NSGraphicsContext richard@brainstorm.co.uk fedor@gnu.org GNUstep drawing context class. 1998,1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. NSGraphicsContext

This is an abstract class which provides a framework for a device independant drawing.

In addition, this class provides methods to perform the actual drawing. As a convenience, you can also access these through various function interfaces. One is a Display Postscript interface using PS and DPS opeterations. Another is a Quartz interface (not yet written).

For this and other color setting commands that have no differentiation between fill and stroke colors, both the fill and stroke alpha are set.

For this and other color setting commands that have no differentiation between fill and stroke colors, both the fill and stroke colors are set. DPSsetdash: pat : size : offset Description forthcoming. DPSsetflat: flatness Description forthcoming. DPSsetgcdrawable: gc : draw : x : y Description forthcoming. DPSsetgray: gray Sets the current colorspace to Device Gray and the current gray value DPSsetgstate: gst Makes the gstate indicated by the tag gst the current gstate.

GSConcatCTM: ctm Description forthcoming. GSCurrentCTM Description forthcoming. GSDefineGState Creates a copy of the current gstate and associates it with a tag, which is given in the return value. This tag can later be used in -DPSsetgstate: to set the gstate as being current again. GSDrawImage: rect : imageref Description forthcoming. GSGetTextCTM Description forthcoming. GSGetTextPosition Description forthcoming. GSRectClipList: rects : count Description forthcoming. GSRectFillList: rects : count Description forthcoming. GSReplaceGState: gst Replaces the gstate refered to by the tag gst with the current gstate. The former gstate is destroyed. GSSendBezierPath: path Description forthcoming. GSSetCTM: ctm Description forthcoming. GSSetCharacterSpacing: extra Description forthcoming. GSSetFillColor: values Sets the current color for fill operations. The values array should have n components, where n corresponds to the number of color components required to specify the color in the current colorspace. GSSetFillColorspace: dict

Sets the colorspace for fill operations based on values in the supplied dictionary dict.

For device colorspaces (GSDeviceGray, GSDeviceRGB, GSDeviceCMYK), only the name of the colorspace needs to be set using the GSColorSpaceName key.

Other colorspaces will be documented later

 GSSetFont: font Description forthcoming. GSSetFontSize: size Description forthcoming. GSSetStrokeColor: values Sets the current color for fill operations. The values array should have n components, where n corresponds to the number of color components required to specify the color in the current colorspace. GSSetStrokeColorspace: dict Sets the colorspace for stroke operations based on the values in the supplied dictionary. See -GSSetFillColorspace: for a description of the values that need to be supplied GSSetTextCTM: ctm Description forthcoming. GSSetTextDrawingMode: mode Description forthcoming. GSSetTextPosition: loc Description forthcoming. GSShowGlyphs: glyphs : length Description forthcoming. GSShowText: string : length Description forthcoming. GSUndefineGState: gst Disassociates the tag gst with it's gstate and destroys the gstate object. The tag will no longer be valid and should not be used to refer to the gstate again.
