=head1 NAME

SDL::GFX::Primitives - basic drawing functions

=head1 CATEGORY

GFX

=head1	DESCRIPTION

All functions take an SDL::Surface object as first parameter. This can be a new surface that will be blitted afterwards, can be an surface 
obtained by L<SDL::Video::set_video_mode|SDL::Video/"set_video_mode"> or can be an L<SDLx::App>.

The C<color> values for the C<_color> functions are C<0xRRGGBBAA> (32bit), even if the surface uses e. g. 8bit colors.

=head1	METHODS

=head2	pixel

 int SDL::GFX::Primitives::pixel_color( $surface, $x, $y, $color );
 int SDL::GFX::Primitives::pixel_RGBA(  $surface, $x, $y, $r, $g, $b, $a );

Draws a pixel at point C<x>/C<$y>. You can pass the color by C<0xRRGGBBAA> or by passing 4 values. One for red, green, blue and alpha.

The fontsets are included in the SDL_gfx distribution. Check L<http://www.ferzkopp.net/joomla/content/view/19/14/> for more.

Example:

 my $font = '';
 open(FH, '<', 'data/5x7.fnt');
 binmode(FH);
 read(FH, $font, 4096);
 close(FH);
