Bitmap functions, 256-color
Note: Bitmaps can be clipped, unclipped, flipped, normal, transparent
or non-transparent. Different versions of the functions are supplied for speed
reasons. This could all be done in one function with flags passed to it,
but it would be a tiny bit slower. Some of these functions have
been in Fastgraph since 1988. Back in those days, we had to squeeze
every possible cycle out of an 8088. It was optimize or die. The
functions have been updated to use the Pentium dual pipeline. They are
lightning fast.

Bitmap functions, direct color (high/true color)
Direct color bitmaps (DCBs) can be 16 or 24 bits. If they are 16 bits, the RGB
pixel format can be 5/5/5 or 5/6/5. If a driver requires a different high
color format than your bitmap was created in, use fg_gethcbpp() and fg_transdcb()
to detect and translate.

Virtual buffer functions
A virtual buffer is just a surface you can write graphics to. Usually it is in
system RAM, but if you are using DirectDraw in page flipping mode, you can have
a virtual buffer on a hardware page in video memory.

void fg_vbtccopy (int minx, int maxx, int miny, int maxy, int newx, int newy, int source, int dest);

void fg_vbundef (int handle);

World space functions (2D)
The graphics primitives are just like the 2D drawing functions,
except they take floating-point arguments. You define a "world
space" to have any extents, and these functions will draw in
a virtual buffer in proportion to the world space limits.

Low-level 3D functions
Some of these functions are used internally by Fastgraph. Other
functions, like the texture map functions, are not commonly
used. We recommend you use the fg_tmdefine()/fg_tmselect() strategy
for texture maps because it is compatible with Direct3D. The only
one of these functions that you will probably find useful is
fg_trig().
void fg_3Dproject (double *, int *, int);
void fg_3Dtransform (double *, double *, int);
void fg_3Dtransformobject (double *, double *, int);
int fg_3Dzclip (double *, double *, int);
int fg_3Dzcliprgb (double *, double *, char *, char *, int);
int fg_3Dzcliptm (double *, double *, int *, int *, int);

void fg_texmappz (int *, int *, double *, int);
void fg_texmapz (int *, int *, double *, int);
void fg_trig (int angle, double *cosine, double *sine);
Angle is degrees times 10. (3600 is a full circle).
void fg_3Dupvector (double x, double y, double z);
