## API

OpenVG refcard

Coordinates are VGfloat values, with the origin at the lower left, with x increasing to the right, and y increasing up.
OpenVG specifies colors as a VGfloat array containing red, green, blue, alpha values ranging from 0.0 to 1.0, but typically colors are specified as RGBA (0-255 for RGB, A from 0.0 to 1.0)

### Window (canvas) functions

void WindowClear()
WindowClear clears the window to previously set background colour

void AreaClear(unsigned int x, unsigned int y, unsigned int w, unsigned int h)
AreaClear clears a given rectangle in window coordinates

void WindowOpacity(unsigned int a)
WindowOpacity sets the window opacity

void WindowPosition(int x, int y)
WindowPosition moves the window to given position

### Setup and shutdown

void init(int *w, int *h)
Initialize the graphics: width and height of the canvas are returned. This should begin every program.

void initWindowSize(int x, int y, unsigned int w, unsigned int h)
Initialize with specific dimensions

void finish()
Shutdown the graphics. This should end every program.

void Start(int width, int height)
Begin the picture, clear the screen with a default white, set the stroke and fill to black.

void End()
End the picture, rendering to the screen.

void SaveEnd(char *filename)
End the picture, rendering to the screen, save the raster to the named file as 4-byte RGBA words, with a stride of
width*4 bytes. The program raw2png converts the "raw" raster to png.

## Using fonts

Also included is the font2openvg program, which turns font information into C source that
you can embed in your program. The Makefile makes font code from files found in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/.
If you want to use other fonts, adjust the Makefile accordingly, or generate the font code on your own once the font2openvg program is built.

font2openvg takes three arguments: the TrueType font file, the output file to be included and the prefix for identifiers.
For example to use the DejaVu Sans font:

./font2openvg /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf DejaVuSans.inc DejaVuSans

and include the generated code in your program:

#include "DejaVuSans.inc"
Fontinfo DejaFont

The loadfont function creates OpenVG paths from the font data:

loadfont(DejaVuSans_glyphPoints,
DejaVuSans_glyphPointIndices,
DejaVuSans_glyphInstructions,
DejaVuSans_glyphInstructionIndices,
DejaVuSans_glyphInstructionCounts,
DejaVuSans_glyphAdvances,
DejaVuSans_characterMap,
DejaVuSans_glyphCount);

The unloadfont function releases the path information:

unloadfont(DejaFont.Glyphs, DejaFont.Count);

Note that the location of the font files may differ. (The current location for Jessie is /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu)
Use the FONTLIB makefile variable to adjust this location.

# Build and run

Note that you will need at least 64 Mbytes of GPU RAM:. You will also need the DejaVu fonts, and the jpeg and freetype libraries.
The indent tool is also useful for code formatting. Install them via:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo apt-get install libjpeg8-dev indent libfreetype6-dev ttf-dejavu-core

Next, build the library and test:

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ git clone git://github.com/ajstarks/openvg
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ cd openvg
pi@raspberrypi ~/openvg $ make
g++ -I/usr/include/freetype2 fontutil/font2openvg.cpp -o font2openvg -lfreetype
./font2openvg /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSans.ttf DejaVuSans.inc DejaVuSans
224 glyphs written
./font2openvg /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSansMono.ttf DejaVuSansMono.inc DejaVuSansMono
224 glyphs written
./font2openvg /usr/share/fonts/truetype/ttf-dejavu/DejaVuSerif.ttf DejaVuSerif.inc DejaVuSerif

gcc -O2 -Wall -I/opt/vc/include -I/opt/vc/include/interface/vmcs_host/linux -I/opt/vc/include/interface/vcos/pthreads -c libshapes.c
gcc -O2 -Wall -I/opt/vc/include -I/opt/vc/include/interface/vmcs_host/linux -I/opt/vc/include/interface/vcos/pthreads -c oglinit.c
pi@raspberrypi ~/openvg/client $ cd client
pi@raspberrypi ~/openvg/client $ make test
cc -Wall -I/opt/vc/include -I/opt/vc/include/interface/vcos/pthreads -o shapedemo shapedemo.c ../libshapes.o ../oglinit.o -L/opt/vc/lib -lGLESv2 -ljpeg
./shapedemo demo 5

The program "shapedemo" exercises a high-level API built on OpenVG found in libshapes.c.

./shapedemo # show a reference card
./shapedemo raspi # show a self-portrait
./shapedemo image # show four test images
./shapedemo astro # the sun and the earth, to scale
./shapedemo text # show blocks of text in serif, sans, and mono fonts
./shapedemo rand 10 # show 10 random shapes
./shapedemo rotate 10 a # rotated and faded "a"
./shapedemo test "hello, world" # show a test pattern, with "hello, world" at mid-display in sans, serif, and mono.
./shapedemo fontsize # show a range of font sizes (per )
./shapedemo demo 10 # run through the demo, pausing 10 seconds between each one; contemplate the awesome.

To install the shapes library as a system-wide shared library

pi@raspberrypi ~/openvg $ make library
pi@raspberrypi ~/openvg $ sudo make install

The openvg shapes library can now be used in C code by including shapes.h and fontinfo.h and linking with libshapes.so:

#include
#include

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ gcc -I/opt/vc/include -I/opt/vc/include/interface/vmcs_host/linux -I/opt/vc/include/interface/vcos/pthreads anysource.c -o anysource -lshapes
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ ./anysource

## Go wrapper

A Go programming language wrapper for the library is found in openvg.go. Sample clients are in the directory go-client. The API closely follows the C API; here is the "hello, world" program in Go:

The Go API

package main

import (
"bufio"
"github.com/ajstarks/openvg"
"os"
)

func main() {
width, height := openvg.Init() // OpenGL, etc initialization

w2 := openvg.VGfloat(width / 2)
h2 := openvg.VGfloat(height / 2)
w := openvg.VGfloat(width)

openvg.Start(width, height) // Start the picture
openvg.BackgroundColor("black") // Black background
openvg.FillRGB(44, 77, 232, 1) // Big blue marble
openvg.Circle(w2, 0, w) // The "world"
openvg.FillColor("white") // White text
openvg.TextMid(w2, h2, "hello, world", "serif", width/10) // Greetings
openvg.End() // End the picture
bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin).ReadBytes('\n') // Pause until [RETURN]
openvg.Finish() // Graphics cleanup
}


To build the wrapper: (make sure GOPATH is set)

pi@raspberrypi ~/openvg $ go install .
pi@raspberrypi ~/openvg $ cd go-client/hellovg
pi@raspberrypi ~/openvg/go-client/hellovg $ go build .
pi@raspberrypi ~/openvg/go-client/hellovg $ ./hellovg
