PhGetTile()

Retrieve a tile from the internal tile pool

Synopsis:

PhTile_t *PhGetTile( void );

Library:

ph

Description:

Photon maintains an internal pool of tiles because tiles are frequently used, and using the pool reduces the amount of time allocating and freeing the tiles. This function retrieves a tile from the internal tile pool. The tile isn't initialized.

Don't free() the tile; instead, use PhFreeTiles() to return the tile to the pool.

Returns:

A pointer to the new tile, or NULL if an error occurred.

Classification:

Photon
