NAME
Games::Go::Sgf2Dg::Dg2Mp - Perl extension to convert Games::Go::Sgf2Dg::Diagrams to John Hobby's MetaPost
(which is adapted from Donald Knuth's Metafont).
SYNOPSIS
use Games::Go::Sgf2Dg::Dg2Mp
my $dg2mp = B<Games::Go::Sgf2Dg::Dg2Mp-E<gt>new> (options);
$dg2mp->convertDiagram($diagram);
DESCRIPTION
A Games::Go::Sgf2Dg::Dg2Mp object converts a Games::Go::Sgf2Dg::Diagram object into a TeX (.tex) and a
MetaPost (.mp) file. The MetaPost file contains figures for each of the diagrams and overstones required
to make the complete game diagram. Running MetaPost (mpost or possibly mp) on the .mp file creates a set
of figure files, each of which is an Encapsulated PostScript figure. Running TeX (tex) on the .tex file
creates a .dvi file which tries to include the Encapsulated PostScript figures. Running dvips on the
.dvi file (from TeX) creates the final PostScript (.ps) file containing the complete game diagram.
See 'man mpost' (or possibly 'man 'mp') for more details of the overall MetaPost system and environment.
NEW
my $dg2mp = Games::Go::Sgf2Dg::Dg2Mp->new (?options?)
A new Games::Go::Sgf2Dg::Dg2Mp takes the following options:
boardSizeX => number
boardSizeY => number
Sets the size of the board.
Default: 19
doubleDigits => true | false
Numbers on stones are wrapped back to 1 after they reach 100. Numbers associated with comments
and diagram titles are not affected.
Default: false
stone_width => points
stone_height => points
The stone_width and stone_height determine the size of the stones and diagrams.
If stone_width is not explicitly set, it is calculated from the stone_fontSize to allow up to
three digits on a stone . The default stone_fontSize allows for three diagrams (with -coords)
per 'letter' page if comments don't take up extra space below diagrams. If doubleDigits is
specified, the stones and board are slightly smaller (stone 100 may look a bit cramped).
If stone_height is not explicitly set, it will be 1.05 * stone_width, creating a slightly
rectangular diagram.
Default: undef - determined from stone_fontSize
coords => true | false
Generates a coordinate grid.
Default: false
topLine => number (Default: 1)
bottomLine => number (Default: 19)
leftLine => number (Default: 1)
rightLine => number (Default: 19)
The edges of the board that should be displayed. Any portion of the board that extends beyond
these numbers is not included in the output.
diaCoords => sub { # convert $x, $y to Diagram coordinates }
This callback defines a subroutine to convert coordinates from $x, $y to whatever coordinates are
used in the Games::Go::Sgf2Dg::Diagram object. The default diaCoords converts 1-based $x, $y to
the same coordinates used in SGF format files. You only need to define this if you're using a
different coordinate system in the Diagram.
Default:
sub { my ($x, $y) = @_;
$x = chr($x - 1 + ord('a')); # convert 1 to 'a', etc
$y = chr($y - 1 + ord('a'));
return("$x$y"); }, # concatenate two letters
See also the diaCoords method below.
print => sub { my ($dg2mp, @tex) = @_; ... }
A user defined subroutine to replace the default printing method. This callback is called from
the print method (below) with the reference to the Dg2Mp object and a list of lines that are part
of the TeX diagram source.
stone_fontName => 'font' Default: 'cmssbx10'
Quoting from the discussion on fonts in section 7 of _A User's Manual for MetaPost_ (by John D.
Hobby):
"...the new font name should be something that TEX would understand since MetaPost gets height
and width information by reading the tfm file. (This is explained in The TEXbook. [5] ) It should
be possible to use built-in PostScript fonts, but the names for them are system-dependent. Some
systems may use rptmr or ps-times-roman instead of Times-Roman. A TEX font such as cmr10 is a
little dangerous because it does not have a space character or certain ASCII symbols. In
addition, MetaPost does not use the ligatures and kerning information that comes with a TEX
font."
stone_fontSize => points
The stone_fontSize determines the size of the stones and diagrams. Stone size is chosen to allow
up to three digits on a stone.
If doubleDigits is specified, the stones and board are slightly smaller (stone 100 may look a bit
cramped).
Default: 8
METHODS
$dg2mp->configure (option => value, ?...?)
Change Dg2Mp options from values passed at new time.
my $coord = $dg2mp->diaCoords ($x, $y)
Provides access to the diaCoords option (see above). Returns coordinates in the converter's
coordinate system for board coordinates ($x, $y). For example, to get a specific intersection
structure:
my $int = $diagram->get($dg2mp->diaCoords(3, 4));
$dg2mp->print ($tex ? , ... ?)
prints raw TeX code to file as defined at new time. Whether or not file was defined, print
accumulates the TeX code for later retrieval with converted. The TeX output filename is derived from
the MetaPost filename by changing the .mp extension to .tex.
$dg2mp->print ($tex ? , ... ?)
prints raw MetaPost code to MetaPost output file (as defined at ->new or ->configure time).
my $tex = $dg2mp->converted ($replacement_tex)
Returns the TeX source code converted so far for the Dg2Mp object. If $replacement_tex is defined,
the accumulated TeX source code is replaced by $replacement_tex.
$dg2mp->comment ($comment ? , ... ?)
Inserts the TeX comment character ('%') in front of each line of each comment and prints it to file.
my $tex_source = $dg2mp->convertDiagram ($diagram)
Converts a Games::Go::Sgf2Dg::Diagram into TeX/MetaPost. If file was defined in the new method, the
TeX source is dumped into the file.tex and the MetaPost source into file.mp. In any case, the TeX
source is returned as a string scalar.
my $tex = $dg2mp->convertText ($text)
Converts $text into TeX code by changing certain characters that are not available in TeX cmr10 font,
and by converting \n\n into \hfil\break. convertText behavior is modified by texComments and simple
options.
Returns the converted text.
$dg2mp->close
print the TeX closer (\bye) and close the dg2mp object. Also closes file if appropriate.
