RASOPS(9)                  Kernel Developer's Manual                 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);

     options RASOPS_DEFAULT_WIDTH=80
     options RASOPS_DEFAULT_HEIGHT=25

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>.

     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
           RI_NO_AUTO           do not generate box drawing characters for ISO
                                fonts.  Use this when it is not safe to
                                allocate memory, for example when setting up
                                an early console.
           RI_ENABLE_ALPHA      the caller supports anti-aliased fonts in the
                                given colour depth.  Without this flag
                                rasops_init() will only pick bitmap fonts.
           RI_8BIT_IS_RGB       the caller uses an R3G3B2 colour map in 8 bit.
                                rasops_init() will generate an appropriate
                                ri_devcmap[] but the caller still needs to set
                                up the actual colour map.

FUNCTIONS
     rasops_init() initialises a rasops_info descriptor.  rasops_reconfig() is
     used to reconfigure it if parameters have changed in some way.

     The arguments wantrows and wantcols are the number of rows and columns
     we'd like.  Passing zero for either one of them uses the default --
     normally 80 by 25 but it can be changed with config options
     RASOPS_DEFAULT_WIDTH and RASOPS_DEFAULT_HEIGHT.

     In terms of optimization, bitmap fonts of width 8 or 16 work the best for
     all depths.  For depths other than 1 the fonts of width 12 are also
     optimized.

     If calling rasops_reconfig() to change the font and ri_wsfcookie is non-
     negative, you must call wsfont_unlock() on it, and reset it to -1 or a
     new, valid cookie.
