%C This module is part of the \CONTEXT\ macro||package and is
%C therefore copyrighted by \PRAGMA. See mreadme.pdf for
%C details.
%D This modules implements the conversion of graphic \TPIC\
%D specials using \METAPOST.
%D
%D We reimplement the \TPIC\ specials using the special
%D mimmicking mechanism implemented in the support module
%D \type{supp-spe} as well as the \METAPOST\ run||time support
%D implemented in \type{supp-mps}.

\writestatus{loading}{ConTeXt Support Macros / TPIC Conversion}
%D Beware: we haven't activated both mechanism yet. This is
%D to be done in the calling module.
\unprotect
%D When we want to mimmick \TPIC\ specials in \PDFTEX, we need
%D to map its graphic primitives into \PDF\ ones. The main
%D problem in doing so is that \PDF\ does not support b-splines
%D directly and also does not offer us something to draw arcs.
%D Of course all this scan be implemented in \TEX, and the
%D first implementation of this module did so, but the results
%D were not that satisfying. Not having used these specials
%D before, I had for instance to find out that the \TPIC\
%D specials were not that unambiguesly defined.
%D
%D Then, while discussing something else, Sebastian Ratz told
%D me that the Web2c implementation that \PDFTEX\ is base upon,
%D offers some rather discutable, but nevertheless handy
%D feature:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \write18{execute program with arguments}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D Knowing this, I immediatelly decided to throw away the old
%D conversion macros and use the marvelous \METAPOST, \TEX\
%D related, drawing program to do the conversion in as high a
%D quality as possible.
%D
%D implementation we're going to present here, not only uses
%D for drawing purposes, but also uses the more efficient
%D \METAPOST\ features to store the path.
%D
%D \in{Table}[tab:TPIC specials] lists the \TPIC\ specials as
%D mentioned in the \LATEX\ Graphics Companion and the
%D relevant part of the \DVIPS\ source. This list shows us
%D that we have to store the path before we can use it, simply
%D because we don't know in advance what actions to apply on
%D it.

%D \HL
%D \stoptable
%D The first problem we have to take care of is the fact that
%D there is no decent begin or end of the drawing process
%D defined. We can however be quite sure that writers of
%D packages using these specials will put them into a box,
%D simply because else this is the most common used way to
%D treat something \TEX\ as as a whole, like:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \hbox{\special{}\special{}...}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D We just start a picture as soon as the first special is
%D encountered, so this becomes:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \hbox{\openpicture\newspecial{}\newspecial{}...
%D \stoptyping
%D The first step in opening the picture is to start a group.
%D Now we can savely use the egroup that closes the box to also
%D end the picture.
% BETER: check for context and include mp-tool.mp
\def\startTPICspecials
{\bgroup
\let\startTPICspecials\relax
\aftergroup\stopTPICspecials
\resetMPdrawing
\startMPdrawing
input mp-tool.mpii ;
pair p[];
\stopMPdrawing}
%D As soon as we begin a picture, we inhibit nesting by
%D relaxing the start macro. The first \METAPOST\ action we
%D take is declaring an array of pairs named $p$.
%D Ending the picture is invoked by closing the current group.
%D Because the \TPIC\ picture comes out mirrored, we have to
%D reflect the current \METAPOST\ picture, stored in the system
%D variable {\it currentpicture}, around the $x$-axis.

%D Here the macro \type{\stopwritingMPgraphic} has to take care
%D of executing and including the \METAPOST\ code.
%D We need to keep track of the number of elements that form
%D the path. This is needed because we don't know in advance
%D how the points are to be connected.
\newcount\TPICcounter
%D When a path is draw, we can connect the points using a
%D smooth curve of drawing straight lines. A closed path can be
%D drawn or filled.
\newif\ifTPICdraw
\newif\ifTPICfill
\newif\ifTPICcurve
%D The \TPIC\ specials permit specifying the line and fill
%D color as well as the linetype, which can be solid, dashed or
%D dotted. We'll save those specifications as a \METAPOST\
%D string, using:
\let\TPIClinetype =\empty
\let\TPICgrayscale=\empty
%D The magic reduction factor $.07227$ is needed to map the
%D \TPIC\ $1/1000$ of an inch to \POSTSCRIPT\ points. We cannot
%D delegate this task to \METAPOST\ because this program does
%D not accept values greater than 4095.
%D I won't discuss all the specifics used in implementing
%D the specials. The \METAPOST\ part is rather trivial. Many
%D specials have much in common, so the amout of code is not
%D that large.

%D I have to admit that by using the \METAPOST\ Bzier cubics
%D routines these implementation does produce better curves
%D then most \DVI\ drivers do using the \TPIC\ prescribed
%D b-splines. Take for instance the sequence:
%D
%D \starttyping
%D \special{pa 2000 1000}
%D \special{pa 1000 2000}
%D \special{pa 0000 1000}
%D \special{pa 1000 0000}
%D \special{pa 2000 1000}
%D \special{sp}
%D \stoptyping
%D
%D One would expect that this code produced a closed circle,
%D but the curve that comes out using b-splines is far from
%D round. We can however savely asume that the arc producing
%D specials will be used for drawing circle fragments, while
%D the path specials will be used for arbitraty curves. And for
%D b-splines to produce nice curves, one will often use many
%D points to get the desired results. Therefore, using the
%D \METAPOST\ Bzier curves will certainly produce similar and
%D even better graphics, except in those rare cases where one
%D uses delinberately the not that accurate features of
%D b-splines. Hereby the user is warned.
