gl_striangle(3)        Svgalib User Manual        gl_striangle(3)

NAME
       gl_striangle - draw a solid colored triangle

SYNOPSIS
       #include <triangle.h>

       void gl_striangle(int x0, int y0, int x1, int y1 , int x2,
       int y2, int color, int bf);

DESCRIPTION
       Draws a  non-interpolated  (solid)  triangle  between  the
       three points 0, 1 and 2 with the color color.

       The  bf  value is used to tell the routine not to draw the
       triangle if it is facing the other way.   bf  tells  which
       way  the triangle should be facing to be drawn.  since you
       will more than likely require both combinations.

       bf = 0 disables  drawing  when  the  points  are  arranged
       clockwise,  bf  =  1  disables drawing when the points are
       arranged counter clockwise.  bf = -1 will probably  always
       draw the triangle.

       Beware,  these  functions  are  not  a  direct part of the
       svgalib library.  Instead their source is part of  svgalib
       and  can  be  found  in the threeDkit/ subdirectory of the
       original  svgalib  distribution.  However,   it   is   not
       installed  in  the  system  by default, s.t. it is unclear
       where you can find it if your  svgalib  was  installed  by
       some linux distribution.

       In case of any such problem, simply get an svgalib distri-
       bution from the net. Yo don't need  to  install  it.  Just
       make  in  the threeDkit/ subdirectory. As of this writing,
       svgalib-1.2.12.tar.gz is the latest  version  and  can  be
       retrieved     by     ftp     from    sunsite.unc.edu    at
       /pub/Linux/libs/graphics     and     tsx-11.mit.edu     at
       /pub/linux/sources/libs  which  will most probably be mir-
       rored by a site close to you.

       The functions are defined in the tri.o and triangl.o files
       (or  their resp. sources) which you must link to your pro-
       gram.
