## Introduction

The SDL_gfx library evolved out of the SDL_gfxPrimitives code which provided basic drawing routines such as lines, circles or polygons for SDL Surfaces and adding a couple other useful functions for zooming images for example and doing basic image processing on byte arrays.

The current components of the SDL_gfx library are:

- Graphic Primitives (SDL_gfxPrimitives.h, SDL_gfxPrimitives.c)
- Rotozoomer (SDL_rotozoom.h, SDL_rotozoom.c)
- Framerate control (SDL_framerate.h, SDL_framerate.c)
- MMX image filters (SDL_imageFilter.h, SDL_imageFilter.c)
- Custom Blit functions (SDL_gfxBlitFunc.h, SDL_gfxBlitFunc.c)
- Build-in 8x8 Font (SDL_gfxPrimitives_font.h)

### 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-polygon
- AA-circle
- AA-ellipse

Note: All ___Color routines expect the color to be in the format 0xRRGGBBAA.

### Notes on Rotozoomer

The rotozoom code is not ASSEMBLY quality - but it should be fast enough even for some realtime effects if the CPU is good or bitmaps small. With interpolation the routines are typically used for pre-rendering stuff in higher quality (i.e. smoothing) - that's also the reason why the API differs from SDL_BlitRect() - as they create 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.

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

     #define SMOOTHING_OFF		0
     #define SMOOTHING_ON		1

### Notes on Framerate Manager

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).

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

### Notes on ImageFilters

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.

The compiler flag -DUSE_MMX toggles the conditional compile of MMX assembly. An assembler must be installed (i.e. "nasm").

### Supported Platforms

The library compiles and is tested for a Linux target (gcc compiler) and a Win32 target (VisualC6/7/8/9, mingw32, xmingw32 cross-compiler). MacOS X target is reported to work (10.3+ native and Project Builder). QNX is reported to build well (see .diff in "Other Builds").

Zune HD (WinCE 6 ARM) is reported to build (see OpenZDK in "Other Builds"). Note that between rendering on the Zune's ARM CPU and constantly uploading textures to the GPU, SDL_gfx is going to be slow. Also, the libc math functions all use software FP emulation even when VFP floating point support is turned on in the compiler, so there's extra overhead due to that as well.

When using the cross-compiler (available on the author's homepage, slightly out of date), the build process generates .DLLs. You can use the command line 'LIB.EXE' tool to generate VC6 compatible .LIB files for linking purposes.

Other platforms might work but have not been tested by the author. Please check the file "INSTALL" as well as the folder "Other Builds".

See section "Installation" below for more build instructions.

## Installation

### Unix/Linux

To compile the library your need the SDL 1.2 installed from source or installed with the 'devel' RPM package. For example on Mandriva, run:

    	urpmi  libSDL1.2-devel

Then run

    	./autogen.sh	# (optional)
    	./configure
    	make
    	make install
    	ldconfig

to compile and install the library. The default location for the installation is /usr/local/lib and /usr/local/include. The libary path might need to be added to the file: /etc/ld.so.conf

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

    	./autogen.sh	# (optional)
    	./configure
    	./nodebug.sh
    	make
    	make install
    	ldconfig

Check the folder "Other Builds" for alternative makefiles.

### Build Prep

Run autogen.sh or manually:

    	aclocal --force
    	libtoolize --force --copy
    	autoreconf -fvi

### No-MMX

To build without MMX code enabled (i.e. PPC or for AMD64 architecture which is missing pusha/popa):

    	./configure --disable-mmx
    	make
    	make install

i.e. to build on MacOSX 10.3+ use:

    	./configure --disable-mmx && make

### Windows (VC9)

Open solution file and review README.

### Windows (VC6/7)

See folder Other Builds.

To create a Windows DLL using VisualC6:

    	unzip -a VisualC6.zip
    	vcvars32.bat
    	copy VisualC/makefile
    	nmake

or

    	unzip -a VisualC7.zip

and open the project file.

### WindowsCE

See folder Other Builds.

May need workaround for missing lrint.

### Cross-Compilation

To build using mingw32 on Win32, check the makefile contained in mingw.zip

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

    	cross-configure
    	cross-make
    	cross-make install

Make sure the -DBUILD_DLL is used (and only then) when creating the DLLs. Make sure -DWIN32 is used when compiling the sources (creating or using the DLLs.

Specify the path to your cross-compiled 'sdl-config', and invoke './configure' with the '--host' and '--build' arguments. For example, to cross-compile a .DLL from GNU/Linux:

    	SDL_CONFIG=/usr/local/cross-tools/i386-mingw32msvc/bin/sdl-config \
    		./configure --host=i586-mingw32msvc --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
    	make
    	make install

### QNX

To build on QNX6, patch first using:

    	patch -p0 <QNX.diff

### OSX

Use standard unix build sequence.

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

- Update your developer tools to the lastest version.
- 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.

A newer version for MaxOS X is included in the OSX-PB-XCode.zip archive. The updated version uses relative pathnames where appropriate, and pointers to the standard installation location of SDL. However, it may require XCode in order to be used.

## Test Programs

Change to the ./Test directory and run

    	./configure
    	make

to create several test programs for the libraries functions. This requires the library to be compiled and installed.

See the source code .c files for some sample code and implementation hints.
