SDL_gfx Library

SDL graphics drawing primitives and other support functions

The SDL_gfx library evolved out of the SDL_gfxPrimitives code which provided basic drawing routines such as lines, circles or polygons and SDL_rotozoom which implemented a interpolating rotozoomer for SDL surfaces.

The current components of the SDL_gfx library are:

Graphic Primitives (SDL_gfxPrimitves.h)
Rotozoomer (SDL_rotozoom.h)
Framerate control (SDL_framerate.h)
MMX image filters (SDL_imageFilter.h)

The library is backwards compatible to the above mentioned code. Its is written in plain C and can be used in C++ code.

Supported Platforms

The library compiles and is tested for a Linux target (gcc compiler) and a Win32 target (VisualC, xmingw32 cross-compiler) as well as BeOS and MacOS X PowerBuilder See README for VC and PowerBuilder compile information. When using the cross-compiler (available on the author's homepage), the build process generates .DLLs. You can use the command line 'LIB.EXE' tool to generate VC6 compatible .LIB files for linking purposes.

Notes on Graphics Primitives

Care has been taken so that all routines are fully alpha-aware and can blend any primitive onto the target surface if ALPHA<255. Surface depths supported are 1,2,3 and 4 bytes per pixel. Surface locking is implemented in each routine and the library should work well with hardware accelerated surfaces. Currently, The following Anti-Aliased drawing primitives are available:

AA-line
AA-circle
AA-ellipse
AA-polygon (not filled)

Notes on Rotozoomer

The rotozoom without interpolation code should be fast enough even for some realtime effects if the CPU is fast or bitmaps small. With interpolation the routines are typically used for pre-rendering stuff in higher quality (i.e. smoothing) - that's also a reason why the API differs from SDL_BlitRect() and creates a new target surface each time rotozoom is called. The final rendering speed is dependent on the target surface size as it is beeing xy-scanned when rendering the new surface.

Note also that the smoothing toggle is dependent on the input surface bit depth. 8bit surfaces will never be smoothed - only 32bit surfaces will.

Note that surfaces of other bit depth then 8 and 32 will be converted on the fly to a 32bit surface using a blit into a temporary surface. This impacts performance somewhat.

[[[ Interface ]]]


SDL_Surface * rotozoomSurface (SDL_Surface *src, double angle, double zoom, int smooth);

 Rotates and zoomes a 32bit or 8bit 'src' surface to newly created 'dst' surface.
 'angle' is the rotation in degrees. 'zoom' a scaling factor. If 'smooth' is 1
 then the destination 32bit surface is anti-aliased. If the surface is not 8bit
 or 32bit RGBA/ABGR it will be converted into a 32bit RGBA format on the fly.


SDL_Surface * rotozoomSurfaceXY (SDL_Surface *src, double angle, double zoomx, double zoomy, int smooth);

 Rotates and zoomes a 32bit or 8bit 'src' surface to newly created 'dst' surface.
 'angle' is the rotation in degrees. 'zoomx' and 'zoomy' are scaling factors that
 can also be negative. In this case the corresponding axis is flipped.  If 'smooth' 
 is 1 then the destination 32bit surface is anti-aliased. If the surface is not 8bit
 or 32bit RGBA/ABGR it will be converted into a 32bit RGBA format on the fly.

 Note: Flipping currently only works with antialiasing turned off.


SDL_Surface * zoomSurface (SDL_Surface *src, double zoomx, double zoomy, int smooth);

 Zoomes a 32bit or 8bit 'src' surface to newly created 'dst' surface.
 'zoomx' and 'zoomy' are scaling factors for width and height. If 'smooth' is 1
 then the destination 32bit surface is anti-aliased. If the surface is not 8bit
 or 32bit RGBA/ABGR it will be converted into a 32bit RGBA format on the fly.


Smoothing (interpolation) flags work only on 32bit surfaces:

 #define SMOOTHING_OFF		0
 #define SMOOTHING_ON		1

Notes on framerate functions

The framerate functions are used to insert delays into the graphics loop to maintain a constant framerate.

The implementation is more sophisticated that the usual

	SDL_Delay(1000/FPS);

call since these functions keep track of the desired game time per frame for a linearly interpolated sequence of future timing points of each frame. This is done to avoid rounding errors from the inherent instability in the delay generation and application - i.e. the 100th frame of a game running at 50Hz will be accurately 2.00sec after the 1st frame (if the machine can keep up with the drawing). See also the diagram for more details on this.

Framerate Calc. Diagram

[[[ Interface ]]]


The functions return 0 or value for sucess and -1 for error. All functions
use a pointer to a framerate-manager variable to operate.

void SDL_initFramerate(FPSmanager * manager);

 Initialize the framerate manager, set default framerate of 30Hz and
 reset delay interpolation.


int SDL_setFramerate(FPSmanager * manager, int rate);

 Set a new framerate for the manager and reset delay interpolation.


int SDL_getFramerate(FPSmanager * manager);

 Get the currently set framerate of the manager.


void SDL_framerateDelay(FPSmanager * manager);

 Generate a delay to accomodate currently set framerate. Call once in the
 graphics/rendering loop. If the computer cannot keep up with the rate (i.e.
 drawing too slow), the delay is zero and the delay interpolation is reset.

Notes on imageFilter functions

The imagefilter functions are a collection of MMX optimized routines that operate on continuous buffers of bytes - typically greyscale images from framegrabbers and such - performing functions such as image addition and binarization. All functions (almost .. not the the convolution routines) have a C implementation that is automatically used on systems without MMX capabilities.

Comments:                                                                           
  1.) MMX functions work best if all data blocks are aligned on a 32 bytes boundary. 
  2.) Data that is not within an 8 byte boundary is processed using the C routine.   
  3.) Convolution routines do not have C routines at this time.                      
  4.) All routines return 0 for OK and -1 for error.

Installation and Test

To compile the library your need the SDL 1.2 installed from source or with the 'devel' RPM package.

Run

	./autogen.sh
	./configure
	make

to compile the library. Run the shell script 'nodebug.sh' before make, to patch the makefile for optimized compilation.

Run

	make install
	ldconfig

to install the library. The default location for the installation is /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include (for Linux).

To create a Windows DLL using VisualC:

        vcvars.bat
	copy VisualC/makefile
   	nmake

To create a Windows DLL using the xmingw32 cross-compiler:

        cross-configure
        cross-make
        cross-make install

Change to the ./Test directory and run

	./configure
	make

to create several test programs for the libraries functions.

To build without MMX code enabled (i.e. PPC architecture):

        ./configure --disable-mmx
        make
        make install

To build on MacOS X with Project Builder, follow these steps:

Update your developer tools to the lastest version (December 2002 as of this revision).

Install the SDL Developers framework for Mac OS X.

Download the latest SDL_gfx source distribution and extract the archive in a convenient location.

Extract the included OSX-PB.tgz archive into the top directory of the SDL_gfx distribution (from step 3). This will create a PB that contains the project files.

The project has targets for the SDL_gfx framework and the four test programs. All can be built using the 'deployment' or 'development' build styles.

Previous versions
=================

SDL_gfxPrimitives:
------------------

Ver 1.5 - Mon Jul  2 11:27:40 EDT 2001

* New alpha blending code for factor 4 speedups if a<255 on all functions.
* Modified include file for W32 DLL support.

* Added simple AA-circle/-ellipse routine - quality needs improvement.
* Removed 32bit shift on 64bit number from aaline for better portability
  across platforms.
* Removed a couple more compiler warnings (i.e. purely cosmetic fix).

Ver 1.4 - Sun Jun  3 11:52:07 EDT 2001

* Fixed hline, vline and rectangle clipping and result codes.
* Fixed AA-line arithmetic (was alpha subtraction, should be alpha ratio).
* More caching on fonts for speedups.
* More pointer checks in several places.
* New special cases for ellipses for rx=0/ry=0.
* Same sanity checks for circles/ellipses.
* Same return code for polygon/filledpolygon.

Ver 1.3 - Thu May 31 12:41:35 EDT 2001

* Minor cleanups and fixes (gcc -Wall is your friend).

Ver 1.2 again - Thu Apr  5 07:50:57 EDT 2001

  thanks Lion for pointing this out)

Ver 1.2 - Wed Apr  4 08:32:42 EDT 2001

* Changed to a dual, you-have-the-choice(TM) licencing system

* Clipping for aaline, circle and ellipse.

Ver 1.1 - Thu Mar 22 15:28:27 EST 2001

* Added code for Alpha=255 pixel drawing through direct memory writes to all routines
resulting in a much faster performance (factor 5 to 20) for non transparent pixels.
* New test and benchmark program with better info and nicer look.
* More info in README. Proper licence file. Comment cleanup.

Ver 1.0 - Fri Mar 16 08:38:07 EST 2001
