Function Documentation

__extern caca_dither_t* caca_create_dither (int bpp, int w, int h, int pitch, uint32_t rmask, uint32_t gmask, uint32_t bmask, uint32_t amask)Create a dither structure from its coordinates (depth, width, height and pitch) and pixel mask values​. If the depth is 8 bits per pixel, the mask values are ignored and the colour palette should be set using the caca_set_dither_palette() function​. For depths greater than 8 bits per pixel, a zero alpha mask causes the alpha values to be ignored​. If an error occurs, NULL is returned and errno is set accordingly: • EINVAL Requested width, height, pitch or bits per pixel value was invalid​. • ENOMEM Not enough memory to allocate dither structure​. Parameters bpp Bitmap depth in bits per pixel​.
w Bitmap width in pixels​.
h Bitmap height in pixels​.
pitch Bitmap pitch in bytes​.
rmask Bitmask for red values​.
gmask Bitmask for green values​.
bmask Bitmask for blue values​.

Returns Dither object upon success, NULL if an error occurred​.

The list is a NULL-terminated array of strings, interleaving a string containing the internal value for the antialiasing method to be used with caca_set_dither_antialias(), and a string containing the natural language description for that antialiasing method​. This function never fails​. Parameters d Dither object​. Returns An array of strings​.

__extern char const* caca_get_dither_antialias (caca_dither_t const * d)Return the given dither's current antialiasing method​. This function never fails​. Parameters d Dither object​. Returns A static string​.

__extern int caca_set_dither_color (caca_dither_t * d, char const * str)Tell the renderer which colours should be used to render the bitmap​.

This is the default value​. If an error occurs, -1 is returned and errno is set accordingly: • EINVAL Invalid colour set​. Parameters d Dither object​.
str A string describing the colour set that will be used for the dithering​.
Returns 0 in case of success, -1 if an error occurred​.

• "blocks": use Unicode quarter-cell block combinations​. These characters are only found in the Unicode set​. If an error occurs, -1 is returned and errno is set accordingly: • EINVAL Invalid character set​. Parameters d Dither object​.
str A string describing the characters that need to be used for the dithering​.
Returns 0 in case of success, -1 if an error occurred​.
