<tag/Description/The function draws an elliptic arc with center at x/y and

<item>The function is only available as fastcall function, so it may only
be used in presence of a prototype.

of range.

<quote> <descrip> <tag/Function/Return the pixel aspect ratio.
<tag/Header/<tt/<ref id="tgi.h" name="tgi.h">/
<tag/Declaration/<tt/unsigned tgi_getaspectratio (void);/
<tag/Description/The function returns the pixel aspect ratio for the current
driver and display as an 8.8 fixed point value. It may be used to correct
geometric shapes so they look correct on the display. As an example, a circle
with a radius of 100 pixels may look elliptic on some driver/display
combinations if the aspect ratio is not 1.00.
<tag/Notes/<itemize>
<item>The aspect ratio is encoded in the TGI driver which assumes a "standard"
monitor for the given platform. The aspect ratio may be wrong if another
monitor is used.
<item>No TGI function will use the aspect ratio. It is up to the programmer to
make use of it.
<item>The <ref id="tgi_setaspectratio" name="tgi_setaspectratio"> function can
be used to change the aspect ratio for a loaded driver. The value is not reset
by <ref id="tgi_init" name="tgi_init">, so if a driver is linked statically to
an application, switching into and out of graphics mode will not restore the
original aspect ratio.

<tag/Function/Return the current drawing color.

<tag/Declaration/<tt/unsigned char tgi_getcolor (void);/
<tag/Description/The actual color is an index to a palette. During tgi_init
you will get a default palette. The number of colors depend on the platform.
All platforms recognize at least TGI_COLOR_BLACK and TGI_COLOR_WHITE. But some
platforms have many more predefined colors. If you paint using TGI_COLOR_GREEN
and then you change the green of the palette to blue using tgi_setpalette then
after this painting in TGI_COLOR_GREEN will actually be blue.

<tag/Description/
Load a vector font into memory and return it. In case of errors, NULL is
returned and an error is set, which can be retrieved using tgi_geterror.
To use the font, it has to be installed using tgi_install_vectorfont.

<tag/Header/<tt/<ref id="tgi.h" name="tgi.h">/
<tag/Declaration/<tt/void __fastcall__ tgi_setaspectratio (unsigned ratio);/
<tag/Description/The function sets the pixel aspect ratio for the current
driver and display. The argument is an 8.8 fixed point value. The aspect ratio
may be used to correct geometric shapes so they look correct on a given
display. As an example, a circle with a radius of 100 pixels may look elliptic
on some driver/display combinations if the aspect ratio is not 1.00.
<tag/Notes/<itemize>
<item>The aspect ratio is encoded in the TGI driver which assumes a "standard"
monitor for the given platform. The aspect ratio may be wrong if another
monitor is used.
<item>No TGI function will use the aspect ratio. It is up to the programmer to
make use of it.
<item>The <tt/tgi_setaspectratio/ function can be used to change the aspect
ratio for a loaded driver. The value is not reset by <ref id="tgi_init"
name="tgi_init">, so if a driver is linked statically to an application,
switching into and out of graphics mode will not restore the original aspect
ratio.
<item>The function is available only as a fastcall function; so, it may be used
only in the presence of a prototype.
