# Math

We obviously need to deal with lots of points, rectangles, and transformations
in MuPDF.

## fz_point

Points are fairly self evident. The `fz_make_point` utility function is for use
with Visual Studio that doesn't yet support the C99 struct initializer syntax.

	typedef struct {
		float x, y;
	} fz_point;

	fz_point fz_make_point(float x, float y);

## fz_rect and fz_irect

Rectangles are represented by two pairs of coordinates. The `x0`, `y0` pair
have the smallest values, and in the normal coordinate space used by MuPDF that
is the upper left corner. The `x1`, `y1` pair have the largest values,
typically the lower right corner.

In order to represent an infinite unbounded area, we use an `x0` that is larger
than the `x1`.

	typedef struct {
		float x0, y0;
		float x1, y1;
	} fz_rect;

	const fz_rect fz_infinite_rect = { 1, 1, -1, -1 };
	const fz_rect fz_empty_rect = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
	const fz_rect fz_unit_rect = { 0, 0, 1, 1 };

	fz_rect fz_make_rect(float x0, float y0, float x1, float y1);

## fz_matrix

Our matrix structure is a row-major 3x3 matrix with the last column always
`[ 0 0 1 ]`. This is represented as a struct with six fields, in the same order as
in PDF and Postscript. The identity matrix is a global constant, for easy
access.

	/ a b 0 \
	| c d 0 |
	\ e f 1 /

	typedef struct {
		float a, b, c, d, e, f;
	} fz_matrix;

	const fz_matrix fz_identity = { 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0 };

	fz_matrix fz_make_matrix(float a, float b, float c, float d, float e, float f);

## fz_quad

Sometimes we need to represent a non-axis aligned rectangular-ish area, such as
the area covered by some rotated text. For this we use a quad representation,
using a points for each of the upper/lower/left/right corners as seen from the
reading direction of the text represented.

	typedef struct {
		fz_point ul, ur, ll, lr;
	} fz_quad;

	is expressed in 90 degree increments (`0`, `90`, `180`, and `270` are
	valid values).
