<descr>
<p>
<file>lazcanvas.pas</file> contains classes and functions for extending 
TFPImageCanvas to support more stretching filters, and to support all 
features from the LCL TCanvas. TLazCanvas also fixes various small problems 
and incompatibilities between TFPImageCanvas versions, making the interface 
smoother and more consistent.

function used to provide the default font for the canvas class instance. 
DoCreateDefaultFont implements the abstract virtual method defined in an

</p>
<p>
DoCreateDefaultFont sets the <var>Size</var> property in the font to zero

Adjusts the values in <var>Bounds</var> to use the coordinate system in 
<var>TCanvas</var>, and draws borders using the style and/or pattern in the

<element name="TLazCanvas.DoRectangleFill">
<short>
Adjusts the FCL image rectangle to be LCL compatible and draws a filled 
rectangle on the canvas.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>DoRectangleFill</var> adjusts the fcl-image coordinate system to be 
compatible with coordinates used in <var>TCanvas</var>.
</p>
<p>
It calls the FCL SortRec routine (in <file>clipping.pp</file>) to normalize 
the values in Bounds prior to the drawing operation. It also shrinks the 
rectangle by a single pixel on the bottom and right edges for the border drawn 
in the Rectangle method. The original values in Bounds are not changed though 
- a temporary copy of Bounds is used in the method.
</p>
<p>
Values in Brush, like the Color and Style properties, are used to draw the 
filled rectangle. Style determines the routine(s) called to fill the drawing 
area as follows:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>bsSolid</dt>
<dd>
Fills the specified area with the Brush color. If the rectangle covers the 
entire width and height for the canvas and Clipping is not enabled, the 
FillColor method is used. Otherwise, the FillRectangleColor method is called 
using the adjusted bounds for the canvas.
</dd>
<dt>bsPattern</dt>
<dd>
Calls FillRectanglePattern to fill the rectangle with the pattern specified 
for the Brush.
</dd>
<dt>bsImage</dt>
<dd>
Fills the rectangle with the image assigned to the Brush. Uses 
RelativeBrushImage to determine whether FillRectangleImageRel or 
FillRectangleImage is called for the operation. A PixelCanvasException 
exception is raised for the style if an image has not been assigned in Brush.
</dd>
<dt>bsBDiagonal</dt>
<dd>
Calls FillRectangleHashDiagonal to fill the rectangle using the size for the 
hash pattern.
</dd>
<dt>bsFDiagonal</dt>
<dd>
Calls FillRectangleHashBackDiagonal to fill the rectangle using the size for 
the hash pattern.
</dd>
<dt>bsCross</dt>
<dd>
Calls both FillRectangleHashHorizontal and FillRectangleHashVertical to fill 
the rectangle using the size for the hash pattern.
</dd>
<dt>bsDiagCross</dt>
<dd>
Calls booth FillRectangleHashDiagonal and FillRectangleHashBackDiagonal to 
fill the rectangle using the size for the hash pattern.
</dd>
<dt>bsHorizontal</dt>
<dd>
Calls FillRectangleHashHorizontal to fill the rectangle using the size for the 
hash pattern.
</dd>
<dt>bsVertical</dt>
<dd>
Calls FillRectangleHashVertical to fill the rectangle using the size for the 
hash pattern.
</dd>

DoRectangleFill is an overridden method in TLazCanvas. It reimplements the 
method introduced in the TFPPixelCanvas ancestor (in FCL), and does <b>not</b> 
call the inherited method.
</p>
</descr>
<vesion>

<p>
Implements a polygon fill algorithm not present in fcl-image. Part of the

<p>
DoPolygonFill is defined when using FPC versions prior to 3.2.3. In FPC 3.2.3, 
the method already exists in the TFPPixelCanvas ancestor and is not needed in 
TLazCanvas.
</p>
</descr>
<version>
Modified in LCL versions after 2.2.4 to call DrawPixel instead of SetColor 
when drawing pixels between points on the polygon. This allows the DrawingMode 
(opacity, alphablending, custom) to be applied to the pixels. Adds support for 
the non-zero winding rule in the fill operation.

AlphaBlend ensures that the specified source content is not too large for the 
destination area. The dimensions in ASourceWidth and ASourceHeight are 
adjusted if any part of the image is outside the destination area.
</p>
<p>
AlphaBlend creates an inverse mask for the alpha channel used on the pixels in 
ASource. The mask is applied to the RGB components for the Colors in the 
current class instance. The alpha channel in Colors is set to alphaOpaque for 
the combined content.

<element name="TLazCanvas.Polygon">
<short>
Overloaded method which adds support for the non-zero winding rule.
</short>
<descr>
<p>
<var>Polygon()</var> overloads an equally-named method inherited from <var>TFPCustomCanvas</var> 
which
fills a polygon via <var>DoPolygonFill()</var>. 
By default, the even-odd rule is applied for filling. 
The current overload, however, adds support for filling the polygon 
by the <url href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonzero-rule/">non-zero winding rule</url>.
</p>
<p>
In each case, the polygon is filled by drawing horizontal lines across the polygon 
starting at the left 
The intersection points of this line with the polygon segments are calculated 
and sorted from left to right. 
</p>
<p>
In the even-odd rule, lines are drawn between adjacent intersection points in 
an alternating way. 
</p>
<p>
In the non-zero winding rule the "winding number"
(starting at zero for each line) is incremented/decremented depending on whether
the hit polygon segment is oriented upward or downward.
The following line segment is drawn only when the accumulated winding number 
is not zero.
</p>
<p>
The non-zero winding rule is selected when the <var>Winding</var> argument of the 
method is <b>true</b>. 
Otherwise the even-odd rule is applied.
</p>
<p>
The <var>DrawPixel()</var> method is called along the filling lines in order to apply the 
brush color to the canvas pixels in an either opaque or semi-transparent way.
</p>
</descr>
<version>
Added in LCL version 3.0.

<b>True</b> if the non-zero winding rule is enabled for the canvas instance.

points.
