NAME

gl_compileboxmask - compress a masked bitmap

SYNOPSIS

#include <vgagl.h>

void gl_compileboxmask(int w, int h, void *sdp, void *ddp);

DESCRIPTION

Convert the rectangular masked bitmap of size (w, h) at sdp to a compressed format that allows faster drawing, which is stored at ddp. Allocating w * h bytes for the compiled version is usually enough; an upper limit should be (w + 2) * h.

Compiled bitmaps are only supported in linear 256 color modes.

It is very likely that both are at least to some extent are due to Harm Hanemaayer <H.Hanemaayer@inter.nl.net>.

Occasionally this might be wrong. I hereby asked to be excused by the original author and will happily accept any additions or corrections to this first version of the svgalib manual.
