<a name="intro"><h2>Introduction</h2></a>

<p>
This is a combination of tutorial and reference guide for writing new device
layers for <tt>libwmf</tt>.
</p>
<p>
Since no two graphics interfaces are identical, the task of the <b>IPA</b>
(the interface between the interpreter and the device layer) is to simplify the
task of translating the metafile drawing commands. (It cannot be denied that
there is still considerable room for improvement.)
</p>
<p>
When writing a new device layer you will need to include the following headers:
</p>
<font color=blue>
<pre>
#include &#60;libwmf/ipa.h&#62;
#include &#60;libwmf/defs.h&#62;
</pre>
</font>
<p>
The former includes the <b>API</b> declarations as well as the <b>IPA</b>
declarations, while the latter defines metafile constants.

<pre>
typedef struct _wmfRGB wmfRGB;

struct _wmfRGB
{	unsigned char r;
	unsigned char g;
	unsigned char b;
};
</pre>
</font>
<p>
<tt>wmfRGB</tt> describes a color, with <tt>r = g = b = 255</tt> corresponding
to <i>white</i> and <tt>r = g = b = 0</tt> corresponding to <i>black</i>.
</p>

<pre>
typedef struct _wmfBMP wmfBMP;

struct _wmfBMP
{	U16 width;
	U16 height;

	void* data;
};
</pre>
</font>
<p>
Container for a bitmap, of dimensions <tt>width</tt> and <tt>height</tt>.
If non-zero, <tt>data</tt> is a pointer to an internal representation of the
bitmap. The interpreter does not reference <tt>data</tt> and will not attempt
to draw a bitmap if <tt>data</tt> is zero; however, a bitmap brush pattern
may be set even though <tt>data</tt> is zero. (<tt>data=0</tt> indicates
either that the device layer has no support for bitmaps or that the bitmap
is corrupt or unreadable.)
</p>

<li><a name="Brush"><b>wmfBrush</b></a>
<font color=blue>
<pre>
typedef struct _wmfBrush wmfBrush;

</pre>
</font>
<p>
<tt>wmfBrush</tt> is one element of the current drawing context.
<tt>lbStyle</tt> is one of the following:
</p>
<font color=blue>
<pre>
/* Brush Styles */
#define BS_SOLID            0

#define BS_PATTERN8X8       7
#define BS_DIBPATTERN8X8    8
</pre>
</font>
<p>
where <tt>BS_NULL</tt> indicates that no brush is set. If
<tt>lbStyle=BS_HATCHED</tt> then the brush has the pattern, specified by
<tt>lbHatch</tt> which is one of:
</p>
<font color=blue>
<pre>
/* Hatch Styles */
#define HS_HORIZONTAL       0       /* ----- */

#define HS_DIAGCROSS        5       /* xxxxx */
</pre>
</font>
<p>
If <tt>lbStyle=BS_HATCHED</tt> or <tt>lbStyle=BS_SOLID</tt> then the foreground
color of the brush is <tt>lbColor</tt>. Otherwise, if the brush is a bitmap,
ensure that <tt>bmp.data</tt> is non-zero.

There are two ways to read a bitmap presented by <tt>libwmf</tt>: the first is
to read it directly from the input stream using the internal stream functions:

<pre>
/* Macro-wrappers for stream functions:
 * (int)  WMF_READ ((wmfAPI*) API)                 - returns unsigned char cast to int, or EOF

 * (long) WMF_TELL ((wmfAPI*) API)                 - returns (-1) on error, else current position
 */
</pre>
</font>
where the bitmap starts at offset <tt>offset</tt>; the second (which is
preferred) is to use the buffer <tt>buffer</tt> of length <tt>length</tt>.
</p>
<p>
To complicate matters, the bitmap's data may be truncated so that the bitmap's
header is incorrect - <tt>width</tt> and <tt>height</tt> give the <i>real</i>
dimensions of the bitmap.
</p>
<p>
The bitmap's width and height should be entered into <tt>bmp</tt> (see
<a href="#BMP">wmfBMP</a> above) as well as a pointer to the bitmap data (which
can be in any format you choose; the library does not need to know).

crop or scale the bitmap. Instead the crop data are presented to the device

referenced by <tt>bmp</tt> (see <a href="#BMP">wmfBMP</a> above) is to be drawn
at point <tt>pt</tt>.

Fonts and text are <i>triiicky</i>! Fortunately <tt>libwmf</tt> tries to do
most of the work. As such text justification is taken care of by the
interpreter, and fonts (<b>bold</b>, <i>italic</i>, etc.) are selected
elsewhere. The emphasis with <tt>wmfDrawText_t</tt> is therefore the rendering
of text.
</p>
<p>
The text can be assumed to be left-justified, starting at point <tt>pt</tt>.
<tt>TL</tt> and <tt>BR</tt> are the corners of a clip rectangle. <tt>bbox</tt>
gives four corners of rectangle - an <i>estimate</i> of the background zone.
<tt>str</tt> is the text to draw; <tt>font_height</tt> is the height of the
font and <tt>font_ratio</tt> is how much to stretch the font width-wise. The
values for <tt>flags</tt> are:

Let us assume that you are writing a device layer called <i>mydev</i>, then the

The function reference has the following definition:
<font color=blue>
<pre>
typedef struct _wmfFunctionReference wmfFunctionReference;

struct _wmfFunctionReference

The initialization function has two purposes, the first being to establish the
links that create the <b>IPA</b> by pointing the function reference variables
to your own drawing functions:

<font color=blue>

	/* */
}

void wmf_<i>mydev</i>_device_open (wmfAPI* API)
{	/* */
}

/* etc. */
</pre>

<p>
The second purpose of the initialization function is to allocate the device's
data structure, set the device parameters to default values if necessary, and
then to attach the data to the <tt>API->device_data</tt> hook.

<p>
The <b>IPA</b> functions are called by <tt>wmf_play ()</tt>, the only exception

and then only if <tt>device_open</tt> has been called by <tt>wmf_play ()</tt>.

called, just as <tt>device_close</tt> will be the very last.
</p>
<p>
At the beginning of each <i>play</i> cycle (i.e., each call to
<tt>wmf_play ()</tt>) <tt>device_begin</tt> is called (after
<tt>device_open</tt> if it is the first cycle), and at the end of each cycle
<tt>device_end</tt> is called. The metafile graphics use other <b>IPA</b>
functions.
</p>
<p>
<tt>device_open</tt>, <tt>device_begin</tt>, <tt>device_end</tt> and
<tt>device_close</tt> <i>should</i> be written so that <tt>wmf_play ()</tt> can

The section applies only if you are working on the <tt>libwmf</tt> sources.

The build system uses <b>automake</b> and <b>autoconf</b>. If any changes are
made to any of the various <tt>Makefile.am</tt> files, or to
<tt>configure.in</tt> or <tt>libwmf.m4</tt>, then the build system will need to
be updated. Change to the top source directory (containing

<font color=blue>

# aclocal

</pre>
</font>
<p>
When adding a new device layer, <tt>include/libwmf/Makefile.am</tt> and
<tt>src/ipa/Makefile.am</tt> will need to be modifiled. Source files
(<tt>src/ipa/new.c</tt>) and installing header files
(<tt>include/libwmf/new.h</tt>) do not need to be added to the distribution,
but other headers (<tt>src/ipa/new.h</tt> &amp; <tt>src/ipa/new/*.h</tt>) will.
