%C This module is part of the \CONTEXT\ macro||package and is
%C therefore copyrighted by \PRAGMA. See mreadme.pdf for
%C details.

%D These macros are written as generic as possible. Some
%D general support macro's are loaded from a small module
%D especially made for non \CONTEXT\ use. In this module I
%D use a matrix transformation macro written by Tanmoy
%D Bhattacharya. Thanks to extensive testing by Sebastian
%D Ratz I was able to complete this module within reasonable
%D time. This module has support for \METAPOST\ extensions
%D built in.
%D
%D Daniel H. Luecking came up with a better (more precise)
%D transformation method. You can recognize his comment by
%D his initials. (We keep the old code around because it's a
%D nice illustration on how a module like this evolves.)

% Beware, we cannot use \zeropoint here since it may be
% defined in the range \dimen 0 - 20 which we happen to use
% as scratch registers; inside context we may consider
% using dedicated registers.

% fails: (    ) vect10 9.96265 fshow % \040\040\040\040
%
% some optimizations are possible, but we need to be generic

%D First we take care of non||\CONTEXT\ use (newlines needed,
%D expandafter not -).

%D This module handles some \PDF\ conversion and insertions
%D topics. By default, the macros use the \PDFTEX\ primitive
%D \type{\pdfliteral} when available. Since \PDFTEX\ is now the
%D default engine for \TEX\ distributions, we need a more complex
%D test.

%D \macros
%D   {convertPDFtoPDF}
%D
%D \PDFTEX\ supports verbatim inclusion of \PDF\ code. The
%D following macro takes care of inserting externally defined
%D illustrations in \PDF\ format. According to a suggestion
%D Tanmoy Bhattacharya posted to the \PDFTEX\ mailing list, we
%D first skip lines until \type{stream} is reached and then
%D copy lines until \type{endstream} is encountered. This
%D scheme only works with vectorized graphics in which no
%D indirect references to objects are used. Bitmaps also don't
%D work. Interpreting their specifications is beyond the
%D current implementation.
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \convertPDFtoPDF
%D   {filename}
%D   {x scale} {y scale}
%D   {x offset } {y offset}
%D   {width} {height}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D When the scales are set to~1, the last last four values
%D are the same as the bounding box, e.g.
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \convertPDFtoPDF{mp-pra-1.pdf} {1} {1}{-1bp}{-1bp}{398bp}{398bp}
%D \convertPDFtoPDF{mp-pra-1.pdf}{.5}{.5} {0bp} {0bp}{199bp}{199bp}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D Keep in mind, that this kind of copying only works for
%D pure and valid pdf code (without fonts).

%D The scanning and copying is straightforward and quite fast.
%D To speed up things we use two constants.

%D
%D the mediabox present in the file superseded the user
%D specified, already scaled and calculated offset and
%D dimensions. Beware: the user supplied values are not the
%D bounding box ones!

%D \macros
%D   {convertMPtoPDF}
%D
%D The next set of macros implements \METAPOST\ to \PDF\
%D conversion. Because we want to test as fast as possible, we
%D first define the \POSTSCRIPT\ operators that \METAPOST\
%D uses. We don't define irrelevant ones, because these are
%D skipped anyway.

%D The converter can be made a bit faster by replacing the
%D two test macros (the ones with the many \type {\if's}) by
%D a call to named branch macros (something \typ {\getvalue
%D {xPSmoveto}}. For everyday documents with relatively
%D small graphics the gain in speed can be neglected.

%D A previous version set \type {%} to ignore, which
%D simplified the following definitions. At the start of
%D conversion the percent character was made active again.
%D Because the whole graphic is one paragraph (there are no
%D empty lines) this does not give the desired effect. This
%D went unnoticed untill Scott Pakin sent me a test file
%D percent characters in a string. So, from now on we have
%D to prefix the following strings with percentages.

\edef \PSBoundingBox      {\letterpercent\letterpercent BoundingBox:}
\edef \PSHiResBoundingBox {\letterpercent\letterpercent HiResBoundingBox:}
\edef \PSExactBoundingBox {\letterpercent\letterpercent ExactBoundingBox:}
\edef \PSMetaPostSpecial  {\letterpercent\letterpercent MetaPostSpecial:}
\edef \PSMetaPostSpecials {\letterpercent\letterpercent MetaPostSpecials:}
\edef \PSPage             {\letterpercent\letterpercent Page:}

%D By the way, the \type {setcmykcolor} operator is not
%D output by \METAPOST\ but can result from converting the
%D \cap{RGB} color specifications, as implemented in
%D \type{supp-mps}.

%D In \POSTSCRIPT\ arguments precede the operators. Due to the
%D fact that in some translations we need access to those
%D arguments, and also because sometimes we have to skip them,
%D we stack them up. The stack is one||dimensional for non path
%D operators and two||dimensional for operators inside a path.
%D This is because we have to save the whole path for
%D (optional) postprocessing. Values are pushed onto the stack
%D by:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \setMPargument {value}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D They can be retrieved by the short named macros:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \gMPa {number}
%D \gMPs {number}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D When scanning a path specification, we also save the
%D operator, using
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \setMPkeyword {n}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D The path drawing operators are coded for speed: \type{clip},
%D \type{stroke}, \type{fill} and \type{fillstroke} become
%D 1, 2, 3 and~4.
%D
%D When processing the path this code can be retrieved
%D using
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \getMPkeyword % {n}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D When setting an argument, the exact position on the stack
%D depends on the current value of the \COUNTERS\
%D \type{\nofMPsegments} and \type{\nofMParguments}.

\newcount\nofMPsegments
\newcount\nofMParguments

%D These variables hold the coordinates. The argument part of
%D the stack is reset by:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \resetMPstack
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D We use the prefix \type{@@MP} to keep the stack from
%D conflicting with existing macros. To speed up things a bit
%D more, we use the constant \type{\@@MP}.

%D When we reset the stack, we can assume that all further
%D comment is to be ignored and handled in strings.
%D By redefining the reset macro after the first call, we
%D save some run time. Only use this macro after all
%D comments are processed and use the simple alternative
%D when dealing with comments.

%D The arguments are saved with the preceding command
%D \type{\do}. By default this command expands to nothing, but
%D when we deal with strings it's used to strip off the
%D \type{(} and \type{)}.
%D
%D Strings are kind of tricky, because characters can be
%D passed verbatim \type{(hello)}, by octal number
%D \type{(\005)} or as command \type{(\()}. We therefore
%D cannot simply ignore \type{(} and \type{)}, the way we do
%D with \type{[} and \type{]}. Another complication is that
%D strings may contain characters that normally have a
%D special meaning in \TEX, like \type{$} and \type{{}}.
%D
%D A previous solution made \type{\} an active character and
%D let it look ahead for a number or characters. We had to
%D abandon this scheme because of the need for verbatim
%D support. The next solution involved some \CATCODE\
%D trickery but works well.

%D natural one.

% \def\MPspacechar{\space} % normal case

\def\MPspacechar{\char32\relax} % old solution does not work with math

%D However, the following implementation is more robust, since
%D some fonts have funny visible spaces in the space slot. This
%D gives a mismatch between the space that \METAPOST\ took into
%D account and the \quote {natural} space. This only happens in
%D labels, since \type {btex}||\type {etex} thingies don't have
%D spaces. This phenomena showed up when preparing the
%D \METAFUN\ manual, where Palatino fonts are used. We can
%D safely assume that \METAPOST\ considers \type {\char32} to
%D be the space.

\def\MPspacechar{\setbox\scratchbox\hbox{\char32}\kern\wd\scratchbox}

%D Well, this does not work with math fonts, so:

\def\MPspacechar{\char32\relax}

%D Most operators are just converted and keep their
%D arguments. Dashes however need a bit different treatment,
%D otherwise \PDF\ viewers complain loudly. Another
%D complication is that one argument comes after the \type{]}.
%D When reading the data, we simply ignore the array boundary
%D characters. We save ourselves some redundant newlines and
%D at the same time keep the output readable by packing the

%D The \type{setlinewidth} commands looks a bit complicated. There are
%D two alternatives, that result in a similar look in both
%D $x$- and $y$-dorection. As John Hobby says:
%D
%D \startnarrower \switchtobodyfont[ss]
%D \starttyping
%D x 0 dtransform exch truncate exch idtransform pop setlinewidth
%D 0 y dtransform truncate idtransform setlinewidth pop
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D These are just fancy versions of \type{x setlinewidth} and
%D \type{y setlinewidth}. The \type{x 0 ...} form is used if
%D the path is {\em primarily vertical}. It rounds the width
%D so that vertical lines come out an integer number of pixels
%D wide in device space. The \type{0 y ...} form does the same
%D for paths that are {\em primarily horizontal}. The reason
%D why I did this is Knuth insists on getting exactly the
%D widths \TEX\ intends for the horizontal and vertical rules
%D in \type{btex...etex} output. (Note that PostScript scan
%D conversion rules cause a horizontal or vertical line of
%D integer width $n$ in device space to come out $n+1$ pixels
%D wide, regardless of the phase relative to the pixel grid.)
%D \stopnarrower
%D
%D The common operator in these sequences is \type{dtransform},
%D so we can use this one to trigger setting the linewidth.

%D The most complicated command is \type{concat}. \METAPOST\
%D applies this operator to \type{stroke}. At that moment the
%D points set by \type{curveto} and \type{moveto}, are already
%D fixed. In \PDF\ however the \type{cm} operator affects the
%D points as well as the pen (stroke). Like more \PDF\
%D operators, \type{cm} is defined in a bit ambiguous way.
%D The only save route for non||circular penshapes, is saving
%D the path, recalculating the points and applying the
%D transformation matrix in such a way that we can be sure
%D that its behavior is well defined. This comes down to
%D inverting the path and applying \type{cm} to that path as
%D well as the pen. This all means that we have to save the
%D path.

%D In \METAPOST\ there are three ways to handle a path $p$:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D draw p;  fill p;  filldraw p;
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D The last case outputs a \type{gsave fill grestore} before
%D \type{stroke}. Handling the path outside the main loops
%D saves about 40\% run time.\footnoot{We can save some more by
%D following the \METAPOST\ output routine, but for the moment
%D we keep things simple.} Switching between the main loop and
%D the path loop is done by means of the recursely called
%D macro \type{\handleMPsequence}.

%D By setting the auxiliary \DIMENSIONS\ \type{\dimen0} upto
%D \type{\dimen10} only once per path, we save over 20\% run
%D time. Some more speed was gained by removing some parameter
%D passing. These macros can be optimized a bit more by using
%D more constants. There is however not much need for further
%D optimization because penshapes usually are round and
%D therefore need no transformation. Nevertheless we move the
%D factor to the outer level and use a bit different \type{pt}
%D removal macro. Although the values represent base points,
%D we converted them to pure points, simply because those can
%D be converted back.

%D The transformation code is rewritten by Daniel H. Luecking who
%D describes his patch as follows:
%D
%D We would like to divide 1 by $X4, but all divisions are integer so
%D for accuracy we want to convert to large integers and make sure the
%D integer quotient has as many significant digits as possible. Thus we
%D need to replace $1/X$ with $M/N$ where $N$ is as large as possible
%D and $M/N$ is as large as possible. Also for simplicity $M$ should be
%D a power of 2. So we make $M = 2^{30}$ \footnote{$2^{31} - 1$ is the
%D largest legal integer. Using it (and simply ignoring the inaccuracy
%D caused by $-1$) turns out to be at least as accurate in all cases,
%D and more accurate in some.} (largest legal power of 2) and adjust
%D $X4 downward (if necessary) to the the range $1-2^{16}$. This gives
%D at least 15 significant binary digits, (almost as accurate as
%D \METAPOST\ for numbers near 1) or almost 5 significant figures
%D (decimal).

%D DHL: When viewed as an integer, $1 \hbox{pt}=2^{16}$ so $2^{32}/X$

%D answer  in points. But we are limited to $2^{30}/X$. However, we
%D actually do  $[ 2^{30} / (X/2^K) ]*2^{2-K}$ where $K$ is the number
%D of halvings it takes to bring $X4 below $1 \hbox{pt}$. If $K$ is 0

%D DHL: Ideally, $r_x$, $r_y$, $s_x4, $s_y$ should be in macros, not
%D dimensions (they are scalar quantities after all, not lengths). I
%D suppose the authors decided to do calculations with integer
%D arithmetic instead of using real factors because it's faster.
%D However, the actual macros test slower, possibly because I've
%D omitted three nested loops. In my test files, my approach is more
%D accurate. It is also far simpler and overflow does not seem to be a
%D significant concern. The scale factors written by Metapost are (?)
%D always $<=1$ (it scales coordinates internally) and coordinates are
%D always likely to be less than \type {\maxdimen}.
%D
%D If this should ever cause problems, the scale factors can be reduced.

%D One reason for Daniel to write this patch was that at small sizes
%D the accuracy was less than optimal. Here is a test that demonstrates
%D that his alternative is pretty good:

%D The following explanation of the conversion process was
%D posted to the \PDFTEX\ mailing list by Tanmoy. The original
%D macro was part of a set of macro's that included sinus and
%D cosinus calculations as well as scaling and translating. The
%D \METAPOST\ to \PDF\ conversion however only needs
%D transformation.

%D Given a point $(U_x, U_y)$ in user coordinates, the business
%D of \POSTSCRIPT\ is to convert it to device space. Let us say
%D that the device space coordinates are $(D_x, D_y)$. Then, in
%D \POSTSCRIPT\ $(D_x, D_y)$ can be written in terms of
%D $(U_x, U_y)$ in matrix notation, either as
%D
%D \placeformula
%D   \startformula

%D                                     r_y&s_y&0\cr

%D or
%D
%D \placeformula
%D   \startformula
%D    \pmatrix{D_x\cr D_y\cr 1} = \pmatrix{s_x&r_y&t_x\cr
%D                                         r_x&s_y&t_y\cr

%D   \stopformula
%D
%D both of which is a shorthand for the same set of equations:
%D
%D \placeformula
%D   \startformula
%D      D_x = s_x U_x + r_y U_y + t_x
%D   \stopformula
%D

%D   \startformula
%D      D_y = r_x U_x + s_y U_y + t_y
%D   \stopformula
%D
%D which define what is called an `affine transformation'.
%D
%D \POSTSCRIPT\ represents the `transformation matrix' as a
%D six element matrix instead of a $3\times 3$ array because
%D three of the elements are always~0, 0 and~1. Thus the above
%D transformation is written in postscript as $[s_x\, r_x\,
%D r_y\, s_y\, t_x\, t_y]$. However, when doing any
%D calculations, it is useful to go back to the original
%D matrix notation (whichever: I will use the second) and
%D continue from there.
%D
%D As an example, if the current transformation matrix is
%D $[s_x\, r_x\, r_y\, s_y\, t_x\, t_y]$ and you say \typ{[a b
%D c d e f] concat}, this means:
%D
%D \startnarrower
%D Take the user space coordinates and transform them to an
%D intermediate set of coordinates using array $[a\, b\, c\, d\,
%D e\, f]$ as the transformation matrix.
%D
%D Take the intermediate set of coordinates and change them to
%D device coordinates using array $[s_x\, r_x\, r_y\, s_y\, t_x\, t_y]$
%D as the transformation matrix.
%D \stopnarrower
%D
%D Well, what is the net effect? In matrix notation, it is
%D
%D \placeformula
%D   \startformula
%D     \pmatrix{I_x\cr I_y\cr 1\cr} = \pmatrix{a&c&e\cr
%D                                             b&d&f\cr

%D                                             1  \cr}
%D   \stopformula
%D
%D \placeformula
%D   \startformula
%D     \pmatrix{D_y\cr D_y\cr 1\cr} = \pmatrix{s_x&r_y&t_x\cr
%D                                             r_x&s_y&t_y\cr

%D   \stopformula
%D
%D where $(I_x, I_y)$ is the intermediate coordinate.
%D
%D Now, the beauty of the matrix notation is that when there is
%D a chain of such matrix equations, one can always compose
%D them into one matrix equation using the standard matrix
%D composition law. The composite matrix from two matrices can
%D be derived very easily: the element in the $i$\high{th}
%D horizontal row and $j$\high{th} vertical column is
%D calculated by`multiplying' the $i$\high{th} row of the first
%D matrix and the $j$\high{th} column of the second matrix (and
%D summing over the elements). Thus, in the above:
%D
%D \placeformula

%D In fact, the same rule is true not only when one is going
%D from user coordinates to device coordinates, but whenever
%D one is composing two `transformations' together
%D (transformations are `associative'). Note that the formula
%D is not symmetric: you have to keep track of which
%D transformation existed before (i.e.\ the equivalent of
%D $[s_x\, r_x\, r_y\, s_y\, t_x\, t_y]$) and which was
%D specified later (i.e.\ the equivalent of $[a\, b\, c\, d\,
%D e\, f]$). Note also that the language can be rather
%D confusing: the one specified later `acts earlier',
%D converting the user space coordinates to intermediate
%D coordinates, which are then acted upon by the pre||existing
%D transformation. The important point is that order of
%D transformation matrices cannot be flipped (transformations
%D are not `commutative').
%D
%D Now what does it mean to move a transformation matrix
%D before a drawing? What it means is that given a point
%D $(P_x, P_y)$ we need a different set of coordinates
%D $(P_x^\prime, P_y^\prime)$ such that if the transformation
%D acts on $(P_x^\prime, P_y^\prime)$, they produce $(P_x,
%D P_y)$. That is we need to solve the set of equations:
%D
%D \placeformula
%D   \startformula
%D     \pmatrix{P_x\cr P_y\cr 1\cr} = \pmatrix{s_x&r_y&t_x\cr
%D                                             r_x&s_y&t_y\cr
%D                                             0  &0  &1  \cr}
%D                                    \pmatrix{P_x^\prime\cr
%D                                             P_y^\prime\cr
%D                                             1         \cr}
%D   \stopformula
%D
%D Again matrix notation comes in handy (i.e. someone has
%D already solved the problem for us): we need the inverse
%D transformation matrix. The inverse transformation matrix can
%D be calculated very easily:
%D
%D \placeformula
%D   \startformula
%D     \pmatrix{P_x^\prime\cr P_y^\prime\cr 1\cr} =
%D        \pmatrix{s_x^\prime&r_y^\prime&t_x^\prime\cr
%D                 r_x^\prime&s_y^\prime&t_y^\prime\cr
%D                 0  &0  &1  \cr}
%D        \pmatrix{P_x\cr
%D                 P_y\cr
%D                 1         \cr}
%D   \stopformula
%D
%D where, the inverse transformation matrix is given by
%D
%D \placeformula
%D   \startformula
%D     \eqalign
%D       {D          & = s_x s_y - r_x r_y           \cr
%D        s_x^\prime & = s_y / D                     \cr
%D        s_y^\prime & = s_x / D                     \cr
%D        r_x^\prime & = - r_x / D                   \cr
%D        r_y^\prime & = - r_y / D                   \cr
%D        t_x^\prime & = ( - s_y t_x + r_y t_y ) / D \cr
%D        t_y^\prime & = (   r_x t_x - s_x t_y ) / D \cr}
%D   \stopformula
%D
%D And you can see that when expanded out, this does
%D give the formulas:
%D
%D \placeformula
%D   \startformula
%D     P_x^\prime = { { s_y(p_x-t_x) + r_y(t_y-p_y) } \over
%D                    { s_x s_y-r_x r_y } }
%D   \stopformula
%D
%D \placeformula
%D   \startformula
%D     P_y^\prime = { { s_x(p_y-t_y) + r_x(t_x-p_x) } \over
%D                    { s_x*s_y-r_x*r_y } }
%D   \stopformula
%D
%D The code works by representing a real number by converting
%D it to a dimension to be put into a \DIMENSION\ register: 2.3 would
%D be represented as 2.3pt for example. In this scheme,
%D multiplying two numbers involves multiplying the \DIMENSION\
%D registers and dividing by 65536. Accuracy demands that the
%D division be done as late as possible, but overflow
%D considerations need early division.
%D
%D Division involves dividing the two \DIMENSION\ registers and
%D multiplying the result by 65536. Again, accuracy would
%D demand that the numerator be multiplied (and|/|or the
%D denominator divided) early: but that can lead to overflow
%D which needs to be avoided.
%D
%D If nothing is known about the numbers to start with (in
%D concat), I have chosen to divide the 65536 as a 256 in each
%D operand. However, in the series calculating the sine and
%D cosine, I know that the terms are small (because I never
%D have an angle greater than 45 degrees), so I chose to
%D apportion the factor in a different way.
