The +.BR libparsepcf_get_bitmaps () +function will store the number of available +glyphs in +.IR meta_out->glyph_count , +which shall be used to check that all glyphs +have a bitmap recorded. The +.BR libparsepcf_get_bitmaps () +function will store information needed to decode +the bitmap in +.IR *meta_out . +.PP +Then the +.BR libparsepcf_get_bitmap_offsets () +function can be used to get offset from +.I meta_out->bitmap_data +where the bitmap for each glyph is stored. +The first four arguments shall be the +same as with +.BR libparsepcf_get_bitmaps (). +.I first +shall be the index of the glyph with the lowest index +of the glyph the function shall get the bitmap offset +for, and +.I count +shall be the number of consecutive glyphs +(including the first glyph) to get this information +for. For each queried glyph with index +.IR i , +the bitmap offset will be stored in +.IR offsets_out[i-first] . +.PP +The application shall ensure that +.IR "first + count <= meta->glyph_count" . +.PP +Note that glyph indices are not the same as character +codepoints. See +.BR libparsepcf_get_encoding (3) +for details about mapping characters to glyphs. +.PP +The be able to interpret a glyph's bitmap, it's ink +metrics must also be acquired. The +.BR libparsepcf_get_metrics (3) +function is used to get a glyph's ink metrics. The +ink metrics describe the boundaries of the bitmap, +but the +.BR libparsepcf_get_bitmaps () +function returns encoding information. The bitmap +encodes the glyph row by row, from top to bottom, +at the end of each row, padding is inserted into +the bitmap to align the beginning of the next row +in the bitmap. It is always padded to a number of +two bytes, specified in +.IR meta_out->row_padding . +For each row, the cells are encoded from left to +right, there are three fields in +.I meta_out +that affect the order of the bits. For example, +the bits can be group in bytes, dual-byte words or +quad-byte words. The number of bytes in each group +is specified in +.IR meta_out->bit_packing , +which is always a power of two and no greater than +.IR meta_out->row_padding , +and each these units are intepreted as unsigned integers, +that are either encoded in big endian (most significant +byte first) or little endian (least significant +byte first). +.I meta_out->msbyte_first +will either be 0 or 1. If 0, these units are encoded +in little endian; if 1 these units are encoded in +big endian. Once a unit as been interpreted as in +unsigned integer, its bits can be inspected to +determine the value of each cell the unit covers, +the cells are order from left to right, but the +bits either ordered from least significant to most +significant or from most significant to least +significant, and for each set bit the corresponding +cell is inked and for each cleared bit the +corresponding cell is uninked. +.I meta_out->msbit_first +is used to determine the bit order; it will either +be 0 or 1. If 0, the bits are ordered from least +significant to most significant; if 1, the bits are +ordered from most significant to least significant. + +.SH RETURN VALUE +The +.BR libparsepcf_get_bitmaps () +and +.BR libparsepcf_get_bitmap_offsets () +functions return 0 upon successful completion. +On failure, -1 is returned and +.I errno +is set appropriately to indicate the error. + +.SH ERRORS +The +.BR libparsepcf_get_bitmaps () +and +.BR libparsepcf_get_bitmap_offsets () +functions fail if: +.TP +.B EBFONT +The font file is corrupt or unsupported. + +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR libparsepcf (7), +.BR libparsepcf_preparse_font (3) -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
