Roland Heyder aeb9c0668b Updates help files for use with new Wiki parser (2nd try)
Note: Many files were removed (not yet existing/empty pages). The parser will try to download them on demand and will auto-generate text for missing pages (eg. most _gl pages).

{{DISPLAYTITLE:_BLEND}}
The [[_BLEND]] statement turns on 32 bit alpha blending for an image or screen mode and is on by default.
{{PageSyntax}}
: [[_BLEND]] [{{Parameter|imageHandle&}}]
===Parameters===
* {{Parameter|imageHandle&}} refers to an image in memory. If not specified, the current destination page (See [[_DEST]]) is affected.
{{PageDescription}}
* Alpha blending is on by default when loading a .PNG image to a 32-bit surface.
* Normally it is used to turn blending on after a previous [[_DONTBLEND]] call.
* [[_BLEND]] can only be used on 32-bit surfaces, otherwise it will produce the error [[ERROR Codes|Illegal Function Call]].
* '''Note: [[_DONTBLEND]] is faster than the default [[_BLEND]] unless you really need to use it in 32 bit.'''
* '''32 bit screen surface backgrounds (black) have zero [[_ALPHA]] so that they are transparent when placed over other surfaces.'''
