The file name usually has an extension .DGN. The driver + supports only MicroStation version 4.0 or later. The format's copyrights are property of + <a href="http://www.bentley.com" target="_top">Bentley Systems</a>.</p> + +<h3>Use</h3> + + <p>The file is created and opened by calling function <font face="Courier"> + <a href="../func/init.html#cdCreateCanvas"><strong>cdCreateCanvas</strong></a>(CD_DGN, + Data)</font>, in which <font face="Courier">Data</font> contains the filename and canvas dimensions. This function + opens the file and writes its header. Then, other functions in the CD library can be called as usual. The + <font face="Courier">Data</font> parameter string has the following format:</p> + + <pre><em>"filename [widthxheight] [resolution] [-f] [-sseedfile]" </em>or in C <em>"<strong><tt>%s %gx%g %g %s</tt></strong>"</em></pre> + + <p>Only the parameter <font face="Courier">filename</font> is required. The filename must be inside double quotes (") + if it has spaces.<font face="Courier"> Width</font> and <font face="Courier">height</font> are provided in millimeters + (note the lowercase "x" between them), and their default value in pixels is <font face="Courier">INT_MAX</font> for + both dimensions. <font face="Courier">Resolution </font>is the number of pixels per millimeter; its default value is + "3.78 pixels/mm" (96 DPI). <font face="Courier">Width</font>, <font face="Courier">height</font> and + <font face="Courier">resolution</font> are real values. Parameter <font face="Courier">-f</font> modifies the polygon + filling's behavior. Just as in MicroStation, you can specify a seed file using parameter <font face="Courier">-s</font>. + <font face="Courier">Width</font>, <font face="Courier">height</font> and <font face="Courier">resolution</font> are + used only by <a href="../func/coordinates.html#cdGetCanvasSize"> + <font face="Courier"><strong>cdCanvasGetSize</strong></font></a><font face="Courier"><strong> </strong></font>and in + pixel-millimeter conversion. </p> + <p>Any amount of such canvases may exist simultaneously. It is important to note that a call to function + <a href="../func/init.html#cdKillCanvas"><font face="Courier"><strong> + cdKillCanvas</strong></font></a> is required to close the file properly.</p> + <p><b>Images and Colors</b> - The DGN format does not support server images and works with an indexed-color format. + Color quality is limited to 256 colors, and the format uses a uniform palette to convert RGB colors into palette + indices. If you configure a palette, the color conversion process will become slower.</p> + <p><b>Filling</b> - Up to version 5.0, MicroStation presents some limitations for polygon filling. You can disable + filling by means of string "<font face="Courier">-f</font>" in the <font face="Courier">Data</font> parameter. Filled + polygons can only have around 10,000 vertices; if the value is larger, the polygon style changes to closed lines.</p> + <p><b>Seed</b> - In the seed file, several DGN parameters can be defined to be used in the drawing. The library offers + a default seed file, called "SEED2D.DGN". The file's location depends on the environment variable <strong>CDDIR</strong>.</p> + +<h3>Behavior of Functions</h3> +<h4>Control</h4> +<ul> + <li><a href="../func/control.html#cdClear"><font face="Courier"><strong>Clear</strong></font></a>: + does nothing.</li> + <li><a href="../func/other.html#cdPlay"><font face="Courier"><strong>Play</strong></font></a>: + does nothing, returns <font face="Courier">CD_ERROR</font>. </li> +</ul> +<h4>Coordinate System and Clipping </h4> +<ul> + <li><a href="../func/clipping.html#cdClip"><font face="Courier"><strong>Clip</strong></font></a>: + does nothing (no clipping function is supported), returns <font face="Courier">CD_CLIPOFF</font>.</li> + <li><a href="../func/coordinates.html#cdUpdateYAxis"><font face="Courier"> + <strong>UpdateYAxis</strong></font></a>: does nothing.
