SYNOPSIS
Modules
libcaca canvas transformation
Functions
__extern int caca_disable_dirty_rect (caca_canvas_t *)
Disable dirty rectangles.
__extern int caca_enable_dirty_rect (caca_canvas_t *)
Enable dirty rectangles.
__extern int caca_get_dirty_rect_count (caca_canvas_t *)
Get the number of dirty rectangles in the canvas.
__extern int caca_get_dirty_rect (caca_canvas_t *, int, int *, int *,
int *, int *)
Get a canvas's dirty rectangle.
__extern int caca_add_dirty_rect (caca_canvas_t *, int, int, int, int)

Detailed Description
These functions manipulate dirty rectangles for optimised blitting.
Function Documentation
__extern int caca_disable_dirty_rect (caca_canvas_t * cv)
Disable dirty rectangle handling for all libcaca graphic calls. This is
handy when the calling application needs to do slow operations within a
known area. Just call caca_add_dirty_rect() afterwards.
This function is recursive. Dirty rectangles are only reenabled when
caca_enable_dirty_rect() is called as many times.
This function never fails.
Parameters
cv A libcaca canvas.
Returns
This function always returns 0.
__extern int caca_enable_dirty_rect (caca_canvas_t * cv)
This function can only be called after caca_disable_dirty_rect() was
called.
If an error occurs, -1 is returned and errno is set accordingly:
• EINVAL Dirty rectangles were not disabled.
Parameters
cv A libcaca canvas.
Returns
0 in case of success, -1 if an error occurred.
__extern int caca_get_dirty_rect_count (caca_canvas_t * cv)
Get the number of dirty rectangles in a canvas. Dirty rectangles are
areas that contain cells that have changed since the last reset.
The dirty rectangles are used internally by display drivers to optimise
rendering by avoiding to redraw the whole screen. Once the display
driver has rendered the canvas, it resets the dirty rectangle list.
Dirty rectangles are guaranteed not to overlap.
This function never fails.
Parameters
cv A libcaca canvas.
Returns
The number of dirty rectangles in the given canvas.
__extern int caca_get_dirty_rect (caca_canvas_t * cv, int r, int * x, int *
y, int * width, int * height)
Get the canvas's given dirty rectangle coordinates. The index must be
within the dirty rectangle count. See caca_get_dirty_rect_count() for
how to compute this count.
If an error occurs, no coordinates are written in the pointer
arguments, -1 is returned and errno is set accordingly:
• EINVAL Specified rectangle index is out of bounds.
Parameters
cv A libcaca canvas.
r The requested rectangle index.
x A pointer to an integer where the leftmost edge of the dirty
rectangle will be stored.
y A pointer to an integer where the topmost edge of the dirty
rectangle will be stored.
width A pointer to an integer where the width of the dirty
rectangle will be stored.
height A pointer to an integer where the height of the dirty
rectangle will be stored.
Returns
0 in case of success, -1 if an error occurred.
__extern int caca_add_dirty_rect (caca_canvas_t * cv, int x, int y, int
width, int height)
Add an invalidating zone to the canvas's dirty rectangle list. For more
information about the dirty rectangles, see caca_get_dirty_rect().
This function may be useful to force refresh of a given zone of the
canvas even if the dirty rectangle tracking indicates that it is
unchanged. This may happen if the canvas contents were somewhat
directly modified.
If an error occurs, -1 is returned and errno is set accordingly:
• EINVAL Specified rectangle coordinates are out of bounds.
Parameters
cv A libcaca canvas.
x The leftmost edge of the additional dirty rectangle.
y The topmost edge of the additional dirty rectangle.
width The width of the additional dirty rectangle.
height The height of the additional dirty rectangle.
Returns
0 in case of success, -1 if an error occurred.

__extern int caca_remove_dirty_rect (caca_canvas_t * cv, int x, int y, int
width, int height)
Mark a cell area in the canvas as not dirty. For more information about
the dirty rectangles, see caca_get_dirty_rect().
Values such that xmin > xmax or ymin > ymax indicate that the dirty
rectangle is empty. They will be silently ignored.
If an error occurs, -1 is returned and errno is set accordingly:
• EINVAL Specified rectangle coordinates are out of bounds.
Parameters
cv A libcaca canvas.
x The leftmost edge of the clean rectangle.
y The topmost edge of the clean rectangle.
width The width of the clean rectangle.
height The height of the clean rectangle.
Returns
0 in case of success, -1 if an error occurred.
__extern int caca_clear_dirty_rect_list (caca_canvas_t * cv)
Empty the canvas's dirty rectangle list.
This function never fails.
Parameters
cv A libcaca canvas.
Returns
This function always returns 0.
