Re: [pygame] pygame 1.7.1rc1 released.

Hi,
Just wanted to ask if anyone need more functionality from Overlay.
In my case I have implemented several new calls to deal with overlay direct
blitting.
I have submitted that patch to Pete long time ago, but it was never put in
CVS.
The rationale behind every additional call below:
- set_data( (y,u,v) ) - sets the data to an overlay but do not display it,
so you can do SW blitting via blit().
- blit( img, pos ) - blits the RGB Surface onto YUV overlay surface
- display() - display the Overlay.
In many case RGB over YUV blit just produces bad quality pics with ugly
perfromance, but sometimes that's the only way you can put OSD over movie.
See the example here:
http://pymedia.org/pycar/screenshots/ts1/screenshot_11.html
Let me know if you're interested in this patch so I can compile it.
Thanks,
Dmitry/
