 * COPYRIGHT: Written by John Cunningham Bowler, 2015.
 * Revised by Glenn Randers-Pehrson, 2017, to add buffer-size check.
 * To the extent possible under law, the authors have waived all copyright and
 * related or neighboring rights to this work.  This work is published from:
 * United States.
 *
 * Generate a PNG with an alpha channel, correctly.
 *
 * This is a test case generator; the resultant PNG files are only of interest
 * to those of us who care about whether the edges of circles are green, red,
 * or yellow.
 *
 * The program generates an RGB+Alpha PNG of a given size containing the given
 * shapes on a transparent background:
 *
 *  genpng width height { shape }
 *    shape ::= color width shape x1 y1 x2 y2
 *
 * 'color' is:
 *
 *  black white red green yellow blue brown purple pink orange gray cyan
 *
 * The point is to have colors that are linguistically meaningful plus that old
 * bugbear of the department store dress murders, Cyan, the only color we argue
 * about.
 *
 * 'shape' is:
 *
 *  circle: an ellipse
 *  square: a rectangle
 *  line: a straight line
 *
 * Each shape is followed by four numbers, these are two points in the output
 * coordinate space (as real numbers) which describe the circle, square, or
 * line.  The shape is filled if it is preceded by 'filled' (not valid for
 * 'line') or is drawn with a line, in which case the width of the line must
 * precede the shape.
 *
 * The whole set of information can be repeated as many times as desired:
 *
 *    shape ::= color width shape x1 y1 x2 y2
 *
 *    color ::= black|white|red|green|yellow|blue
 *    color ::= brown|purple|pink|orange|gray|cyan
 *    width ::= filled
 *    width ::= <number>
 *    shape ::= circle|square|line
 *    x1    ::= <number>
 *    x2    ::= <number>
 *    y1    ::= <number>
 *    y2    ::= <number>
 *
 * The output PNG is generated by down-sampling a 4x supersampled image using
 * a bi-cubic filter.  The bi-cubic has a 2 (output) pixel width, so an 8x8
 * array of super-sampled points contribute to each output pixel.  The value of
 * a super-sampled point is found using an unfiltered, aliased, infinite
 * precision image: Each shape from the last to the first is checked to see if
 * the point is in the drawn area and, if it is, the color of the point is the
 * color of the shape and the alpha is 1, if not the previous shape is checked.
 *
 * This is an aliased algorithm because no filtering is done; a point is either
 * inside or outside each shape and 'close' points do not contribute to the
 * sample.  The down-sampling is relied on to correct the error of not using
 * a filter.
 *
 * The line end-caps are 'flat'; they go through the points.  The square line
 * joins are mitres; the outside of the lines are continued to the point of
 * intersection.

/* IMPLEMENTATION NOTE:
 *
 * We want the contribution of each shape to the sample corresponding to each
 * pixel.  This could be obtained by super sampling the image to infinite
 * dimensions, finding each point within the shape and assigning that a value
 * '1' while leaving every point outside the shape with value '0' then
 * downsampling to the image size with sinc; computationally very expensive.
 *
 * Approximations are as follows:
 *
 * 1) If the pixel coordinate is within the shape assume the sample has the
 *    shape color and is opaque, else assume there is no contribution from
 *    the shape.
 *
 *    This is the equivalent of aliased rendering or resampling an image with
 *    a block filter.  The maximum error in the calculated alpha (which will
 *    always be 0 or 1) is 0.5.
 *
 * 2) If the shape is within a square of size 1x1 centered on the pixel assume
 *    that the shape obscures an amount of the pixel equal to its area within
 *    that square.
 *
 *    This is the equivalent of 'pixel coverage' alpha calculation or resampling
 *    an image with a bi-linear filter.  The maximum error is over 0.2, but the
 *    results are often acceptable.
 *
 *    This can be approximated by applying (1) to a super-sampled image then
 *    downsampling with a bi-linear filter.  The error in the super-sampled
 *    image is 0.5 per sample, but the resampling reduces this.
 *
 * 3) Use a better filter with a super-sampled image; in the limit this is the
 *    sinc() approach.
 *
 * 4) Do the geometric calculation; a bivariate definite integral across the
 *    shape, unfortunately this means evaluating Si(x), the integral of sinc(x),
 *    which is still a lot of math.
 *
 * This code uses approach (3) with a bi-cubic filter and 8x super-sampling
 * and method (1) for the super-samples.  This means that the sample is either
 * 0 or 1, depending on whether the sub-pixel is within or outside the shape.
 * The bi-cubic weights are also fixed and the 16 required weights are
 * pre-computed here (note that the 'scale' setting will need to be changed if
 * 'super' is increased).
 *
 * The code also calculates a sum to the edge of the filter. This is not
 * currently used by could be used to optimize the calculation.
