Synopsis

ULONG AddDisplayDriverA(
         APTR gfxclass,
         const struct TagItem * attrs,
         const struct TagItem * tags );

ULONG AddDisplayDriver(
         APTR gfxclass,
         const struct TagItem * attrs,
         TAG tag, ... );

Function

Add a display driver to the system.

Inputs

gfxhidd - A pointer to an OOP class of the display driver
attrs   - Additional attributes to supply to the driver class during
          object creation
tags    - An optional TagList describing how graphics.library should
    handle the driver. Valid tags are:

    DDRV_BootMode     - A boolean value telling that a boot mode
                        driver is being added. Boot mode drivers
                        will automatically shut down on next
                        AddDisplayDriverA() call, unless
                        DDRV_KeepBootMode = TRUE is specified.
                        Defaults to FALSE.
    DDRV_MonitorID    - Starting monitor ID to assign to the driver.
                        Use it with care. An attempt to add already
                        existing ID will fail with a DD_ID_EXISTS
                        code. By default the next available ID will
                        be picked up automatically.
    DDRV_ReserveIDs   - The number of subsequent monitor IDs to
                        reserve. Reserved IDs can be reused only
                        with DDRV_MonitorID tag. This tag is
                        provided as an aid to support possible
                        removable display devices. Defaults to 1.
    DDRV_KeepBootMode - Do not shut down boot mode drivers. Use this
                        tag if you are 100% sure that your driver
                        won't conflict with boot mode driver (like
                        VGA or VESA) and won't attempt to take over
                        its hardware. Defaults to FALSE.
    DDRV_ResultID     - A pointer to a ULONG location where the ID
                        assigned to your driver will be placed.
                        Useful if you reserve some ID for future use.
                        Note that the returned ID will be the one
                        just assigned to your driver instance.
                        Increment it yourself in order to obtain
                        other reserved IDs.
    DDRV_IDMask       - A mask for separating the monitor ID from the
                        HIDD-specific part. This mask specifies what
                        mode ID bits are the monitor ID and what bits
                        actually specify the mode. The default value
                        is 0xFFFF0000.

                        Using the mask you can split your monitor ID
                        into 'sub-Ids'. Example:

                        Supplied tags: DDRV_IDMask, 0xFFFFFF00,
                                       DDRV_ResultID, &myid

                        After a successful call, myid will contain the
                        base ID assigned by graphics.library to your
                        driver, let's say 0x00140000. However, since
                        you specified a longer mask, you leave only
                        one byte for mode designation, and reserve
                        the whole range of IDs from 0x001400xx to
                        0x0014FFxx for different instances of your
                        driver. They can now be used by specifying
                        DDRV_MonitorID with corresponding value.

                        Note that for this feature to work correctly,
                        you also need to override ID processing in
                        your driver class. Default methods provided
                        by the hidd.graphics.graphics base class
                        suppose that the whole lower word of the mode
                        ID specifies the display mode.

                        It is generally not allowed to specify
                        shorter masks than 0xFFFF0000. The only
                        driver which can do this is the Amiga(TM)
                        chipset driver, which needs to occupy the
                        reserved range of IDs from 0x0000xxxx to
                        0x000Axxxx. In any other case, supplying a
                        short mask will cause undefined behavior.

                        Since DDRV_ReserveIDs provides a simpler way
                        to reserve IDs for your driver (without the
                        need to override mode ID processing), this
                        option can be considered experimental and
                        even private. In fact the primary reason for
                        it to exist is to provide support for
                        Amiga(tm) chipset driver.

Result

error - One of following codes:

    DD_OK           - Operation completed OK.
    DD_NO_MEM       - There is not enough memory to set up internal
                      data.
    DD_ID_EXISTS    - Attempt to assign monitor IDs that are already
                      used.
    DD_IN_USE       - One of boot-mode drivers is in use and cannot
                      be shut down.
    DD_DRIVER_ERROR - Failure to create driver object.

Synopsis

struct BitMap * AllocBitMap(
         UWORD sizex,
         UWORD sizey,
         ULONG depth,
         ULONG flags,
         struct BitMap * friend_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, sizey - The width and height in pixels

depth - The depth of the bitmap. A depth of 1 will allocate a
    bitmap for two colors, a depth of 24 will allocate a bitmap for
    16 million colors. Pixels with AT LEAST this many bits will be
    allocated.

flags - One of these flags:

    BMF_CLEAR: Fill the bitmap 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.
        Note that it may be not enough to specify only this flag
        to make the bitmap really displayable. See "INTERNALS"
        section below.

    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.

    BMF_SPECIALFMT: causes graphics to allocate a bitmap
        of a standard CyberGraphX format. The format
        (PIXFMT_????) must be stored in the 8 most significant bits.

    BMF_RTGTAGS,
    BMF_RTGCHECK,
    BMF_FRIENDSTAG: Setting these flags to 1's while BMF_SPECIALFMT
        and BMF_INVALID are set to 0 means that friend_bitmap
        points to a taglist instead of BitMap structure.

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.

    This pointer can also point to a TagList, if specified by flags.
    In this case it may contain the following tags:

      - BMATags_Friend (struct BitMap *)
            An actual pointer to friend bitmap. Defaults to NULL.

      - BMATags_Depth (ULONG)
            Depth of the bitmap to create. Defaults to depth argument
            of AllocBitMap().

      - BMATags_Clear (BOOL)
            Tells if the newly created bitmap should be explicitly
            cleared. Defaults to the value of BMF_CLEAR flag in
            AllocBitMap() arguments.

      - BMATags_Displayable (BOOL)
            Tells if the bitmap should be displayable by the hardware.
            Defaults to the value of BMF_DISPLAYABLE flag in AllocBitMap()
            arguments.

      - BMATags_NoMemory (BOOL)
            Tells AllocBitMap() not to allocate actual bitmap storage. Only
            header is allocated and set up. Default value is FALSE.

      - BMATags_DisplayID (ULONG)
            Allocate a displayable bitmap for specified display mode.

Result

A pointer to the new bitmap.

Notes

When allocating using a friend_bitmap bitmap, it is not safe to assume
anything about the structure of the bitmap data if that friend_bitmap
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_bitmap of this bitmap.

    blitting from this bitmap to a friend_bitmap 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.

When allocating a displayable bitmap, make sure that its size is
within limits allowed by the display driver. Use GetDisplayInfoData()
with DTAG_DIMS in order to obtain the needed information.

Bugs

There is still a problem when some polygons are filled that
pixels are missing. This could be due to the way lines are
drawn. All lines should be drawn from lower
y coordinates to higher y coordinates since this is the
way the algorithm calculates lines here. For example, it
might make a difference whether a line is drawn from lower
to higher y coordinates. Examples for two same lines with
different layout:

     ****              *****
*****              ****

Synopsis

void BitMapScale(
         struct BitScaleArgs * bitScaleArgs );

Function

Scale a source bit map to a destination bit map other than
the source bit map.

Inputs

Pass a BitScaleArgs structure filled with the following arguments
to this function:
  bsa_SrcX, bsa_SrcY - upper left coordinate in source bitmap
  bsa_SrcWidth, bsa_SrcHeight - Width and Height of source bitmap
  bsa_DestX, bsa_DestY - upper left coordinate in destination
                         bitmap
  bsa_DestWidth, bsa_DestHeight - this function will set these
        values. Use the bsa_???Factor for scaling
  bsa_XSrcFactor:bsa_XDestFactor - Set these to get approximately
        the same ratio as bsa_SrcWidth:bsa_DestWidth, but
        usually not exactly the same number.
  bsa_YSrcFactor:bsa_YDestFactor - Set these to get approximately
        the same ratio as bsa_SrcHeight:DestHeight, but
        usually not exactly the same number.
  bsa_SrcBitMap - pointer to source bitmap to be scaled
  bsa_DestBitMap - pointer to destination bitmap which will
                   hold the scaled bitmap. Make sure it's
                   big enough!
  bsa_Flags - reserved for future use. Set it to zero!
  bsa_XDDA, bsa_YDDA - for future use.
  bsa_Reserved1, bsa_Reserved2 - for future use.

Result

bsa_DestWidth and bsa_DestHeight will be set by this function

Notes

- Overlapping source and destination bitmaps are not supported
- Make sure that you provide enough memory for the destination
  bitmap to hold the result
- In the destination bitmap only the area where the scaled
  source bitmap is put into is changed. A frame of the old
  bitmap is left.

Synopsis

LONG BltBitMap(
         struct BitMap * srcBitMap,
         LONG xSrc,
         LONG ySrc,
         struct BitMap * destBitMap,
         LONG xDest,
         LONG yDest,
         LONG xSize,
         LONG ySize,
         ULONG minterm,
         ULONG mask,
         PLANEPTR tempA );

Function

Moves a part of a bitmap around or into another bitmap.

Inputs

srcBitMap - Copy from this bitmap.
xSrc, ySrc - This is the upper left corner of the area to copy.
destBitMap - Copy to this bitmap. May be the same as srcBitMap.
xDest, yDest - Upper left corner where to place the copy
xSize, ySize - The size of the area to copy
minterm - How to copy. Most useful values are 0x00C0 for a vanilla
        copy, 0x0030 to invert the source and then copy or 0x0050
        to ignore the source and just invert the destination. If
        you want to calculate other values, then you must know that
        channel A is set, if you are inside the rectangle, channel
        B is the source and channel C is the destination of the
        rectangle.

        Bit     ABC
         0      000
         1      001
         2      010
         3      011
         4      100
         5      101
         6      110
         7      111

        So 0x00C0 means: D is set if one is inside the rectangle
        (A is set) and B (the source) is set and cleared otherwise.

        To fill the rectangle, you would want to set D when A is
        set, so the value is 0x00F0.

mask - Which planes should be copied. Typically, you should set
        this to ~0L.
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 (i.e. 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.

Result

The number of planes actually involved in the blit.

Notes

If a special hardware is available, this function will use it.

As a special case, plane pointers of destBitMap can contain NULL
or -1, which will act as if the plane was filled with 0's or 1's,
respectively.

Function

Copies the contents of one rastport to another rastport.

If you have a window you should always use this function instead
of BltBitMap().

Inputs

srcRP        - Copy from this RastPort.
xSrc, ySrc   - This is the upper left corner of the area to copy.
destRP       - Copy to this RastPort.
xDest, yDest - Upper left corner where to place the copy
xSize, ySize - The size of the area to copy
minterm - How to copy. Most useful values are 0x00C0 for a vanilla

        So 0x00C0 means: D is set if one is inside the rectangle
        (A is set) and B (the source) is set and cleared otherwise.

        To fill the rectangle, you would want to set D when A is

Synopsis

void LockLayerRom(
         struct Layer * l );

Function

Locks the layer. Returns when the layer is locked for
exclusive use.
This call behaves like when a semaphore is locked. The
same task may lock the same layer several times without
locking itself out. For every call to this function a
call to UnlockLayerRom() has to be made as the calls nest.
This function will also prevent intuition from locking the
layer so the layer should not be blocked too long.
This function does exactly the same as layers/LockLayer()

Inputs

l - pointer to layer that is to be locked

Bugs

Does not save all registers.

to the entire View (physical display) if the ViewPort is NULL.

This function works also with extended sprites, since
struct SimpleSprite is a part of struct ExtSprite.

Inputs

vp     - a ViewPort for relative sprite positioning or NULL
sprite - a pointer to a sprite descriptor structure
x      - a new X coordinate
y      - a new Y coordinate

Result

None.

Notes

AROS currently supports only one sprite #0 for mouse pointer.
Other sprite numbers are ignored by this function.

ViewPort is also used in order to specify the physical display.
If it's not specified, Amiga(tm) chipset display is assumed.
This is available only on Amiga(tm) architecture.

Synopsis

ULONG MrgCop(
         struct View * view );

Function

Prepare the view for being displayed. Calculate necessary internal data.
For Amiga(tm) chipset this function also merges together the display, color, sprite and user
coprocessor instructions into a single coprocessor instruction stream.

Inputs

view - a pointer to the view structure to prepare

Result

error - ULONG error value indicating either lack of memory to build the system data,
                or that MrgCop() has no work to do - ie there where no viewPorts in the list.

Notes

Pre-v39 AmigaOS returns void.

If the given view is already on display, changes appear immediately.

Synopsis

struct Region * NewRegion();

Synopsis

void OwnBlitter();

Function

The blitter is allocated for exclusive use by the calling task.
This function returns immediately if no other task is using
the blitter right now or if no blits are in the queues (QBlit(),
QBSBlit()). Otherwise the function will block until the blitter
can be accessed.
It is good practice to start the blitter immediately after calling
this function and then call DisownBlitter() so other tasks can
use the blitter.

Synopsis

void PolyDraw(
         struct RastPort * rp,
         LONG count,
         WORD            * polyTable );

Function

Draw connected lines from an array. The first line is drawn
from the current pen position to the first entry in the array.

Inputs

rp        - RastPort
count     - number of x,y pairs
polyTable - array of x,y pairs

Notes

Official prototype files declare count as LONG but
original ROM code only uses low 16-bits.

Synopsis

void QBlit(
         struct bltnode * bn );

Function

Queues a request for a blit. This request is queued at the end
of the list.

Inputs

bn - pointer to blitnode structure

Result

The routine that function in the bltnode is pointing to is
called when the blitter is ready for work. No other task will
be able to access the blitter while you're doing the blit.
Queued blits have precedence over a task that tries to own the
blitter via OwnBlitter(). So all queued blitter requests will
be done first until the task that attempts a OwnBlitter can
actually access the blitter.

Notes

Not all hardware has a blitter. On hardware where there is no
blitter, a blitter is simulated. Therefore all code that will
be executed in the function that is called must not contain
code that is hacking the blitter's register but should contain
calls to graphics functions instead.

string - Use this string
strLen - The length of the string
textExtent - The size actually occupied will be returned here
constrainingExtent - If non-NULL, the routine will use the
        dimensions of the box described here
strDirection - In which is the next character. Must be either 1
        or -1. If it is -1, then string must point to the end (the
        first character to check) of the text to fit (this is for
        checking text which runs from right to left).
constrainingBitWidth - If constrainingExtent is NULL, then this
        is the width of the bounding box.
constrainingBitHeight - If constrainingExtent is NULL, then this
        is the height of the bounding box.

Result

The number of characters which fit in the bounding box.
If any characters fit in the bounding box, then textExtent will
tell how large the minimal bounding box for the string is.
