.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm Libvgl
is a library that enables the programmer access to the graphics
modes supported by the console driver (syscons). The library takes care of
programming the actual video hardware, and provides a number of simple
functions to do various graphic operations. There is also support for a
mouse via the standard mouse system in
.Fx ,
see
.Xr mouse 4 ,
including the ability to transparently have a mouse pointer superimposed on
the graphic image currently being worked on.
1997-10-22 23:12:27 +00:00
The library takes care of screen switching by storing the current image in
memory before switching to another virtual console, and restoring when the
user switches back. This allows several graphic applications at once, but
on different virtual consoles.
Below is a short description of the various functions:
.Pp
.Fn VGLInit
initialize the library and set up the graphic mode
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Va mode .
.Pp
.Fn VGLEnd
terminate graphic mode, and restore the screenmode that was active before
.Fn VGLInit
was called.
.Pp
.Fn VGLCheckSwitch
if the program goes into longer periods of processing without doing
any graphics output, calling this function occasionally will allow
the system to switch screens.
.Pp
.Fn VGLTextSetFontFile
instruct the char/string functions to use the font in file
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Pa filename
1997-10-22 23:12:27 +00:00
instead of the builtin font.
.Pp
.Fn VGLKeyboardInit
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
set up the keyboard in the
.Dq raw
I/O mode and
specify the key code to be used.
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Va code
must be
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Dv VGL_XLATEKEYS ,
.Dv VGL_CODEKEYS ,
or
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Dv VGL_RAWKEYS .
When
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Dv VGL_XLATEKEYS
is specified, the keyboard translate the raw keyboard scan code into
a character code.
If
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Dv VGL_RAWKEYS
is used, the raw keyboard scan code is read as is.
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Dv VGL_CODEKEYS
is the intermediate key code; each key is assigned a unique code whereas
more than one raw scan code may be generated when a key is pressed.
.Pp
.Fn VGLKeyboardEnd
when you have finished using the keyboard, call this function.
.Pp
.Fn VGLKeyboardGetCh
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
read one byte from the keyboard. As the keyboard I/O is in the
.Dq raw
input mode, the function will not block even if there is no input data,
and returns 0.
.Pp
.Fn VGLMouseInit
initialize the mouse. The optional on-screen mouse pointer is shown if the
argument is
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Dv VGL_MOUSESHOW .
.Pp
.Fn VGLMouseMode
either shows the mouse pointer if the argument is
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Dv VGL_MOUSESHOW ,
or hides the mouse pointer if the argument is
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Dv VGL_MOUSEHIDE .
.Pp
.Fn VGLMouseStatus
returns the current mouse pointer coordinates and button state in
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Va x , y ,
buttons. The return value reflects if the mouse pointer
is currently shown on screen or not.
.Pp
.Fn VGLMouseSetImage
with this function it is possible to change the image of the mouse pointer
on screen.
.Pp
.Fn VGLMouseSetStdImage
this function restores the mouse pointer to the standard arrow.
.Pp
.Fn VGLGetXY
retrieves the color of the pixel located at
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Va x , y ,
coordinates of the
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Va object
argument, and returns it as a byte value.
.Pp
.Fn VGLSetXY
sets the color of the pixel located at
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Va x , y ,
coordinates of the
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Va object
argument to
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Va color
byte value.

2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Va x1 , y1
and lower right hand corner at
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00

must be
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Va VGLDisplay .
Passing a in-memory bitmap to this function results in error.
.Pp
The desired virtual screen width may not be achievable because
of the video card hardware. In such case the video driver (and
underlaying video BIOS) may choose the next largest values.
Always examine
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00
.Va object->VXsize
and
2000-01-05 15:16:32 +00:00

after calling this function, in order to see how the virtual screen
is actually set up.
.Pp
In order to set up the largest possible virtual screen, you may
call this function with arbitrary large values.

.Va blank
1997-10-22 23:12:27 +00:00

the user should first see when it's done.
