.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The scribble library implements simple character recognition.
|
||
|
All characters are drawn using a single stroke of the pen (mouse button 1)
|
||
|
as on a palmtop computer.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The library is not really intended for standalone use. Its primary
|
||
|
use is by the scribble graphical control (see
|
||
|
.IR control (2)).
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
.B Scribblealloc
|
||
|
allocates and returns an appropriately initialized
|
||
|
.B Scribble
|
||

|

This structure encodes the points making up the stroke
|
||
|
to be recognized, as well as the \f2character group\fP in which
|
||
|
the stroke should be searched.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
There are three such groups:
|
||
|
.IR letters ,
|
||
|
.IR digits ,
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.IR punctuation .
|
||
|
The current group is encoded in the
|
||
|
.B curCharSet
|
||
|
field of the
|
||
|
.B Scribble
|
||
|
structure.
|
||
|
Special strokes are recognized to switch between groups.
|
||
|
In addition, the charater recognized is influenced by
|
||
|
.I mode
|
||
|
parameters and modifies them.
|
||
|
These are identified by the
|
||
|
.BR capsLock ,
|
||
|
.BR puncShift ,
|
||
|
.BR tmpShift ,
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.B ctrlShift
|
||
|
fields of the
|
||
|
.B Scribble
|
||
|
structure.
|
||
|
When
|
||
|
.B puncShift
|
||
|
is non-zero, the character is recognized in the punctuation
|
||
|
character set.
|
||
|
Similarly,
|
||
|
when the character recognized is printable and
|
||
|
.B ctrlShift
|
||
|
is set, the associated control character is returned as if the
|
||
|
control key were depressed,
|
||
|
and when the character is a letter and
|
||
|
.B capsLock
|
||
|
or
|
||
|
.B tmpShift
|
||
|
is set, the upper-case version is returned.
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.B puncShift
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.B tmpShift
|
||
|
flags are turned off
|
||
|
once a character has been recognized; the others are left set.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The character to be recognized is encoded as an array of pen_points in the
|
||
|
.B ps
|
||
|
field.
|
||
|
To allow easy drawing of the stroke as it is drawn,
|
||
|
the
|
||
|
.I pt
|
||
|
and
|
||
|
.I ppasize
|
||
|
fields are available to the application code for storing an array
|
||
|
of points for a call to
|
||
|
.B poly
|
||
|
(see
|
||
|
.IR draw (2)).
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
.I Recognize
|
||
|
recognizes the character provided in the
|
||
|
.B ps
|
||
|
field of the
|
||
|
.B Scribble
|
||
|
structure; it
|
||
|
returns the rune or zero if nothing was recognized.
