MouseGraphics ToolKit

This is a complex API library written by Apple circa 1985. It consists of:

• Graphics Primitives - screen management, lines, rects, polys, text, patterns, pens
  • Concepts
  • Commands
• Mouse Graphics - windows, menus, events, cursors
  • Concepts
  • Commands
• Creating Applications and DeskTop Desk Accessories

For the purposes of DeskTop, the entry point is fixed at $4000 AUX, called MLI-style:

    JSR $4000
    .byte call
    .addr params

Result will be in A, with Z bit set, 0 indicating success (so BNE error works).

ca65 syntax is used for primitives: .byte, .word (interpreted as 16-bit signed integer), .addr (16-bit address), .res N (N byte buffer)

Point

.word       xcoord
.word       ycoord

Rect

.word       x1
.word       y1
.word       x2

Pattern

A simple repeating 8x8 pattern is defined by 8 bytes. All bits of each byte are used.

.byte       row0
.byte       row1
.byte       row2
.byte       row3
.byte       row4
.byte       row5

MapInfo

Used with GrafPorts to define offsets/clipping, and bitmaps for source data.

Point       viewloc
.addr       mapbits         $2000 for the screen, or bitmap bits
.byte       mapwidth        $80, or stride for bitmap
.byte       reserved
Rect        maprect         a.k.a. cliprect

GrafPort

There is always a current GrafPort (or "port" for short) that defines the destination and pen state of drawing operations.

MapInfo     portmap
Pattern     penpattern
.byte       colormask_and
.byte       colormask_or
Point       penloc
.byte       penwidth        horizontal pen thickness
.byte       penheight       vertical pen thickness
.byte       penmode
.byte       textback        text background
.addr       textfont

PolyList

.byte       count           number of vertices in this polygon
.byte       last            high bit set if there are more polygons
Point       vertex0
... repeats for each vertex
... repeats for each polygon

Font

This is a MousePaint-compatible font. Single- and double-width fonts are supported; max height is 16 pixels.

.byte       fonttype        0=regular, $80=double-width
.byte       lastchar        char code of last character (usually $7F)
.byte       height          pixels (1-16)
.res N      charwidth       pixels, for each char
.res N      row0            bits
.res N      row0right       bits (double-width only)
... repeats for each row
