Arguments

id = name of the variable which holds the ID of the surface (see surface_create).

Limitations

none.

Note: Please remove limitations and port them in the "Remarks" section at the end of the article.

This function sets the drawing target to the surface with the corresponding ID instead of drawing to the main window. This is useful because it lets you perform the draw actions once instead of constantly at the draw event. This saves much speed.

[edit] Example

surface_set_target(surface);
//draw_...
//draw_...
surface_reset_target();
