Draw lines with bitmap patterns

Contributions to this software library are always welcome. Please ensure that you post program listings rather than .raw files. They give a reasonable idea of what your program does without having to load them into a DM42 and you can also include comments in your code. Check out the following link for a decoder/encoder: https://technical.swissmicros.com/decoders/dm42/

You can then copy/paste the listing and post it in "code" tags.

Draw lines with bitmap patterns

Post by Jvi »

This program, Fline (Fatline) draw a line with the current bitmap pattern, between 2 points defined by the variables R1,C1 And R2,C2.

Code: Select all

01▸LBL "Fline"
02 "↓•••↓"
03 RCL "R1"
04 RCL "C1"

The program is meant to be XEQ'ed from another program, after the start and end coordinates of the line you wish to draw, have been entered into the variables C1,R1 and C2,R2.
At the start of the program, in Line 02, a bitmap pattern is defined, which is a 5x5 square without the corners, but you can enter any bitmap pattern you wish. You could even remove it completely, and have the calling program defining the bitmap.
The program draws the pattern starting from C1,R1 to C2,R2 by plotting the bitmap pattern in pixel sized increments.
The actual code drawing the line, beginning at LBL 00, is only 8 instructions long, and mostly uses the stack. I dont think this can be much improved.
You can also make it draw pixel thin lines by replacing the AGRAPH instructions in line 5 and 33 with PIXEL.
It does not check if it is outside the screen.

I have also enclosed a demo program, FDEMO, which draws a polygon with the number of corners defined by the number in stack register X.
It draws all lines possible between the corners.

Here is the code for the demo:
