exception Graphic_failure of string

Raised by the functions below when they encounter an error.

Initializations

val close_graph : unit -> unit

Delete the graphics window or switch the screen back to text mode.

val set_window_title : string -> unit

Set the title of the graphics window.

val resize_window : int -> int -> unit

Resize and erase the graphics window.

val clear_graph : unit -> unit

Erase the graphics window.

val size_x : unit -> int

See Graphics.size_y.

val size_y : unit -> int

Return the size of the graphics window. Coordinates of the screen pixels range over 0 .. size_x()-1 and 0 .. size_y()-1. Drawings outside of this rectangle are clipped, without causing an error. The origin (0,0) is at the lower left corner. Some implementation (e.g. X Windows) represent coordinates by 16-bit integers, hence wrong clipping may occur with coordinates below -32768 or above 32676.

Colors

type color = int

A color is specified by its R, G, B components. Each component is in the range 0..255. The three components are packed in an int: 0xRRGGBB, where RR are the two hexadecimal digits for the red component, GG for the green component, BB for the blue component.

val rgb : int -> int -> int -> color

rgb r g b returns the integer encoding the color with red component r, green component g, and blue component b. r, g and b are in the range 0..255.

val set_color : color -> unit

Set the current drawing color.

val background : color

See Graphics.foreground.

val foreground : color

Default background and foreground colors (usually, either black foreground on a white background or white foreground on a black background). Graphics.clear_graph fills the screen with the background color. The initial drawing color is foreground.

Some predefined colors

val black : color

val white : color

val red : color

val green : color

val fill_circle : int -> int -> int -> unit

Fill a circle with the current color. The parameters are the same as for Graphics.draw_circle.

Images

type image

The abstract type for images, in internal representation. Externally, images are represented as matrices of colors.

val transp : color

In matrices of colors, this color represent a 'transparent' point: when drawing the corresponding image, all pixels on the screen corresponding to a transparent pixel in the image will not be modified, while other points will be set to the color of the corresponding point in the image. This allows superimposing an image over an existing background.

val make_image : color array array -> image

Convert the given color matrix to an image. Each sub-array represents one horizontal line. All sub-arrays must have the same length; otherwise, exception Graphic_failure is raised.

val dump_image : image -> color array array

Convert an image to a color matrix.

val draw_image : image -> int -> int -> unit

Draw the given image with lower left corner at the given point.

val get_image : int -> int -> int -> int -> image

Capture the contents of a rectangle on the screen as an image. The parameters are the same as for Graphics.fill_rect.

val create_image : int -> int -> image

create_image w h returns a new image w pixels wide and h pixels tall, to be used in conjunction with blit_image. The initial image contents are random, except that no point is transparent.

val blit_image : image -> int -> int -> unit

blit_image img x y copies screen pixels into the image img, modifying img in-place. The pixels copied are those inside the rectangle with lower left corner at x,y, and width and height equal to those of the image. Pixels that were transparent in img are left unchanged.

Mouse and keyboard events

type status = {

mouse_x : int;
(*
X coordinate of the mouse
*)
mouse_y : int;
(*
Y coordinate of the mouse
*)
button : bool;
(*
true if a mouse button is pressed
*)
keypressed : bool;
(*
true if a key has been pressed
*)
key : char;
(*
the character for the key pressed
*)

}

To report events.

type event =

| Button_down
(*
A mouse button is pressed
*)
| Button_up
(*
A mouse button is released
*)
| Key_pressed
(*
A key is pressed
*)
| Mouse_motion
(*
The mouse is moved
*)
| Poll
(*
Don't wait; return immediately
*)

To specify events to wait for.

val wait_next_event : event list -> status

Wait until one of the events specified in the given event list occurs, and return the status of the mouse and keyboard at that time. If Poll is given in the event list, return immediately with the current status. If the mouse cursor is outside of the graphics window, the mouse_x and mouse_y fields of the event are outside the range 0..size_x()-1, 0..size_y()-1. Keypresses are queued, and dequeued one by one when the Key_pressed event is specified and the Poll event is not specified.

val loop_at_exit : event list -> (status -> unit) -> unit

Loop before exiting the program, the list given as argument is the list of handlers and the events on which these handlers are called. To exit cleanly the loop, the handler should raise Exit. Any other exception will be propagated outside of the loop.

since 4.01

Mouse and keyboard polling

val key_pressed : unit -> bool

Return true if a keypress is available; that is, if read_key would not block.

Sound

val sound : int -> int -> unit

sound freq dur plays a sound at frequency freq (in hertz) for a duration dur (in milliseconds).

Double buffering

val auto_synchronize : bool -> unit

By default, drawing takes place both on the window displayed on screen, and in a memory area (the 'backing store'). The backing store image is used to re-paint the on-screen window when necessary.

To avoid flicker during animations, it is possible to turn off on-screen drawing, perform a number of drawing operations in the backing store only, then refresh the on-screen window explicitly.

auto_synchronize false turns on-screen drawing off. All subsequent drawing commands are performed on the backing store only.

auto_synchronize true refreshes the on-screen window from the backing store (as per synchronize), then turns on-screen drawing back on. All subsequent drawing commands are performed both on screen and in the backing store.

The default drawing mode corresponds to auto_synchronize true.

val synchronize : unit -> unit

Synchronize the backing store and the on-screen window, by copying the contents of the backing store onto the graphics window.

val display_mode : bool -> unit

Set display mode on or off. When turned on, drawings are done in the graphics window; when turned off, drawings do not affect the graphics window. This occurs independently of drawing into the backing store (see the function Graphics.remember_mode below). Default display mode is on.

val remember_mode : bool -> unit

Set remember mode on or off. When turned on, drawings are done in the backing store; when turned off, the backing store is unaffected by drawings. This occurs independently of drawing onto the graphics window (see the function Graphics.display_mode above). Default remember mode is on.

type context

Initializations

type of a graphic context

val open_graph : string -> unit

Open a graphics window. The graphics window is cleared and the current point is set to (0, 0). The string argument is used to pass optional information on the desired graphics mode, the graphics window size, and so on. Specification can be found at http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_open.asp. Note: an extra specification is available, "target", to specifies the target attribute or the name of the window.

val open_canvas : Js_of_ocaml.Dom_html.canvasElement Js_of_ocaml.Js.t -> unit

use a canvas to setup the current context

val get_context : unit -> context

Get the current context

val set_context : context -> unit

Set the current context

val loop : event list -> (status -> unit) -> unit

Mouse and keyboard events

Loops forever and listen to the given events. Those events automatically returns a status record, which is used by the function given in argument.

val mouse_pos : unit -> (int * int) Lwt.t

Mouse and keyboard polling

Return the position of the mouse cursor, relative to the graphics window. If the mouse cursor is outside of the graphics window, mouse_pos() returns a point outside of the range 0..size_x()-1, 0..size_y()-1.

val button_down : unit -> bool Lwt.t

Return true if the mouse button is pressed, false otherwise.

val read_key : unit -> char Lwt.t

Wait for a key to be pressed, and return the corresponding character. Keypresses are queued.
