NAME BestModeIDA -- calculate the best ModeID with given parameters (V39) BestModeID -- varargs stub for BestModeIDA() SYNOPSIS ID = BestModeIDA(TagItems) d0 a0 ULONG BestModeIDA(struct tagitem *); ID = BestModeID(Tag1, ...) ULONG BestModeID(ULONG, ...); FUNCTION To determine the best ModeID to fit the parameters set in the TagList. INPUTS TagItems - A pointer to an array of TagItems. TAGS BIDTAG_DIPFMustHave (ULONG) - Mask of DIPF_ flags (from DisplayInfo->PropertyFlags) that the returned ModeID must have. Default - NULL BIDTAG_DIPFMustNotHave (ULONG) - Mask of DIPF_ flags that the returned ModeID must not have. Default - SPECIAL_FLAGS BIDTAG_ViewPort (struct viewport *) - viewport for which a best-fit ModeID is sought. Default - NULL BIDTAG_NominalWidth (UWORD), BIDTAG_NominalHeight (UWORD) - together make the aspect ratio. These values override the vp->DWidth and vp->DHeight values in the given viewport. Default - SourceID NominalDimensionInfo if BIDTAG_SourceID is passed, or vp->DWidth and vp->DHeight if BIDTAG_ViewPort is passed, or 640 x 200. BIDTAG_DesiredWidth (UWORD), BIDTAG_DesiredHeight (UWORD) - Used to distinguish between two mode IDs with identical aspect ratios. Default - same values as NominalWidth and NominalHeight. BIDTAG_Depth (UBYTE) - minimum the returned ModeID must support. Default - vp->RasInfo->BitMap->Depth if BIDTAG_ViewPort is passed, else 1. BIDTAG_MonitorID (ULONG) - returned ModeID must use this monitor. Default - will not restrict the search to any particular monitor BIDTAG_SourceID (ULONG) - Use this ModeID instead of a viewport. If specified, the DIPFMustHave mask is made up of the ((DisplayInfo->PropertyFlags of this ID & SPECIAL_FLAGS) | DIPFMustHave flags). Default - VPModeID(vp) if BIDTAG_ViewPort was passed, else the DIPFMustHave and DIPFMustNotHave masks are left unchanged. BIDTAG_RedBits (UBYTE), BIDTAG_BlueBits (UBYTE), BIDTAG_Greenits (UBYTE) - Minimum bits per gun the resultant ModeID must support. Default - 4 bits per gun. RESULTS ID - ID of the best mode to use, or INVALID_ID if a match could not be found. NOTES This function takes into account the Compatability of the Monitor being matched to, and the source viewport or modeid. Incompatibilitys will cause a result of INVALID_ID. BIDTAG_NominalWidth, BIDTAG_NominalHeight, BIDTAG_DesiredWidth, BIDTAG_DesiredHeight, must all be non-0. The comparisons are made against the DimensionInfo->Nominal values. ie, this will not return a best fit against overscan dimensions. EXAMPLE IFF Display Program with a HAM image, to be displayed in the same monitor type as the Workbench viewport. ID = BestModeID(BIDTAG_NominalWidth, IFFImage->Width, BIDTAG_NominalHeight, IFFImage->Height, BIDTAG_Depth, IFFImage->Depth, BIDTAG_DIPFMustHave, DIPF_IS_HAM, BIDTAG_MonitorID, (GetVPModeID(WbVP) & MONITOR_ID_MASK), TAG_END); To make an interlace version of a ViewPort: ID = BestModeID(BIDTAG_ViewPort, ThisViewPort, BIDTAG_MustHave, DIFP_IS_LACE, TAG_END); SEE ALSO <graphics/modeid.h> <graphics/displayinfo.h>
