## Introduction

This is a combination of tutorial and reference guide for writing new device layers for `libwmf`.

Since no two graphics interfaces are identical, the task of the IPA (the interface between the interpreter and the device layer) is to simplify the task of translating the metafile drawing commands. (It cannot be denied that there is still considerable room for improvement.)

When writing a new device layer you will need to include the following headers:

    #include <libwmf/ipa.h>
    #include <libwmf/defs.h>

The former includes the API declarations as well as the IPA declarations, while the latter defines metafile constants.

## Types

wmfRGB | wmfBMP | wmfBrush | wmfPen | wmfFont | wmfDC | wmfFlood_t | wmfDrawPixel_t | wmfDrawArc_t | wmfDrawLine_t | wmfPolyLine_t | wmfDrawRectangle_t | wmfPolyRectangle_t | wmfBMP_Read_t | wmfBMP_Draw_t | wmfROP_Draw_t | wmfDrawText_t | wmfUserData_t | wmfCharDrawer

- wmfRGB

      typedef struct _wmfRGB wmfRGB;

      struct _wmfRGB
      {	unsigned char r;
      	unsigned char g;
      	unsigned char b;
      };

  `wmfRGB` describes a color, with `r = g = b = 255` corresponding to white and `r = g = b = 0` corresponding to black.

- wmfBMP

      typedef struct _wmfBMP wmfBMP;

      struct _wmfBMP
      {	U16 width;
      	U16 height;

      	void* data;
      };

  Container for a bitmap, of dimensions `width` and `height`. If non-zero, `data` is a pointer to an internal representation of the bitmap. The interpreter does not reference `data` and will not attempt to draw a bitmap if `data` is zero; however, a bitmap brush pattern may be set even though `data` is zero. (`data=0` indicates either that the device layer has no support for bitmaps or that the bitmap is corrupt or unreadable.)

- wmfBrush

      typedef struct _wmfBrush wmfBrush;

      struct _wmfBrush
      {	U16 lbStyle;
      	U16 lbHatch;

      	wmfRGB lbColor;
      	wmfBMP bmp;
      };

  `wmfBrush` is one element of the current drawing context. `lbStyle` is one of the following:

      /* Brush Styles */
      #define BS_SOLID            0
      #define BS_NULL             1
      #define BS_HOLLOW     BS_NULL
      #define BS_HATCHED          2
      #define BS_PATTERN          3
      #define BS_INDEXED          4
      #define BS_DIBPATTERN       5
      #define BS_DIBPATTERNPT     6
      #define BS_PATTERN8X8       7
      #define BS_DIBPATTERN8X8    8

  where `BS_NULL` indicates that no brush is set. If `lbStyle=BS_HATCHED` then the brush has the pattern, specified by `lbHatch` which is one of:

      /* Hatch Styles */
      #define HS_HORIZONTAL       0       /* ----- */
      #define HS_VERTICAL         1       /* ||||| */
      #define HS_FDIAGONAL        2       /* \\\\\ */
      #define HS_BDIAGONAL        3       /* ///// */
      #define HS_CROSS            4       /* +++++ */
      #define HS_DIAGCROSS        5       /* xxxxx */

  If `lbStyle=BS_HATCHED` or `lbStyle=BS_SOLID` then the foreground color of the brush is `lbColor`. Otherwise, if the brush is a bitmap, ensure that `bmp.data` is non-zero.

  The following macros should be used to retrieve the above info.:

      #include <libwmf/macro.h>

      /* WMF_BRUSH_STYLE(wmfBrush* B) -> (U16) brush style
       * WMF_BRUSH_HATCH(wmfBrush* B) -> (U16) brush hatch style
       *
       * WMF_BRUSH_COLOR(wmfBrush* B) -> (wmfRGB*) brush color
       *
       * WMF_BRUSH_BITMAP(wmfBrush* B) -> (wmfBMP*) brush bitmap
       */
      #define WMF_BRUSH_STYLE(B)  ((B)->lbStyle)
      #define WMF_BRUSH_HATCH(B)  ((B)->lbHatch)

      #define WMF_BRUSH_COLOR(B)  (&((B)->lbColor))

      #define WMF_BRUSH_BITMAP(B) (&((B)->bmp))

- wmfPen

      typedef struct _wmfPen wmfPen;

      struct _wmfPen
      {	U16 lopnStyle;

      	double width;
      	double height;

      	wmfRGB lopnColor;
      };

  `wmfPen` is one element of the current drawing context. The nib has dimensions `width` and `height` and color `lopnColor`. `lopnStyle` contains style information on the line itself, on the ends, on the joins, and on the type:

      #define PS_STYLE_MASK       0x0000000F
      #define PS_ENDCAP_MASK      0x00000F00
      #define PS_JOIN_MASK        0x0000F000
      #define PS_TYPE_MASK        0x000F0000

  `lopnStyle & PS_STYLE_MASK` is one of:

      #define PS_SOLID            0
      #define PS_DASH             1       /* -------  */
      #define PS_DOT              2       /* .......  */
      #define PS_DASHDOT          3       /* _._._._  */
      #define PS_DASHDOTDOT       4       /* _.._.._  */
      #define PS_NULL             5
      #define PS_INSIDEFRAME      6
      #define PS_USERSTYLE        7
      #define PS_ALTERNATE        8

  where PS_NULL indicates that no pen has been set. `lopnStyle & PS_ENDCAP_MASK` is one of:

      #define PS_ENDCAP_ROUND     0x00000000
      #define PS_ENDCAP_SQUARE    0x00000100
      #define PS_ENDCAP_FLAT      0x00000200

  and `lopnStyle & PS_JOIN_MASK` is one of:

      #define PS_JOIN_ROUND       0x00000000
      #define PS_JOIN_BEVEL       0x00001000
      #define PS_JOIN_MITER       0x00002000

  Finally, `lopnStyle & PS_TYPE_MASK` is one of:

      #define PS_COSMETIC         0x00000000
      #define PS_GEOMETRIC        0x00010000

  The following macros should be used to retrieve the above info.:

      #include <libwmf/macro.h>

      /* WMF_PEN_STYLE(wmfPen* P)  -> (U16) pen style
       * WMF_PEN_ENDCAP(wmfPen* P) -> (U16) endcap style
       * WMF_PEN_JOIN(wmfPen* P)   -> (U16) join style
       * WMF_PEN_TYPE(wmfPen* P)   -> (U16) `type' of pen (??)
       *
       * WMF_PEN_WIDTH(wmfPen* P)  -> (double) pen `width'  (thickness w.r.t. x-axis)
       * WMF_PEN_HEIGHT(wmfPen* P) -> (double) pen `height' (thickness w.r.t. y-axis)
       *
       * WMF_PEN_COLOR(wmfPen* P) -> (wmfRGB*) pen color
       */
      #define WMF_PEN_STYLE(P)  ((P)->lopnStyle & PS_STYLE_MASK)
      #define WMF_PEN_ENDCAP(P) ((P)->lopnStyle & PS_ENDCAP_MASK)
      #define WMF_PEN_JOIN(P)   ((P)->lopnStyle & PS_JOIN_MASK)
      #define WMF_PEN_TYPE(P)   ((P)->lopnStyle & PS_TYPE_MASK)

      #define WMF_PEN_WIDTH(P)  ((P)->width)
      #define WMF_PEN_HEIGHT(P) ((P)->height)

      #define WMF_PEN_COLOR(P)  (&((P)->lopnColor))

- wmfFont

      typedef struct _wmfFont wmfFont;

      struct _wmfFont
      {	U16 lfHeight;
      	U16 lfWidth;

      	S16 lfEscapement;
      	S16 lfOrientation;

      	U16 lfWeight;

      	U8 lfItalic;
      	U8 lfUnderline;
      	U8 lfStrikeOut;
      	U8 lfCharSet;
      	U8 lfOutPrecision;
      	U8 lfClipPrecision;
      	U8 lfQuality;
      	U8 lfPitchAndFamily;

      	char* lfFaceName;

      	char* ps_name;

      	FT_Face ft_face;
      };

  `wmfFont` is one element of the current drawing context. Of all of this, the most important elements are `ps_name` (the postscript font name) and `ft_face`, the freetype (2) font face for which bold and italics have already been determined.

  The following macros should be used to retrieve the above info.:

      #include <libwmf/macro.h>

      /* WMF_TEXT_ANGLE(wmfFont* F) -> (double) text angle in radians
       *
       * WMF_TEXT_UNDERLINE(wmfFont* F) -> (U8) ?? whether to underline (?? how thick)
       * WMF_TEXT_STRIKEOUT(wmfFont* F) -> (U8) ?? whether to strikeout (?? how thick)
       *
       * WMF_FONT_NAME(wmfFont* F)   -> (char*) font name supplied by metafile
       * WMF_FONT_PSNAME(wmfFont* F) -> (char*) font name to use in postscript output
       * WMF_FONT_FTFACE(wmfFont* F) -> (FT_Face) freetype(2) font face
       */
      #define WMF_TEXT_ANGLE(F)     ((((double) (F)->lfEscapement) / 10) * M_PI / 180)

      #define WMF_TEXT_UNDERLINE(F) ((F)->lfUnderline)
      #define WMF_TEXT_STRIKEOUT(F) ((F)->lfStrikeOut)

      #define WMF_FONT_NAME(F)   ((F)->lfFaceName)
      #define WMF_FONT_PSNAME(F) ((F)->ps_name)
      #define WMF_FONT_FTFACE(F) ((F)->ft_face)

- wmfDC

      typedef struct _wmfDC wmfDC;

      struct _wmfDC
      {	void* userdata;

      	wmfBrush* brush;
      	wmfPen* pen;
      	wmfFont* font;

      	int key;     /* Is this used ?? */

      	wmfDC* next; /* Is this used ?? */

      	wmfRGB textcolor;
      	wmfRGB bgcolor;

      	U16 textalign;
      	U16 bgmode;
      	U16 polyfillmode;
      	U16 charextra;
      	U16 breakextra;

      	U16 ROPmode;

      	struct
      	{	S32 Ox;
      		S32 Oy;
      		S32 width;
      		S32 height;
      	} Window;

      	double pixel_width; /* Display pixel dimensions (inches) */
      	double pixel_height;

      	U16 map_mode;

      	void* clip;
      };

  Still very much a work in progress, especially with regard to the drawing context `wmfDC`; there is much in this structure that is (or should be) irrelevant to the IPA.

  See wmfBrush, wmfPen and wmfFont. `textcolor` is the color to draw text, `bgcolor` is the background color (generally, as well as with text) unless `bgmode=TRANSPARENT`, in which case there is no background. `bgmode` is one of:

      #define TRANSPARENT         1
      #define OPAQUE              2
      #define BKMODE_LAST         2

  The following macros should be used to retrieve the above info.:

      #include <libwmf/macro.h>

      /* WMF_DC_BRUSH(wmfDC* C) -> (wmfBrush*) current brush
       * WMF_DC_PEN(wmfDC* C)   -> (wmfPen*)   current pen
       * WMF_DC_FONT(wmfDC* C)  -> (wmfFont*)  current font
       *
       * WMF_DC_TEXTCOLOR(wmfDC* C)  -> (wmfRGB*) text color
       * WMF_DC_BACKGROUND(wmfDC* C) -> (wmfRGB*) background color
       *

       *
       * WMF_DC_ROP(wmfDC* C) -> (U16) ROP mode
       */
      #define WMF_DC_BRUSH(C)      ((C)->brush)
      #define WMF_DC_PEN(C)        ((C)->pen)
      #define WMF_DC_FONT(C)       ((C)->font)

      #define WMF_DC_TEXTCOLOR(C)  (&((C)->textcolor))
      #define WMF_DC_BACKGROUND(C) (&((C)->bgcolor))

      #define WMF_DC_OPAQUE(C)     ((C)->bgmode - 1)

      #define WMF_DC_POLYFILL(C)   ((C)->polyfillmode)

      #define WMF_DC_ROP(C)        ((C)->ROPmode)

- wmfFlood_t

      typedef struct _wmfFlood_t wmfFlood_t;

      struct _wmfFlood_t
      {	wmfDC* dc;

      	wmfD_Coord pt;
      	wmfRGB color;

      	U16 type;

      	double pixel_width;
      	double pixel_height;
      };

  Flood-fill region with color `color`, starting at point `pt`. Since this is almost certainly not a vector operation, the pixel width and height are given (and are probably best ignored...). `type` is one of:

      #define  FLOODFILLBORDER    0
      #define  FLOODFILLSURFACE   1

- wmfDrawPixel_t

      typedef struct _wmfDrawPixel_t wmfDrawPixel_t;

      struct _wmfDrawPixel_t
      {	wmfDC* dc;

      	wmfD_Coord pt;
      	wmfRGB color;

      	double pixel_width;
      	double pixel_height;
      };

  Set pixel at point `pt` to color `color`. The pixel width and height are given.

- wmfDrawArc_t

      typedef struct _wmfDrawArc_t wmfDrawArc_t;

      struct _wmfDrawArc_t
      {	wmfDC* dc;

      	wmfD_Coord TL;
      	wmfD_Coord BR;

      	wmfD_Coord start; /* draw_ellipse: (ignored) */
      	wmfD_Coord end;
      };

  Draw a complete or partial ellipse. `TL` and `BR` are the coordinates of the top left and bottom right of the ellipse's bounding box respectively. If incomplete, then `start` and `end` give the start and end coordinates of the arc.

- wmfDrawLine_t

      typedef struct _wmfDrawLine_t wmfDrawLine_t;

      struct _wmfDrawLine_t
      {	wmfDC* dc;

      	wmfD_Coord from;
      	wmfD_Coord to;
      };

  Draw line from point `from` to point `to`.

- wmfPolyLine_t

      typedef struct _wmfPolyLine_t wmfPolyLine_t;

      struct _wmfPolyLine_t
      {	wmfDC* dc;

      	wmfD_Coord* pt;

      	U16 count;
      };

  An array (of length `count`) of points `pt[]`. This may be used to describe polygons as well as line sequences.

- wmfDrawRectangle_t

      typedef struct _wmfDrawRectangle_t wmfDrawRectangle_t;

      struct _wmfDrawRectangle_t
      {	wmfDC* dc;

      	wmfD_Coord TL;
      	wmfD_Coord BR;

      	float width; /* draw_rectangle: axes of corner ellipses; zero if un-rounded */
      	float height;
      };

  A rectangle, possibly with rounded corners - in which case `width` and `height` give the elliptic axes of the rectangle's corners.

- wmfPolyRectangle_t

      typedef struct _wmfPolyRectangle_t wmfPolyRectangle_t;

      struct _wmfPolyRectangle_t
      {	wmfDC* dc;

      	wmfD_Coord* TL; /* region_frame & region_paint: TL[count],BR[count] give the */
      	wmfD_Coord* BR; /* final `extents'... */

      	unsigned int count;

      	float width;  /* region_frame: border thickness; zero otherwise */
      	float height;
      };

  Used by region and clip calls, `wmfPolyRectangle_t` is used to describe multiple rectangles, whose top left and bottom right corners are given by the `TL` and `BR` arrays respectively. These arrays are of length `count` in the case of clip calls, and of length `count` + 1 in the case of the region calls, the extra element containing the overall bounding box (the region extents). In the case of `region_frame`, `width` and `height` give the thickness of the frame.

- wmfBMP_Read_t

      typedef struct _wmfBMP_Read_t wmfBMP_Read_t;

      struct _wmfBMP_Read_t          /* Two means available for accessing BMP image:        */
      {	long offset;           /* (1) position in source file of start of BMP;        *
                                      * use API->bbuf.seek to set pos(ition), etc.          */
      	long length;           /* (2) buffer of length length containing image of BMP */
      	unsigned char* buffer;

      	U16 width;  /* WMF player may preset these values; zero otherwise. */
      	U16 height; /* Use caution - may be buggy... ?? [TODO]             */

      	wmfBMP bmp;
      };

  There are two ways to read a bitmap presented by `libwmf`: the first is to read it directly from the input stream using the internal stream functions:

      /* Macro-wrappers for stream functions:
       * (int)  WMF_READ ((wmfAPI*) API)                 - returns unsigned char cast to int, or EOF
       * (int)  WMF_SEEK ((wmfAPI*) API,(long) position) - returns (-1) on error, else 0
       * (long) WMF_TELL ((wmfAPI*) API)                 - returns (-1) on error, else current position
       */

  where the bitmap starts at offset `offset`; the second (which is preferred) is to use the buffer `buffer` of length `length`.

  To complicate matters, the bitmap's data may be truncated so that the bitmap's header is incorrect - `width` and `height` give the real dimensions of the bitmap.

  The bitmap's width and height should be entered into `bmp` (see wmfBMP above) as well as a pointer to the bitmap data (which can be in any format you choose; the library does not need to know).

- wmfBMP_Draw_t

      typedef struct _wmfBMP_Draw_t wmfBMP_Draw_t;

      struct _wmfBMP_Draw_t
      {	wmfDC* dc;

      	wmfD_Coord pt;
      	wmfBMP bmp;

      	U32 type;

      	struct
      	{	U16 x;
      		U16 y;
      		U16 w;
      		U16 h;
      	} crop;

      	double pixel_width;
      	double pixel_height;
      };

  In contrast to earlier versions, `libwmf` no longer makes any attempt to crop or scale the bitmap. Instead the crop data are presented to the device layer to use as it sees fit, and the pixel width and height as well. The bitmap referenced by `bmp` (see wmfBMP above) is to be drawn at point `pt`.

  TODO: info on `type`

- wmfROP_Draw_t

      typedef struct _wmfROP_Draw_t wmfROP_Draw_t;

      struct _wmfROP_Draw_t
      {	wmfDC* dc;

      	wmfD_Coord TL;
      	wmfD_Coord BR;

      	U32 ROP;

      	double pixel_width;
      	double pixel_height;
      };

  TODO:

- wmfDrawText_t

      typedef struct _wmfDrawText_t wmfDrawText_t;

      struct _wmfDrawText_t
      {	wmfDC* dc;

      	wmfD_Coord pt;

      	wmfD_Coord TL; /* Clip zone */
      	wmfD_Coord BR;

      	struct /* An estimated surround zone */
      	{	wmfD_Coord TL;
      		wmfD_Coord TR;
      		wmfD_Coord BL;
      		wmfD_Coord BR;
      	} bbox;

      	char* str;

      	U16 flags;

      	double font_height;
      	double font_ratio;  /* width to height ratio */
      };

  Fonts and text are triiicky! Fortunately `libwmf` tries to do most of the work. As such text justification is taken care of by the interpreter, and fonts (bold, italic, etc.) are selected elsewhere. The emphasis with `wmfDrawText_t` is therefore the rendering of text.

  The text can be assumed to be left-justified, starting at point `pt`. `TL` and `BR` are the corners of a clip rectangle. `bbox` gives four corners of rectangle - an estimate of the background zone. `str` is the text to draw; `font_height` is the height of the font and `font_ratio` is how much to stretch the font width-wise. The values for `flags` are:

      #define ETO_OPAQUE          0x0002
      #define ETO_CLIPPED         0x0004
      #define ETO_GLYPH_INDEX     0x0010
      #define ETO_RTLREADING      0x0080

- wmfUserData_t

      typedef struct _wmfUserData_t wmfUserData_t;

      struct _wmfUserData_t	/* TODO: Need to be careful with usage here; not all these are set by the player! */
      {	wmfDC* dc;          /* dc is guaranteed */

      	void* data;         /* data also, except for init */
      };

  Redundant; may be removed at some point...

- wmfCharDrawer

      typedef void (*wmfCharDrawer) (wmfAPI*,wmfDrawText_t*);

## IPA Function Reference

Let us assume that you are writing a device layer called mydev, then the first requirement is an initialization function:

    #include <libwmf/ipa.h>

The initialization function has two purposes, the first being to establish the links that create the IPA by pointing the function reference variables to your own drawing functions:

    #include <libwmf/ipa.h>
    #include <libwmf/defs.h>
    #include <libwmf/mydev.h>

    void wmf_mydev_function (wmfAPI* API)
    {	wmfFunctionReference* FR = (wmfFunctionReference*) API->function_reference;

    	FR->device_open  = wmf_mydev_device_open;
    	FR->device_close = wmf_mydev_device_close;
    	FR->device_begin = wmf_mydev_device_begin;
    	FR->device_end   = wmf_mydev_device_end;
    	/* etc. */

    	/* */
    }

    void wmf_mydev_device_open (wmfAPI* API)
    {	/* */
    }

    /* etc. */

The second purpose of the initialization function is to allocate the device's data structure, set the device parameters to default values if necessary, and then to attach the data to the `API->device_data` hook.

    /* */

    typedef struct _wmf_mydev_t wmf_mydev_t;

    struct _wmf_mydev_t
    {	/* */

    	unsigned long flags;
    }

    void wmf_mydev_function (wmfAPI* API)
    {	wmfFunctionReference* FR = (wmfFunctionReference*) API->function_reference;

    	wmf_mydev_t* ddata = 0;

    	FR->device_open  = wmf_mydev_device_open;
    	/* etc. */

    	API->device_data = wmf_malloc (API,sizeof (wmf_mydev_t));

    	if (API->err != wmf_E_None) return; /* insufficient memory? */

    	ddata = (wmf_mydev_t*) API->device_data;

    	/* */

    	ddata->flags = 0;
    }

    /* */

## IPA Functions

The IPA functions are called by `wmf_play ()`, the only exception being `device_close` which is called by `wmf_api_destroy ()` - and then only if `device_open` has been called by `wmf_play ()`.

`device_open` is called the first time (and only the first time) `wmf_play ()` is called, and is the very first IPA function to be called, just as `device_close` will be the very last.

At the beginning of each play cycle (i.e., each call to `wmf_play ()`) `device_begin` is called (after `device_open` if it is the first cycle), and at the end of each cycle `device_end` is called. The metafile graphics use other IPA functions.

`device_open`, `device_begin`, `device_end` and `device_close` should be written so that `wmf_play ()` can be called repeatedly.

The names of the functions are not important. The generic names are used below:

device_open | device_close | device_begin | device_end | flood_interior | flood_exterior | draw_pixel | draw_pie | draw_chord | draw_arc | draw_ellipse | draw_line | poly_line | draw_polygon | draw_rectangle | rop_draw | bmp_draw | bmp_read | bmp_free | draw_text | udata_init | udata_copy | udata_set | udata_free | region_frame | region_paint | region_clip

- device_open

      void device_open (wmfAPI*);

  `device_open` is the very first IPA function to be called. It is called only once, the first time `wmf_play ()` is called.

- device_close

      void device_close (wmfAPI*);

  `device_close` is the very last IPA function to be called. It is called by `wmf_api_destroy ()`, and only if `device_open` has been called earlier.

- device_begin

      void device_begin (wmfAPI*);

  `device_begin` is the first IPA function called from `wmf_play ()` (with the exception of `device_open` the first time `wmf_play ()` is called).

- device_end

      void device_end (wmfAPI*);

  `device_end` is the last IPA function called from `wmf_play ()`.

- flood_interior

      void flood_interior (wmfAPI*,wmfFlood_t*);

      void draw_line (wmfAPI*,wmfDrawLine_t*);

- poly_line

      void poly_line (wmfAPI*,wmfPolyLine_t*);

      void rop_draw (wmfAPI*,wmfROP_Draw_t*);

  TODO:

- bmp_draw

      void bmp_draw (wmfAPI*,wmfBMP_Draw_t*);

  Note: Unless you're feeling masochistic and want to write, or re-write, your own suite of functions for the reading, writing and general manipulation of bitmaps, you should defer this to `libwmf`'s built-in support which is adapted from `ImageMagick`'s excellent BMP coder.

  See section on bitmaps below.

- bmp_read

      void bmp_read (wmfAPI*,wmfBMP_Read_t*);

  Note: Unless you're feeling masochistic and want to write, or re-write, your own suite of functions for the reading, writing and general manipulation of bitmaps, you should defer this to `libwmf`'s built-in support which is adapted from `ImageMagick`'s excellent BMP coder.

      void bmp_read (wmfAPI* API,wmfBMP_Read_t* bmp_read)
      {	wmf_ipa_bmp_read (API,bmp_read);
      }

- bmp_free

      void bmp_free (wmfAPI*,wmfBMP*);

  Note: Unless you're feeling masochistic and want to write, or re-write, your own suite of functions for the reading, writing and general manipulation of bitmaps, you should defer this to `libwmf`'s built-in support which is adapted from `ImageMagick`'s excellent BMP coder.

      void bmp_free (wmfAPI* API,wmfBMP* bmp)
      {	wmf_ipa_bmp_free (API,bmp);
      }

- draw_text

      void draw_text (wmfAPI*,wmfDrawText_t*);

  If desired, strings can be decomposed into individual chars using `wmf_ipa_draw_text ()`. Best to see source for the various device layers in `libwmf`.

- udata_init

      void udata_init (wmfAPI*,wmfUserData_t*);

  Redundant; may be removed at some point...

- udata_copy

      void udata_copy (wmfAPI*,wmfUserData_t*);

  Redundant; may be removed at some point...

- region_paint

      void region_paint (wmfAPI*,wmfPolyRectangle_t*);

- region_clip

      void region_clip (wmfAPI*,wmfPolyRectangle_t*);

  If the number of clip rectangles is zero, the current clip region should be unset.

## Compiling - The Distribution

The section applies only if you are working on the `libwmf` sources.

The build system uses automake and autoconf. If any changes are made to any of the various `Makefile.am` files, or to `configure.in` or `libwmf.m4`, then the build system will need to be updated. Change to the top source directory (containing `configure.in` and `libwmf.m4`) and:

    # aclocal
    # automake
    # autoheader
    # autoconf
    # date > stamp-h.in

When adding a new device layer, `include/libwmf/Makefile.am` and `src/ipa/Makefile.am` will need to be modifiled. Source files (`src/ipa/new.c`) and installing header files (`include/libwmf/new.h`) do not need to be added to the distribution, but other headers (`src/ipa/new.h` & `src/ipa/new/*.h`) will.
