SYNOPSIS AddAnimOb(anOb, anKey, rp) A0 A1 A2 void AddAnimOb(struct AnimOb *,struct AnimOb **, struct RastPort *); FUNCTION Links this AnimOb into the current list pointed to by animKey. Initializes all the Timers of the AnimOb's components. Calls AddBob with each component's Bob. rp->GelsInfo must point to an initialized GelsInfo structure. INPUTS anOb = pointer to the AnimOb structure to be added to the list anKey = address of a pointer to the first AnimOb in the list (anKey = NULL if there are no AnimObs in the list so far) rp = pointer to a valid RastPort RESULT BUGS SEE ALSO Animate() graphics/rastport.h graphics/gels.h graphics.library/AddBob graphics.library/AddBob NAME AddBob -- Adds a Bob to current gel list. SYNOPSIS AddBob(Bob, rp) A0 A1 void AddBob(struct Bob *, struct RastPort *); FUNCTION Sets up the system Bob flags, then links this gel into the list via AddVSprite. INPUTS Bob = pointer to the Bob structure to be added to the gel list rp = pointer to a RastPort structure RESULT BUGS SEE ALSO InitGels() AddVSprite() graphics/gels.h graphics/rastport.h graphics.library/AddFont graphics.library/AddFont NAME AddFont -- add a font to the system list SYNOPSIS AddFont(textFont) A1 void AddFont(struct TextFont *); FUNCTION This function adds the text font to the system, making it available for use by any application. The font added must be in public memory, and remain until successfully removed. INPUTS textFont - a TextFont structure in public ram. RESULT NOTES This function will set the tf_Accessors to 0. BUGS SEE ALSO SetFont() RemFont() graphics/text.h graphics.library/AddVSprite graphics.library/AddVSprite NAME AddVSprite -- Add a VSprite to the current gel list. SYNOPSIS AddVSprite(vs, rp) A0 A1 void AddVSprite(struct VSprite *, struct RastPort *); FUNCTION Sets up the system VSprite flags Links this VSprite into the current gel list using its Y,X INPUTS vs = pointer to the VSprite structure to be added to the gel list rp = pointer to a RastPort structure RESULT BUGS SEE ALSO InitGels() graphics/rastport.h graphics/gels.h graphics.library/AllocBitMap graphics.library/AllocBitMap NAME AllocBitMap -- Allocate a bitmap and attach bitplanes to it. (V39) SYNOPSIS bitmap=AllocBitMap(sizex,sizey,depth, flags, friend_bitmap) d0 d1 d2 d3 a0 struct BitMap *AllocBitMap(ULONG,ULONG,ULONG,ULONG, struct BitMap *); FUNCTION Allocates and initializes a bitmap structure. Allocates and initializes bitplane data, and sets the bitmap's planes to point to it. INPUTS sizex = the width (in pixels) desired for the bitmap data. sizey = the height (in pixels) desired. depth = the number of bitplanes deep for the allocation. Pixels with AT LEAST this many bits will be allocated. flags = BMF_CLEAR to specify that the allocated raster should be filled with color 0. BMF_DISPLAYABLE to specify that this bitmap data should be allocated in such a manner that it can be displayed. Displayable data has more severe alignment restrictions than non-displayable data in some systems. BMF_INTERLEAVED tells graphics that you would like your bitmap to be allocated with one large chunk of display memory for all bitplanes. This minimizes color flashing on deep displays. If there is not enough contiguous RAM for an interleaved bitmap, graphics.library will fall back to a non-interleaved one. BMF_MINPLANES causes graphics to only allocate enough space in the bitmap structure for "depth" plane pointers. This is for system use and should not be used by applications use as it is inefficient, and may waste memory. friend_bitmap = pointer to another bitmap, or NULL. If this pointer is passed, then the bitmap data will be allocated in the most efficient form for blitting to friend_bitmap. BUGS NOTES When allocating using a friend bitmap, it is not safe to assume anything about the structure of the bitmap data if that friend BitMap might not be a standard amiga bitmap (for instance, if the workbench is running on a non-amiga display device, its Screen->RastPort->BitMap won't be in standard amiga format. The only safe operations to perform on a non-standard BitMap are: - blitting it to another bitmap, which must be either a standard Amiga bitmap, or a friend of this bitmap. - blitting from this bitmap to a friend bitmap or to a standard Amiga bitmap. - attaching it to a rastport and making rendering calls. Good arguments to pass for the friend_bitmap are your window's RPort->BitMap, and your screen's RastPort->BitMap. Do NOT pass &(screenptr->BitMap)! BitMaps not allocated with BMF_DISPLAYABLE may not be used as Intuition Custom BitMaps or as RasInfo->BitMaps. They may be blitted to a BMF_DISPLAYABLE BitMap, using one of the BltBitMap() family of functions. SEE ALSO FreeBitMap() graphics.library/AllocDBufInfo graphics.library/AllocDBufInfo NAME AllocDBufInfo -- Allocate structure for multi-buffered animation (V39) SYNOPSIS AllocDBufInfo(vp) a0 struct DBufInfo * AllocDBufInfo(struct ViewPort *) FUNCTION Allocates a structure which is used by the ChangeVPBitMap() routine. INPUTS vp = A pointer to a ViewPort structure. BUGS NOTES Returns 0 if there is no memory available or if the display mode of the viewport does not support double-buffering. The only fields of the DBufInfo structure which can be used by application programs are the dbi_SafeMessage, dbi_DispMessage, dbi_UserData1 and dbi_UserData2 fields. dbi_SafeMessage and dbi_DispMessage are standard exec message structures which may be used for synchronizing your animation with the screen update. dbi_SafeMessage is a message which is replied to when it is safe to write to the old BitMap (the one which was installed when you called ChangeVPBitMap). dbi_DispMessage is replied to when it is safe to call ChangeVPBitMap again and be certain that the new frame has been seen at least once. The dbi_UserData1 and dbi_UserData2 fields, which are stored after each message, are for your application to stuff any data into that it may need to examine when looking at the reply coming into the ReplyPort for either of the embedded Message structures. DBufInfo structures MUST be allocated with this function. The size of the structure will grow in future releases. The following fragment shows proper double buffering synchronization: int SafeToChange=TRUE, SafeToWrite=TRUE, CurBuffer=1; struct MsgPort *ports[2]; /* reply ports for DispMessage and SafeMessage */ struct BitMap *BmPtrs[2]; struct DBufInfo *myDBI; ... allocate bitmap pointers, DBufInfo, set up viewports, etc. myDBI->dbi_SafeMessage.mn_ReplyPort=ports[0]; myDBI->dbi_DispMessage.mn_ReplyPort=ports[1]; while (! done) { if (! SafeToWrite) while(! GetMsg(ports[0])) Wait(1l<<(ports[0]->mp_SigBit)); SafeToWrite=TRUE; ... render to bitmap # CurBuffer. if (! SafeToChange) while(! GetMsg(ports[1])) Wait(1l<<(ports[1]->mp_SigBit)); SafeToChange=TRUE; WaitBlit(); /* be sure rendering has finished */ ChangeVPBitMap(vp,BmPtrs[CurBuffer],myDBI); SafeToChange=FALSE; SafeToWrite=FALSE; CurBuffer ^=1; /* toggle current buffer */ } if (! SafeToChange) /* cleanup pending messages */ while(! GetMsg(ports[1])) Wait(1l<<(ports[1]->mp_SigBit)); if (! SafeToWrite) /* cleanup */ while(! GetMsg(ports[0])) Wait(1l<<(ports[0]->mp_SigBit)); SEE ALSO FreeDBufInfo() ChangeVPBitMap() graphics.library/AllocRaster graphics.library/AllocRaster NAME AllocRaster -- Allocate space for a bitplane. SYNOPSIS planeptr = AllocRaster( width, height ) d0 d0 d1 PLANEPTR AllocRaster(ULONG,ULONG); FUNCTION This function calls the memory allocation routines to allocate memory space for a bitplane "width" bits wide and "height" bits high. INPUTS width - number of columns in bitplane height - number of rows in bitplane RESULT planeptr - pointer to first word in bitplane, or NULL if it was not possible to allocate the desired amount of memory. NOTES In order to assure proper alignment of display memory, the AllocBitMap() function should be used instead of AllocRaster when you wish to allocate display memory (rasters which are attached to a ViewPort or Screen). BUGS SEE ALSO FreeRaster() graphics/gfx.h graphics.library/AllocSpriteDataA graphics.library/AllocSpriteDataA NAME AllocSpriteDataA -- allocate sprite data and convert from a bitmap. (V39) AllocSpriteData -- varargs stub for AllocSpriteData(). (V39) SYNOPSIS SpritePtr | 0 = AllocSpriteDataA(bitmap,taglist) d0 a2 a1 struct ExtSprite *AllocSpriteDataA( struct BitMap *, struct TagItem * ); extsprite=AllocSpriteData(bitmap,tags,...TAG_END) FUNCTION Allocate memory to hold a sprite image, and convert the passed-in bitmap data to the appropriate format. The tags allow specification of width, scaling, and other options. INPUTS bitmap - ptr to a bitmap. This bitmap provides the source data for the sprite image. tags - SPRITEA_Width specifies how many pixels wide you desire the sprite to be. Specifying a width wider than the hardware can handle will cause the function to return failure. If the bitmap passed in is narrower than the width asked for, then it will be padded on the right with transparent pixels. Defaults to 16. SPRITEA_XReplication controls the horizontal pixel replication factor used when converting the bitmap data. Valid values are: 0 - perform a 1 to 1 conversion 1 - each pixel from the source is replicated twice in the output. 2 - each pixel is replicated 4 times. -1 - skip every other pixel in the source bitmap -2 - only include every fourth pixel from the source. This tag is useful for converting data from one resolution to another. For instance, hi-res bitmap data can be correctly converted for a lo-res sprite by using an x replication factor of -1. Defaults to 0. SPRITEA_YReplication controls the vertical pixel replication factor in the same manner as SPRITEA_XReplication controls the horizontal. SPRITEA_OutputHeight specifies how tall the resulting sprite should be. Defaults to the bitmap height. The bitmap MUST be at least as tall as the output height. SPRITEA_Attached tells the function that you wish to convert the data for the second sprite in an attached sprite pair. This will cause AllocSpriteData() to take its data from the 3rd and 4th bitplanes of the passed in bitmap. Bitplane data is not required to be in chip ram for this function. RESULTS SpritePtr = a pointer to a ExtSprite structure, or 0 if there is a failure. You should pass this pointer to FreeSpriteData() when finished with the sprite. BUGS Under V39, the appropriate attach bits would not be set in the sprite data. The work-around is to set the bits manually. Bit 7 of the second word should be set. On a 32 bit sprite, bit 7 of the 3rd word should also be set. For a 64 bit sprite, bit 7 of the 5th word should also be set. This should NOT be done under V40, as the bug is fixed.

Each must be in the range 1..16383. bsa_SrcBitMap - source of the bits to scale. bsa_DestBitMap - destination for the bits to scale. This had better be big enough! bsa_Flags - future scaling options. Set it to zero! bsa_XDDA, bsa_YDDA - for future use. Need not be set by user. bsa_Reserved1, bsa_Reserved2 - for future use. Need not be set. RESULT The destWidth, destHeight fields are set by this function as described above. NOTES o This function may use the blitter. o Overlapping source and destination bit maps are not supported. o No check is made to ensure destBitMap is big enough: use ScalerDiv to calculate a destination dimension. BUGS o This function does not use the HighRes Agnus 'Big Blit' facility. You should not use XSrcFactor == XDestFactor, where SrcWidth or DestWidth > 1024. o Also, the blitter is used when expanding in the Y direction. You should not expand in the Y direction if ((DestX & 0xf) + DestWidth) >= 1024 pixels. (Up to 1008 pixels is always safe).

This blit is assumed to be friendly: no error conditions (e.g. a rectangle outside the BitMap bounds) are tested or reported. INPUTS SrcBitMap, DstBitMap - the BitMap(s) containing the rectangles - the planes copied from the source to the destination are only those whose plane numbers are identical and less than the minimum Depth of either BitMap and whose Mask bit for that plane is non-zero. - as a special case, if a plane pointer in the SrcBitMap is zero, it acts as a pointer to a plane of all zeros, and if the plane pointer is 0xffffffff, it acts as a pointer to a plane of all ones.

Valid range is positive signed integer such that the raster word's offset 0..(32767-Size) DstX, DstY - the x and y coordinates of the upper left corner of the destination for the rectangle. Valid range is as for Src. SizeX, SizeY - the size of the rectangle to be moved.

B is the source rectangle and C, D is the destination for the rectangle. - $0C0 is a vanilla copy - $030 inverts the source before the copy - $050 ignores the source and inverts the destination - see the hardware reference manual for other combinations Mask - the write mask to apply to this operation. Bits set indicate the corresponding planes (if not greater than the minimum plane count) are to participate in the operation. Typically this is set to 0xff. TempA - If the copy overlaps exactly to the left or right (i.e. the scan line addresses overlap), and TempA is non-zero, it points to enough chip accessible memory to hold a line of A source for the blit (ie CHIP RAM). BltBitMap will allocate (and free) the needed TempA if none is provided and one is needed. Blit overlap is determined from the relation of the first non-masked planes in the source and destination bit maps. RESULTS planecnt - the number of planes actually involved in the blit.

SYNOPSIS BltClear( memBlock, bytecount, flags ) a1 d0 d1 void BltClear( void *, ULONG, ULONG ); FUNCTION For memory that is local and blitter accessible, the most efficient way to clear a range of memory locations is to use the system's most efficient data mover, the blitter. This command accepts the starting location and count and clears that block to zeros. INPUTS memBloc - pointer to local memory to be cleared memBlock is assumed to be even. flags - set bit 0 to force function to wait until the blit is done. set bit 1 to use row/bytesperrow. bytecount - if (flags & 2) == 0 then even number of bytes to clear. else low 16 bits is taken as number of bytes per row and upper 16 bits taken as number of rows.

SYNOPSIS Move( rp, x, y) a1 d0:16 d1:16 void Move( struct RastPort *, SHORT, SHORT ); FUNCTION Move graphics pen position to (x,y) relative to upper left (0,0) of RastPort. This sets the starting point for subsequent Draw() and Text() calls.

SYNOPSIS MoveSprite(vp, sprite, x, y) A0 A1 D0 D1 void MoveSprite(struct ViewPort *,struct SimpleSprite *, WORD, WORD); FUNCTION Move sprite image to new place on display. INPUTS vp - pointer to ViewPort structure if vp = 0, sprite is positioned relative to View. sprite - pointer to SimpleSprite structure (x,y) - new position relative to top of viewport or view. RESULTS Calculate the hardware information for the sprite and place it in the posctldata array. During next video display the sprite will appear in new position. BUGS Sprites really appear one pixel to the left of the position you specify. This bug affects the apparent display position of the sprite on the screen, but does not affect the numeric position relative to the viewport or view. This behaviour only applies to SimpleSprites, not to ExtSprites. SEE ALSO FreeSprite() ChangeSprite() GetSprite() graphics/sprite.h graphics.library/MrgCop graphics.library/MrgCop NAME MrgCop -- Merge together coprocessor instructions. SYNOPSIS error = MrgCop( View ) d0 A1 ULONG MrgCop( struct View * ); FUNCTION Merge together the display, color, sprite and user coprocessor instructions into a single coprocessor instruction stream. This essentially creates a per-display-frame program for the coprocessor. This function MrgCop is used, for example, by the graphics animation routines which effectively add information into an essentially static background display. This changes some of the user or sprite instructions, but not those which have formed the basic display in the first place. When all forms of coprocessor instructions are merged together, you will have a complete per- frame instruction list for the coprocessor. Restrictions: Each of the coprocessor instruction lists MUST be internally sorted in min to max Y-X order. The merge routines depend on this! Each list must be terminated using CEND(copperlist). INPUTS View - a pointer to the view structure whose coprocessor instructions are to be merged. RESULT The view structure will now contain a complete, sorted/merged list of instructions for the coprocessor, ready to be used by the display processor. The display processor is told to use this new instruction stream through the instruction LoadView(). From V39, MrgCop() can return a ULONG error value (previous versions returned void), to indicate that either there was insufficient memory to build the system copper lists, or that MrgCop() had no work to do if, for example, there were no ViewPorts in the list. You should check for these error values - they are defined in <graphics/view.h>.

Using each ID in succession, you can then call FindDisplayInfo() to obtain the handle associated with each ID. Each ID is a 32-bit Key which uniquely identifies one record. The INVALID_ID is special, and indicates the end-of-list. INPUTS last_ID - previous displayinfo identifier or INVALID_ID if beginning iteration.

(V39) ObtainBestPen --- varargs stub for ObtainBestPenA SYNOPSIS color | -1 =ObtainBestPenA( cm, R, G, B, taglist) a0 d1 d2 d3 a1 LONG ObtainBestPenA( struct ColorMap *, ULONG, ULONG, ULONG, struct TagItem *); color = ObtainBestPen(cm,r,g,b,tags....); INPUTS cm = colormap R = red level (32 bit left justified fraction) G = green level (32 bit left justified fraction) B = blue level (32 bit left justified fraction) taglist = a pointer to a standard tag list specifying the color matching settings desired: OBP_Precision - specifies the desired precision for the match. Should be PRECISION_GUI, PRECISION_ICON, or PRECISION_IMAGE or PRECISION_EXACT. Defaults to PRECISION_IMAGE. OBP_FailIfBad - specifies that you want ObtainBestPen to return a failure value if there is not a color within the given tolerance, instead of returning the closest color. With OBP_FailIfBad==FALSE, ObtainBestPen will only fail if the ViewPort contains no sharable colors. Defaults to FALSE. FUNCTION This function can be used by applications to figure out what pen to use to represent a given color. The system will attempt to find the color in your viewport closest to the specified color. If there is no color within your tolerance, then a new one will be allocated, if available. If none is available, then the closest one found will be returned. RESULT The correct pen value, or -1 if no sharable palette entries are available. BUGS NOTES If this call succceeds, then you must call ReleasePen() when you are done with the color. The error metric used for ObtainBestPen() is based on the magnitude squared between the two RGB values, scaled by the percentage of free entries. SEE ALSO GetColorMap() ObtainPen() ReleasePen() graphics.library/ObtainPen graphics.library/ObtainPen NAME ObtainPen -- Obtain a free palette entry for use by your program. (V39) SYNOPSIS n = ObtainPen( cm, n, r, g, b, flags) d0 a0 d0 d1 d2 d3 d4 LONG ObtainPen(struct ColorMap *,ULONG,ULONG,ULONG,ULONG,ULONG); FUNCTION Attempt to allocate an entry in the colormap for use by the application. If successful, you should ReleasePen() this entry after you have finished with it. Applications needing exclusive use of a color register (say for color cycling) will typically call this function with n=-1. Applications needing only the shared use of a color will typically use ObtainBestPenA() instead. Other uses of this function are rare. INPUTS cm = A pointer to a color map created by GetColorMap(). n = The index of the desired entry, or -1 if any one is acceptable rgb = The RGB values (32 bit left justified fractions) to set the new palette entry to. flags= PEN_EXCLUSIVE - tells the system that you want exclusive (non-shared) use of this pen value. Default is shared access. PEN_NO_SETCOLOR - tells the system to not change the rgb values for the selected pen. Really only makes sense for exclusive pens. RESULTS n = The allocated pen. -1 will be returned if there is no pen available for you. BUGS NOTES When you allocate a palette entry in non-exclusive mode, you should not change it (via SetRGB32), because other programs on the same screen may be using it. With PEN_EXCLUSIVE mode, you can change the returned entry at will. To avoid visual artifacts, you should not free up a palette entry until you are sure that your application is not displaying any pixels in that color at the time you free it. Otherwise, another task could allocate and set that color index, thus changing the colors of your pixels. Generally, for shared access, you should use ObtainBestPenA() instead, since it will not allocate a new color if there is one "close enough" to the one you want already. If there is no Palextra attached to the colormap, then this routine will always fail.

SYNOPSIS font = OpenFont(textAttr) D0 A0 struct TextFont *OpenFont(struct TextAttr *); FUNCTION This function searches the system font space for the graphics text font that best matches the attributes specified. The pointer to the font returned can be used in subsequent SetFont and CloseFont calls. It is important to match this call with a corresponding CloseFont call for effective management of ram fonts. INPUTS textAttr - a TextAttr or TTextAttr structure that describes the text font attributes desired. RESULT font is zero if the desired font cannot be found. If the named font is found, but the size and style specified are not available, a font with the nearest attributes is returned. BUGS Prior to V39 this function would return a TextFont pointer for any font which matched exactly in Y size, regardless of differences in DPI, or DotSize. As part of fixing this bug it is REQUIRED that you use pass the same TextAttr (or TTextAttr) to this function that was used when OpenDiskFont() was called. OpenFont(), and OpenDiskFont() use WeighTAMatch() to measure how well two fonts match. WeightTAMatch() was a public function in graphics.library V36-V37; it is now a system PRIVATE function as of V39.

If the blitter is not available put task to sleep. It will be awakened as soon as the blitter is available. When the task first owns the blitter the blitter may still be finishing up a blit for the previous owner. You must do a WaitBlit before actually using the blitter registers.

The pointer bp points to a blit structure containing, among other things, the link information, and the address of your routine which is to be called when the blitter queue finally gets around to this specific request. When your routine is called, you are in control of the blitter ... it is not busy with anyone else's requests. This means that you can directly specify the register contents and start the blitter. See the description of the blit structure and the uses of QBlit in the section titled Graphics Support in the OS Kernel Manual. Your code must be written to run either in supervisor or user mode on the 68000. INPUTS bp - pointer to a blit structure RESULT Your routine is called when the blitter is ready for you. In general requests for blitter usage through this channel are put in front of those who use the blitter via OwnBlitter and DisownBlitter. However for small blits there is more overhead using the queuer than Own/Disown Blitter. NOTES Code which uses QBlit(), or QBSBlit() should make use of the pointer to a cleanup routine in the bltnode structure. The cleanup routine may be called on the context of an interrupt, therefore the routine may set a flag, and signal a task, but it may not call FreeMem() directly. Use of the cleanup routine is the only safe way to signal that your bltnode has completed. BUGS QBlit(), and QBSBlit() have been rewritten for V39 due to various long standing bugs in earlier versions of this code. SEE ALSO QBSBlit() hardware/blit.h graphics.library/QBSBlit graphics.library/QBSBlit NAME QBSBlit -- Synchronize the blitter request with the video beam. SYNOPSIS QBSBlit( bsp ) a1 void QBSBlit( struct bltnode * ); FUNCTION Call a user routine for use of the blitter, enqueued separately from the QBlit queue. Calls the user routine contained in the blit structure when the video beam is located at a specified position onscreen. Useful when you are trying to blit into a visible part of the screen and wish to perform the data move while the beam is not trying to display that same area. (prevents showing part of an old display and part of a new display simultaneously). Blitter requests on the QBSBlit queue take precedence over those on the regular blitter queue. The beam position is specified the blitnode. INPUTS bsp - pointer to a blit structure. See description in the Graphics Support section of the manual for more info. RESULT User routine is called when the QBSBlit queue reaches this request AND the video beam is in the specified position. If there are lots of blits going on and the video beam has wrapped around back to the top it will call all the remaining bltnodes as fast as it can to try and catch up. NOTES QBlit(), and QBSBlit() have been rewritten for V39. Queued blits are now handled in FIFO order. Tasks trying to OwnBlitter() are now given a fair share of the total blitter time available. QBSBlit() are no longer queued separately from nodes added by QBlit(). This fixes the ordering dependencies listed under BUGS in prior autodoc notes.

This function clears the effect of any previous soft styles. INPUTS rp - the RastPort in which the text attributes are to be changed font - pointer to a TextFont structure returned from OpenFont() or OpenDiskFont() RESULT NOTES This function had previously been documented that it would accept a null font. This practice is discouraged. o Use of a RastPort with a null font with text routines has always been incorrect and risked the guru. o Keeping an obsolete font pointer in the RastPort is no more dangerous than keeping a zero one there. o SetFont(rp, 0) causes spurious low memory accesses under some system software releases. As of V36, the following Amiga font variants are no longer directly supported: fonts with NULL tf_CharSpace and non-NULL tf_CharKern. fonts with non-NULL tf_CharSpace and NULL tf_CharKern. fonts with NULL tf_CharSpace and NULL tf_CharKern with a tf_CharLoc size component greater than tf_XSize. Attempts to SetFont these one of these font variants will cause the system to modify your font to make it acceptable. BUGS Calling SetFont() on in-code TextFonts (ie fonts not OpenFont()ed) will result in a loss of 24 bytes from the system as of V36. This can be resolved by calling StripFont(). SEE ALSO OpenFont() StripFont() diskfont.library/OpenDiskFont() graphics/text.h graphics.library/SetMaxPen graphics.library/SetMaxPen NAME SetMaxPen -- set maximum pen value for a rastport (V39). SYNOPSIS SetMaxPen ( rp, maxpen) a0 d0 void SetMaxPen(struct RastPort *,ULONG) FUNCTION This will instruct the graphics library that the owner of the rastport will not be rendering in any colors whose index is >maxpen. If there are any speed optimizations which the graphics device can make based on this fact (for instance, setting the pixel write mask), they will be done. Basically this call sets the rastport mask, if this would improve speed. On devices where masking would slow things down (like with chunky pixels), it will be a no-op. INPUTS rp = a pointer to a valid RastPort structure. maxpen = a longword pen value. BUGS NOTES The maximum pen value passed must take into account not only which colors you intend to render in the future, but what colors you will be rendering on top of. SetMaxPen(rp,0) doesn't make much sense. SEE ALSO SetWriteMask() graphics.library/SetOPen graphics.library/SetOPen NAME SetOPen -- Change the Area OutLine pen and turn on Outline mode for areafills.

The selected color register is changed to match your specs. If the color value is unused then nothing will happen. BUGS NOTES Lower order bits of the palette specification will be discarded, depending on the color palette resolution of the target graphics device.

SYNOPSIS newStyle = SetSoftStyle(rp, style, enable) D0 A1 D0 D1 ULONG SetSoftStyle(struct RastPort *, ULONG, ULONG); FUNCTION This function alters the soft style of the current font. Only those bits that are also set in enable are affected. The resulting style is returned, since some style request changes will not be honored when the implicit style of the font precludes changing them. INPUTS rp - the RastPort from which the font and style are extracted. style - the new font style to set, subject to enable. enable - those bits in style to be changed. Any set bits here that would not be set as a result of AskSoftStyle will be ignored, and the newStyle result will not be as expected.

This is used for those functions that do not want to deal with the ClipRect structures but do want to be able to work with a SuperBitMap Layer. INPUTS layer - pointer to a Layer that has a SuperBitMap The Layer should already be locked by the caller. RESULT After calling this function, the programmer can manipulate the bits in the superbitmap associated with the layer. Afterwards, the programmer should call CopySBitMap to copy the bits back into the onscreen layer. BUGS SEE ALSO CopySBitMap() graphics/clip.h graphics.library/Text graphics.library/Text NAME Text -- Write text characters (no formatting). SYNOPSIS Text(rp, string, length) A1 A0 D0-0:16 void Text(struct RastPort *, STRPTR, WORD); FUNCTION This graphics function writes printable text characters to the specified RastPort at the current position. No control meaning is applied to any of the characters, thus only text on the current line is output. The current position in the RastPort is updated to the next character position. If the characters displayed run past the RastPort boundary, the current position is truncated to the boundary, and thus does not equal the old position plus the text length. INPUTS rp - a pointer to the RastPort which describes where the text is to be output string - the address of string to output length - the number of characters in the string. If zero, there are no characters to be output. NOTES o This function may use the blitter. o Changing the text direction with RastPort->TxSpacing is not supported. BUGS For V34 and earlier: o The maximum string length (in pixels) is limited to (1024 - 16 = 1008) pixels wide. o A text string whose last character(s) have a tf_CharLoc size component that extends to the right of the rightmost of the initial and final CP positions will be (inappropriately) clipped. SEE ALSO Move() TextLength() graphics/text.h graphics/rastport.h graphics.library/TextExtent graphics.library/TextExtent NAME TextExtent -- Determine raster extent of text data. (V36) SYNOPSIS TextExtent(rp, string, count, textExtent) A1 A0 D0:16 A2 void textExtent(struct RastPort *, STRPTR, WORD, struct TextExtent *); FUNCTION This function determines a more complete metric of the space that a text string would render into than the TextLength() function. INPUTS rp - a pointer to the RastPort which describes where the text attributes reside. string - the address of the string to determine the length of. count - the number of characters in the string. If zero, there are no characters in the string. textExtent - a structure to hold the result. RESULTS textExtent is filled in as follows: te_Width - same as TextLength() result: the rp_cp_x advance that rendering this text would cause. te_Height - same as tf_YSize. The height of the font. te_Extent.MinX - the offset to the left side of the rectangle this would render into. Often zero. te_Extent.MinY - same as -tf_Baseline. The offset from the baseline to the top of the rectangle this would render into. te_Extent.MaxX - the offset of the left side of the rectangle this would render into. Often the same as te_Width-1. te_Extent.MaxY - same as tf_YSize-tf_Baseline-1. The offset from the baseline to the bottom of the rectangle this would render into. SEE ALSO TextLength() Text() TextFit() graphics/text.h graphics/rastport.h graphics.library/TextFit graphics.library/TextFit NAME TextFit - count characters that will fit in a given extent (V36) SYNOPSIS chars = TextFit(rastport, string, strLen, textExtent, D0 A1 A0 D0 A2 constrainingExtent, strDirection, A3 D1 constrainingBitWidth, constrainingBitHeight) D2 D3 ULONG TextFit(struct RastPort *, STRPTR, UWORD, struct TextExtent *, struct TextExtent *, WORD, UWORD, UWORD); FUNCTION This function determines how many of the characters of the provided string will fit into the space described by the constraining parameters. It also returns the extent of that number of characters. INPUTS rp - a pointer to the RastPort which describes where the text attributes reside. string - the address of string to determine the constraint of strLen - The number of characters in the string. If zero, there are no characters in the string. textExtent - a structure to hold the extent result. constrainingExtent - the extent that the text must fit in. This can be NULL, indicating only the constrainingBit dimensions will describe the constraint. strDirection - the offset to add to the string pointer to get to the next character in the string. Usually 1. Set to -1 and the string to the end of the string to perform a TextFit() anchored at the end. No other value is valid. constrainingBitWidth - an alternative way to specify the rendering box constraint width that is independent of the rendering origin. Range 0..32767. constrainingBitHeight - an alternative way to specify the rendering box constraint height that is independent of the rendering origin. Range 0..32767. RESULTS chars - the number of characters from the origin of the given string that will fit in both the constraining extent (which specifies a CP bound and a rendering box relative to the origin) and in the rendering width and height specified. NOTES The result is zero chars and an empty textExtent when the fit cannot be performed. This occurs not only when no text will fit in the provided constraints, but also when: - the RastPort rp's rp_TxSpacing sign and magnitude is so great it reverses the path of the text. - the constrainingExtent does not include x = 0. BUGS Under V37, TextFit() would return one too few characters if the font was proportional. This can be worked around by passing (constrainingBitWidth + 1) for proportional fonts. This is fixed for V39. SEE ALSO TextExtent() TextLength() Text() graphics/text.h graphics/rastport.h graphics.library/TextLength graphics.library/TextLength NAME TextLength -- Determine raster length of text data. SYNOPSIS length = TextLength(rp, string, count) D0 A1 A0 D0:16 WORD TextLength(struct RastPort *, STRPTR, WORD); FUNCTION This graphics function determines the length that text data would occupy if output to the specified RastPort with the current attributes. The length is specified as the number of raster dots: to determine what the current position would be after a Text() using this string, add the length to cp_x (cp_y is unchanged by Text()). Use the newer TextExtent() to get more information. INPUTS rp - a pointer to the RastPort which describes where the text attributes reside. string - the address of string to determine the length of count - the string length. If zero, there are no characters in the string. RESULTS length - the number of pixels in x this text would occupy, not including any negative kerning that may take place at the beginning of the text string, nor taking into account the effects of any clipping that may take place. NOTES Prior to V36, the result length occupied only the low word of d0 and was not sign extended into the high word.

(V39) VC_IntermediateCLUpdate VC_IntermediateCLUpdate_Query When set, graphics will update the intermediate copper lists on colour changes. When FALSE, graphics won't update the intermediate copperlists, so ScrollVPort(), ChangeVPBitMap() and colour loading functions will be faster. This value is TRUE by default.

Note that you must NOT change colors in the viewport (via SetRGB4(), LoadRGB4(), SetRGB4(), etc.) after changing any of the color palette offsets (VTAG_PF1_BASE, etc), without first remaking the ViewPort. NOTES Sprite resolutions is controlled by two sets of tags, SPRITERESN and DEFSPRITERESN. If you don't set the sprite resolution, it will follow the intuition-controlled "default" sprite resolution. Setting the sprite resolution to one of the SPRITERESN_ values will allow the application to override intuition's control of it. This function will modify the contents of the TagList you pass to it by changing _GET tags to the corresponding _SET or _CLR tag. The exceptions to this rule are documented as such above (such as VTAG_IMMEDIATE). The new tags added for V40 have the prefix VC_ instead of VTAG_.

SYNOPSIS WaitBlit() void WaitBlit( void ); FUNCTION WaitBlit returns when the blitter is idle. This function should normally only be used when dealing with the blitter in a synchronous manner, such as when using OwnBlitter and DisownBlitter. WaitBlit does not wait for all blits queued up using QBlit or QBSBlit. You should call WaitBlit if you are just about to modify or free some memory that the blitter may be using. INPUTS none RESULT Your program waits until the blitter is finished. This routine does not use any the CPU registers. do/d1/a0/a1 are preserved by this routine. It may change the condition codes though. BUGS When examining bits with the CPU right after a blit, or when freeing temporary memory used by the blitter, a WaitBlit() may be required. Note that many graphics calls fire up the blitter, and let it run. The CPU does not need to wait for the blitter to finish before returning. Because of a bug in Agnus (prior to all revisions of fat Agnus) this code may return too soon when the blitter has, in fact, not started the blit yet, even though BltSize has been written. This most often occurs in a heavily loaded system with extended memory, HIRES, and 4 bitplanes. WaitBlit currently tries to avoid this Agnus problem by testing the BUSY bit multiple times to make sure the blitter has started. If the blitter is BUSY at first check, this function busy waits. This initial hardware bug was fixed as of the first "Fat Agnus" chip, as used in all A500 and A2000 computers. Because of a different bug in Agnus (currently all revisions thru ECS) this code may return too soon when the blitter has, in fact, not stopped the blit yet, even though blitter busy has been cleared. This most often occurs in a heavily loaded system with extended memory, in PRODUCTIVITY mode, and 2 bitplanes. WaitBlit currently tries to avoid this Agnus problem by testing the BUSY bit multiple times to make sure the blitter has really written its final word of destination data.

SYNOPSIS WaitBOVP( vp ) a0 void WaitBOVP( struct ViewPort * ); FUNCTION Returns when the vertical beam has reached the bottom of this viewport INPUTS vp - pointer to ViewPort structure RESULT This function will return sometime after the beam gets beyond the bottom of the viewport. Depending on the multitasking load of the system, the actual beam position may be different than what would be expected in a lightly loaded system. BUGS Horrors! This function currently busy waits waiting for the beam to get to the right place. It should use the copper interrupt to trigger and send signals like WaitTOF does.

INPUTS rp - pointer to a RastPort structure (xstart,ystart) - starting point in the RastPort (xstop,ystop) - stopping point in the RastPort array - pointer to an array of UBYTEs from which to fetch the pixel data. bytesperrow - The number of bytes per row in the source array. This should be at least as large as the number of pixels being written per line. RESULT NOTE xstop must be >= xstart ystop must be >= ystart The source array can be in fast RAM. ===chunky-to-planar conversion HW: GfxBase->ChunkyToPlanarPtr is either NULL, or a pointer to a HW register used to aid in the process of converting 8-bit chunky pixel data into the bit-plane format used by the Amiga custom display chips. If NULL, then such hardware is not present. If an expansion device provides hardware which operates compatibly, than it can install the HW address into this pointer at boot time, and the system will use it. This pointer may be used for direct access to the chunky-to-planar conversion HW, if more is desired than the straight chunky-pixel copy that is performed by WriteChunkyPixels(). If using the hardware directly, it should only be accessed when the task using it has control of the blitter (via OwnBlitter()), since this is the locking used to arbitrate usage of this device. The hardware may be viewed as a device which accepts 32 8-bit chunky pixels and outputs 8 longwords of bitplane data. For proper operation, exactly 8 longwords (containing 32 pixels) of chunky data should be written to *(GfxBase->ChunkyToPlanarPtr). After the data is written, bitplane data (starting with plane 0) can be read back a longword at a time. There is no need to read back all 8 longwords if the high-order bitplanes are not needed. Since WriteChunkyPixels is not (currently) particularly fast on systems without the chunky-to-planar hardware, time critical applications (games, etc) may want to use their own custom conversion routine if GfxBase->ChunkyToPlanarPtr is NULL, and call WriteChunkyPixels() otherwise. This pointer is only present in GfxBase in versions of graphics.library >= 40, so this should be checked before the pointer is read. BUGS Not very fast on systems without chunky-to-planar conversion hardware.
