.Nd Video Graphics Library functions
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Fd #include <vgl.h>
|
|
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
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 FreeBSD, see
|
|
.Fn moused
|
|
, including the ability to transparantly have a mousepointer superimposed on
|
|
the graphic image currently being worked on.
|
|
The library takes care of screenswitching by storing the current image in
|
|
memory before swithing 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:

.Sh FUNCTIONS
|
|
|
|
.Ft int
|
|
.Fn VGLInit "int mode"
|
|
|
|
Initialize the library and set up the graphic mode

|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn VGLEnd "void"
|
|
|
|
Terminate graphic mode, and restore the screenmode that was active before
|

was called.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.Ft void
|
|
.Fn VGLCheckSwitch "void"
|
|
|
|
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.

|
|
|
|
|
.Ft int

|
.Fn VGLTextSetFontFile "char *filename"
|
|
|
|
