;;; Commentary:

;; Quick intro

;; epix-mode is an extension of c++-mode with some extra commands for 
;; editing ePiX files.  The commands are
;;  C-cC-x    run epix on the current file (x for epiX, I guess)
;;  C-cC-l    run elaps on the current file (l for eLaps)
;; The output of the run can be seen by
;;  C-cC-r    show the output buffer  (r for Results)
;; and in case of errors, they can be jumped to, in sequence, with
;;  C-c`      go to the next error
;; The file created by elaps can be viewed with
;;  C-cC-v    view the output file  (v for View)
;; By default, the output will be encapsulated postscript.  This
;;  can be changed by changing the customizable variable
;;  `epix-elaps-output-format'.  This can be changed for the current
;;  emacs session with `C-cC-r'.
;; An unwanted ePiX process can be killed with
;;  C-cC-k
;; A reminder of some ePiX commands will be given with 
;;  C-cC-h    get help on ePiX
;; If the file extension is .flx, then there will also be the commands
;;  C-cC-f    run flix on the current file
;;  C-cC-w    view the mng file.
;;
;; To install, put both epix.el and epix.info in the emacs load path.
;; Adding the lines
;;   (autoload 'epix-mode "epix" "ePiX editing mode" t)
;;   (autoload 'flix-mode "epix" "flix editing mode" t)
;; to your .emacs file will ensure that the command is always available.
;; Adding the lines
;;   (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.xp" . epix-mode) auto-mode-alist))
;;   (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.flx" . flix-mode) auto-mode-alist))
;; will ensure that any file ending in .xp or .flx will be recognized as 
;; an ePiX file or flix file, and started in the proper mode.
;;
;; Some variables that the user may wish to change (via customization
;; or otherwise) are
;;  epix-postscript-viewer  (default "gv")
;;     The command used to view postscript files.
;;  epix-mng-viewer  (default "display")
;;     The command used to view mng files.
;;  epix-mark-files-as-epix (default nil)
;;     Setting this to t will ensure that any file in ePiX mode
;;     will be marked with a /* -*-ePiX-* */ so that next 
;;     time it is opened, it will be put in epix-mode.  (This isn't necessary 
;;     if auto-mode-alist is set up properly.)
;;  epix-mark-files-as-flix (default nil)
;;     Setting this to t will ensure that any file in flix mode
;;     will be marked with a /* -*-flix-* */ so that next 
;;     time it is opened, it will be put in flix-mode.  (This isn't necessary 
;;     if auto-mode-alist is set up properly.)
;;  epix-insert-template-in-empty-buffer (default nil)
;;     Setting this to t will cause any empty buffer which is put in
;;     ePiX mode to have a skeleton of commands inserted into it.
;;     The skeleton can be inserted at any time with the command
;;     epix-insert-template
;;  epix-template
;;     This is the skeleton which will inserted.
;;     By default, it is
;;       #include \"epix.h\"
;;       using namespace ePiX;
;;
;;       int main()
;;       {
;;         picture(P(,), P(,), \"\");
;;
;;         begin();
;;
;;         end();
;;       }
;;
;;  epix-flix-template
;;     This is the skeleton which will inserted.
;;     By default, it is
;;       #include \"epix.h\"
;;       using namespace ePiX;
;;
;;       int main(int argc, char* argv[])
;;       {
;;        if (argc == 3)
;;         {
;;          char* arg;
;;          double temp1, temp2;
;;          temp1=strtod(argv[1], &arg);
;;          temp2=strtod(argv[2], &arg);
;;
;;          tix()=temp1/temp2;
;;         }
;;         picture(P(,), P(,), \"\");

picture(P(a,b), P(c,d), \"height[dim] x width dim\");

The actual picture commands need to be between
begin();
and
end();

Colors
------
RGB(r,g,b);
Red(d);    Green(d);    Blue(d);    Black(d);      White(d);

CMY(c,m,y);
Cyan(d);   Magenta(d);  Yellow(d);  CMY_Black(d);  CMY_White(d);

CMYK(c,m,y,k);
CyanK(d);  MagentaK(d); YellowK(d); CMYK_Black(d); CMYK_White(d);

Primary densities interpolate linearly between anti-saturation (-1),
no color(0), full saturation (1), and saturation on all channels (2 
or -2). Densities are meaningful mod 4. Colors can be superposed, 
blended, inverted, filtered, and scaled.

Line and fill styles
-----------
Widths:  plain([Color]); bold([Color]); bbold([Color]);
         pen(Color, [len]);  pen(len);
         base(Color, [len]); base(len);
Styles:  solid(); dashed(); dotted();
         line_style(string);
Fill:    fill(Color); fill(bool); nofill();

The base pen draws an underlayer/border if wider than the line pen.
line_style accepts a WYSIWYG pattern of spaces, dashes, and periods.

Lines
-----
line(P(a,b),P(c,d));
Line(P(a,b),P(c,d));
Line(P(a,b),m);

The line goes from one point to the other,
the Line is that part of the entire line which lies inside the
bounding box.

Polygons
--------
triangle(P(a,b),P(c,d),P(e,f));
rect(P(a,b),P(c,d));
quad(P(a,b),P(c,d),P(e,f),P(g,h));

h_log_axis_masklabels(P(a,b),P(c,d),n,P(u,v));
v_log_axis_masklabels(P(a,b),P(c,d),n,P(u,v));

The axis commands will put n+1 evenly spaced tick marks on the line. 
The labeling commands will put n+1 evenly spaced labels,
masklabels will put the label on an opaque white rectangle.

Points
------
spot(P(a,b)); dot(P(a,b)); ddot(P(a,b)); box(P(a,b)); bbox(P(a,b));
circ(P(a,b));
ring(P(a,b));

spot, dot and ddot are various sized (in decreasing order) dots.
A circ is a small circle with white interior.
A ring is a small circle with transparent interior.

Arrows
------
arrow(P(a,b),P(c,d));
dart(P(a,b),P(c,d));

A dart is a small arrow.

Labels
------
label(P(a,b),P(u,v),\"label\");

label(P(a,b),P(u,v),\"label\",posn);
masklabel(P(a,b),P(u,v),\"label\");
masklabel(P(a,b),\"label\");
masklabel(P(a,b),P(u,v),\"label\",posn);

These commands put a label at the point P(a,b).
P(u,v) is an offset (in true points).
posn will specify the position of the label relative to the basepoint,
and can be c(enter), l(eft), r(ight), t(op), b(ottom) or an
appropriate pair.

Text attributes
---------------

plot(Integral(f),a,b,n);
plot(Integral(f),x0,a,b,n);

plot(Deriv(f)...) plots f'.

Tangents
--------
tan_line(f,t);

The vector_field elements will have true length.

Fractals
--------
const int seed[] = {N, k1, k2, k3, ... , kn};
fractal(P(a,b),P(c,d),D,seed);

seed determines a path made up of equal space line segments, each of
which can point in the direction 2 pi k/N.  Each integer after N in seed
will specify the direction of the next segment.
fractal will recursively replace each segment in seed by a copy of the
original, up to a depth of D, and draw it from P(a,b) to P(c,d)."

(define-derived-mode flix-mode c++-mode "flix"
  "flix mode is a major mode for editing flix files.
It is C++ mode with a couple of extra commands:

Run flix on the file being visited:   C-cC-f
View the mng output:                  C-cC-w
Get help on flix:                     C-cC-h

Since a flix file is a valid ePiX file, the
following commands are also available:
Run epix on the file being visited:   C-cC-x
Run elaps on the file being visited:  C-cC-l
View the postscript output:           C-cC-v
In the case of errors:
Go to the (next) error:               C-c`

An ePiX file isn't necessarily a flix file,
but the command
M-x epix-epix-to-flix
will try to turn an ePiX file into a flix file.
