@title[#:style 'toc]{Making Pictures}
The @scheme[slideshow/pict] layer provides core functions for
constructing pictures, and it is independent of the slide viewer. This
layer can be used, for example, to generate a picture as encapsulated
PostScript for inclusion into a larger document.
@local-table-of-contents[]
@; ------------------------------------------------------------------------
@section{Pict Datatype}
A picture is a @scheme[pict] structure. Some functions, such as
@scheme[hline], create new simple picts. Other functions, such as
@scheme[ht-append], build new picts out of existing picts. In the
latter case, the embedded picts retain their identity, so that
offset-finding functions, such as @scheme[lt-find], can find the
offset of an embedded pict in a larger pict.
In addition to its drawing part, a pict has the following
@deftech{bounding box} structure:
@verbatim[#<<EOS
w
------------------
| | a \
|------------------| |
| | | h
|------------------| |
| | d /
------------------
EOS
]
That is, the bounding box has a width @math{w} and a height
@math{h}. For a single text line, @math{d} is descent below the
baseline, and @math{a+d=h}. For multiple text lines (often created
with a function like @scheme[vc-append]), @math{a} is the ascent of
the top line, and @math{d} is the descent of the bottom line, so
@math{a+d<h}. Many picts have @math{d=0} and @math{a=h}.
The size information for a pict is computed when the pict is
created. This strategy supports programs that create new picts though
arbitrarily complex computations on the size and shape of existing
picts. The functions @scheme[pict-width], @scheme[pict-height],
@scheme[pict-descent], and @scheme[pict-ascent] extract bounding-box
information from a pict.

[children (listof child?)]
[panbox (or/c false/c any/c)])]{
A @scheme[pict] structure is normally not created directly with
@scheme[make-pict]. Instead, functions like @scheme[text],
@scheme[hline], and @scheme[dc] are used to construct a pict.
The @scheme[draw] field contains the pict's drawing procedure, which
takes a @scheme[dc<%>] drawing context and an offset for the pict's
top-left corner (i.e., it's bounding box's top left corner relative to
the @scheme[dc<%>] origin). The state of the @scheme[dc<%>] is
intended to affect the pict's drawing; for example, the pen and brush
will be set for a suitable default drawing mode, and the
@scheme[dc<%>] scale will be set to scale the resulting image.
The @scheme[panbox] field is internal, and it should be ininitialized
to @scheme[#f].}
@defstruct[child ([pict pict?]
[dx real?]
[dy real?]
[sx real?]
[sy real?])]{
Records, for a pict constructed of other picts, the relative location
and scale of one nested pict.
A @scheme[child] structure is normally not created directly with
@scheme[make-child]. Instead, functions like @scheme[hc-append] create
@scheme[child] structures when combining picts to create a new one.}

[w real?]
[h real?]

pict?])]{
Creates an arbitrary self-rendering pict. The arguments to the
rendering procedure will be a device context and top-left location for
drawing.
When the rendering procedure is called, the current pen and brush will
be solid and in the pict's color (and linewidth), and the scale and
offset of the dc will be set. The text mode will be transparent, but
the font and text colors are not guaranteed to be anything in
particular.}
@defproc*[([(blank [size real? 0]) pict?]
[(blank [w real?][h real?]) pict?]
[(blank [w real?][a real?][d real?]) pict?]
[(blank [w real?][h real?][a real?][d real?]) pict?])]{
Creates a pict that draws nothing. The one-argument case supplies a
value sued for both the width and height. In the one- and two-argument
case, the ascent and descent are @math{0} for the resulting pict's
bounding box; in the three-argument case, the height is computed by
adding the given ascent and descent.}
@defproc[(text [content string?]
[style text-style/c null]
[size (integer-in 1 255) 12]
[angle real? 0])
pict?]{
Creates a pict that draws text. For creating text picts within a slide
presentation, see @scheme[t], instead. Otherwise, before calling this
function, a drawing context must be installed with
@scheme[dc-for-text-size].
The @scheme[style] argument must be one of the following:
@itemize{
@item{@scheme[null] --- the default, same as @scheme['default]}
@item{a @scheme[font%] object}
@item{a font family symbol, such a @scheme['roman] (see @scheme[font%])}
@item{a font face string, such as @scheme["Helvetica"] (see @scheme[font%])}
@item{@scheme[(cons _str _sym)] combining a face string and a font
family (in case the face is unavailable; see @scheme[font%])}
@item{@scheme[(cons 'bold style)] for a valid @scheme[style]}
@item{@scheme[(cons 'italic style)]}
@item{@scheme[(cons 'subscript style)]}
@item{@scheme[(cons 'superscript style)]}
@item{@scheme[(cons 'caps style)]}
@item{@scheme[(cons 'combine style)] --- allows kerning and ligatures
(the default, unless the @scheme['modern] family is specified)}
@item{@scheme[(cons 'no-combine style)] --- renders characters individually}
}
If both @scheme['combine] and @scheme['no-combine] are specified, the
first one takes precedence. If caps is specified, the angle must be
zero.
The given @scheme[size] is in pixels, but it is ignored if a
@scheme[font%] object is provided in the text-style.
The @scheme[rotation] is in radians, and positive values rotate
counter-clockwise. For a non-zero @scheme[rotation], the resulting
pict's bounding box covers the rotated text, and the descent is zero
and the ascent is the height.}

Unfilled and filled rectangles with rounded corners. If the
@scheme[corner-radius] is less than @scheme[1], then it is a
percentage of the smaller of @scheme[width] and @scheme[height].}
@defproc[(bitmap [img (or/c path-string? (is-a?/c bitmap%))])
pict]{
A pict that display a bitmap. When a path is provided, the image is
loaded with the @scheme['unknown/mask] flag, which means that a mask
bitmap is generated if the file contains a mask.
If the bitmap cannot be loaded, if the given @scheme[bitmap%] object
is not valid, or if the @scheme[bitmap-draft-mode] parameter is set to
@scheme[#t], the result pict draws the word ``bitmap failed''.}
@defproc*[([(arrow [size real?] [radians real?]) pict?]

Creates a line (with some number of arrowheads) as a zero-sized pict
suitable for use with @scheme[pin-over]. The 0-sized picture contains
the starting point.
The @scheme[size] is used for the arrowhead size. Even though
@scheme[pip-line] creates no arrowheads, it accepts the @scheme[size]

Adds a line or line-with-arrows onto @scheme[pict], using one of the
pict-finding functions (e.g., @scheme[lt-find]) to extract the source
and destination of the line.
If @scheme[under?] is true, then the line and arrows are added under
the existing @scheme[pict] drawing, instead of on top. If
@scheme[solid?] is false, then the arrowheads are hollow instead of
filled.}

A contract that matches the second argument of @scheme[text].}

Different procedures align pictures in the orthogonal direction in
different ways. For example, @scheme[vl-append] left-aligns all of the

The descent of the result corresponds to baseline that is lowest in

table).
The @scheme[col-aligns], @scheme[row-aligns], @scheme[col-seps], and
@scheme[row-seps] arguments are ``lists'' specifying the row and
columns alignments separation between rows and columns. For @math{c}
columns and @math{r} rows, the first two should have @math{c} and
@math{r} superimpose procedures, and the last two should have
@math{c-1} and @math{r-1} numbers, respectively. The lists can be
