# UnlockBuffer buffer

# Parameters

buffer = any valid screen/image buffer (optional)

# Description

After you use LockBuffer on a buffer, the only graphics commands you can use are the read/write pixel commands ReadPixel, WritePixel, ReadPixelFast, and WritePixelFast. You must use this command before using other graphics commands. The buffer parameter isn't required. If omitted, the default buffer set with SetBuffer will be used. See the other commands for more information. See also: LockedPitch, LockedFormat, LockedPixels, ReadPixelFast, WritePixelFast, LockBuffer.
