4 The 'GP_Context' structure describes an 'in memory' memory. It contains all
5 metadata needed for drawing into a bitmap.
11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12 typedef struct GP_Context {
13 uint8_t *pixels; /* pointer to image pixels */
14 uint8_t bpp; /* pixel length in bits */
15 uint32_t bytes_per_row;
16 uint32_t w; /* width in pixels */
17 uint32_t h; /* height in pixels */
19 * Row bit offset. The offset is ignored for byte aligned pixels.
20 * Basically it's used for non aligned pixels with combination
25 enum GP_PixelType pixel_type; /* pixel format */
27 uint8_t axes_swap:1; /* swap axes */
28 uint8_t x_swap:1; /* mirror x */
29 uint8_t y_swap:1; /* mirror y */
30 uint8_t bit_endian:1; /* GP_BIT_ENDIAN */
31 uint8_t free_pixels:1; /* if set GP_ContextFree() calls free on context->pixels */
33 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
35 The 'pixels' field points to the image data, stored as a one-dimensional
36 array of byte-aligned lines. (There can be some unused space at the end of
37 each line; this is reflected by the 'bytes_per_row' value being greater
38 than what would be needed for that pixel format).
43 The orientation flags affects the gfx and text drawing functions and blits. If
44 some of the flags is changed the origin and direction of the drawing is
45 changed accordingly. Note that the image pixels are not affected by this at
46 all only the coordinates passed to drawing functions are transformed.
48 If you don't need this functionality just don't touch the flags the as
49 overhead of these transformations is not measurable.
51 If you really need drawing primitives that do not use the orientation flags,
52 you could use variants with _Raw suffix (although this is not recommended).
54 There are various helper macros for transforming coordinates and sizes in
55 'core/GP_Transform.h'. And context helper functions to "rotate" the flags
56 clock wise and counter clock wise as well as functions to get the context size
57 when taking into the account the width and height.
60 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
61 #include <core/GP_Transform.h>
65 /* Transforms point user coordinates to bitmap coordinates */
66 GP_TRANSFORM_POINT(context, x, y)
68 /* Transforms rectangular area coordinates and size */
69 GP_TRANSFORM_RECT(context, x, y, w, h)
71 /* Inverse transformation, bitmap coordinates to user coordinates */
72 GP_RETRANSFORM_POINT(context, x, y)
73 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
76 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
77 #include <core/GP_Context.h>
82 * Rotate context flags clock wise.
84 void GP_ContextRotateCW(GP_Context *context);
87 * Rotate context flags counter clock wise.
89 void GP_ContextRotateCCW(GP_Context *context);
92 * Retruns 1 if rotation flags are equal.
94 int GP_ContextRotationEqual(const GP_Context *c1, const GP_Context *c2);
97 * Sets context rotation flags.
99 void GP_ContextSetRotation(GP_Context *dst, int axes_swap,
100 int x_swap, int y_swap);
103 * Copies rotation flags.
105 void GP_ContextCopyRotation(const GP_Context *src, GP_Context *dst);
108 * Returns context width and height taking the rotation flags into the account.

114 Basic context functions
115 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
118 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
119 #include <core/GP_Context.h>
123 GP_Context *GP_ContextInit(GP_Context *context, GP_Size w, GP_Size h,
124 GP_PixelType type, void *pixels);
125 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
127 Initialize given context accordingly to parameters, the rest of context
128 parameters are set to the default values (i.e. rotation flags are all set to
129 zero, 'free_pixels' flag is not set). Number of bits per pixel and
130 bytes per row are computed from the given pixel type and size.
132 The 'pixels' pointer can be 'NULL' and can be changed later manually (the call
133 will *not* try to allocate the pixel memory automatically).
135 The function returns a pointer to the initialized context (i.e. the same
136 pointer you passed as second argument).
139 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
140 #include <core/GP_Context.h>
144 GP_Context *GP_ContextAlloc(GP_Size w, GP_Size h, GP_PixelType type);
145 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
147 The 'GP_ContextAlloc()' allocates and initializes a context.
149 The orientation flags are all set to zero, the 'free_pixels' flag is set and the
150 rest of the metadata are calculated accordingly to width, height and
151 pixel_type.The 'pixels' pointer will point to a newly allocated bitmap with
152 appropriate size; the initial contents of the bitmap are undefined.
155 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
156 #include <core/GP_Context.h>
160 enum GP_ContextCopyFlags {
162 * Copy bitmap pixels too. If not set pixels are uninitialized.
164 GP_COPY_WITH_PIXELS = 0x01,
166 * Copy image rotation flags. If not set flags are set to (0, 0, 0).
168 GP_COPY_WITH_ROTATION = 0x02,
171 GP_Context *GP_ContextCopy(const GP_Context *src, int flags);
172 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
174 The 'GP_ContextCopy()' allocates and initializes a copy of the context passed
177 The call returns pointer to newly allocated context or in case of 'malloc()'
180 If 'GP_COPY_WITH_PIXELS' is set, the bitmap contents ('src->pixels') are also
181 copied; otherwise the copy will have the same dimensions but undefined
184 If 'GP_COPY_WITH_ROTATION' is set rotation flags are copied; otherwise rotation
185 flags are set to zero.
187 The 'free_pixels' flag for the resulting context is set.
190 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
191 #include <core/GP_Context.h>
195 void GP_ContextFree(GP_Context *context);
196 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
198 Frees the context memory. If 'free_pixels' flag is set, the pixels buffer is
204 A subcontext is a context that refers to a rectangular area within another
205 context. Subcontexts can be used as any other context (including creating
206 another subcontexts). Generally the subcontexts behave exactly as any other
207 contexts with one exception, if you create several overlapping subcontexts the
208 results may be unexpected.
210 Calling 'GP_ContextFree()' on a allocated subcontext is safe; the bitmap is not
211 freed as it belongs to another context; it will be freed with the hosting
212 context (i.e. the 'free_pixels' flag is not set when creating subcontext). On
213 the other hand, the subcontext doesn't hold a reference to the original
214 context, so once the parent context is freed the subcontext pixel pointer is
218 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
219 #include <core/GP_Context.h>
223 GP_Context *GP_SubContext(const GP_Context *context, GP_Context *subcontext,
224 GP_Coord x, GP_Coord y, GP_Size w, GP_Size h);
226 GP_Context *GP_SubContextAlloc(const GP_Context *context,
227 GP_Coord x, GP_Coord y, GP_Size w, GP_Size h);
228 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
230 Creates subcontext of a context. The rectangular area must fit into the context.
232 The 'GP_SubContext()' function initializes the passed pointer as a subcontext
233 of a context and returns pointer to initialized subcontext (i.e. the same
234 pointer you passed as the subcontext parameter).
236 The 'GP_SubContextAlloc()' function allocates 'GP_Context' structure and
237 initializes it as a subcontext. This function may return NULL in case of
238 'malloc()' failure and the newly created context should be later freed with
245 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
246 #include <core/GP_Context.h>
250 GP_Context *GP_ContextConvertAlloc(const GP_Context *src,
251 GP_PixelType dst_pixel_type);
253 GP_Context *GP_ContextConvert(const GP_Context *src, GP_Context *dst);
255 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
257 Converts a context to different pixel type.
259 This is naive implementation that only multiplies/divides the pixel values.
261 To get a better result use dithering filters instead.
267 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
268 #include <core/GP_Context.h>
272 void GP_ContextPrintInfo(const GP_Context *self);
273 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
275 This function prints the content of 'GP_Context' structure, in a readable
276 format, into the stdout.
