% \section{Coffin affine transformations}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2019-01-23]
%   {

%   \end{syntax}
%   Rotates the \meta{coffin} by the given \meta{angle} (given in

%   \meta{y-scale} in the horizontal and vertical directions,
%   respectively. The two scale factors should be given as real numbers.

% \section{Joining and using coffins}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2019-01-22]

%     ~~\Arg{x-offset} \Arg{y-offset}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function attaches \meta{coffin_2} to \meta{coffin_1} such that the bounding box
%   of \meta{coffin_1} is not altered, \emph{i.e.}~\meta{coffin_2} can
%   protrude outside of the bounding box of the coffin. The alignment
%   is carried out by first calculating \meta{handle_1}, the
%   point of intersection of \meta{coffin_1-pole_1} and
%   \meta{coffin_1-pole_2}, and \meta{handle_2}, the point of intersection
%   of \meta{coffin_2-pole_1} and \meta{coffin_2-pole_2}. \meta{coffin_2} is
%   then attached to \meta{coffin_1} such that the relationship between
%   \meta{handle_1} and \meta{handle_2} is described by the \meta{x-offset}
%   and \meta{y-offset}. The two offsets should be given as dimension
%   expressions.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2019-01-22]
%   {
%     \coffin_join:NnnNnnnn, \coffin_join:cnnNnnnn,

%     ~~\meta{coffin_2} \Arg{coffin_2-pole_1} \Arg{coffin_2-pole_2}
%     ~~\Arg{x-offset} \Arg{y-offset}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function joins \meta{coffin_2} to \meta{coffin_1} such that the bounding box
%   of \meta{coffin_1} may expand. The new bounding
%   box covers the area containing the bounding boxes of the two
%   original coffins. The alignment is carried out by first calculating
%   \meta{handle_1}, the point of intersection of \meta{coffin_1-pole_1} and
%   \meta{coffin_1-pole_2}, and \meta{handle_2}, the point of intersection
%   of \meta{coffin_2-pole_1} and \meta{coffin_2-pole_2}. \meta{coffin_2} is
%   then attached to \meta{coffin_1} such that the relationship between
%   \meta{handle_1} and \meta{handle_2} is described by the \meta{x-offset}
%   and \meta{y-offset}. The two offsets should be given as dimension
%   expressions.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2012-07-20]
%   {\coffin_typeset:Nnnnn, \coffin_typeset:cnnnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{coffin_typeset:Nnnnn} \meta{coffin} \Arg{pole_1} \Arg{pole_2}
%     ~~\Arg{x-offset} \Arg{y-offset}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Typesetting is carried out by first calculating \meta{handle}, the
%   point of intersection of \meta{pole_1} and \meta{pole_2}. The coffin
%   is then typeset in horizontal mode such that the relationship between the
%   current reference point in the document and the \meta{handle} is described
%   by the \meta{x-offset} and \meta{y-offset}. The two offsets should
%   be given as dimension expressions. Typesetting a coffin is
%   therefore analogous to carrying out an alignment where the
%   \enquote{parent} coffin is the current insertion point.
% \end{function}

%
% \begin{function}{\coffin_dp:N, \coffin_dp:c}

% \section{Coffin diagnostics}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2011-09-02]
%   {\coffin_display_handles:Nn, \coffin_display_handles:cn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{coffin_display_handles:Nn} \meta{coffin} \Arg{color}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function first calculates the intersections between all of
%   the \meta{poles} of the \meta{coffin} to give a set of
%   \meta{handles}. It then prints the  \meta{coffin} at the current
%   location in the source, with the  position of the \meta{handles}
%   marked on the coffin. The \meta{handles} are labelled as part
%   of this process: the locations of the \meta{handles} and the labels
%   are both printed in the \meta{color} specified.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2011-09-02]
%   {\coffin_mark_handle:Nnnn, \coffin_mark_handle:cnnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{coffin_mark_handle:Nnnn} \meta{coffin} \Arg{pole_1} \Arg{pole_2} \Arg{color}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function first calculates the \meta{handle} for the
%   \meta{coffin} as defined by the intersection of \meta{pole_1} and
%   \meta{pole_2}. It then marks the position of the \meta{handle}
%   on the \meta{coffin}. The \meta{handle} are labelled as part of
%   this process: the location of the \meta{handle} and the label are
%   both printed in the \meta{color} specified.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[updated = 2015-08-01]
%   {\coffin_show_structure:N, \coffin_show_structure:c}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{coffin_show_structure:N} \meta{coffin}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function shows the structural information about the
%   \meta{coffin} in the terminal. The width, height and depth of the
%   typeset material are given, along with the location of all of the
%   poles of the coffin.
%
%   Notice that the poles of a coffin are defined by four values:
%   the $x$ and $y$ co-ordinates of a point that the pole
%   passes through and the $x$- and $y$-components of a
%   vector denoting the direction of the pole. It is the ratio between
%   the later, rather than the absolute values, which determines the
%   direction of the pole.

%     \cs{coffin_log_structure:N} \meta{coffin}
%   \end{syntax}
%   This function writes the structural information about the
%   \meta{coffin} in the log file. See also \cs{coffin_show_structure:N}
%   which displays the result in the terminal.
% \end{function}

%     \cs{coffin_show:N} \meta{coffin}
%     \cs{coffin_log:N} \meta{coffin}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Shows full details of poles and contents of the \meta{coffin} in the
%   terminal or log file.  See \cs{coffin_show_structure:N} and
%   \cs{box_show:N} to show separately the pole structure and the
%   contents.

%     \cs{coffin_log:Nnn} \meta{coffin} \Arg{intexpr_1} \Arg{intexpr_2}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Shows poles and contents of the \meta{coffin} in the terminal or log
%   file, showing the first \meta{intexpr_1} items in the coffin, and
%   descending into \meta{intexpr_2} group levels.  See

% \subsection{Basic coffin functions}
%
% There are a number of basic functions needed for creating coffins and
% placing material in them. This all relies on the following data
% structures.
%
% \begin{macro}[EXP]{\@@_to_value:N}
%   Coffins are a two-part structure and we rely on the internal nature of
%   box allocation to make everything work. As such, we need an interface
%   to turn coffin identifiers into numbers. For the purposes here, the
%   signature allowed is |N| despite the nature of the underlying primitive.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_eq:NN \@@_to_value:N \tex_number:D
%    \end{macrocode}
% \end{macro}
%
% \begin{macro}[EXP, pTF]{\coffin_if_exist:N, \coffin_if_exist:c}
%   Several of the higher-level coffin functions would give multiple
%   errors if the coffin does not exist. A cleaner way to handle this
%   is provided here: both the box and the coffin structure are
%   checked.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\prg_new_conditional:Npnn \coffin_if_exist:N #1 { p , T , F , TF }

% \begin{macro}{\@@_if_exist:NT}

% \subsection{Coffins: calculation of pole intersections}
%
% \begin{macro}{\@@_calculate_intersection:Nnn}
% \begin{macro}{\@@_calculate_intersection:nnnnnnnn}
% \begin{macro}{\@@_calculate_intersection:nnnnnn}
%   The lead off in finding intersections is to recover the two poles
%   and then hand off to the auxiliary for the actual calculation. There
%   may of course not be an intersection, for which an error trap is
%   needed.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \@@_calculate_intersection:Nnn #1#2#3
  {
    \@@_get_pole:NnN #1 {#2} \l_@@_pole_a_tl
    \@@_get_pole:NnN #1 {#3} \l_@@_pole_b_tl
    \bool_set_false:N \l_@@_error_bool
    \exp_last_two_unbraced:Noo
      \@@_calculate_intersection:nnnnnnnn
        \l_@@_pole_a_tl \l_@@_pole_b_tl

      {

        \dim_zero:N \l_@@_x_dim
        \dim_zero:N \l_@@_y_dim
      }
  }
%    \end{macrocode}
%   The two poles passed here each have four values (as dimensions),
%   ($a$, $b$, $c$, $d$) and
%   ($a'$, $b'$, $c'$, $d'$). These are arguments
%   $1$--$4$ and $5$--$8$, respectively. In both
%   cases $a$ and  $b$ are the co-ordinates of a point on the
%   pole and $c$ and $d$ define the direction of the pole. Finding
%   the intersection depends on the directions of the poles, which are
%   given by $d / c$ and $d' / c'$. However, if one of the poles
%   is either horizontal or vertical then one or more of $c$, $d$,
%   $c'$ and $d'$ are zero and a special case is needed.
%    \begin{macrocode}
\cs_new_protected:Npn \@@_calculate_intersection:nnnnnnnn

  {
    \dim_compare:nNnTF {#3} = \c_zero_dim
%    \end{macrocode}
%   The case where the first pole is vertical.  So the $x$-component
%   of the interaction is at $a$. There is then a test on the
%   second pole: if it is also vertical then there is an error.
%    \begin{macrocode}

          { \bool_set_true:N \l_@@_error_bool }
%    \end{macrocode}
%   The second pole may still be horizontal, in which case the
%   $y$-component of the intersection is $b'$. If not,
%   \[
%     y = \frac{d'}{c'} \left ( a - a' \right ) + b'
%   \]
%   with the $x$-component already known to be |#1|.
%    \begin{macrocode}
          {
            \dim_set:Nn \l_@@_y_dim

                          ( \dim_to_fp:n {#8} / \dim_to_fp:n {#7} )
                        * ( \dim_to_fp:n {#1} - \dim_to_fp:n {#5} )
                        + \dim_to_fp:n {#6}

                  }
              }
          }
      }
%    \end{macrocode}
%   If the first pole is not vertical then it may be horizontal. If so,
%   then the procedure is essentially the same as that already done but
%   with the $x$- and $y$-components interchanged.
%    \begin{macrocode}
      {
        \dim_compare:nNnTF {#4} = \c_zero_dim

              {
%    \end{macrocode}
%   Now we deal with the case where the second pole may be vertical, or
%   if not we have
%   \[
%     x = \frac{c'}{d'} \left ( b - b' \right ) + a'
%   \]
%   which is again handled by the same auxiliary.

              }
          }
%    \end{macrocode}
%   The first pole is neither horizontal nor vertical. To avoid even
%   more complexity, we now work out both slopes and pass to an auxiliary.
%    \begin{macrocode}
          {

%    \end{macrocode}
%   Assuming the two poles are not parallel, then the intersection point is

%   The bounding box of the coffin needs to be rotated, and to do this

%    \begin{macrocode}

%    \end{macrocode}
%   The correction of the box position itself takes place here. The idea
%   is that the bounding box for a coffin is tight up to the content, and
%   has the reference point at the bottom-left. The $x$-direction is
%   handled by moving the content by the difference in the positions of
%   the bounding box and the content left edge. The $y$-direction is
%   dealt with by moving the box down by any depth it has acquired. The
%   internal box is used here to allow for the next step.
%    \begin{macrocode}

      }
%    \end{macrocode}
%   If there have been any previous rotations then the size of the
%   bounding box will be bigger than the contents. This can be corrected
%   easily by setting the size of the box to the height and width of the
%   content. As this operation requires setting box dimensions and these
%   transcend grouping, the safe way to do this is to use the internal box
%   and to reset the result into the target box.
%    \begin{macrocode}

% \begin{macro}{\@@_align:NnnNnnnnN}
%   The internal function aligns the two coffins into a third one, but
%   performs no corrections on the resulting coffin poles. The process
%   begins by finding the points of intersection for the poles for each
%   of the input coffins. Those for the first coffin are worked out after
%   those for the second coffin, as this allows the `primed'
%   storage area to be used for the second coffin. The `real' box
%   offsets are then calculated, before using these to re-box the
%   input coffins. The default poles are then set up, but the final result
%   depends on how the bounding box is being handled.

%   Transferring structures from one coffin to another requires that the
%   positions are updated by the offset between the two coffins. This is
%   done by mapping over the property list of the source coffins, moving
%   as appropriate and saving to the new coffin data structures. The
%   test for a |-| means that the structures from the parent coffins
%   are uniquely labelled and do not depend on the order of alignment.
%   The pay off for this is that |-| should not be used in coffin pole
%   or handle names, and that multiple alignments do not result in a
