DESCRIPTION
The Image type defines rectangular pictures and the methods
to draw upon them; it is also the building block for higher
level objects such as windows and fonts. In particular, a
window is represented as an Image; no special operators are
needed to draw on a window.
r The coordinates of the rectangle in the plane for
which the Image has defined pixel values. It
should not be modified after the image is created.
clipr The clipping rectangle: operations that read or
write the image will not access pixels outside
clipr. Frequently, clipr is the same as r, but it
may differ; see in particular the discussion of
repl. The clipping region may be modified dynami-
cally using replclipr (q.v.).
chan The pixel channel format descriptor, as described
in image(6). The value should not be modified
after the image is created.
depth The number of bits per pixel in the picture; it is
identically chantodepth(chan) (see graphics(2))
and is provided as a convenience. The value
should not be modified after the image is created.
repl A boolean value specifying whether the image is
tiled to cover the plane when used as a source for
a drawing operation. If repl is zero, operations
are restricted to the intersection of r and clipr.
If repl is set, r defines the tile to be repli-
cated and clipr defines the portion of the plane
covered by the tiling, in other words, r is repli-
cated to cover clipr; in such cases r and clipr
are independent.
For example, a replicated image with r set to
((0, 0), (1, 1)) and clipr set to
((0, 0), (100, 100)), with the single pixel of r
set to blue, behaves identically to an image with
r and clipr both set to ((0, 0), (100, 100)) and
all pixels set to blue. However, the first image
requires far less memory. The replication flag
may be modified dynamically using replclipr
(q.v.).
Most of the drawing functions come in two forms: a basic
form, and an extended form that takes an extra Drawop to
specify a Porter-Duff compositing operator to use. The
basic forms assume the operator is SoverD, which suffices
for the vast majority of applications. The extended forms
Page 4 Plan 9 (printed 12/22/24)
DRAW(2) DRAW(2)
are named by adding an -op suffix to the basic form. Only
the basic forms are listed below.
draw(dst, r, src, mask, p)
Draw is the standard drawing function. Only those pix-
els within the intersection of dst->r and dst->clipr
will be affected; draw ignores dst->repl. The opera-
tion proceeds as follows (this is a description of the
behavior, not the implementation):
1. If repl is set in src or mask, replicate their
contents to fill their clip rectangles.
2. Translate src and mask so p is aligned with r.min.
3. Set r to the intersection of r and dst->r.
4. Intersect r with src->clipr. If src->repl is
false, also intersect r with src->r.
5. Intersect r with mask->clipr. If mask->repl is
false, also intersect r with mask->r.
6. For each location in r, combine the dst pixel with
the src pixel using the alpha value corresponding
to the mask pixel. If the mask has an explicit
alpha channel, the alpha value corresponding to
the mask pixel is simply that pixel's alpha chan-
nel. Otherwise, the alpha value is the NTSC
greyscale equivalent of the color value, with
white meaning opaque and black transparent. In
terms of the Porter-Duff compositing algebra, draw
replaces the dst pixels with (src in mask) over
dst. (In the extended form, ``over'' is replaced
by op).
The various pixel channel formats involved need not be
identical. If the channels involved are smaller than
8-bits, they will be promoted before the calculation by
replicating the extant bits; after the calculation,
they will be truncated to their proper sizes.
gendraw(dst, r, src, p0, mask, p1)
Similar to draw except that gendraw aligns the source
and mask differently: src is aligned so p0 corresponds
to r.min and mask is aligned so p1 corresponds to
r.min. For most purposes with simple masks and source
images, draw is sufficient, but gendraw is the general
operator and the one all other drawing primitives are
built upon.
drawreplxy(min,max,x)
Page 5 Plan 9 (printed 12/22/24)
DRAW(2) DRAW(2)
Clips x to be in the half-open interval [min, max) by
adding or subtracting a multiple of max-min.
drawrepl(r,p)
Clips the point p to be within the rectangle r by
translating the point horizontally by an integer multi-
ple of rectangle width and vertically by the height.
replclipr(i,repl,clipr)
Because the image data is stored on the server, local
modifications to the Image data structure itself will
have no effect. Repclipr modifies the local Image data
structure's repl and clipr fields, and notifies the
server of their modification.
line(dst, p0, p1, end0, end1, thick, src, sp)
Line draws in dst a line of width 1+2*thick pixels
joining points p0 and p1. The line is drawn using pix-
els from the src image aligned so sp in the source cor-
responds to p0 in the destination. The line touches
both p0 and p1, and end0 and end1 specify how the ends
of the line are drawn. Endsquare terminates the line
perpendicularly to the direction of the line; a thick
line with Endsquare on both ends will be a rectangle.
Enddisc terminates the line by drawing a disc of diame-
ter 1+2*thick centered on the end point. Endarrow ter-
minates the line with an arrowhead whose tip touches
the endpoint.
The macro ARROW permits explicit control of the shape
of the arrow. If all three parameters are zero, it
produces the default arrowhead, otherwise, a sets the
distance along line from end of the regular line to
tip, b sets the distance along line from the barb to
the tip, and c sets the distance perpendicular to the
line from edge of line to the tip of the barb, all in
pixels.
Line and the other geometrical operators are equivalent
to calls to gendraw using a mask produced by the geo-
metric procedure.
poly(dst, p, np, end0, end1, thick, src, sp)
Poly draws a general polygon; it is conceptually equiv-
alent to a series of calls to line joining adjacent
points in the array of Points p, which has np elements.
The ends of the polygon are specified as in line; inte-
rior lines are terminated with Enddisc to make smooth
joins. The source is aligned so sp corresponds to
p[0].
fillpoly(dst, p, np, wind, src, sp)
Page 6 Plan 9 (printed 12/22/24)
DRAW(2) DRAW(2)
Fillpoly is like poly but fills in the resulting poly-
gon rather than outlining it. The source is aligned so
sp corresponds to p[0]. The winding rule parameter
wind resolves ambiguities about what to fill if the
polygon is self-intersecting. If wind is ~0, a pixel
is inside the polygon if the polygon's winding number
about the point is non-zero. If wind is 1, a pixel is
inside if the winding number is odd. Complementary
values (0 or ~1) cause outside pixels to be filled.
The meaning of other values is undefined. The polygon
is closed with a line if necessary.
bezier(dst, a, b, c, d, end0, end1, thick, src, sp)
Bezier draws the cubic Bezier curve defined by Points
a, b, c, and d. The end styles are determined by end0
and end1; the thickness of the curve is 1+2*thick. The
source is aligned so sp in src corresponds to a in dst.
bezspline(dst, p, end0, end1, thick, src, sp)
Bezspline takes the same arguments as poly but draws a
quadratic B-spline (despite its name) rather than a
polygon. If the first and last points in p are equal,
the spline has periodic end conditions.
bezsplinepts(pt, npt, pp)
Bezsplinepts returns in pp a list of points making up
the open polygon that bezspline would draw. The caller
is responsible for freeing *pp.
fillbezier(dst, a, b, c, d, wind, src, sp)
Fillbezier is to bezier as fillpoly is to poly.
fillbezspline(dst, p, wind, src, sp)
Fillbezspline is like fillpoly but fills the quadratic
B-spline rather than the polygon outlined by p. The
spline is closed with a line if necessary.
ellipse(dst, c, a, b, thick, src, sp)
Ellipse draws in dst an ellipse centered on c with hor-
izontal and vertical semiaxes a and b. The source is
aligned so sp in src corresponds to c in dst. The
ellipse is drawn with thickness 1+2*thick.
fillellipse(dst, c, a, b, src, sp)
Fillellipse is like ellipse but fills the ellipse
rather than outlining it.
arc(dst, c, a, b, thick, src, sp, alpha, phi)
Arc is like ellipse, but draws only that portion of the
ellipse starting at angle alpha and extending through
an angle of phi. The angles are measured in degrees
counterclockwise from the positive x axis.
Page 7 Plan 9 (printed 12/22/24)
DRAW(2) DRAW(2)
fillarc(dst, c, a, b, src, sp, alpha, phi)
Fillarc is like arc, but fills the sector with the
source color.
icossin(deg, cosp, sinp)
Icossin stores in *cosp and *sinp scaled integers rep-
resenting the cosine and sine of the angle deg, mea-
sured in integer degrees. The values are scaled so
cos(0) is 1024.
icossin2(x, y, cosp, sinp)
Icossin2 is analogous to icossin, with the angle repre-
sented not in degrees but implicitly by the point
(x,y). It is to icossin what atan2 is to atan (see
sin(2)).
border(dst, r, i, color, sp)
Border draws an outline of rectangle r in the specified
color. The outline has width i; if positive, the border
goes inside the rectangle; negative, outside. The
source is aligned so sp corresponds to r.min.
string(dst, p, src, sp, font, s)
String draws in dst characters specified by the string
s and font; it is equivalent to a series of calls to
gendraw using source src and masks determined by the
character shapes. The text is positioned with the left
of the first character at p.x and the top of the line
of text at p.y. The source is positioned so sp in src
corresponds to p in dst. String returns a Point that is
the position of the next character that would be drawn
if the string were longer.
For characters with undefined or zero-width images in
the font, the character at font position 0 (NUL) is
drawn.
The other string routines are variants of this basic
form, and have names that encode their variant behav-
ior. Routines whose names contain rune accept a string
of Runes rather than UTF-encoded bytes. Routines end-
ing in n accept an argument, n, that defines the number
of characters to draw rather than accepting a NUL-
terminated string. Routines containing bg draw the
background behind the characters in the specified color
(bg) and alignment (bgp); normally the text is drawn
leaving the background intact.
The routine _string captures all this behavior into a
single operator. Whether it draws a UTF string or Rune
string depends on whether s or r is null (the string
length is always determined by len). If bg is non-null,
Page 8 Plan 9 (printed 12/22/24)
DRAW(2) DRAW(2)
it is used as a background color. The clipr argument
allows further management of clipping when drawing the
string; it is intersected with the usual clipping rect-
angles to further limit the extent of the text.
drawsetdebug(on)
Turns on or off debugging output (usually to a serial
line) according to whether on is non-zero.

DIAGNOSTICS
These routines call the graphics error function on fatal
errors.
BUGS
Anti-aliased characters can be drawn by defining a font with
multiple bits per pixel, but there are no anti-aliasing geo-
metric primitives.
