BeginUpdate()

Synopsis

LONG BeginUpdate(
         struct Layer * l );

Function

Converts the damage list to ClipRects and exchanges the
two lists for faster redrawing. This routine allows a
faster update of the display as it will only be rendered
in the damaged areas.
This routine will automatically lock the layer to prevent
changes.

Inputs

l - pointer to layer

Result

TRUE  if damage list conversion was successful
FALSE if list could not be converted.

BehindLayer()

Synopsis

LONG BehindLayer(
         LONG dummy,
         struct Layer * l );

Function

If the layer is a backdrop layer it will be moved to the most
behind position. If it is a non-backdrop layer it will be moved
in front of the first backdrop layer.
The areas of simple layers, that become visible by moving this
layer, are added to the damagelist and the LAYERREFRESH flag
is set.

Inputs

dummy - nothing
L     - pointer to layer

Result

TRUE  - layer was successfully moved
FALSE - layer could not be moved (probably out of memory)

ChangeLayerShape()

Synopsis

struct Region * ChangeLayerShape(
         struct Layer  * l,
         struct Region * newshape,
         struct Hook   * callback );

Function

Changes the shape of the layer on the fly.
When the shape of a layer is changed the current pixel content
is copied into its ClipRects so no information is lost.
The user can provide a callback hook that will be
called when the current layer's information is all backed up
in ClipRects. The signature of the callback should look as follows:

    AROS_UFC3(BOOL, callback,
        AROS_UFCA(struct Hook   *       , hook       , A0),
        AROS_UFCA(struct Layer  *       , l          , A2),
        AROS_UFCA(struct ShapeHookMsg * , arg        , A1));

Inputs

L        - pointer to layer
newshape - pointer to a region that comprises the new shape
           of the layer. May be NULL if callback is provided.
callback - pointer to a callback hook. May be NULL if newshape
           is given.

Result

Pointer to the previously installed region.

ChangeLayerVisibility()

Synopsis

LONG ChangeLayerVisibility(
         struct Layer * l,
         int visible );

Function

Makes the given layer visible or invisible.
If it is a simple refresh layer it will loose all its
cliprects and therefore rendering will go into the void.

Inputs

L       - pointer to layer
visible - TRUE or FALSE

Result

TRUE  - layer was changed to new state
FALSE - layer could not be changed to new state

Notes

This is an AROS private function, providing support
for showing/hiding windows in intuition.

CollectPixelsLayer()

Synopsis

void CollectPixelsLayer(
         struct Layer  * l,
         struct Region * r,
         struct Hook   * callback );

Function

and calls the provided callback hook for all areas
that were found. You can do with the pixels whatever
you want...

Inputs

l               - pointer to layer where to start out
r               - region where to look for hidden or
                  visible pixels
callback        - the callback will be invoked for the
                  found pixels along with information
                  about the size of the area that may
                  be copied.

given size. The new layer will be in front of all other
layers. If it is a backdrop layer it will be created
in front of all other backdrop layers and behind all
non backdrop layers.
Install the given hook as a backfill hook. This hook will
be called whenever a part of the layer is supposed to be
filled with a certain pattern. The backfill hook has to
do that.

the flag LAYERSMART have to be set and a pointer to a
bitmap must also be passed to this function.

Inputs

li    - pointer to LayerInfo structure
bm    - pointer to common bitmap
x0, y0- upper left corner of the layer
x1, y1- lower right corner of the layer
flags - choose the type of layer by setting some flags

        and message = [ (struct Layer *) layer,
                        (struct Rectangle) bounds,

backfill hook will be called to clear the areas where there
is no layer. It will be used for every layer.

Inputs

of a non-backdrop layer. You can also not move a layer in front
of a layer with different relationship to the root layer. Boot

visible on the display, repositions the superbitmap
and redraws the display.
For non-superbitmapped layers, all subsequent (x,y) pairs
are adjusted by the scroll(x,y) value in the layer. If
ScrollLayer(-10,-3) was called and (0,0) is drawn it will
finally end up at coordinates (10, 3) in the superbitmap.

Inputs

l  - pointer to layer
dx - delta x to add to current x scroll value

The direction of the sort is indicated by dx and dy.

Inputs

layer -- the layer with the ClipRect list to sort
dx -- the left/right ordering
dy -- the up/down ordering

Result

The layer->ClipRect pointer now points to a sorted list of ClipRects.

SwapBitsRastPortClipRect()

Synopsis

void SwapBitsRastPortClipRect(
         struct RastPort * rp,
         struct ClipRect * cr );

ThinLayerInfo()

Synopsis

void ThinLayerInfo(
         struct Layer_Info * li );

UnlockLayer()

Synopsis

void UnlockLayer(
         struct Layer * layer );

Function

Unlocks a layer for access by other tasks. A layer has
to be unlocked as many times as it has been locked until
another task can access it.

Inputs

layer - pointer to layer to be unlocked

UnlockLayerInfo()

Synopsis

void UnlockLayerInfo(
         struct Layer_Info * li );

UnlockLayers()

Synopsis

void UnlockLayers(
         struct Layer_Info * li );

Function

First unlocks all layers found in the list, then
unlocks the Layer_Info itself.

Inputs

li - pointer to a Layer_Info structure

UpfrontLayer()

Synopsis

LONG UpfrontLayer(
         LONG dummy,
         struct Layer * l );

Function

Brings a layer to the front. If this layer is a backdrop layer
it is brought in front of all backdrop layers and behind the
last non-backdrop layer. By clearing the BACKDROP flag of a layer
a backdrop layer can be brought in front of all other layers.
Parts of a simple layer that become visible are added to the
damage list and the REFRESH flag is set.

Inputs

dummy - unused
L     - pointer to layer

Result

TRUE  - layer was moved
FALSE - layer could not be moved (probably out of memory)

WhichLayer()

Synopsis

struct Layer * WhichLayer(
         struct Layer_Info * li,
         LONG x,
         LONG y );

Function

Determines in which layer the point (x,y) is to be found.
Starts with the frontmost layer.

Inputs

li - pointer to Layers_Info structure
x  - x-coordinate
y  - y-coordinate

Notes

The function does not lock Layer_Info structure. It is
the responsibility of the caller to issue the lock via
LockLayerInfo()/UnlockLayerInfo()
