RASOPS(9)

NAME
rasops, rasops_init, rasops_reconfig - raster display operations

SYNOPSIS
#include <dev/wscons/wsdisplayvar.h>
#include <dev/rasops/rasops.h>
int
rasops_init(struct rasops_info *ri, int wantrows, int wantcols);
int
rasops_reconfig(struct rasops_info *ri, int wantrows, int wantcols);

DESCRIPTION
The rasops subsystem is a set of raster operations for wscons(9).

The primary data type for using the raster operations is the rasops_info structure in dev/rasops/rasops.h:

    struct rasops_info {
    	/*
    	 * These must be filled in by the caller
    	 */
    	int	ri_depth;	/* depth in bits */
    	u_char	*ri_bits;	/* ptr to bits */
    	int	ri_width;	/* width (pels) */
    	int	ri_height;	/* height (pels) */
    	int	ri_stride;	/* stride in bytes */
    	/*
    	 * If you want shadow framebuffer support, point ri_hwbits
    	 * to the real framebuffer, and ri_bits to the shadow framebuffer
    	 */
    	u_char	*ri_hwbits;
    	/*
    	 * These can optionally be left zeroed out. If you fill ri_font,
    	 * but aren't using wsfont, set ri_wsfcookie to -1.
    	 */
    	struct	wsdisplay_font *ri_font;
    	int	ri_wsfcookie;	/* wsfont cookie */
    	void	*ri_hw;		/* driver private data */
    	int	ri_crow;	/* cursor row */
    	int	ri_ccol;	/* cursor column */
    	int	ri_flg;		/* various operational flags */
    	/*
    	 * These are optional and will default if zero. Meaningless
    	 * on depths other than 15, 16, 24 and 32 bits per pel. On
    	 * 24 bit displays, ri_{r,g,b}num must be 8.
    	 */
    	u_char	ri_rnum;	/* number of bits for red */
    	u_char	ri_gnum;	/* number of bits for green */
    	u_char	ri_bnum;	/* number of bits for blue */
    	u_char	ri_rpos;	/* which bit red starts at */
    	u_char	ri_gpos;	/* which bit green starts at */
    	u_char	ri_bpos;	/* which bit blue starts at */
    	/*
    	 * These are filled in by rasops_init()
    	 */
    	int	ri_emuwidth;	/* width we actually care about */
    	int	ri_emuheight;	/* height we actually care about */
    	int	ri_emustride;	/* bytes per row we actually care about */
    	int	ri_rows;	/* number of rows (characters) */
    	int	ri_cols;	/* number of columns (characters) */
    	int	ri_delta;	/* row delta in bytes */
    	int	ri_pelbytes;	/* bytes per pel (may be zero) */
    	int	ri_fontscale;	/* fontheight * fontstride */
    	int	ri_xscale;	/* fontwidth * pelbytes */
    	int	ri_yscale;	/* fontheight * stride */
    	u_char  *ri_origbits;	/* where screen bits actually start */
    	int	ri_xorigin;	/* where ri_bits begins (x) */
    	int	ri_yorigin;	/* where ri_bits begins (y) */
    	int32_t	ri_devcmap[16]; /* color - framebuffer data */
    	/*
    	 * The emulops you need to use, and the screen caps for wscons
    	 */
    	struct	wsdisplay_emulops ri_ops;
    	int	ri_caps;
    	/*
    	 * Callbacks so we can share some code
    	 */
    	void	(*ri_do_cursor)(struct rasops_info *);
    };

Valid values for the ri_flg member are:

RI_FULLCLEAR
    eraserows() hack to clear full screen
RI_FORCEMONO
    monochrome output even if we can do color
RI_BSWAP
    framebuffer endianness doesn't match CPU
RI_CURSOR
    cursor is switched on
RI_CLEAR
    clear display on startup
RI_CENTER
    center onscreen output
RI_CURSORCLIP
    cursor is currently clipped
RI_CFGDONE
    rasops_reconfig() completed successfully

FUNCTIONS

rasops_init(ri, wantrows, wantcols)
    Initialise a rasops_info descriptor. The arguments wantrows and wantcols are the number of rows and columns we'd like. In terms of optimization, fonts that are a multiple of 8 pixels wide work the best.

rasops_reconfig(ri, wantrows, wantcols)
    Reconfigure a rasops_info descriptor because parameters have changed in some way. The arguments wantrows and wantcols are the number of rows and columns we'd like. If calling rasops_reconfig() to change the font and ri_wsfcookie 0, you must call wsfont_unlock() on it, and reset it to -1 (or a new, valid cookie).
