Function Documentation

void bfont_draw	(	void *	buffer,
		int	bufwidth,
		int	opaque,
		int	c
	)

Draw a single character to a buffer.

This function draws a single character in the set encoding to the given buffer. Calling this is equivalent to calling bfont_draw_thin() with 0 for the final parameter.

Parameters

buffer	The buffer to draw to (at least 12 x 24 pixels)
bufwidth	The width of the buffer in pixels
opaque	If non-zero, overwrite blank areas with black, otherwise do not change them from what they are
c	The character to draw

void bfont_draw_str	(	void *	buffer,
		int	width,
		int	opaque,
		char *	str
	)

Draw a full string to a buffer.

This function draws a NUL-terminated string in the set encoding to the given buffer. This will automatially handle mixed half and full-width characters if the encoding is set to one of the Japanese encodings.

Parameters

buffer	The buffer to draw to
width	The width of the buffer in pixels
opaque	If non-zero, overwrite blank areas with black, otherwise do not change them from what they are
str	The string to draw

void bfont_draw_thin	(	void *	buffer,
		int	bufwidth,
		int	opaque,
		int	c,
		int	iskana
	)

Draw a single thin character to a buffer.

This function draws a single character in the set encoding to the given buffer. This only works with ISO-8859-1 characters and half-width kana.

Parameters

buffer	The buffer to draw to (at least 12 x 24 pixels)
bufwidth	The width of the buffer in pixels
opaque	If non-zero, overwrite blank areas with black, otherwise do not change them from what they are
c	The character to draw
iskana	Set to 1 if the character is a kana, 0 if ISO-8859-1

void bfont_draw_wide	(	void *	buffer,
		int	bufwidth,
		int	opaque,
		int	c
	)

Draw a single wide character to a buffer.

This function draws a single character in the set encoding to the given buffer. This only works with full-width kana and kanji.

Parameters

buffer	The buffer to draw to (at least 24 x 24 pixels)
bufwidth	The width of the buffer in pixels
opaque	If non-zero, overwrite blank areas with black, otherwise do not change them from what they are
c	The character to draw

uint8* bfont_find_char ( int ch )

Find an ISO-8859-1 character in the font.

This function retrieves a pointer to the font data for the specified character in the font, if its available. Generally, you will not have to use this function, use one of the bfont_draw_* functions instead.

Parameters

ch	The character to look up

Returns: A pointer to the raw character data

uint8* bfont_find_char_jp ( int ch )

Find an full-width Japanese character in the font.

This function retrieves a pointer to the font data for the specified character in the font, if its available. Generally, you will not have to use this function, use one of the bfont_draw_* functions instead.

This function deals with full-width kana and kanji.

Parameters

ch	The character to look up

Returns: A pointer to the raw character data

uint8* bfont_find_char_jp_half ( int ch )

Find an half-width Japanese character in the font.

This function retrieves a pointer to the font data for the specified character in the font, if its available. Generally, you will not have to use this function, use one of the bfont_draw_* functions instead.

This function deals with half-width kana only.

Parameters

ch	The character to look up

Returns: A pointer to the raw character data

int bfont_set_32bit_mode ( int on )

Set the font to draw 32-bit color.

This function changes whether the font draws colors as 32-bit or 16-bit. The default is to use 16-bit.

Parameters

on	Set to 0 to use 16-bit color, 32-bit otherwise.

Returns: The old state (1 = 32-bit, 0 = 16-bit).

uint32 bfont_set_background_color ( uint32 c )

Set the font background color.

This function selects the background color to draw when a pixel is drawn in the font. This color is only used for pixels not covered by the font when you have selected to have the font be opaque.

Parameters

c	The color to use.

Returns: The old background color.

void bfont_set_encoding ( int enc )

Set the font encoding.

This function selects the font encoding that is used for the font. This allows you to select between the various character sets available.

Parameters

enc	The character encoding in use

See also: BFONT_CODE_ISO8859_1; BFONT_CODE_EUC; BFONT_CODE_SJIS

uint32 bfont_set_foreground_color ( uint32 c )

Set the font foreground color.

This function selects the foreground color to draw when a pixel is opaque in the font. The value passed in for the color should be in whatever pixel format that you intend to use for the image produced.

Parameters

c	The color to use.

Returns: The old foreground color.
