<h2>GDI Base Driver</h2>
<p>This driver represents a base driver for all system-dependent drivers implemented in the Microsoft Windows system.
The implementation uses Win32 API graphics functions, the GDI. The driver works better in Windows NT, but it may also
work in Windows 9x/Me.</p>
<h3>Behavior of Functions</h3>
<h4>Control </h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="../func/control.html#cdFlush"><font face="Courier"><strong>Flush</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/coordinates.html#cdUpdateYAxis"><font face="Courier">
<strong>UpdateYAxis</strong></font></a>: the orientation of axis Y is the opposite to its orientation in the CD
library.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Primitives</h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="../func/text.html#cdText"><font face="Courier"><strong>Text</strong></font></a>:
when Write Mode is <strong><tt>XOR</tt></strong> or <strong><tt>NOT_XOR</tt></strong>, the XOR effect is simulated
using bitmaps.</li>
<li><font face="Courier"><strong><a href="../func/lines.html#cdLine">Line</a></strong></font>:
needs to draw an extra pixel in the final position.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Attributes </h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="../func/attributes.html#cdWriteMode"><font face="Courier">
<strong>
WriteMode</strong></font></a>: for the client and server image functions, the mode <strong><tt>NOT_XOR</tt></strong>
works as <strong><tt>XOR</tt></strong>.</li>
<li><a href="../func/filled.html#cdStipple"><font face="Courier"><strong>
Stipple</strong></font></a>: is always opaque. If not in Windows NT and if <font face="Courier">width</font> or
<font face="Courier">height</font> are greater than 8, the stipple is simulated using non-regular Windows clipping
regions and bitmaps. The simulation is made when filled boxes, sectors and polygons are drawn.</li>
<li><a href="../func/filled.html#cdPattern"><font face="Courier"><strong>
Pattern</strong></font></a>: If not in Windows NT and if <font face="Courier">width</font> or <font face="Courier">
height</font> are greater than 8, the pattern is simulated using non-regular Windows clipping regions and bitmaps. The
simulation is made when filled boxes, sectors and polygons are drawn.</li>
<li><a href="../func/lines.html#cdLineWidth"><font face="Courier"><strong>
TextAlignment</strong></font></a>: the vertical alignment of CD_CENTER, CD_EAST, CD_WEST is manually calculated.</li>
<li><a href="../func/lines.html#cdLineWidth"><font face="Courier"><strong>
LineWidth</strong></font></a>: If not in Windows NT line width is always 1. If line width is 1, then a cosmetic pen
is used for fast drawing.</li>
<li><font face="Courier"><strong><a href="../func/lines.html#cdLineStyle">
LineStyle</a></strong></font>: If line width is 1, the style is a little different from when line width is not 1,
because a cosmetic pen is used for width=1.</li>
<li><a href="../func/text.html#cdNativeFont"><font face="Courier"><strong>
NativeFont</strong></font></a>: also accepts <em><strong>"-d"</strong></em><strong>
</strong> to show the font-selection dialog box.</li>
<li><a href="../func/text.html#cdFont"><font face="Courier"><strong>Font</strong></font></a>:
"Courier" is mapped to "Courier New", "Helvetica" is mapped to "Arial", and
"Times" is mapped to "Times New Roman". Underline and
Strikeout are supported. The System font does not have orientation.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Client Images </h4>
<ul>
<li><font face="Courier"><strong><a href="../func/client.html#cdPutImageRGBA">
PutImageRGBA</a></strong></font>: Try to use the new GDI function AlphaBlend, if not available captures an image
from the canvas to blend it manually.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Colors </h4>
<ul>
<li><a href="../func/color.html#cdPalette"><font face="Courier"><strong>Palette</strong></font></a>:
is useful only if the device has 256 colors. If it has less than 256 colors, ignore this function, for it will not
make much difference. If two different canvases have their palettes modified, the last one to be modified will have
the best quality; the other one will not have good quality and the colors might have a completely different
appearance.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Exclusive Attributes</h4>
<ul>
<li>"<b><font face="Courier">HDC</font></b>": returns the HDC of the Win32 canvas. It can only be retrieved (get
only). In Lua is returned as a user data.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>"<strong><font face="Courier">PENFILLPOLY</font></strong>": controls the polygon filling outline. Assumes values
"1" (active) and "0" (inactive). Default value: "1". When a filled polygon is drawn, a line in the same color is used
to draw the border which is not included in the filling. Deactivating this attribute solves the problem of polygons
with holes, in which there is a line connecting the external polygon to the internal polygon.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>"<b><font face="Courier">IMAGEFORMAT</font></b>": defines the number of bits per pixel used to create server
images. It uses 1 integer that can have the values: "32" or "24" (%d). Use NULL to remove the attribute. It is used
only in the <font face="Courier"><strong>cdCreateImage</strong></font>. When not defined, the server images use the
same format of the canvas.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>"<strong><font face="Courier">IMAGEALPHA</font></strong>": allows the usage of an alpha channel for server
images if IMAGEFORMAT=32. The attribute format is a pointer to the transparency values in a sequence of chars in
the same format of alpha for client images. The attribute is used only in the <font face="Courier"><strong>
cdCreateImage</strong></font> and for every <font face="Courier"><strong>
cdPutImageRect</strong></font>, the pointer must exists while the image exists. The alpha values are transfered to
the image only in <font face="Courier"><strong>cdPutImageRect</strong></font>, so they can be freely changed any time.
It will use the <strong><font face="Courier">AlphaBlend</font></strong> GDI
function. The data is not duplicated, only the pointer is stored. The size of
the data must be the same size of the image. Use NULL to remove the attribute.
Not accessible in Lua.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>"<strong><font face="Courier">IMAGEMASK</font></strong>": defines a binary transparency mask for server
images. The format is the same of a stipple, can contain only 0s and 1s. Use 2 integers, width and height, and a char
pointer to the mask values inside a string ("%d %d %p"). Use NULL to remove the attribute. It can not be retrieved
(set only). Not accessible in Lua. It will use the <font face="Courier"><strong>MaskBlt</strong></font>
GDI function.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>"<b><font face="Courier">IMAGEPOINTS</font></b>": define 3 coordinates of a paralelogram that will be used
to warp server images. Use 6 integer values inside a string ("%d %d %d %d %d %d" = x1 y1 x2 y2 x3 y3). Use NULL to
remove the attribute. The respective specified points are the upper-left corner, the upper-right corner and the lower
left corner. The drawing is also affected by the "IMAGEMASK" attribute. It will use the <font face="Courier"><strong>
PlgBlt</strong></font> GDI function. </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>"<b><font face="Courier">ROTATE</font></b>": allows the usage of 1
angle and 1 coordinate (x, y), that define a global rotation transformation
centered in the specified coordinate. Use 1 real and 2 integer values inside a
string ("%g %d %d" = angle x y). Can not be set if a
transformation is already set.</li>
</ul>
