PhFreeTiles()

Return a list of tiles to the internal tile pool

Synopsis:

void PhFreeTiles( PhTile_t * tile);

Library:

ph

Description:

This function returns the given list of tiles to the internal tile pool.

Photon maintains an internal pool of tiles because they're frequently used, and using a pool reduces the amount of time spent allocating and freeing the tiles. Use PhGetTile() to get a tile from the pool, and this function to return a list of tiles to the pool. Don't free() a PhTile_t structure.

Classification:
