Inside PicComments

Everything you’ve always wanted to know about picComments but were afraid to ask.

Raul Tabasso is currently working on his thesis in Architecture at the University of Rome where he was particularly involved in designing a CAD system. At the end of 1984 he started developing software on the Mac and since then it has become his principle activity. At the moment he is working on a large project, a Macintosh application written in assembly language that will eventually allow bitmaps (like those digitized with scanners) to be transformed into a collection of objects as in a PICT file. In his younger days Raul worked for a week as a bicycle messenger in San Francisco where he learned how to overcome slopes.

When I first read the Laser Manual and Apple Technical Notes on the subject, I was very surprised to see how easy it seemed to implement some laser specific features without the bother of sending a special PostScript (PS) program to the printer. Actually the idea of passing information to the laser driver through picture comments not only makes it very easy to include some features in your programs, but guarantees longevity and stability to your code utilizing the power of PS through QuickDraw (QD). In fact even if one day this technique could be replaced, Apple will hardly change the rules its own applications and many others depend on. This is at least if you don’t take picComments (from now on picComs) just like a trick to send your own PS programs which, although it now works, could really break the rules of device independence.

If you have experienced picComs you probably realized that, despite revisions, Apple’s own documentation surprisingly lacks precision and clearness in more than one point and that such a brilliant idea appears not to have been supported as it should. Since a lot has been already written about picComs I am not going to repeat basic information most of us already read but I will concentrate on the more obscure and less sampled aspects. For example one of the most exciting features of picComs is the ability to have easy access to PS equipped printer’s capability to smooth polygons using bezier curves. As far as I know (you can check how far in the bibliography), nothing has ever been shown about printing smoothed polygons using this scheme. Furthermore we will examine the inner working of one more ‘unrevealed’ picCom, the SetLineWidth.

• Please note that through this article we will use the term laser or laser driver for convenience where we shall actually be referring to any device and driver that can process picComs. Seemingly the term imagewriter will be referred to those devices and drivers ignoring picComs. Moreover, since there is no reason your application can’t make sure it is running on a recent driver, I cannot guarantee everything will work as described in this article using earlier versions of the 4.0 laser driver •

Figure 1. Sample Smoothed Picutres

A Different Approach

Before we get involved with smoothing, there is something to point out on sending picComs to the printing grafPort that I think is fundamental and seems to have been left out of any discussion. You probably noticed that all the examples published are structured something like this:

myPic := OpenPicture(theWorld);
 DrawStuff; {with QD + picComments}
ClosePicture;
PrintThePicture;   {go print myPic}

This will work nicely in an example test or in a small program, but in a real application will probably give you some problem. Why? Very simple. Since you usually give the freedom to your users to draw as many polygons or rotated texts as would fit in the available heap, it can easily happen that there isn’t enough memory to make a picture containing all graphics to be printed or saved.

So what to do? Can we divide the picture into smaller ones? If so we must create and kill pictures in the middle of the printing loop, and this is not allowed as specified in IM2 (p. 160) where they warn us: “Don’t call the QuickDraw function OpenPicture [ ] after a call to prOpenPage ”. Do we have to open a picture in order to use picComs? Although we usually must, when printing we do not really have to.

Let’s have a look at some facts now and see why this is possible. When we are spool printing on an imagewriter, the driver is actually writing a PICT format file on the disk (or possibly to memory). To accomplish this, it has to solve the same problem we just talked about, as nothing guarantees that it will have enough memory to accumulate the picture and eventually print it. Fortunately, it is possible to customize the standard QDprocs, the low-level bottleneck drawing routines of QD. The imagewriter driver customizes the stdPutPic procedure (in the PrOpenDoc call) in order to directly write the picture to disk while it is forming, instead of accumulating it in memory, and opens a picture in the PrOpenPage call. Since another picture is already opened you can’t open one after, but just because of that we can issue our picComs without taking the trouble (and the memory) of making one by ourselves. The standard commentProc for the print port of the imagewriter will just ignore comments anyway.

I know you are wondering what if we are printing on a laser, since it usually prints in a draft mode. Ok, we don’t have a picture opened and we are not writing a PICT to the disk, but the driver has customized the commentProc that, as you guessed, is in charge of processing picComs causing them to be directly intercepted and sent to the laser without being accumulated anywhere.

All this simply means that you can safely issue picComs in your page loop without having to pass through the construction of a picture, this allowing you to print everything you want without worrying about memory problems besides making your print job faster and easier.

So our previous routine should look something like this:

PrOpenPage(MyPrintPort,NIL);{don’t need to open a picture}
 DrawStuff;  {using QD + PicComments}
PrClosePage(MyPrintPort);  {end cur page}

Smooth Commenting

When we have to smooth polygons we usually write a routine that draws many short line segments shaping the curve. We can use it to draw on the screen or in the printing grafPort of the imagewriter, but no matter how good our smoothing algorithm is, when we attempt to send it to a laser printer the results are far from being attractive. This is because the smooth-poly will always be printed at a 72 dpi resolution, making your hard copy much less impressive than it could be. This, of course, is before using picComs for your poly (sorry if it sounds like an ad).

Using picComs is not only useful for printing but very recommendable for saving (in a file or in the scrap) a PICT containing objects that can be better explained adding comments. Doing it in this way will allow other applications to reconstruct the objects in the right format. To simplify this, imagine that you have just saved in a picture file the short line segments forming the smooth-poly. An application like Mac Draw does not know that you do not want a very fractal object or just a number of connected lines, thus treating your masterpiece like a senseless doodle. Using picComs you can tell MacDraw that those short lines belong to a smoothed polygon.

Although the whole mechanism is pretty easy (once you know it) there are some rules to follow. The final goal of our discussion is to write a routine that is not concerned with the printer type but that takes advantage of specific situations without risk of being device dependent. This routine could also be called in order to save (on disk) or to copy a picture (in the scrap). In fact it is indifferent to send our picComs and drawings to the printer, to the disk or to the memory.

It is important to notice that some applications, like MacDraw (and our demo), do not always use a standard QD polygon (a 10 bytes header plus 4 bytes for each point), but a compressed version. When several polygons with many sides are in memory, the use of compressed polys could save a lot of memory. If, for example, you use a byte offset format nearly half the space can be saved. It is not convenient then to convert this object to a standard Poly in order to draw it using stdPoly; in fact it will be more trouble and take more code and memory than if you simply drew it using stdLines. Subsequent calls to Lineto or Line, after the PolyBegin comment, will be interpreted as part of the poly.

Let’s now have a closer look at this routine. We always start the poly definition with a PolyBegin comment. This informs a driver, prepared to understand picComs, that the following stdLines (or stdPoly) are to be considered as part of a special polygon. Immediately following this comment we might issue the PicPlyClo comment which specifies that the polygon is a closed figure.

This header is the same for smoothed or unsmoothed polys, but at this point we should differentiate our code. If the current poly is not to be smoothed we can just draw it normally which would work for every printer; but if it does have to be smoothed we should issue additional information which is done through another picCom, the polySmooth. This comment takes a handle to one byte of data specifying the nature of the splined poly: the verbs parameters. These verbs provide a way to apply framing, filling and closing to the current object.

Right after this last comment we should draw the unsmoothed poly. Notice that we draw the original poly even though we want the smoothed one, since the laser only cares about the original vertexes on which will be applied its own smoothing algorithm (a cubic spline, if you care). If you are wondering, what if an imagewriter gets these vertexes instead of the smoothed ones, you have probably guessed that it would print the wrong thing, so we have to find a way not to have it print on paper. The official Apple documentation suggests setting the pen size to zero after the polyBegin comment. Unfortunately this method doesn’t work properly. It does avoid printing the unsmoothed poly on a printer that is not equipped to handle polygon comments but, too bad, even on the laser the pen remains at zero and nothing will print.

The real solution has to do with clipping. What we have to do is simply set the clipping to a zero rect (a rectangle enclosing no pixels) before drawing the unsmoothed poly and then reset it to the previous clipping when finished. This will prevent an imagewriter from drawing the wrong thing, but will allow a laser, that ignores the clipping rectangle (when in a special poly definition), to draw the smoothed polygon.

• It is interesting to note that a picture with the clipRgn set to an empty rect does not generate any opcode for this operation since such a clipping is actually its default •

At this point we are done with the laser, but nothing would have been printed yet on an imagewriter, so we must get ready to call our own smoothing algorithm. However, first we must ensure that the laser won’t draw again. This is very easily done by the polyIgnore comment that simply puts the laser driver to sleep (actually only drowsing) until a polyEnd is encountered. Is that all? Basically this is it, but there are a few other things we should examine to completely master the whole scheme.

If the polygon has to be filled, as well as using the fill verb in the PolySmooth comment, the QD procedure fillRgn can be used. This comes after the PolyIgnore and will work for every printer. In fact the laser driver, even though it ignores regions, will be awakened from its sleep and will build a fillPat for its current path using that passed to the FillRgn proc. Some of the patterns have been optimized in order to translate them in a gray-scale that PS can halftone. The actual patterns that the driver transforms in a gray-scale, are the standard fill tones present in the system file (and as QD globals) plus some of the patterns in the standard list of the system file: to be exact those with numbers 1 to 5 (2=5) and 20 to 24 (23=24). All these patterns can be found as resources (PAT# ,ID=-8191) in the laser driver where, two more pats in the list (8 and 18), raise the total available shades of gray to the number of 11 including black and white. You can, therefore, easily put up a pattern menu with more real PS gray scales than most applications without having to deal with special coding or, in the worst case, having to write a driver yourself. In addition these patterns are much faster than others because they don’t need to be imaged before being sent to the laser. Using these pats you can have gray-scales from white to black at approximately 10% increments in gray percentage. Currently there is a gap between 50 and 75 percent and there are 3 gray levels between 75% and 82% all very similar, so let me put on the wish list a gray around 60% instead of one of these last 3.

Let’s summarize all this with a short pseudo-language example assuming our polygon is stored in a byte offset format, therefore using Line or LineTo procedures in its drawing routines. Shouldn’t be hard to adapt this example in order to use normal QD polys.

PrOpenPage(MyPrintPort,NIL);  {check err}
 {Begin special poly}
 PicComment(PolyBegin,0,NIL);
 PicComment(picPlyClo,0,NIL);
 IF smoothed THEN BEGIN  {smoothPoly}
 {verb is an unsigned byte}
 IF noFill THEN SmoothHdl^^.verb=5;
 {close+frame+fill (4+1+2)}
 ELSE SmoothHdl^^.verb=7;
 {set smooth flag and verb}
 PicComment(Polysmooth,1,SmoothHdl);
 GetClip(saveClip);
 {laser don’t care of Clip}
 ClipRect(ZeroRect); {but others do}
 {feed laser with original vertexes}
 DrawUnsmoothedPoly;
 SetClip(saveClip);  {restore}
 {laser can take a nap now}
 PicComment(PolyIgnore,0,NIL);
 END;  {smoothPoly}
 IF filled THEN BEGIN{make a rgn to fill our special poly} 
 OpenRgn; {assuming we have a handle}
 DrawCurPoly;  {create region}
 CloseRgn(RgnHandle);
 FillRgn(RgnHandle,itsPat);
 END;
 DrawCurPoly;  {redraw}
 PicComment(PolyEnd,0,NIL);
 {End special poly}
PrClosePage(MyPrintPort); {end cur page}
.....................
PROCEDURE DrawCurPoly;
 {decide what routine to call}IF smoothed THEN DrawSmoothedPoly;
 ELSE DrawUnsmoothedPoly;
END;

Les jeux sont fait; this routine will print on any kind of printer regardless of whether it knows how to interpret picComs or if the current poly is smoothed or unsmoothed. The scheme represented in this routine is similar to that used by MacDraw and this guarantees that it will be supported for a long time.

As we said, besides to print, we can use this routine to store in the scrap or to save a PICT file on the disk and we can even use it to draw on the screen (although it’s slower than normally). When we want to save a picture in the scrap we open a picture and then call our routine causing drawings and picComs to be accumulated. In order to inform an application receiving our PICT that it contains comments, we should bracket the special poly in two additional comments: picDwgBegin and picDwgEnd. Although these comments were designed for MacDraw, some other application could count on them, so even if they might be useless we should include them.

Let’s now see a slightly different way to accomplish the same task which is derived from the new scheme used in MacDraw II. Basically it doesn’t differ much from its predecessor except for the method used to fill the poly. As we recall from the previous example a region was build to fill the pseudo-poly whether it was smoothed or not, but, as we’ll see now, a standard QD polygon can be used for the same purpose.

Using a QD poly, of course, involves building one. Keeping track of its size is a much more easier thing to do than for regions. In fact if you inconsiderately trespass the 32K limit of regions and polygons some really undesirable things will happen soon. How too make sure this won’t happen using a region is (too bad) beyond the scope of this article but, as you probably guessed, checking for this kind of error while a polygon is forming is a much easier task: just make sure you don’t have more then 8189 points or, using GetHandleSize, check for the 32K limit not to be passed. The original MacDraw ignores a fill request for a polygon that does not fit in a 32K region. This means that if you try to fill a big and complicated smoothed poly MacDraw refuses to do it. Surprisingly MacDraw II doesn’t take advantage of a much easier size checking derived by using polygons and dies in a horrible way when overloaded.

Here is how it could look like our previous routine modified in order to use the procedure FillPoly instead of FillRgn:

PrOpenPage(MyPrintPort,NIL); {check err}
 PicComment(PolyBegin,0,NIL);
 IF Fill THEN BEGIN  {build Poly}
 ThePoly := OpenPoly;
 DrawCurPoly; {accumulate lines}
 ClosePoly;
 END;  {build Poly}
 IF smoothed THEN BEGIN  {smoothPoly}
 IF noFill THEN SmoothHdl^^.verb=5;
 ELSE SmoothHdl^^.verb=7;
 PicComment(Polysmooth,1,SmoothHdl);
 END;  {smoothPoly}
 IF Fill THEN FillPoly(ThePoly,ThePat);
 GetClip(saveClip);
 ClipRect(ZeroRect); {laser ignores this}
 DrawUnsmoothedPoly; {original vertex}
 SetClip(saveClip);  {restore}
 PicComment(PolyIgnore,0,NIL);
 DrawCurPoly;  {draw poly frame}
 PicComment(PolyEnd,0,NIL);
PrClosePage(MyPrintPort); {end cur page}

Notice that, as shown in the other example, the procedure DrawCurPoly checks whether the poly is smoothed and, if this is so, calls the smoothing algorithm, otherwise draws the lines shaping the poly using original vertexes. When we call DrawCurPoly right after the PolyIgnore picCom it might also be possible to issue a FramePoly QD proc instead. In this case nothing guarantees you were able to build one since it might have happened that the poly exceeded the size limit making its creation impossible. Using stdLines always guarantees you will be able to frame your object.

MacDraw II actually does a few other things than in this example. Those things seem completely useless to me, so I took them out of the example test that demonstrated to work well even without those cryptic statements. In fact MacDraw II would start moving the pen out of the way (-8000,-8000) and then setting the pensize to zero, however, after the FillPoly proc (before any intervening drawing), it would reset the pensize and location cancelling the previous operation. Mac Draw II uses a zero region to fill the poly (as we discussed before). The laser driver is not concerned with the region data but uses only the fill pattern passed along with the procedure. This, again, is useless since the driver would have already taken the pattern at the issue of the FillPoly proc in order to fill its current path. Note that MacDraw II passes a 2 bytes verb in the PolySmooth picCom instead of the only one used originally. However this second byte seems not to be used and cleared to zero at the moment.

Although there might be some invisible reason (at least to me) for MacDraw II to use this additional statements, you can safely use the slimmed version we just saw or the scheme used by the original MacDraw shown before ( and also presented in the demo). Both of These methods have demonstrated to work fluently in all the tests I produced. They also worked fine in order to save a Pict file format on disk. In this case we must write a file having cleared to zero its first 512 bytes block (usually containing MacDraw specific information) followed by our picture. As we said for the imagewriter driver, we may not have enough memory to accumulate the picture in memory before writing it to disk, so we should customize the stdPutPic in order to directly spool it to disk while it is forming.

Real Width

Let’s now have a look to another interesting picCom which has the ability to scale the pen size even under the smallest unit (1/72 of an inch) that QD can represent. We are talking about the SetLineWidth (from now on SLW) comment that allows you to draw with an almost infinitely thin pen, taking advantage of higher resolution laser printers.

This is a very important comment that, I think, every application dealing with graphics should use in order to give its users the possibility to fully utilize laser capabilities.

SLW takes a handle to a 4 bytes data point which is actually to be interpreted as a real number. The first high order integer (2 bytes) is the numerator and the second the denominator of a fraction giving the scaling factor for the current pen. For example if you pass 1 for the numerator and 4 for the denominator you will have a value of 0.25 (1/4) that will be used to determine the current pen for the SetLineWidth PS operator.

• Don’t confuse the SetLineWidth picCom with the homonymous PS operator which actually assigns the pensize for the laser •

The LaserPrep file contains variables and procedures that the driver downloads to the printer. The SLW picCom works by changing the value of some of these variables. There is a global variable flag string (fg) containing single-character values; the fourth and the fifth parameters of this string represent respectively the numerator and the denominator of a variable named pnm. The SLW picCom stores the two parameters it receives in these character bytes therefore limiting to an unsigned byte (0-255) the maximum possible value that can be passed. Note that you pass numbers in integer format but they are interpreted as unsigned bytes. If for example you wish to scale your pen to 300 dpi (instead of the 72 default), it would be fatal to issue a SLW having 72 in the first word and 300 in the second ($ 0048 012C). In fact, the number 300 will not fit in the unsigned byte denominator of pnm which would cause the driver to print nothing or to bomb totally (depending on version). To perform such an operation, scale the number to a common factor like 12 for example, giving a fraction of 6/25 which will scale the pen exactly like 72/300 would have done.

Unfortunately the SLW picCom is very tricky and often doesn’t appear to work as expected until you know its idiosyncrasies. Let’s see the inner workings of this comment in conjunction with the laser driver.

• For simplicity we’ll consider width and height of QD pen as a unique parameter •

Any time you issue a SLW picCom, in the printing loop, the laser driver translates it into a call to the previously downloaded lw (line width) procedure. The lw proc calculates the width of the pen that is used for the SetLineWidth PS operator. If we name ‘LineWidth’ the variable containing the thickness of lines to be drawn (what an imagination) and ‘pnmV’ and ‘pnmH’ are the two parameters you pass in the SLW picCom, the lw procedure works about like this: LineWidth = LineWidth * (pnmV/pnmH). Then the SetLineWidth PostScript operator will take LineWidth as its argument setting the pen for the laser to this new value. This means that every new scaling factor you pass through the SLW comment will not actually act on the current QD pensize, but will multiply the PS pen. For example if you have a starting QD pensize of 2 and you pass a pnm of 3/2 (1.5) the PS pen will be set to 3 and this is no surprise, but if a further SLW is generated with a pnm of 1/2 (0.5) we will have a new pen of 1.5 (3 * 0.5) and not 1 as would have resulted multiplying the QD pen (2) with the new scaling (0.5). So one more SLW comment with a pnm=0.5 will set the PS pen to 0.75 leaving unchanged the QD pen (2).

Further more we must not forget that even the pensize QD procedure affects the laser pen width, but differs from the SLW picCom, in that it is not directly processed and sent to the laser. In fact until a new drawing routine is called, arguments passed to pensize are only recorded but no action is taken. When a QD bottleneck is called the driver checks the last value passed to pensize and, if it’s different from the previously used value, it generates a ‘pen’ LaserPrep’s routine. Imagining the new QD pensize to be a unique value (for width and height) named NewSize this procedure would look about like this: LineWidth = NewSize * (pnmV/ pnmH). LineWidth will be then passed to the SetLineWidth PS operator.

This procedure will have the effect of resetting the laser pen according to the new QD pen and the current pnm. So, considering we left our PS pen to 0.75 and the pnm to 0.5 as in the previous example, making a call to PenSize with an argument of 1 would cause the pen (when a QD proc is called) to be set at 0.5, indeed NewSize * pnm (1 * 0.5).

Notice that, because the laserPrep’s ‘pen’ procedure is called right before a QD routine (if at all), it is always issued after the ‘lw’ procedure even if the original order was the opposite.

So many things just to set a pen width? Don’t ask me, but once you figure out the mechanism it shouldn’t be impossible to make it work. I suggest that, following the rules we have just talked about, you write a short routine in your favorite language to test all the quirks of this comment.

Here’s a pseudo one that can serve as a skeleton and assumes (for simplicity) the QD pen to be a unique value:

LineWidth = Float{PS pen}
QDPenSize = Integer{QD cur pen size}
pnm= Float{pen multiplier}
NewSize = Integer{last val of PenSize}
...................
{Everytime a SLW picCom is issued call the followin proc to simulate 
the driver}
PROCEDURE Lw (pnmH,pnmV);
 pnm := pnmV / pnmH;
 LineWidth := LineWidth * pnm;
END;  {Lw}
...................
{If a QD PenSize is called just set NewSize accordingly}
{Before drawing, check IF QDPenSize <> NewSize THEN (in case) call this 
routine}
PROCEDURE Pen;
  QDPenSize := NewSize;
 LineWidth := QDPenSize * pnm;
END;  {Pen}
...................
{You can then print LineWidth, instead
drawing, to test the PS pen size }

About the Demo

The principle goal of our Demo is to show how to correctly insert in a working program the routines we have been talking about.

The program allows a polygon to be drawn (in a non modal way) in a standard Macintosh window, you can then take some action on it through menus. It is possible to smooth and vice-versa, fill the poly with some patterns and change the pen size. Moreover you can copy the current poly in the clipboard and, because desk accessories are supported, you can then paste it in to those of them accepting picts or in other applications. Of course you can print the current poly on any printer you wish and setting the pen scaling factor for PostScript printers will allow a much more accurate definition for the pen width like drawing hairlines as thin as possible on the currently attached device. For example a pen size of 3 with a scaling factor of 300 dpi will cause lines to be printed at a width of 1/100 of an inch (3 * 1/300) which on a laser writer’s raster memory will be exactly 3 pixels.

Although the program only serves as a demo its routines have been designed to be fast and compressed in order to be perfectly usable in a larger project. For example the actual procedure in charge of smoothing an input poly can be considered like a Toolbox routine for its speed and compression. You could even be disinterested in how this routine works (of which a full discussion would go beyond the scope of this article), and you could just call it from your program passing the right arguments like you would do with any Toolbox proc. Seemingly the routine that builds a special polygon (‘MakePoly’) can be easily used from a different application even if dealing with hundreds of smoothed polys instead of the only one we can have in the demo. Points where potential problems may arise have been marked and a short description of the possible bug is given. This, of course, is done not for carelessness but because a lot of code would have been needed and we couldn’t take up any more space. Assembly language has been chosen mainly for its insuperable speed since we all experienced what it means in terms of time to scroll a certain number of smoothed polygons in a window. Furthermore having to deal with compressed data structures makes it much easier to control them in this language. Macros have been used for comments dividing them in short and long as in the picture’s opcodes. Routines that refer more closely to the subject of this article, as you have seen, have already been shown in a pseudo high-level language. Hierarchical menus have been used where appropriate and the new PrGlue Toolbox trap (in 256K ROMs and in system 4.1 or later) is used for printing code.

I hope this discussion saved you some time in implementing comments in your applications. Please note that despite most of the information being presented in this article is not documented anywhere else, it is not a weird approach to accomplish the work done but just the way things are at the moment and probably will be for a while.

Besides the following documentation MacsBug was of invaluable help as usual.
