NAME
ASTileSYNOPSIS
Simple program based on libAfterImage to tile and tint image.
DESCRIPTION
All we want to do here is to get image filename, tint color and
desired geometry from the command line. We then load this image, and
proceed on to tiling it based on parameters. Tiling geometry
specifies rectangular shape on limitless plane on which original
image is tiled. While we are at tiling the image we also tint it to
specified color , or to some random value derived from the current
time in seconds elapsed since 1971.
We then display the result in simple window.
After that we would want to wait , until user closes our window.
In this tutorial we will only explain new steps, not described in
previous tutorial. New steps described in this tutorial are :
ASTile .1. Parsing ARGB32 tinting color .
ASTile .2. Parsing geometry spec.
ASTile .3. Tiling and tinting ASImage .

some other simple things.

libAfterImage/tutorials/ASTile.1 [3.1]
SYNOPSIS
Step 1. Color parsing.
DESCRIPTION
libAfterImage utilizes function provided by libAfterBase for color
parsing. In case libAfterBase is unavailable - libAfterImage
includes its own copy of that function. This function differs from
standard XParseColor in a way that it allows for parsing of alpha
channel in addition to red, green and blue. It autodetects if value
include alpha channel or not, using the following logic:
If number of hex digits in color spec is divisible by 4 and is not
equal to 12 then first digits are treated as alpha channel.
In case named color is specified or now apha channel is specified
alpha value of 0xFF will be used, marking this color as solid .
EXAMPLE
if( parse_argb_color( argv[i+1], &tint_color ) == argv[i+1] )
show_warning( "unable to parse tint color - default used: #%8.8X",
tint_color );
NOTES
On success parse_argb_color returns pointer to the character
immidiately following color specification in original string.
Therefore test for returned value to be equal to original string will
can be used to detect error.

libAfterImage/tutorials/ASTile.2 [3.2]
SYNOPSIS
Step 2. Parsing the geometry.
DESCRIPTION
Geometry can be specified in WIDTHxHEIGHT+X+Y format. Accordingly we
use standard X function to parse it: XParseGeometry. Returned flags
tell us what values has been specified. We only have to fill the rest
with some sensible defaults. Default x is width/2, y is height/2, and
default size is same as image's width.
EXAMPLE
geom_flags = XParseGeometry ( argv[i+1], &tile_x, &tile_y,
&tile_width, &tile_height );

libAfterImage/tutorials/ASTile.3 [3.3]
SYNOPSIS
Step 3. Actuall tiling of the image.
DESCRIPTION
Actuall tiling is quite simple - just call tile_asimage and it will
generate new ASImage containing tiled and tinted image. For the sake
of example we set quality to TOP, but normally GOOD quality is quite
sufficient, and is a default. Again, compression is set to 0 since we
do not intend to store image for long time. Even better we don't need
to store it at all - all we need is XImage, so we can transfer it to
the server easily. That is why to_xim argument is set to ASA_XImage.
As the result obtained ASImage will not have any data in its buffers,
but it will have ximage member set to point to valid XImage.
Subsequently we enjoy that convinience, by setting use_cached to True
in call to asimage2pixmap(). That ought to save us alot of processing.
Tinting works in both directions - it can increase intensity of the
color or decrease it. If any particular channel of the tint_color is
greater then 127 then intensity is increased, otherwise its decreased.
EXAMPLE
tinted_im = tile_asimage( asv, im, tile_x, tile_y,
tile_width, tile_height,
tint_color,
ASA_XImage, 0, ASIMAGE_QUALITY_TOP );
destroy_asimage( &im );
