## Function Documentation

FL_EXPORT int fl_add_symbol | ( | const char * | name,
|  | void(*)(Fl_Color) | drawit,
|  | int | scalable
| ) |  |

Adds a symbol to the system.

Parameters

  [in] | name | name of symbol (without the "@")
  [in] | drawit | function to draw symbol
  [in] | scalable | set to 1 if `drawit` uses scalable vector drawing

Returns
  1 on success, 0 on failure

void fl_arc | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | int | w,
|  | int | h,
|  | double | a1,
|  | double | a2
| ) |  |

inline

Draw ellipse sections using integer coordinates.

These functions match the rather limited circle drawing code provided by X and WIN32. The advantage over using fl_arc with floating point coordinates is that they are faster because they often use the hardware, and they draw much nicer small circles, since the small sizes are often hard-coded bitmaps.

If a complete circle is drawn it will fit inside the passed bounding box. The two angles are measured in degrees counter-clockwise from 3 o'clock and are the starting and ending angle of the arc, `a2` must be greater or equal to `a1`.

fl_arc() draws a series of lines to approximate the arc. Notice that the integer version of fl_arc() has a different number of arguments than the double version fl_arc(double x, double y, double r, double start, double end)

Parameters

  [in] | x,y,w,h | bounding box of complete circle
  [in] | a1,a2 | start and end angles of arc measured in degrees counter-clockwise from 3 o'clock. `a2` must be greater than or equal to `a1`.

void fl_arc | ( | double | x,
|  | double | y,
|  | double | r,
|  | double | start,
|  | double | end
| ) |  |

inline

Adds a series of points to the current path on the arc of a circle.

You can get elliptical paths by using scale and rotate before calling fl_arc().

Parameters

  [in] | x,y,r | center and radius of circular arc
  [in] | start,end | angles of start and end of arc measured in degrees counter-clockwise from 3 o'clock. If `end` is less than `start` then it draws the arc in a clockwise direction.

void fl_begin_complex_polygon | ( |  | ) |

inline

Starts drawing a complex filled polygon.

The polygon may be concave, may have holes in it, or may be several disconnected pieces. Call fl_gap() to separate loops of the path.

To outline the polygon, use fl_begin_loop() and replace each fl_gap() with fl_end_loop();fl_begin_loop() pairs.

Note
  For portability, you should only draw polygons that appear the same whether "even/odd" or "non-zero" winding rules are used to fill them. Holes should be drawn in the opposite direction to the outside loop.

void fl_begin_offscreen | ( | Fl_Offscreen | ctx | ) |

Send all subsequent drawing commands to this offscreen buffer.

Parameters

  ctx | the offscreen buffer.

void fl_begin_points | ( |  | ) |

inline

Starts drawing a list of points.

Points are added to the list with fl_vertex()

FL_EXPORT char fl_can_do_alpha_blending | ( |  | ) |

Checks whether platform supports true alpha blending for RGBA images.

Returns
  1 if true alpha blending supported by platform
  0 not supported so FLTK will use screen door transparency

void fl_circle | ( | double | x,
|  | double | y,
|  | double | r
| ) |  |

inline

fl_circle() is equivalent to fl_arc(x,y,r,0,360), but may be faster.

It must be the only thing in the path: if you want a circle as part of a complex polygon you must use fl_arc()

Parameters

  [in] | x,y,r | center and radius of circle

int fl_clip_box | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | int | w,
|  | int | h,
|  | int & | X,
|  | int & | Y,
|  | int & | W,
|  | int & | H
| ) |  |

inline

Intersects the rectangle with the current clip region and returns the bounding box of the result.

Returns non-zero if the resulting rectangle is different to the original. This can be used to limit the necessary drawing to a rectangle. `W` and `H` are set to zero if the rectangle is completely outside the region.

Parameters

  [in] | x,y,w,h | position and size of rectangle
  [out] | X,Y,W,H | position and size of resulting bounding box.

Returns
  Non-zero if the resulting rectangle is different to the original.

void fl_clip_region | ( | Fl_Region | r | ) |

Replaces the top of the clipping stack with a clipping region of any shape.

Fl_Region is an operating system specific type.

Parameters

  [in] | r | clipping region

void fl_copy_offscreen | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | int | w,
|  | int | h,
|  | Fl_Offscreen | pixmap,
|  | int | srcx,
|  | int | srcy
| ) |  |

Copy a rectangular area of the given offscreen buffer into the current drawing destination.

Parameters

  x,y | position where to draw the copied rectangle
  w,h | size of the copied rectangle
  pixmap | offscreen buffer containing the rectangle to copy
  srcx,srcy | origin in offscreen buffer of rectangle to copy

FL_EXPORT void fl_cursor | ( | Fl_Cursor | c,
|  | Fl_Color | fg,
|  | Fl_Color | bg
| ) |  |

Sets the cursor for the current window to the specified shape and colors.

The cursors are defined in the <FL/Enumerations.H> header file.

void fl_curve | ( | double | X0,
|  | double | Y0,
|  | double | X1,
|  | double | Y1,
|  | double | X2,
|  | double | Y2,
|  | double | X3,

The curve ends (and two of the points) are at X0,Y0 and X3,Y3.

Parameters

  [in] | X0,Y0 | curve start point
  [in] | X1,Y1 | curve control point
  [in] | X2,Y2 | curve control point

Parameters

  ctx | the buffer to be deleted.

FL_EXPORT void fl_draw | ( | const char * | str,
|  | int | x,
|  | int | y
| ) |  |

Draws a nul-terminated UTF-8 string starting at the given `x`, `y` location.

Text is aligned to the left and to the baseline of the font. To align to the bottom, subtract fl_descent() from `y`. To align to the top, subtract fl_descent() and add fl_height(). This version of fl_draw provides direct access to the text drawing function of the underlying OS. It does not apply any special handling to control characters.

FL_EXPORT void fl_draw | ( | int | angle,
|  | const char * | str,
|  | int | x,
|  | int | y
| ) |  |

Draws a nul-terminated UTF-8 string starting at the given `x`, `y` location and rotating `angle` degrees counter-clockwise.

This version of fl_draw provides direct access to the text drawing function of the underlying OS and is supported by Xft, Win32 and MacOS fltk subsets.

FL_EXPORT void fl_draw | ( | const char * | str,
|  | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | int | w,
|  | int | h,
|  | Fl_Align | align,
|  | Fl_Image * | img,
|  | int | draw_symbols
| ) |  |

Fancy string drawing function which is used to draw all the labels.

The string is formatted and aligned inside the passed box. Handles '\t' and '\n', expands all other control characters to '^X', and aligns inside or against the edges of the box. See Fl_Widget::align() for values of `align`. The value FL_ALIGN_INSIDE is ignored, as this function always prints inside the box. If `img` is provided and is not `NULL`, the image is drawn above or below the text as specified by the `align` value. The `draw_symbols` argument specifies whether or not to look for symbol names starting with the '@' character' The text length is limited to 1024 characters per line.

FL_EXPORT void fl_draw_box | ( | Fl_Boxtype | t,
|  | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | int | w,
|  | int | h,
|  | Fl_Color | c
| ) |  |

Draws a box using given type, position, size and color.

Parameters

  [in] | t | box type
  [in] | x,y,w,h | position and size
  [in] | c | color

void fl_draw_image | ( | const uchar * | buf,
|  | int | X,
|  | int | Y,
|  | int | W,
|  | int | H,
|  | int | D = `3`,
|  | int | L = `0`
| ) |  |

inline

Draws an 8-bit per color RGB or luminance image.

Parameters

  [in] | buf | points at the "r" data of the top-left pixel. Color data must be in `r,g,b` order. Luminance data is only one `gray` byte.
  [in] | X,Y | position where to put top-left corner of image
  [in] | W,H | size of the image
  [in] | D | delta to add to the pointer between pixels. It may be any value greater than or equal to 1, or it can be negative to flip the image horizontally
  [in] | L | delta to add to the pointer between lines (if 0 is passed it uses `W` * `D`), and may be larger than `W` * `D` to crop data, or negative to flip the image vertically

It is highly recommended that you put the following code before the first `show()` of any window in your program to get rid of the dithering if possible:

Fl::visual(FL_RGB);

Gray scale (1-channel) images may be drawn. This is done if `abs(D)` is less than 3, or by calling fl_draw_image_mono(). Only one 8-bit sample is used for each pixel, and on screens with different numbers of bits for red, green, and blue only gray colors are used. Setting `D` greater than 1 will let you display one channel of a color image.

Note:
  The X version does not support all possible visuals. If FLTK cannot draw the image in the current visual it will abort. FLTK supports any visual of 8 bits or less, and all common TrueColor visuals up to 32 bits.

void fl_draw_image | ( | Fl_Draw_Image_Cb | cb,
|  | void * | data,
|  | int | X,
|  | int | Y,
|  | int | W,
|  | int | H,
|  | int | D = `3`
| ) |  |

inline

Draws an image using a callback function to generate image data.

You can generate the image as it is being drawn, or do arbitrary decompression of stored data, provided it can be decompressed to individual scan lines easily.

Parameters

  [in] | cb | callback function to generate scan line data
  [in] | data | user data passed to callback function
  [in] | X,Y | screen position of top left pixel
  [in] | W,H | image width and height
  [in] | D | data size in bytes (must be greater than 0)

See Also
  fl_draw_image(const uchar* buf, int X,int Y,int W,int H, int D, int L)

The callback function `cb` is called with the `void*` `data` user data pointer to allow access to a structure of information about the image, and the `x`, `y`, and `w` of the scan line desired from the image. 0,0 is the upper-left corner of the image, not `x`, `y`. A pointer to a buffer to put the data into is passed. You must copy `w` pixels from scanline `y`, starting at pixel `x`, to this buffer.

Due to cropping, less than the whole image may be requested. So `x` may be greater than zero, the first `y` may be greater than zero, and `w` may be less than `W`. The buffer is long enough to store the entire `W` * `D` pixels, this is for convenience with some decompression schemes where you must decompress the entire line at once: decompress it into the buffer, and then if `x` is not zero, copy the data over so the `x'th` pixel is at the start of the buffer.

You can assume the `y's` will be consecutive, except the first one may be greater than zero.

If `D` is 4 or more, you must fill in the unused bytes with zero.

|  | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | Fl_Color | bg
| ) |  |

The image is dithered on 8-bit displays so you won't lose color space for programs displaying both images and pixmaps.

Parameters

  [in] | data | pointer to XPM image data
  [in] | x,y | position of top-left corner
  [in] | bg | background color

Returns
  0 if there was any error decoding the XPM data.

|  | char * | buf,
|  | int | maxbuf,
|  | double | maxw,
|  | int & | n,
|  | double & | width,
|  | int | wrap,
|  | int | draw_symbols
| ) |  |

Copy `from` to `buf`, replacing unprintable characters with ^X and \nnn.

Stop at a newline or if MAXBUF characters written to buffer. Also word-wrap if width exceeds maxw. Returns a pointer to the start of the next line of characters. Sets n to the number of characters put into the buffer. Sets width to the width of the string in the current font.

FL_EXPORT void fl_frame | ( | const char * | s,
|  | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | int | w,
|  | int | h
| ) |  |

Draws a series of line segments around the given box.

The string `s` must contain groups of 4 letters which specify one of 24 standard grayscale values, where 'A' is black and 'X' is white. The order of each set of 4 characters is: top, left, bottom, right. The result of calling fl_frame() with a string that is not a multiple of 4 characters in length is undefined. The only difference between this function and fl_frame2() is the order of the line segments.

Parameters

  [in] | s | sets of 4 grayscale values in top, left, bottom, right order
  [in] | x,y,w,h | position and size

FL_EXPORT void fl_frame2 | ( | const char * | s,
|  | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | int | w,
|  | int | h
| ) |  |

Draws a series of line segments around the given box.

The string `s` must contain groups of 4 letters which specify one of 24 standard grayscale values, where 'A' is black and 'X' is white. The order of each set of 4 characters is: bottom, right, top, left. The result of calling fl_frame2() with a string that is not a multiple of 4 characters in length is undefined. The only difference between this function and fl_frame() is the order of the line segments.

Parameters

  [in] | s | sets of 4 grayscale values in bottom, right, top, left order
  [in] | x,y,w,h | position and size

void fl_gap | ( |  | ) |

inline

Call fl_gap() to separate loops of the path.

It is unnecessary but harmless to call fl_gap() before the first vertex, after the last vertex, or several times in a row.

void fl_line_style | ( | int | style,
|  | int | width = `0`,
|  | char * | dashes = `0`
| ) |  |

inline

Sets how to draw lines (the "pen").

If you change this it is your responsibility to set it back to the default using `fl_line_style(0)`.

Parameters

  [in] | style | A bitmask which is a bitwise-OR of a line style, a cap style, and a join style. If you don't specify a dash type you will get a solid line. If you don't specify a cap or join type you will get a system-defined default of whatever value is fastest.
  [in] | width | The thickness of the lines in pixels. Zero results in the system defined default, which on both X and Windows is somewhat different and nicer than 1.
  [in] | dashes | A pointer to an array of dash lengths, measured in pixels. The first location is how long to draw a solid portion, the next is how long to draw the gap, then the solid, etc. It is terminated with a zero-length entry. A `NULL` pointer or a zero-length array results in a solid line. Odd array sizes are not supported and result in undefined behavior.

Note
  Because of how line styles are implemented on Win32 systems, you must set the line style after setting the drawing color. If you set the color after the line style you will lose the line style settings.
  The `dashes` array does not work under Windows 95, 98 or Me, since those operating systems do not support complex line styles.

FL_EXPORT void fl_measure | ( | const char * | str,
|  | int & | w,
|  | int & | h,
|  | int | draw_symbols
| ) |  |

Measure how wide and tall the string will be when printed by the fl_draw() function with `align` parameter.

If the incoming `w` is non-zero it will wrap to that width.

The 'current font' is used to do the width/height calculations, so unless its value is known at the time fl_measure() is called, it is advised to first set the current font with fl_font().

Note: In the general use case, it's a common error to forget to set `w` to 0 before calling fl_measure() when wrap behavior isn't needed.

Parameters

  [in] | str | nul-terminated string
  [out] | w,h | width and height of string in current font
  [in] | draw_symbols | non-zero to enable @symbol handling [default=1]

// Example: Common use case for fl_measure()
const char *s = "This is a test";
int wi=0, hi=0; // initialize to zero before calling fl_measure()
fl_font(FL_HELVETICA, 14); // set current font face/size to be used for measuring
fl_measure(s, wi, hi); // returns pixel width/height of string in current font

FL_EXPORT int fl_measure_pixmap | ( | char *const * | data,
|  | int & | w,

  [out] | w,h | width and height of image

Returns
  non-zero if the dimensions were parsed OK
  0 if there were any problems

Parameters

  [in] | x,y,w,h | position and size of rectangle

Returns
  non-zero if any of the rectangle intersects the current clip region. If this returns 0 you don't have to draw the object.

Note
  Under X this returns 2 if the rectangle is partially clipped, and 1 if it is entirely inside the clip region.

FL_EXPORT unsigned int fl_old_shortcut | ( | const char * | s | ) |

|  | double | a2
| ) |  |

inline

Like fl_arc(), but fl_pie() draws a filled-in pie slice. This slice may extend outside the line drawn by fl_arc(); to avoid this use w - 1 and h - 1.

Parameters

  [in] | x,y,w,h | bounding box of complete circle
  [in] | a1,a2 | start and end angles of arc measured in degrees counter-clockwise from 3 o'clock. `a2` must be greater than or equal to `a1`.

void fl_pop_clip | ( |  | ) |

inline

Restores the previous clip region.

You must call fl_pop_clip() once for every time you call fl_push_clip(). Unpredictable results may occur if the clip stack is not empty when you return to FLTK.

void fl_push_clip | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | int | w,
|  | int | h
| ) |  |

inline

Intersects the current clip region with a rectangle and pushes this new region onto the stack.

Parameters

  [in] | x,y,w,h | position and size

void fl_push_matrix | ( |  | ) |

inline

Saves the current transformation matrix on the stack.

The maximum depth of the stack is 32.

FL_EXPORT uchar* fl_read_image | ( | uchar * | p,
|  | int | X,
|  | int | Y,
|  | int | W,
|  | int | H,
|  | int | alpha = `0`
| ) |  |

Reads an RGB(A) image from the current window or off-screen buffer.

Parameters

  [in] | p | pixel buffer, or NULL to allocate one
  [in] | X,Y | position of top-left of image to read
  [in] | W,H | width and height of image to read
  [in] | alpha | alpha value for image (0 for none)

Returns
  pointer to pixel buffer, or NULL if allocation failed.

The `p` argument points to a buffer that can hold the image and must be at least `W*H*3` bytes when reading RGB images, or `W*H*4` bytes when reading RGBA images. If NULL, fl_read_image() will create an array of the proper size which can be freed using `delete[]`.

The `alpha` parameter controls whether an alpha channel is created and the value that is placed in the alpha channel. If 0, no alpha channel is generated.

void fl_rect | ( | int | x,
|  | int | y,
|  | int | w,
|  | int | h
| ) |  |

inline

Draws a 1-pixel border inside the given bounding box.

This function is meant for quick drawing of simple boxes. The behavior is undefined for line widths that are not 1.

|  | int | w,
|  | int | h,
|  | uchar | r,
|  | uchar | g,
|  | uchar | b
| ) |  |

Colors a rectangle with "exactly" the passed `r,g,b` color.

On screens with less than 24 bits of color this is done by drawing a solid-colored block using fl_draw_image() so that the correct color shade is produced.
