\chapter{The GRAPH unit.}
This document describes the \textbf{GRAPH} unit for Free Pascal. This unit includes
more then 50 graphics routines, that range from low-level calls such as putpixel
to high level calls like Circle and Bar3D. Different fill styles and line
patterns are supported in most of the routines.

\section{Overview}
\label{se:Overview}

\subsection{Compatibility}
Since the graph unit included with \var{fpc} is a portable implementation of
the Turbo Pascal unit, there are some slight differences between the video
modes and features.

\subsubsection{Initialization}

Each graph unit implementation, will have a 320x200 resolution refered to
\textit{LowResolution}. If the hardware for the specific platform does
not support that resolution, then it will have to be emulated. Apart
from that requirement, all other resolutions will be dependant on the
target platform.

The correct way and portable way to initialize to graphics subsystem, is
to first query the hardware, and then from that, decide which mode you
wish to support. The routine which does this is called \textit{QueryAdapterInfo}.
This routine returns a linked list of modes availables, and their
mode number as well as driver numbers. It is to note that this list is
initialized only once during the lifetime of the application (that is,
even if CloseGraph is called, the list will still be valid). The memory
allocated for this list is automatically freed as part as the graph
unit's exit procedure.

You can always use Detect as a parameter to \textit{InitGraph}
which will initialize the graphics to the highest resolution possible.

The following constants are also defined for compatiblity with older
applications written with Turbo Pascal, they should no longer be used:

\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|}
\hline
 Driver Name & Constant Name & Column x Row & Colors \\ \hline
 VGA & VGAHi & 640x480 & 16 \\
 VGA & VGALo & 640x200 & 16 \\
 VGA & VGAMed & 640x350 & 16 \\
 VGA & VGA256 & 320x200 & 256 \\
\hline
\end{tabular}

\subsubsection{Other differences}

Some notable differences with the Turbo Pascal graph unit are noted
below:

\begin{itemize}
\item \textit{Rectangle} do not write
  the end points twice, which permits the XORPut write mode to be used
  effectively for erasing these forms on the screen.
\item \textit{RegisterBGIDriver} and \textit{InstallUserDriver} always
  return errors, as they are not directly supported.
\item \textit{DrawPoly} XORPut write mode does not have the same behaviour
 as the one in the Turbo Pascal graph unit.
\item XORPut write mode is not supported by \textit{Bar3d}.
\item Passing invalid parameters to \textit{SetTextStyle} will not
  result in the same visual appearance. Make sure your input is valid.
\item All routines using sines/cosines (e.g: \textit{circle}), don't
 exactly have the same radii, because the aspect ratio correction is
 different.
\item PutImage supports clipping.
\item \textit{SetRGBPalette} use the LSB's of the RGB components to
set the color values of the palette. This makes the unit more portable.
\item \textit{PaletteType} is different then the Turbo Pascal version,
  it uses RGB Values for the palettes.
\item \textit{SetAllPalette} is different then the Turbo Pascal version,
  it uses the PaletteType as a parameter.
\item \textit{GetDefaultPalette} only returns only at most the 256 first
  default entries of a palette, even if the mode supports more then
  256 colors.
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Coordinate system}
The upper left of the graphics screen is located at position (0,0). The x
value, which represents the column, increments to the right. The y values,
or rows, increment downward. The maximum value which can be set for an x
value, for the graphics screen is given by the \textit{GetMaxX} routine.
The same is true for the y coordinate, except a call to \textit{GetMaxY}
is required.

\subsection{Current pointer}
Some graphics routines support the concept of the current pointer (CP). The
current pointer is similar in concept to a text cursor, except that it is
invisible.

When you write in text mode, the text cursor is automatically incremented
by the number of characters written. The same is true with the graphics
current pointer, which is instead incremented on a pixel basis.

For example, the following:
\begin{verbatim}

   MoveTo(0,0);
   LineTo(100,100);

\end{verbatim}

will leave the current pointer to the (100,100) coordinate pair. The
pixels might not be drawn depending on your clipping settings, but the
CP is never clipped to clipping boundaries.

The following routines set the CP to the new position:

\begin{itemize}
\item \textit{ClearDevice}
\item \textit{ClearViewPort}
\item \textit{GraphDefaults}
\item \textit{InitGraph}
\item \textit{LineRel}
\item \textit{LineTo}
\item \textit{MoveRel}
\item \textit{MoveTo}
\item \textit{OutText}
\item \textit{SetGraphMode}
\item \textit{SetViewPort}
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Error handling}

There is only basic error checking in the graph unit. To get the value of
the last error returned by a graphics driver call, call the
\textit{GraphResult} routine. The following routines can set error codes,
others don't :

\begin{itemize}
\item \textit{Bar}                      --- ok
\item \textit{Bar3D}                    --- ok
\item \textit{ClearViewPort}
\item \textit{CloseGraph}               --- ok
\item \textit{DetectGraph}              --- ok
\item \textit{DrawPoly}                 --- ok
\item \textit{FillPoly}                 --- ok
\item \textit{FloodFill}                --- ok
\item \textit{GetModeName}              --- ok
\item \textit{GetRGBPalette}            --- ok
\item \textit{InitGraph}                --- ok
\item \textit{InstallUserDriver}        --- ok
\item \textit{InstallUserFont}          --- ok
\item \textit{PieSlice}
\item \textit{RegisterBGIDriver}         --- ok
\item \textit{RegisterBGIFont}           --- ok
\item \textit{SetAllPalette}             --- ok
\item \textit{SetFillPattern}            --- ok
\item \textit{SetFillStyle}              --- ok
\item \textit{SetGraphBufSize}
\item \textit{SetGraphMode}
\item \textit{SetLineStyle}                --- ok
\item \textit{SetPalette}                 --- ok
\item \textit{SetRGBPalette}              --- ok
\item \textit{SetTextJustify}             --- ok
\item \textit{SetTextStyle}               --- ok
\item \textit{SetViewPort}                 --- ok
\end{itemize}

\textit{GraphResult} is reset to zero after it has been called. Therefore
the user should store the value returned by this function into a temporary
variable and then use it.

\subsection{Write modes}

Write modes permits combining colors with already existing on-screen colors,
\textit{PutImage} supports several write modes, while most other routines
support only CopyPut/NormalPut and XORPut modes.

The following routines support XORPut write modes (all routines support
CopyPut modes):

\begin{itemize}
\item \textit{FillEllipse}
\item \textit{FillPoly}
\item \textit{Arc} with ThickWidth line styles only
\item \textit{Circle} with ThickWidth line styles only
\item \textit{Line}
\item \textit{LineRel}
\item \textit{LineTo}
\item \textit{Rectangle}
\item \textit{DrawPoly}
\end{itemize}

\subsection{Text}
An internal bitmap font is included with this implementation of the graph
unit. It also possible to load and use standard Borland CHR external
vectorized font files. A bitmapped font is defined in this case by
a matrix of 8x8 pixels. A vector font (also referred to as a stroked font)
is defined by a series of vectors that tell the graphics system how to draw
the font.

\subsection{Clipping and Viewports}

\textit{SetViewPort} makes all output commands operate in a rectangular
region of the screen. Most output routines are viewport relative until
the viewport is changed. If clipping is active, all graphics is output
is clipped to the current region.

There is always clipping to the screen boundaries, whatever the clipping
setting is.

\subsection{Internals}

To make porting to a new platform easier, some of the graph unit routines
have been designed using procedural variables. Some of the routines have
default hooks, while others must absolutely be implemented for every new
platform to make the graph unit work.

The following routines must be created for every new platform supported:

\begin{itemize}
\item \textit{CloseGraph}
\item \textit{DirectPutPixel}
\item \textit{PutPixel}
\item \textit{GetPixel}
\item \textit{InitMode}
\item \textit{SaveVideoState}
\item \textit{RestoreVideoState}
\item \textit{QueryAdapterInfo}
\item \textit{SetRGBPalette}
\item \textit{GetRGBPalette}
\end{itemize}

The following global variables must be setup for every new platform
supported:
 InternalDriverName

\var{InternalDriverName}

This variable should be set to a string describing the platform driver
name. It is returned by the user function GetDriverName. Some examples
of driver names are 'DosGX', 'DirectX', 'QuickDrw','CyberGFX', 'Dive'.




\var{CloseGraph}

The CloseGraph routine is called directly by the user and must
do the necessary cleanup by freeing up all platform specific
memory allocations, and by calling RestoreVideoState.

\var{DirectPutPixel}

This routine is one of the most important callback routines with
PutPixel, it is called by most of the routines in the graph unit. It
is about the same as PutPixel except that the coordinates passed to
it are already in global (screen) coordinates, and that clipping has
already been performed. Note that the current WriteMode has to be taken
into account in this procedure.

\var{InitMode}

This callback routine is called by SetGraphMode to actualliy change to
the correct video mode. (SetGraphMode is called by InitGraph).

\var{SaveVideoState}

This routine is called by InitGraph before changing to the graphics video
mode, it should save the old video mode, save any internal video state
such as the palette entries.

\var{RestoreVideoState}

This routine should be called by CloseGraph, it should restore the video
mode to the one saved in SaveVideoState, and restore all appropriate video
information, so that the video is in the same state as it was when
SaveVideoState was called.

\var{QueryAdapterInfo}

This routine might be called by the user BEFORE we are in graphics
mode. It is called by the initialization code of the graph unit. It
creates a linked list of video capabilities and procedural hooks for
all supported video modes on the platform. Look at the DOS version,
to see how it works. This linked list can be read by the user before a
call to InitGraph to determine which mode to use.

The linked list is composed of mode information, as well to pointers
to the callback routines cited above. Some additional optional hooks
are also possible for those who wish to optimize the speed of the unit.


-------------------------------------------------------------
\begin{function}{GetModeName}
\Declaration
Function GetModeName (ModeNumber : smallint) : ShortString;

\Description

Returns a string with the name of the specified graphics mode. The
return values are in the form, XRes x YRes NAME. This function is
useful for building menus, display status, and so forth.

\Errors
If the specified \var{ModeNumber} is invalid, the function returns an
empty string and sets GraphResult to grInvalidMode.
\SeeAlso
\seef{GetDriverName}, \seep{GetModeRange}, \seep{GetMaxMode}
\end{function}
------------------------
\begin{procedure}{SetAllPalette}
\Declaration
Procedure SetAllPalette(var Palette: PaletteType) ;
\Description
\var{Palette} is of type PaletteType. The first field in Palette
contains the length of the palette. The next \textit{n} fields of
type \var{RGBRec} contains the Red-Green-Blue components to replace
that specific color with. A value of -1 will not change the previous
entry's value.

Note that valid colors depend on the current graphics mode.

If the number of palette entries to replace is greater then the
number of colors possible on the screen, \var{GraphResult} returns
a value of \var{grError} and no changes to the palette settings will
occur.

Changes to the palette take effect immediately on the screen. Each time
a palette color is changed, that color will be changed to the new color
value.

This routine returns \var{grError} if called in a direct color mode.

\Errors
None.
\SeeAlso
\seep{SetRGBPalette}, \seep{SetPalette}
\end{procedure}
------------------------

------------------------
\begin{procedure}{GetDefaultPalette}
\Declaration
Procedure GetDefaultPalette (Var Palette : PaletteType);

\Description
Returns a \var{PaletteType} record containing the default RGB color
values when the graphics mode is initialized. These values are based
on the IBM-PC VGA hardware adapter, but do not change from platform
to platform.

On other platforms the colors may not exactly match those
on the IBM-PC, but the match should be close enough for most uses. This
value is static and does never change.

Even if the modes can support more then 256 color entries, only the
256 first colors can be considered as having default values. Therefore,
at most this function will return 256 entries. To query all colors over
256 yourself, use \var{GetRGBPalette} for the entire palette range.

\Errors
None.
\SeeAlso
\seef{GetColor}, \seef{GetBkColor}, \seep{GetRGBPalette}
\end{procedure}


------------------------
\begin{procedure}{GetPalette}
\Declaration
Procedure GetPalette (Var Palette : PaletteType);

\Description
\var{GetPalette} returns in \var{Palette} the current palette. The palette
is in LSB RGB format.

This routine returns \var{grError} if called in a direct color mode.

\Errors
None.

\end{procedure}
---------------------------
---------------------------
\begin{function}{GetBkColor}
\Declaration
Function GetBkColor  : Word;

\Description
\var{GetBkColor} returns the current background color. If in non direct color
mode, this returns the palette entry, otherwise it returns the direct
RGB value of the current drawing color.
\Errors
None.
\SeeAlso
\seef{GetColor},\seep{SetBkColor}
\end{function}
---------------------------
\begin{function}{GetColor}
\Declaration
Function GetColor  : Word;

\Description
\var{GetColor} returns the current drawing color. If in non direct color
mode, this returns the palette entry, otherwise it returns the direct
RGB value of the current drawing color.
\Errors
None.

\end{function}
---------------------------
\begin{procedure}{GetRGBPalette}
\Declaration
Procedure GetRGBPalette (ColorNum: intege; var Red,Green,Blue : smallint);

\Description
\var{GetRGBPalette} gets the \var{ColorNum}-th entry in the palette.
The Red , Green and Blue values returned arein LSB format.
If the palette entry could not be read for a reason,
the routine returns \var{grError}.

This routine returns \var{grError} if called in a direct color mode.

\Errors
None.
\SeeAlso
\seep{SetAllPallette},
\seep{SetPalette}
\seep{SetRGBPalette}
\end{procedure}

----------------------------
----------------------------
\begin{procedure}{SetDirectVideo}
\Declaration
Procedure SetDirectVideo (DirectAccess : boolean);

\Description
Determines how the video access should be done, if DirectAccess
is set to TRUE then access will be done directly to video memory, if
it is supported, otherwise Operating systems calls will be done to
access the video memory.

The behaviour of this routine depends on the platform, and is required
for example to use the graph unit under older multitaskers such as
Desqview (DOS platform). Certain modes re simply not supported
via Operating system calls, while others are only supported by the
operating system. In those cases this routine is simply ignored.

Using operating system calls to plot pixels is much slower then using
the direct mode, but it provides more compatibility.

\textbf{Platform specific}
Windows NT, OS/2, Windows '9x, Windows 3.x, Linux DOSEMU support
all \textit{standard} video DOS modes, even in DirectVideo mode.
Others, like Desqview, Topview, DoubleDOS and MultiDOS might not.
In that case, \vaR{SetDirectVideo} should be called and set to FALSE.

VESA modes are not considered as standard DOS video modes,
and should simply not be used under such multitaskers/emulators.

Mode-X is not considered a standard DOS mode, but is supported in
most modern operating systems, since it uses only standard VGA
I/O ports and memory. (Exception: older multitaskers such as Desqview).

NOT IMPLEMENTED YET.


\Errors
None.

\seef{GetDirectVideo}
\end{procedure}

----------------------------
\begin{function}{GetDirectVideo}
\Declaration
Function GetDirectVideo : boolean;

\Description
Returns the state of the of DirectAccess flag. If this value returns
TRUE, then in the case where it is possible, the video memory is directly
accessed to plot graphics points, otherwise operating system calls
are used.


\Errors
None.

\subsection{Types}
\begin{verbatim}
ArcCoordsType = record

end;
FillPatternType = Array [1..8] of Byte;
FillSettingsType = Record
 Pattern,Color : Word

end;
\end{verbatim}

\begin{verbatim}
PaletteType = Record
 Size : longint;
 Colors : array[0..MaxColors] of RGBRec;
end;
\end{verbatim}

This record is used by \textit{SetAllPalette} , \textit{GetPalette} and
\textit{GetDefaultPalette}. \textit{Size} indicated the number of RGB
entries in this record, followed by the RGB records for each color. It
is to note, that contrary to Turbo Pascal, the RGB components are in
the LSB's of the RGB component records. This makes easier compatibility
across different hardware platforms.

\Description
\var{GetImage}
Places a copy of the screen area \var{(X1,Y1)} to \var{X2,Y2} in \var{BitMap}.
\var{Bitmap} is an untyped parameter that must be equal to 12 plus the size
of the screen area to save. The first two longints of \var{Bitmap} store
the width and height of the region. The third longint is reserved and should
not be modified.

To make access to the screen faster, it is recommended that the starting
points and ending point coordinates be modulo 4 and that the width to
save be also modulo 4.

To get the size of the bitmap required to save the area, you should call
\var{ImageSize}.

\begin{procedure}{InitGraph}
\Declaration
Procedure InitGraph (var GraphDriver,GraphModus : smallint;\\
const PathToDriver : ShortString);

\Description

\var{InitGraph} initializes the \var{graph} package.

\var{GraphDriver} has two valid values: \var{GraphDriver=Detect} which
performs an auto detect and initializes the highest possible mode with the most
colors. This is dependant on the platform, and many of the non-standard
modes amy not be detected automatically. \var{graphMode} is the mode you
wish to use.

\var{PathToDriver} is only needed, if you use the BGI fonts from
Borland, which are fully supported under FPC.

The exact rundown of \var{InitGraph} is as follows: First it calls
\var{QueryAdapterInfo} to get the possible modes supported by the hardware.
It then saves the video state, initalizes some global variables, then if
auto-detection was requested, calls \var{GetModeRange} to get the highest
possible mode available and supported, otherwise it searches if the requested
mode is available in the database. Finally , in either case it calls
\var{SetGraphMode}.

If the requested driver or mode is invalid, this function returns either
\var{grError} or \var{grInvalidMode}.

Before calling this function, you should call QueryAdapterInfo, and
go through the list of supported modes to determine which mode suites
your needs. As stated in the introduction, each graph unit implementation
should support a 320x200 color mode.

\Errors
None.

\Description
\var{SetTextJustify} controls the placement of new text, relative to the
(graphical) cursor position. \var{Horiz} controls horizontal placement, and can be
one of the following pre-defined constants:
\begin{itemize}
\item \var{LeftText=0;} Text is set left of the current pointer.
\item \var{CenterText=1;} Text is set centered horizontally on the current pointer.
\item \var{RightText=2;} Text is set to the right of the current pointer.
\end{itemize}
\var{Vertical} controls the vertical placement of the text, relative to the
(graphical) cursor position. Its value can be one of the following
pre-defined constants :
\begin{itemize}
\item \var{BottomText=0;} Text is placed under the current pointer.
\item \var{CenterText=1;} Text is placed centered vertically on the current pointer.
\item \var{TopText=2;}Text is placed above the current pointer.
\end{itemize}

If invalid input is passed \var{SetTextJustify} , \var{GraphResult} returns
\var{grError}.

\Errors
None.

\begin{procedure}{SetTextStyle}
\Declaration
Procedure SetTextStyle (Font,Direction,Magnitude : Word);

\Description
\var{SetTextStyle} controls the style of text to be put on the screen.
pre-defined constants for \var{Font} are:
\begin{itemize}
\item \var{DefaultFont=0;}
\item \var{TriplexFont=2;}
\item \var{SmallFont=2;}
\item \var{SansSerifFont=3;}
\item \var{GothicFont=4;}
\end{itemize}


Pre-defined constants for \var{Direction} are :
\begin{itemize}
\item \var{HorizDir=0;}
\item \var{VertDir=1;}
\end{itemize}

Charsize indicated the magnification factor to use when drawing the fonts
to the screen. When using the default internal font, this value can be
any value equal or greater to one. In the case of stroked fonts, the
value should always be equal or greater then 4.

Stroked fonts are usually loaded from disk once onto the heap when a call
is made to \var{SetTextStyle}.

If there is an error when using this routine, \var{GraphResult} might return
\var{grFontNotFound}, \var{grNoFontMem}, \var{grError}, \var{grIoError},
\var{grInvalidFont}, or \var{grInvalidFontNum}.

\Errors
None.

\begin{procedure}{SetViewPort}
\Declaration
Procedure SetViewPort (X1,Y1,X2,Y2 : smallint; Clip : Boolean);

\Description
Sets the current graphical view-port (window) to the rectangle defined by
the top-left corner \var{(X1,Y1)} and the bottom-right corner \var{(X2,Y2)}.
If \var{Clip} is true, anything drawn outside the view-port (window) will be
clipped (i.e. not drawn). Coordinates specified after this call are relative
to the top-left corner of the view-port.
\Errors
None.

\begin{procedure}{SetWriteMode}
\Declaration
Procedure SetWriteMode (Mode : smallint);

\Description
\var{SetWriteMode} controls the drawing of lines on the screen. It controls
the binary operation used when drawing lines on the screen. \var{Mode} can
be one of the following pre-defined constants:
\begin{itemize}
\item CopyPut=0;
\item XORPut=1;
\end{itemize}

If you specify another mode, it is mapped to one of the above acoording to
the following table (for TP compatibility, may be changed in the future):
\begin{itemize}
\item Notput, Orput: CopyPut
\item AndPut: XorPut
\end{itemize}
