Description

This is a completely unhelpful example, and the page does not give enough information about how this is handled with surface formats and what their standards should be.
Ideally a look up table / referencewould be better hear to compare the format, the buffer, and how that looks in hex.

Additionally surface_create is a much more helpful page however it still does not really give much information as to how to make use of formats and buffers.
