Introduction

[edit | edit source]

The datatypes.library was introduced to decode file formats (#?.png #?.jpg etc.) easily using different classes which can be installed as they are needed.

First you should learn about BOOPSI (Amiga OOP object oriented system). Once understand, it's makes it easier to understand datatypes, MUI, etc

The descriptors in devs/datatypes contain the information how to identify a file type. Usually the file is opened only once by datatypes.library and a small buffer is used for comparisons which contains the first few bytes of the file (64 bytes IIRC).

dt descriptor is related to the struct DataTypeHeader dth_Name, dth_BaseName, etc.

Most datatype descriptors are held very simple, for example "compare the first 12 bytes with the pattern FORM????ILBM". The comparison is done by datatypes.library, there is no foreign code involved.

Only very few descriptors actually contain code. In this code everything can be done, though. For example, the code can close and reopen the file and read it entirely if needed. But this should not be done because identification needs to be very fast.

Dtdesc tool (and accompanied documentation) createdtdesc package is aimed at creating (picture) datatypes (as a whole, including makefiles). dtdescr is aimed at (only) viewing and creating the descriptor.

Once the file type is identified and the application wants to load the file, the class library from classes/datatypes is called. This library contains the code to decode the file contents and to make it available to datatypes.library.

Datatypes consist of a few libraries that exposes a couple of methods to load and save pictures of a certain type. Internally there is a 'common' storage method of the pixels that is used by the picture datatype, and so each 'library' that can handle its own type is able to 'convert' this common storage method into a specific format or load to this specific format.

The datatypes system itself exposes methods for the developer/user that allows for easy loading and saving by just calling some functions.


The only problem with AmigaOS implementation of datatypes is that they aren't really bidirectional. You can generally only save in IFF but AROS aspires to bring the original idea back

The ideal implementation would allow each datatype superclass (picture.datatype, sound.datatype etc.) to provide a list of all currently known sub-classes that support encoding. You'd then be able to pick one and encode data for that datatype and write it out to disk in that format.

Wanderer (AROS WB replacement) does not utilise the datatype subsystem directly "except" for loading window background imagery. The datatype system cannot deal with progressive loading and streaming yet.



How to Use

[edit | edit source]

create a Datatype Object, use the NewDTObject function ...

gd->gd_DisplayObject = NewDTObject ((IPTR)gd->gd_Unit, DTA_SourceType, DTST_CLIPBOARD, GA_Immediate, TRUE,
                                     GA_RelVerify, TRUE, DTA_TextAttr, (ULONG) & gd->gd_TextAttr, TAG_DONE)) 

The parameters of this functions uses Tags as defined in datatypes/datatypesclasses.h and intuition/gadgetclass.h

gf->gd_Unit = the Clipboard unit number
DTST_Clipboard = the Clipboard is the data source
GA_Immediate = Should the object be active when displayed
GA_RelVerify = Verify that the pointer is over the object when it is selected
gd_->gd_TextAttr = Pointer to text font attributes

Once a datatype object is no longer required, it is disposed of and memory released: e.g.

DisposeDTObject (gd->gd_DisplayObject);

To get attributes from a datatype object, you can use the GetDTAttrs function e.g.

GetDTAttrs (gd->gd_DisplayObject, DTA_DataType, (ULONG)&dtn, TAG_DONE);

and examining the results from the dtn structure you can retrieve:

dtn->dtn_Header->dth_Name = Descriptive name of the datatype
dtn->dtn_Header->dth_GroupID = The group the datatype belongs to

The function GetDTString returns a localised Datatypes string of the id given. This string could be syst, text, docu, soun, inst, musi, pict, anim or movi (see datatypes.h). e.g.

GetDTString (dtn->dtn_Header->dth_GroupID)



opening a file and know the base class it is, you just need:

Object *dto;
        if(dto = NewDTObject(filename, DTA_GroupID, GID_TEXT, TAG_DONE))
  DisposeDTObvject(dto);

The DTA_GroupID tag ensure that the file is of that type. Otherwise you'll get problems later when you try to read data.

You'll need to use GetDTAttrs or call some methods before DisposeDTObject, if you want to do anything useful.

If you merely want to find out what filetype a file is, you need something like:

struct DataTypeHeader *dth = NULL;
    struct DataType *dtn;

    if (dtn = ObtainDataTypeA (DTST_FILE, (APTR)lock, NULL)) {
     dth = dtn->dtn_Header;
 printf("Group: %sn",dth->dth_GroupID);
 printf("BaseName: %sn",dth->dth_BaseName);
     ReleaseDataType(dtn);
}

You can then open the file and handle it as per the base type dth_GroupID

what you usually do is, to create an object (initial state), get/set some attributes (attribute change) and then do layout or extract a type.

in that case there many programs that call remap but doesn't have a gpinfo structure.

is there some info what remap have on initial state ?

AROS dt set it to true.

pd->Remap = TRUE;

when a program has no gpinfo with screen, then remap should be set to false. Maybe AmigaOS AOS does that somewhere.

same can happen on AROS dt too, maybe on AOS dt bitmap (state change and get/set); however it is not clearly defined in which way state changes may affect attributes (screen, colors) or what happens in case some attributes have not been set prior triggering the state change; it's not even exactly clear which states are possible


Your application can find out when a refresh is appropriate by using the Boopsi ICATarget attribute with the ICTargetIDCMP value. This causes the datatype (gadget) to send an IDCMP_IDCMPUpdate IntuiMessage to the window port on certain status changes. That message carries a pointer to one or more attributes and if DTA_Sync is in that list with a value of 1 then the datatype object is ready for refresh.

You get one of these on attaching the datatype object to your window, and also a stream of them when the window is resized.


In order to create a jpeg datatype object (jpeg subclass of picture class)

DTImage = NewDTObject(NULL, DTA_SourceType, DTST_RAM, DTA_BaseName, "jpeg", PDTA_DestMode, PMODE_V43, TAG_DONE);


AROS/workbench/classes/datatypes/text/ V44.5 of the text.datatype replacement sebauer@t-online.de (Sebastian Bauer)

Most OS outside AROS prefer XML but others like doc, docx, ood, rtf, etc


Originally, FTXT was used by the the clipboard for cut/copy function on AmigaOS, current apps use only use raw ASCII data. IFF FTXT is supposed to be Formatted TeXT, but there's very little formatting apparently supported, and this impacts what can be put on the clipboard too (copying a table with all the formatting intact is not easy).

Sound

[edit | edit source]

AROS/workbench/classes/datatypes/sound.datatype based on Stephan Rupprechts sounddt 41 from Aminet

only have two sound datatypes for AROS those being Wave Datatype & 8SVX Datatype. The 8SVX datatype first looked at OM_NEW & Read8SVX. But the Read Function doesn't test for DTST_RAM & an empty filehandle

8bit sound only with 16bit 32bit still needed

Creating New Datatypes

[edit | edit source]

Other text sub-classes are



The original specs provided some support for FTXT, an IFF “data section” or “FORM type” Text is stored in one or more “CHRS” chunks inside an FTXT. Each CHRS contains a stream of 8-bit text compatible with ANSI/ISO standard

  • C0 terminal control characters in the range NUL (hex 00) through hex 1F. Only LF (hex 0A) and ESC (hex 1B) are significant. ESC begins a control sequence. LF is the line terminator, CR (hex 0D) is not recognized as terminator.
  • G0 gui graphic characters in the range hex 20 through hex 7F. SP (hex 20) is the space character. DEL (hex 7F) is the delete character which is not used. The rest are the standard ASCII printable characters “!” (hex 21) through “~” (hex 7E).
  • C1 extended control characters in the range hex 80 through hex 9F. The control sequence starting with CSI (hex 9B) is used for FTXT formatting. All other control sequences and C1 control characters are unused.
  • G1 is the group of extended graphic characters in the range NBSP (hex A0) through “y” (hex FF).

optional “FONS” holds a FontSpecifier as below. It assigns a font to a numbered register so it can be referenced by number within other CHRS chunks. CHRS text uses font 1 until another font is chosen. If font 1 hasn’t been specified, the selected system font is used as font 1. The SGR sequence has parameters 10-19 to select from ten pre-defined fonts meaning only ten FONS chunks would be meaningful within an IFF FTXT file

If application programmers ever start using formatted text as per the FTXT specification, other programmers can no longer assume the clipboard to only include plain text data. Therefore, they'll need to implement proper control-code stripping (again, as per the FTXT specification) in their clipboard handling routines

typedef struct {
  UBYTE id;     /* 0 through 9 is a font id number referenced by an SGR
                   control sequence selective parameter of 10 through 19.
                   Other values are reserved for future standardization. */
  UBYTE pad1;   /* reserved for future use; store 0 here                 */
  UBYTE proportional; /* proportional font-- 0=unknown, 1=no, 2=yes      */
  UBYTE serif;  /* serif font-- 0 = unknown, 1 = no, 2 = yes             */
  char  name[]; /* A NUL-terminated string naming the preferred font.    */
  } FontSpecifier;


Picture

[edit | edit source]

Other datatypes for image files that can store multiple images such as INFO, ICO, ICNS, etc. added "WhichPicture" & "GetNumPictures" PDTA Methods to the AROS picture datatype. We can display multiple images using picture datatypes!

It would be easy to add a function to Count Image Directories (IFD's) for GetNumPictures.

TIFF Datatype can count directories using PDTA_GetNumPictures and it can set a directory current using PDTA_WhichPicture. So now it can display Multiple Images.

Sound

[edit | edit source]

Sound Datatype the Sound_Write function is the SuperMethod. Normally when a datatype has two methods: OM_NEW & DTM_WRITE. The first links the Load function of the datatype with Datatypes Library for getting new datatypes. The second links the Save function of the datatype or if DT Write Method is not DTWM_RAW then it is supposed to defer to the SuperMethod. In this case it would send the DTWM_IFF message to the Sound Datatype function Sound_Write

Should it be better to use DTMethod to decompress on a buffer and then use this uncompressed buffer ? For sound, get the data using the SDTA_Sample (or SDTA_LeftSample/SDTA_RightSample) attributes. You can retrieve sample data using SDTA_Sample tag but AmigaOS lacks support for SDTA_SampleType so you can get only 8-bit sample data there. AROS and MorphOS are more advanced there.

Any applications will query the methods supported by your class. Make sure that if you choose to implement support for the OM_GET/DTA_Methods tag the methods you return should also include the methods supported by your superclass. Otherwise, the user will be unable to use functions such as "Copy" or "Print".


    NAME
        sound.datatype -- root data type for sounds.

    FUNCTION
        The sound.datatype is the super-class for any sound related
        classes.

    METHODS
        OM_NEW -- Create a new sound object.

        OM_GET -- Obtain the value of an attribute.

        OM_SET -- Set the values of multiple attributes.

        OM_UPDATE -- Update the values of multiple attributes.

        OM_DISPOSE -- Dispose of a sound object.

        GM_LAYOUT -- Layout the object and notify the application of the
            title and size.

        GM_HITTEST -- Determine if the object has been hit with the
            mouse.

        GM_GOACTIVE -- Tell the object to go active.  On SELECTDOWN, the
            sound will start playing.

        GM_HANDLEINPUT -- Handle input.  Currently input (other than
            SELECTDOWN) doesn't affect the sound.

        GM_RENDER -- Cause the graphic to render.  Currently the graphic
            for the sound is just a static icon.

        DTM_TRIGGER -- Cause an event to occur.  Currently the only
            trigger event is STM_PLAY, which will cause the sound to start
            playing.

            NOTE: Subclasses which support streaming data access may
                  support more than just the STM_PLAY event.

        DTM_COPY -- Copy the entire sound to the clipboard as 8SVX.

            NOTE: Up to and including V40 sound.datatype never stored
                  a valid VoiceHeader with the file. This was fixed in V44.

                  Subclasses which support streaming data access may not
                  support this method.

        DTM_WRITE -- Write the entire sound to a file as 8SVX.

            NOTE: Up to and including V40 sound.datatype never stored
                  a valid VoiceHeader with the file. This was fixed in V44.

                  Subclasses which support streaming data access may not
                  support this method.

    TAGS
        SDTA_VoiceHeader (struct VoiceHeader *) -- Set and get the base
            information for the sound.  VoiceHeader is defined in
            <datatypes/soundclass.h>.

            NOTE: Up to and including V40 sound.datatype never returned
                  a valid VoiceHeader for OM_GET and the VoiceHeader data
                  was ignored in the OM_NEW/OM_SET cases. This was fixed
                  in V44.

            Applicability is (ISG).

        SDTA_Sample (BYTE *) -- Set and get the sound data.  Starting
            with V40 the sample data does not need to be in CHIP memory.
            Starting with V44 the sample data does not need to start
            on a WORD-aligned address. Setting SDTA_Sample to NULL
            will stop sound replay if sound.datatype was started
            playing with a non-NULL SDTA_Sample parameter.

            The SDTA_Sample parameter selects mono playback on any
            sound channel that is currently available.

            NOTE: For streaming sound playback, SDTA_LeftSample,
                  SDTA_RightSample, and SDTA_Sample will all be
                  NULL (V44).

            Applicability is (ISG).

        SDTA_SampleLength (ULONG) -- Length of the sound data in bytes.
            Starting with V44 the sample data does not need to be
            an even number of bytes. Setting SDTA_SampleLength to 0
            will stop sound replay.

            Applicability is (ISG).

        SDTA_Period (UWORD) -- Set and get the period of the sound
            (in timing intervals per sample). This attribute can be
            used to affect a playing sound. Please note that the
            Amiga audio hardware does not reliably support playback
            periods shorter than 124; sound.datatype will limit the
            period to valid intervals (V44).

            Default for this tag is 394.  Applicability is (ISG).

        SDTA_Volume (UWORD) -- Set and get the volume of the sound. This
            attribute can be used to affect a playing sound.

            Valid range is from 0 to 64.  Default for this tag is 64.
            Applicability is (ISG).

        SDTA_Cycles (UWORD) -- Set and get the number of cycles the
            sound will be played.

            Default for this tag is 1.  Applicability is (ISG).

        The following tags are new for V40.

        SDTA_SignalTask (struct Task *) -- Task to signal when the
            is complete, or if SDTA_Continuous is TRUE, when
            the next buffer is needed.

            Default for this tag is NULL. Applicability is (IS).

        SDTA_SignalBit (ULONG) -- Signal mask to use with SDTA_SignalTask
            or 0 to disable.

            NOTE: Due to a bug in sound.datatype V40 SDTA_SignalBit was
                  actually implemented as a signal mask as opposed to a
                  bit number. The documentation now reflects this. If you
                  intend to use a signal bit number instead of the mask,
                  use the new V44 tag SDTA_SignalBitNumber below.

            Default for this tag is 0. Applicability is (IS).

        SDTA_Continuous (BOOL) -- Used to indicate that the sound
            datatype will be fed a continuous stream of data.

            Default for this tag is FALSE. Applicability is (I).

        The following tags are new for V44.

        SDTA_SignalBitMask (ULONG) -- Signal mask to use with SDTA_SignalTask
            or 0 to disable. This tag is an alias for SDTA_SignalBit.

            Default for this tag is 0. Applicability is (IS).

        SDTA_SignalBitNumber (BYTE) -- Signal bit to use with SDTA_SignalTask
            or -1 to disable.

            Default for this tag is -1. Applicability is (IS).

        SDTA_SamplesPerSec (UWORD) -- Set and get the replay frequency of
            a sound (in Hz). This attribute can be used to affect a playing
            sound. Unlike the SDTA_Period tag, which serves the same purpose,
            this tag automatically takes the system clock value into account.
            Please note that the Amiga audio hardware does not reliably
            support playback rates beyond 28,000 samples per second;
            sound.datatype will limit the replay frequency to valid
            intervals.

            Applicability is (ISG).

        SDTA_ReplayPeriod (struct timeval *) -- Get the replay period,
            i.e. the time it takes for the complete sound to be played.
            If the sample size has not been set yet, the timeval tv_sec
            and tv_micro members will be set to 0. If the sample is to
            be played continuously, both timeval members will be set
            to 0xFFFFFFFF.

            Applicability is (G).

        SDTA_Pan (BYTE) -- Set the stereo panning; this must be set to
            a number in the range of -64..64. A value of -64 will
            pan the sound to the left channel, silencing the right
            channel; a value of 64 will pan the sound to the right
            channel and silence the left channel. To center playback,
            use a panning value of 0. The panning value only takes
            effect if a stereo sound is being played.

            Default for this tag is 0. Applicability is (IS).

        SDTA_FreeSampleData (BOOL) -- This tag controls whether
            sound.datatype will call FreeVec() on the sample data
            attached to an object. If the SDTA_Continuous attribute was
            set to TRUE, sound.datatype will never free any data attached
            to an object. It is safe to attach the same sample to
            more than one channel as sound.datatype will make sure that
            no sample data is freed twice.

            Default for this tag is FALSE. Applicability is (IS).

        SDTA_LeftSample (BYTE *) -- Set and get the left channel sound data.
            The sample data does not need to be in CHIP memory and does
            not need to start on a WORD-aligned address. Setting
            SDTA_LeftSample to NULL will stop sound replay if sound.datatype
            was started playing with a non-NULL SDTA_LeftSample parameter.

            The SDTA_LeftSample parameter alone selects mono playback on
            any left sound channel that is currently available. Used together
            with the SDTA_RightSample parameter, stereo playback on any
            available stereo channels is selected.

            The SDTA_LeftSample parameter takes precedence over the
            the SDTA_Sample parameter.

            NOTE: For streaming sound playback, SDTA_LeftSample,
                  SDTA_RightSample, and SDTA_Sample will all be
                  NULL (V44).

            Applicability is (ISG).

        SDTA_RightSample (BYTE *) -- Set and get the right channel sound data
.
            The sample data does not need to be in CHIP memory and does
            not need to start on a WORD-aligned address. Setting
            SDTA_RightSample to NULL will stop sound replay if sound.datatype
            was started playing with a non-NULL SDTA_RightSample parameter.

            The SDTA_RightSample parameter alone selects mono playback on
            any right sound channel that is currently available. Used
            together with the SDTA_LeftSample parameter, stereo playback
            on any available stereo channels is selected.

            The SDTA_RightSample parameter takes precedence over the
            the SDTA_Sample parameter.

            NOTE: For streaming sound playback, SDTA_LeftSample,
                  SDTA_RightSample, and SDTA_Sample will all be
                  NULL (V44).

            Applicability is (ISG).

        SDTA_SyncSampleChange (BOOL) -- If SDTA_Continuous was set to TRUE,
            sound.datatype will expect a continuous stream of data to be
            played. By specifying "SDTA_SyncSampleChange,TRUE" you request
            that new sound data will be played only if the old data has
            been played completely (otherwise, playback would restart
            immediately with the new sound). If playback is currently in
            progress, the Task to change the sample data will be made to
            wait until playback of the old sound has finished.

            Default for this tag is FALSE. Applicability is (IS).

        DTA_Immediate (BOOL) -- Select and query whether playback should
            start immediately after the object has passed the layout
            process.

            Default for this tag is FALSE. Applicability is (ISG).

        DTA_Repeat (BOOL) -- Select and query whether playback should
            loop indefinitely, regardless of the current SDTA_Cycles
            settings.

            Default for this tag is FALSE. Applicability is (ISG).

    NOTES
        You cannot switch between mono and stereo playback on the fly while
        the sound is still playing. First, stop the sound, then change the
        SDTA_Sample/SDTA_LeftSample/SDTA_LeftSample attributes.

        The sound.datatype implementation has been cleaned up for V44 to
        allow for streaming subclasses to be written. Such subclasses will
        always return NULL when their SDTA_LeftSample, SDTA_RightSample and
        SDTA_Sample attributes are queried. However, they will never return
        0 for the SDTA_SampleLength and SDTA_SamplesPerSec attributes since
        these can be used to calculate the length of the entire sample.
        Streaming subclasses will respond to the DTM_TRIGGER method, to
        start, stop playback, etc. but may not support any other methods
        which rely upon the entire sample to reside in memory.


Hypertext

AmigaOS users experimented with this to provide HTML, pictures, animations and audio combined

AROS has nothing like this so far



How to compile datatypes

[edit | edit source]

Build dtdesc tool, this is what you need. The source is located in tools/dtdesc. This tool is used in order to make a datatype descriptor from .dtd file. Class library is built in a usual way, using a usual crosscompiler.

A package so that it will be easy to build datatypes independently of the whole build system. Compiled createdtdesc and examinedtdesc for native AROS. One other tool that is needed is genmodule.

What is needed is a READ/WRITEPIXELARRAY interface, that replaces the former SET PDTA_BitMap and GET PDTA_DestBtMap interface. If a Bitmap was SET (legacy interface), it gets converted to LUT8 format during layout. A destination BitMap is only created, if this is set by Prefs or an applications requests it by GET PDTA_DestBitMap.

RENDER Method chooses one of these functions for displaying

  • cgfx/WritePixelArray: Truecolor pic -> Truecolor screen
  • cgfx/WriteLUTPixelArray: Colormapped pic -> Truecolor screen
  • graphics/WriteChunkyPixels: Colormapped pic -> Colormapped chunky screen
  • graphics/BltBitMapRastPort: Colormapped pic -> Colormapped planar screen

Truecolor pic -> Colormapped screen is handled during layout, with a fixed colormap and some simple but fast dithering algorithm (one dimensional error propagation). Floyd-Steinberg dithering algorithm could be used for slightly better results (two dimensional error propagation). Much better results could be obtained by a calculated colormap (e.g. median cut algorithm), but this is much slower.

Colormapped data is always stored in LUT8 format, or BitMap format for legacy. Truecolor data is always stored in ARGB format. This isn't memory effective, but makes things more simple and faster. Some optimization could be done here.

Created a template for new graphic datatypes here.

    FUNCTION
        The amigaguide.datatype is the DataTypes class for AmigaGuide
        databases.

    METHODS

            "LINK RX", "LINK RXS" and "LINK SYSTEM". These commands
            present a potential security hole if, for example,
            AmigaGuide documents are displayed in an e-mail reader
            program. To disabled them, set the AGA_Secure tag to
            TRUE; in this case AmigaGuide will still recognize the
            commands but will not execute them.

            Applicability is (ISG). Defaults to FALSE. (V41)

    COMMANDS
        Commands must start in the very first column of a line, and
        can be the only thing on the line.  If a line begins with an
        @ sign, then it is interpreted as a command.

        The following commands can be used in the global section
        of a database.

          @$VER: <AmigaDOS version string>
          Specify the version of the database.  This command
          must always be in upper-case.

          @(C) <copyright>
          Specify the copyright notice for the database.

          @AUTHOR <name>
          Specify the author of the database.

          Must be the very first line of an AmigaGuide document.

          @DNODE <name>
          Indicates the start of a dynamic node.  The AmigaGuide system
          uses the callback hooks to obtain the document from a document
          provider.  This is obsolete, do not use.

          @FONT <name> <size>
          Specify the font to use for the database.

          @HEIGHT <chars>
          How high, in characters, the largest document is.

          @HELP <name/node>
          Specify the name of the help node, which will be accessed
          by the Help button.  Can be a node in an external database.

          @INDEX <name/node>
          Specify the name of the index node, which will be accessed
          by the Index button.  Can be a node in an external database.

          @MACRO <name> <commands>
          This is used to construct a macro.  A macro can be used the
          same way as an attribute command, and can only consist of
          other attribute commands or macros.  The macro list is
          searched before the attribute command list is searched.  This
          is new for V40.

              @macro icom "@{i}$1 @{ui}"

              ...

              This is an @{icom "example"} of macro.

          @MASTER <path>
          Complete path of the source document used to define this
          AmigaGuide database.

          @NODE <name> <title>
          Indicate the start of a node (page/article/section). The first
          node, or main node, must be named MAIN.  MAIN must be the master
          table of contents for the database.

          @ONCLOSE <rxcommand>
          This is used to specify an ARexx macro file to execute when
          the database is closed.  The return value of the script has no
          effect on the database.  New for V40.

          @ONOPEN <rxcommand>
          This is used to specify an ARexx macro file to execute when
          the database is opened.  If the script returns an error, then
          the database will not be opened.  New for V40.

          @REM <remark>
          @REMARK <remark>
          This is used to place remarks in the database.  These remarks
          are not displayed to the user.

          @SMARTWRAP
          This is used to indicate that the text of the database is to
          wordwrapped using a more intelligent algorithm than @WORDWRAP.
          A paragraph doesn't need to be restricted to one physical
          line, but paragraphs must be separated by two line feeds.
          New for V40.

          @TAB <num>
          Number of spaces in a tab.  Defaults to 8.  New for V40.

          @WIDTH <chars>
          How wide, in characters, the largest document is.

          @WORDWRAP
          Turn on wordwrapping for the whole database.  A paragraph must
          be restrained to one physical line.

        The following commands can be used within nodes of a database.

          \
          A backslash is the escape character.  A backslash in front of
          the @ sign is used to escape it. The backslash has no effect
          as an escape character inside commands such as @ONOPEN or
          @{".." LINK ..}; in cases like these it is treated as a
          regular character.
          Please note that AmigaGuide V35 does not treat the backslash
          character as an escape character.

          @ENDNODE <name>
          Indicate the end of a node.  Must start at the beginning of a
          line.

          This is used to specify an ARexx macro file to execute when
          the node is closed.  The return value of the script has no
          effect on the node.  New for V40.

          @ONOPEN <rxcommand>
          This is used to specify an ARexx macro file to execute when
          the node is opened.  If the script returns an error, then
          the node will not be opened.  New for V40.

  • V40 Amiga OS 3
  • V44 Amiga OS 3.5+

Commodore and Electronics Arts developed the IFF (Interchangable File Format) to cover pictures (ILBM), sound (8SVX) and text (FTXT) etc. So for AmigaOS 3.0 introduced the Datatype library which can decode file formats easily using different classes which can be installed as they are needed.

Include the following headers to use datatypes:

#include <proto/datatypes.h>
#include <datatypes/datatypes.h>

To use datatypes, you need to open the datatypes library along with the other libraries in your program:

DataTypesBase = OpenLibrary ("datatypes.library", 39)

To create a Datatype Object, use the NewDTObject function as below:

Object o = NewDTObject(APTR name, Tag1[, tag2, tag3, ... ] )
Object o = NewDTObjectA(APTR name, struct TagItem *attrs)

The type of source that Datatypes can use include Clipboard (DTST_CLIPBOARD), a file (DTST_FILE), RAM (DTST_RAM, DTST_MEMORY), or a hotlink (DTST_HOTLINK).

The group of objects you can use for Datatypes include:

GID_SYSTEM = System file, directory, program, library, device etc.
GID_TEXT = Text file.
GID_DOCUMENT = Formatted text with graphics etc.
GID_SOUND = Sounds.
GID_INSTRUMENT = Musical instruments.
GID_MUSIC = A musical score.
GID_PICTURE = A still picture.
GID_ANIMATION = An animated picture
GID_MOVIE = Animation with audio track.

Example, read a object from the clipboard:

gd->gd_DisplayObject = NewDTObject ((APTR)gd->gd_Unit,
   DTA_SourceType, DTST_CLIPBOARD,
   GA_Immediate, TRUE,
   GA_RelVerify, TRUE,
   DTA_TextAttr, (ULONG) & gd->gd_TextAttr,
   TAG_DONE))

The parameters of this functions uses Tags as defined in datatypes/datatypesclasses.h and intuition/gadgetclass.h

gf->gd_Unit = the Clipboard unit number
DTST_Clipboard = the Clipboard is the data source
GA_Immediate = Should the object be active when displayed
GA_RelVerify = Verify that the pointer is over the object when it is selected
gd_->gd_TextAttr = Pointer to text font attributes

This example read a file to be displayed from 'pathname' and it is of type picture (ILBM, JPEG, GIF, PNG etc):

picDT = NewDTObject(pathname, DTA_SourceType, DTST_File, DTA_GroupID, GID_PICTURE,
   GA__Left, 10, GA_Top, 10, TAG_END); 

picDT = Object databastype created.
pathname = String containing path of the file to load.
DTST_FILE = Source is a file.
GID_Picture = Group of objects file must be long to i.e. Pictures.

Once we have a datatype loaded with NewDTObject, the program should create a window and then the datatype object can be added to window or a requester, simply with single command:

LONG realposition = AddDTObject( struct Window *win, struct Requester *req, Object *obj, LONG pos);

Parameters:

win = Pointer to Window object (if not a Requester).
req = Pointer to an optional Requester object (if not a window)
obj = The Datatype object created with NewDTObject function.
pos = Position in gadget list. Use -1 to add it to end of the list.

realpos = AddDTObject(win, NULL, pictDT, -1);

Once a datatype object is no longer required, it is removed from the window and disposed and memory released

position = RemoveDTObject(window, object);


void DisposeDTObject(Object *o)


RemoveDTObject(win, gd->gd_DisplayObject);


DisposeDTObject (gd->gd_DisplayObject);


To get attributes from a datatype object, you can use the the GetDTAttrs function

GetDTAttrs (gd->gd_DisplayObject, DTA_DataType, (ULONG)&dtn, TAG_DONE);


and examing the results from the dtn structure you can retreive:

dtn->dtn_Header->dth_Name = Descriptive name of the datatype.
dtn->dtn_Header->dth_GroupID = The group the datatype belongs to

The function GetDTString returns a localised Datatypes string of the id given. This string could be syst, text, docu, soun, inst, musi, pict, anim or movi (see datatypes.h).


GetDTString (dtn->dtn_Header->dth_GroupID)

Function

Add an object to the window 'win' or requester 'req' at the position in the gadget list specified by the 'pos' argument.

Inputs

win -- window the object should be added to; may be NULL in which case

        nothing is done

req -- requester the object should be added to obj -- the object to add; may be NULL in which case nothing is done pos -- the position of the object in the list

Result

The position where the object was added (may be different from what you asked for).

Notes

The object will receice a GM_LAYOUT message with the gpl_Initial field set to 1 when the object is added.

CopyDTMethods()

ULONG * CopyDTMethods(

        ULONG * methods,
        ULONG * include,
        ULONG * exclude );

Function

Copy and modify an array of methods. This is used by subclass implementors who want to add supported methods to an existing class.

Inputs

methods -- array of methods; may be NULL include -- array of methods to include terminated with ~0UL; may be NULL method -- array of methods to exclude terminated with ~0UL; may be NULL.

Result

The new array of methods or NULL if something went wrong (like out of memory).

Inputs

methods -- array of methods; may be NULL include -- array of methods to include terminated with ~0UL; may be NULL method -- array of methods to exclude terminated with ~0UL; may be NULL

            the dtm_Command and dtm_Method fields may have the options
            described in the FindTriggerMethod to filter out the given
            entries

Result

The new array of methods or NULL if something went wrong (like out of memory).

Notes

dtm_Label and dtm_Command must be valid as long as the object exists as they are not copied.

   A subclass that implment DTM_TRIGGER must send unknown trigger

methods to its superclass.

assume you are trying to manipulate images? Load images using datatypes but read image data to ARGB array using ReadPixelArray methods and dispose source object. For images, to get the raw data use PDTM_READPIXELARRAY (that's the uncompressed data).
