gl_trisetdrawpoint(3) Svgalib User Manual gl_trisetdrawpoint(3)
NAME
gl_trisetdrawpoint - set a triangle drawing function
SYNOPSIS
#include <triangle.h>
void gl_trisetdrawpoint(void (setpixelfunc) (int x, int y,
int color) );
DESCRIPTION
If this function is called with setpixelfunc non-zero,
then the function setpixelfunc is used from there after to
draw each pixel (instead of the usual direct screen buffer
writes).
This function need never be used, except if you want to
use your own pixel drawing function for extra effects. If
you use this feature, you can be assured that none of the
triangle routines will access the hardware, enabling
portability to other environments.
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
The functions are defined in the tri.o and triangl.o files
(or their resp. sources) which you must link to your pro-
gram.
