SDL::Overlay - YUV Video overlay

       See "AUTHORS" in SDL.

perl v5.40.0                                       2024-10-20                            pods::SDL::Overlay(3pm)

       A "SDL_Overlay" allows for video rendering on an "SDL_Surface" which is a display.

       The term 'overlay' is a misnomer since, unless the overlay is created in hardware, the contents for the
       display surface underneath the area where the overlay is shown will be overwritten when the overlay is
       displayed.

new($width,$height,$YUV_flag,$display)
       The constructor creates a SDL::Overlay of the specified width, height and format (see "YUV_Flags" list
       below of available formats), for the provided display.

       Note the 'display' argument needs to actually be the surface created by "SDL::Video::SetVideoMode"
       otherwise this function will segfault.

          my $overlay = SDL::Overlay->new( $width, $height, $YUV_flag, $display );

   format
       Overlay format (see YUV_Flags)

   w,h
       Width and height of overlay

   planes
       Number of planes in the overlay. Usually either 1 or 3

   pitches
       An array of pitches, one for each plane. Pitch is the length of a row in bytes.

   pixels
       As of release 2.3 direct right to overlay is disable.

       An  array  of  pointers to the data of each plane. The overlay should be locked before these pointers are
       used.

       see SDL::Video::lock_YUV_overlay, SDL::Video::unload_YUV_overlay

   hw_overlay
       This will be set to 1 if the overlay is hardware accelerated.

       First import the following modules to get access to constants and functions needed for overlay.

          use SDL;
          use SDL::Video;
          use SDL::Overlay;

       Init the video subsystem.

          SDL::Init(SDL_INIT_VIDEO);

       Create a display to use.

          my $display = SDL::Video::set_video_mode(640, 480, 32, SDL_SWSURFACE);

       Create and attach the display to a new overlay

          my $overlay = SDL::Overlay->new( 100, 100, SDL_YV12_OVERLAY, $display);
