* Introduce, and implement as usefully as I can in all front ends, aSimon Tatham2009-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | new function in the drawing API which permits the display of text from outside basic ASCII. A fallback mechanism is provided so that puzzles can give a list of strings they'd like to display in order of preference and the system will return the best one it can manage; puzzles are required to cope with ASCII-only front ends. [originally from svn r8793]

This is now done centrally in drawing.c, and the front end status bar function need only do what it says on the tin. While I'm modifying the prototype of drawing_init(), I've also renamed it drawing_new() for the same reason as random_new() (it _allocates_ a drawing object, rather than just initialising one passed in).

* Substantial infrastructure upheaval. I've separated the drawing APISimon Tatham2005-08-18
as seen by the back ends from the one implemented by the front end, and shoved a piece of middleware (drawing.c) in between to permit interchange of multiple kinds of the latter. I've also added a number of functions to the drawing API to permit printing as well as on-screen drawing, and retired print.py in favour of integrated printing done by means of that API. The immediate visible change is that print.py is dead, and each puzzle now does its own printing: where you would previously have typed `print.py solo 2x3', you now type `solo --print 2x3' and it should work in much the same way. Advantages of the new mechanism available right now: - Map is now printable, because the new print function can make use of the output from the existing game ID decoder rather than me having to replicate all those fiddly algorithms in Python. - the new print functions can cope with non-initial game states, which means each puzzle supporting --print also supports --with-solutions. - there's also a --scale option permitting users to adjust the size of the printed puzzles. Advantages which will be available at some point: - the new API should permit me to implement native printing mechanisms on Windows and OS X. [originally from svn r6190]
