%
% \section{\pkg{l3draw} documentation}
%
% The \pkg{l3draw} package provides a set of tools for creating (vector)
% drawings in \pkg{expl3}. It is heavily inspired by the \pkg{pgf} layer of
% the Ti\textit{k}Z system, with many of the interfaces having the same form.
% However, the code provided here is build entirely on core \pkg{expl3} ideas
% and uses the \LaTeX3 FPU for numerical support.
%
% Numerical expressions in \pkg{l3draw} are handled as floating point
% expressions, unless otherwise noted. This means that they may contain or
% omit explicit units. Where units are omitted, they will automatically be
% taken as given in (\TeX{}) points.
%
% The code here is \emph{highly} experimental.
%
% \subsection{Drawings}
%
% \begin{function}{\draw_begin:, \draw_end:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_begin:}
%     ...
%     \cs{draw_end:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Each drawing should be created within a \cs{draw_begin:}/\cs{draw_end:}
%   function pair. The \texttt{begin} function sets up a number of key
%   data structures for the rest of the functions here: unless otherwise
%   specified, use of |\draw_...| functions outside of this
%   \enquote{environment} is \emph{not supported}.
%
%   The drawing created within the environment will be inserted into
%   the typesetting stream by the \cs{draw_end:} function, which will
%   switch out of vertical mode if required.
%   \begin{demo}
%     \dim_new:N \l_mypos_dim
%     \draw_begin:
%       \draw_path_moveto:n { 0cm , \l_mypos_dim }
%       \draw_path_lineto:n { 1cm , \l_mypos_dim }
%       \dim_set:Nn \l_mypos_dim { 1cm }
%       \draw_path_lineto:n { 1cm , \l_mypos_dim }
%       \draw_path_close:
%       \draw_path_use_clear:n { stroke }
%     \draw_end:
%   \end{demo}
%
%   Within a drawing, the only commands that should appear are those directly
%   aimed at drawing (from \pkg{l3draw}) and those which produce \emph{no}
%   typeset output. For example, it is possible to include loops inside a
%   drawing using |\int_step_function:nnnn| or similar. On the other hand,
%   text should not be included directly in drawings, but should rather be
%   inserted using the appropriate \pkg{l3draw} command.
%
%   The drawing environment sets the following standard behaviors
%   \begin{itemize}
%      \item Non-zero rule for fill overlaps
%      \item Butt caps for lines
%      \item Mitering for line joins with a miter factor of $10$
%      \item Solid line strokes
%   \end{itemize}
% \end{function}
%
% Within a drawing, there are different ways of referring to a position.
% The co-ordinates of a point are given relative to the current
% \emph{drawing axes}. These can be manipulated and tracked at the code
% level. Underlying this is the \meta{canvas}, which is at the \pkg{draw}
% level essentially fixed and in line with the paper. Initially, the two
% sets of axes are coincident. (It is possible to manipulate the canvas
% axes at the driver level: this is then \enquote{transparent} to the
% \pkg{draw} level, and so should be used only when strictly required.)
%
% \begin{function}{\draw_suspend_begin:, \draw_suspend_end:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_suspend_begin:}
%     ...
%     \cs{draw_suspend_end:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Suspends all of the drawing mechanisms to allow \enquote{normal}
%   material to be created. Typically, this environment will be applied
%   inside a box which may contain nested pictures.
%   \begin{demo}
%     \draw_begin:
%       \draw_path_moveto:n { 0cm , 0cm }
%       \hbox_set:Nn \l_tmpa_box
%         {
%           \draw_suspend_begin:
%             This~is~normal~text.
%             \draw_begin: % A subpicture
%               \draw_path_moveto:n { 1cm , 0cm }
%               \draw_path_lineto:n { 1cm , 1cm }
%               \draw_path_use_clear:n { stroke }
%             \draw_end:
%             More~text.
%           \draw_suspend_end:
%         }
%       \draw_box_use:N \l_tmpa_box
%       \draw_path_lineto:n { 0cm , 1cm }
%       \draw_path_use_clear:n { stroke }
%     \draw_end:
%   \end{demo}
% \end{function}
%
% \subsection{Graphics state}
%
% Within the drawing environment, a number of functions control how drawings
% will appear. Note that these all apply \emph{globally}, though some are
% rest at the start of each drawing (\cs{draw_begin:}).
%
% \begin{variable}{\g_draw_linewidth_default_dim}
%   The default value of the linewidth for stokes, set at the start
%   of every drawing (\cs{draw_begin:}).
% \end{variable}
%
% \begin{function}{\draw_linewidth:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_linewidth:n} \Arg{width}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets the width to be used for stroking to the \meta{width} (an
%   \meta{fp expr}).
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\draw_dash_pattern:nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_dash_pattern:nn} \Arg{pattern} \Arg{phase}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Specifies a dash pattern. The \meta{pattern} itself is a comma-separated
%   list of entries which represent the \enquote{on} and \enquote{off}
%   parts of the line. These are all \meta{fp expr} and repeat as required.
%   Thus the \meta{pattern} may be of arbitrary length. The \meta{phase}
%   specifies where during the first \enquote{on} line the pattern should
%   start.
%   \begin{demo}
%     \draw_begin:
%       \draw_dash_pattern:nn
%         { 0.5cm , 0.5cm , 0.1cm , 0.2cm }
%         { 0cm }
%       \draw_path_moveto:n { 0cm , 0cm }
%       \draw_path_lineto:n { 2cm , 0cm }
%       \draw_path_use_clear:n { stroke }
%       \draw_dash_pattern:nn
%         { 0.5cm , 0.5cm , 0.1cm , 0.2cm }
%         { 0.1cm }
%       \draw_path_moveto:n { 0cm , 1mm }
%       \draw_path_lineto:n { 2cm , 1mm }
%       \draw_path_use_clear:n { stroke }
%       \draw_dash_pattern:nn
%         { 0.5cm , 0.5cm , 0.1cm , 0.2cm }
%         { 0.2cm }
%       \draw_path_moveto:n { 0cm , 2mm }
%       \draw_path_lineto:n { 2cm , 2mm }
%       \draw_path_use_clear:n { stroke }
%     \draw_end:
%   \end{demo}
%   Setting an empty pattern will produce a solid line.
%
%   Note the \meta{pattern} interface here is different from that in \pkg{pgf}:
%   the list is comma-separated not given in brace groups.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\draw_nonzero_rule:, \draw_evenodd_rule:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_nonzero_rule:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Active either the non-zero winding number or the even-odd rule,
%   respectively, for determining what is inside a fill or clip area.
%   For technical reasons, these command are not influenced by scoping
%   and apply on an ongoing basis.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}
%   {
%     \draw_cap_butt:      ,
%     \draw_cap_rectangle: ,
%     \draw_cap_round:
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_cap_butt:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets the style of terminal stroke position to one of butt, rectangle or
%   round.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}
%   {
%     \draw_join_bevel: ,
%     \draw_join_miter: ,
%     \draw_join_round:
%   }
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_cap_butt:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets the style of stroke joins to one of bevel, miter or round.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\draw_miterlimit:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_miterlimit:n} \Arg{factor}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets the miter \meta{factor} of lines joined as a miter, as described in the
%   PDF and PostScript manuals. The \meta{factor} is an \meta{fp expr}.
% \end{function}
%
% \subsection{Scoping drawing elements}
%
% Scoping drawing elements is necessary to allowing nesting of subparts.
% These features have specific use requirements: the preconditions must be
% met. In particular, each type of drawing scope also constitutes a
% group (\cs{group_begin:}/\cs{group_end:} pair): as such, they must be
% nested correctly.
%
% \begin{function}{\draw_scope_begin:, \draw_scope_end:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_scope_begin:}
%     ...
%     \cs{draw_scope_end:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates a scope for localisation of state settings within a drawing.
%   A scope forms a \TeX{} group but will also localise global state
%   variables (such as \cs{g_draw_linewidth_default_dim}), and driver-level
%   concepts such as the termination of lines.
%   \begin{demo}
%     \draw_begin:
%       \draw_scope_begin:
%         \group_begin:
%           \draw_linewidth:n { 2pt }
%           \draw_path_rectangle:nn { 0 , 0 } { 2ex , 2ex }
%           \draw_path_use:n  { stroke }
%         \group_end:
%         \draw_path_rectangle:nn { 3ex , 0ex } { 2ex , 2ex }
%         \draw_path_use:n  { stroke }
%       \draw_scope_end:
%       \draw_path_rectangle:nn { 6ex , 0ex } { 2ex , 2ex }
%       \draw_path_use_clear:n  { stroke }
%     \draw_end:
%   \end{demo}
%   Global graphical concepts restricted by scope are
%   \begin{itemize}
%     \item Line width
%     \item Stroke and fill color
%     \item Dash pattern
%     \item Line joining and capping, including the miter limit
%     \item Clipping paths
%     \item Canvas (driver) transformations
%   \end{itemize}
% \end{function}
%
% \subsection{Points}
%
% Functions supporting the calculation of points (co-ordinates) are expandable
% and may be used outside of the drawing environment. When used in this
% way, they all yield a co-ordinate tuple, for example
% \begin{verbatim}
%   \tl_set:Nx \l_tmpa_tl { \draw_point:nn { 1 } { 2 } }
%   \tl_show:N \l_tmpa_tl
% \end{verbatim}
% gives
% \begin{verbatim}
%   > \l_tmpa_tl=1pt,2pt.
%   <recently read> }
% \end{verbatim}
%
% This output form is then suitable as \emph{input} for subsequent point
% calculations, \emph{i.e.}~where a \meta{point} is required it may be
% given as a tuple. This \emph{may} include units and surrounding
% parentheses, for example
% \begin{verbatim}
%   1,2
%   (1,2)
%   1cm,3pt
%   (1pt,2cm)
%   2 * sind(30), 2^4in
% \end{verbatim}
% are all valid input forms. Notice that each part of the tuple may itself
% be a float point expression.
%
% Point co-ordinates are relative to the canvas axes, but can be transformed
% by \cs{draw_point_transform:n}. These manipulation is applied by many
% higher-level functions, for example path construction, and allows parts of
% a drawing to be rotated, scaled or skewed. This occurs before writing any
% data to the driver, and so such manipulations are tracked by the drawing
% mechanisms. See \cs{@@_backend_cm:nnnn} for backend-level
% manipulation of the canvas axes themselves.
%
% Notice that in contrast to \pkg{pgf} it is possible to give the positions
% of points \emph{directly}.
%
% \subsubsection{Basic point functions}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\draw_point_polar:nn, \draw_point_polar:nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_point_polar:nn} \Arg{radius} \Arg{angle}
%     \cs{draw_point_polar:nnn} \Arg{radius-a} \Arg{radius-b} \Arg{angle}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Gives the co-ordinates of the point at \meta{angle} (an \meta{fp expr} in
%   \emph{degrees}) and \meta{radius}. The three-argument version accepts
%   two radii of different lengths.
%
%   Note the interface here is somewhat different from that in \pkg{pgf}:
%   the one- and two-radii versions in \pkg{l3draw} use separate functions,
%   whilst in \pkg{pgf} they use the same function and a keyword.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\draw_point_unit_vector:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_point_unit_vector:n} \Arg{point}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands to the co-ordinates of a unit vector in the direction of the
%   \meta{point} from the origin. If the \meta{point} is at the origin,
%   a vertical unit vector is returned
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\draw_point_transform:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_point_transform:n} \Arg{point}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Evaluates the position of the \meta{point} subject to the current
%   transformation matrix. This operation is applied automatically by
%   most higher-level functions (\emph{e.g.}~path manipulations).
% \end{function}
%
% \subsubsection{Points on a vector basis}
%
% As well as giving explicit values, it is possible to describe points
% in terms of underlying direction vectors. The latter are initially
% co-incident with the standard Cartesian axes, but may be altered by
% the user.
%
% \begin{function}{\draw_xvec:n, \draw_yvec:n, \draw_zvec:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_xvec:n} \Arg{point}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Defines the appropriate base vector to point toward the \meta{point}
%   on the canvas. The standard settings for the $x$- and $y$-vectors are
%   $1\,\mathrm{cm}$ along the relevant canvas axis, whilst for the
%   $z$-vector an appropriate direction is taken.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\draw_point_vec:nn, \draw_point_vec:nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_point_vec:nn} \Arg{xscale} \Arg{yscale}
%     \cs{draw_point_vec:nnn} \Arg{xscale} \Arg{yscale} \Arg{zscale}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands to the co-ordinate of the point at \meta{xscale} times the
%   $x$-vector and \meta{yscale} times the $y$-vector. The three-argument
%   version extends this to include the $z$-vector.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\draw_point_vec_polar:nn, \draw_point_vec_polar:nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_point_vec_polar:nn} \Arg{radius} \Arg{angle}
%     \cs{draw_point_vec_polar:nnn} \Arg{radius-a} \Arg{radius-b} \Arg{angle}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Gives the co-ordinates of the point at \meta{angle} (an \meta{fp expr} in
%   \emph{degrees}) and \meta{radius}, relative to the prevailing
%   $x$- and $y$-vectors. The three-argument version accepts two radii of
%   different lengths.
%
%   Note the interface here is somewhat different from that in \pkg{pgf}:
%   the one- and two-radii versions in \pkg{l3draw} use separate functions,
%   whilst in \pkg{pgf} they use the same function and a keyword.
% \end{function}
%
% \subsubsection{Intersections}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\draw_point_intersect_lines:nnnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_point_intersect_lines:nnnn} \Arg{point1} \Arg{point2} \Arg{point3} \Arg{point4}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Evaluates the point at the intersection of one line, joining
%   \meta{point1} and \meta{point2}, and a second line joining \meta{point3}
%   and \meta{point4}. If the lines do not intersect, or are coincident, and
%   error will occur.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\draw_point_intersect_circles:nnnnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_point_intersect_circles:nnnnn}
%       \Arg{center1} \Arg{radius1} \Arg{center2} \Arg{radius2} \Arg{root}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Evaluates the point at the intersection of one circle with
%   \meta{center1} and \meta{radius1}, and a second circle with \meta{center2}
%   and \meta{radius2}. If the circles do not intersect, or are coincident, and
%   error will occur.
%
%   Note the interface here has a different argument ordering from that in
%   \pkg{pgf}, which has the two centers then the two radii.
% \end{function}
%
% \subsubsection{Interpolations}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\draw_point_interpolate_line:nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_point_interpolate_line:nnn} \Arg{part} \Arg{point1} \Arg{point2}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands to the point which is \meta{part} way along the line joining
%   \meta{point1} and \meta{point2}. The \meta{part} may be an interpolation or
%   an extrapolation, and is a floating point value expressing a percentage
%   along the line, \emph{e.g.}~a value of \texttt{0.5} would be half-way
%   between the two points.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\draw_point_interpolate_distance:nnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_point_interpolate_distance:nnn} \Arg{distance} \Arg{point expr1} \Arg{point expr2}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands to the point which is \meta{distance} way along the line joining
%   \meta{point1} and \meta{point2}. The \meta{distance} may be an interpolation
%   or an extrapolation.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}[EXP]{\draw_point_interpolate_curve:nnnnnn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_point_interpolate_curve:nnnnnn} \Arg{part}
%       \Arg{start} \Arg{control1} \Arg{control2} \Arg{end}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Expands to the point which is \meta{part} way along the curve between
%   \meta{start} and \meta{end} and defined by \meta{control1} and
%   \meta{control2}. The \meta{part} may be an interpolation or
%   an extrapolation, and is a floating point value expressing a percentage
%   along the curve, \emph{e.g.}~a value of \texttt{0.5} would be half-way
%   along the curve.
% \end{function}
%
% \subsection{Paths}
%
% Paths are constructed by combining one or more operations before applying
% one or more actions. Thus until a path is \enquote{used}, it may be
% manipulated or indeed discarded entirely. Only one path is active at
% any one time, and the path is \emph{not} affected by \TeX{} grouping.
%
% \begin{function}{\draw_path_corner_arc:nn}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_path_corner_arc:n} \Arg{length1} \Arg{length2}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Sets the degree of rounding applied to corners in a path: the two
%   \meta{length} values are the distances from the corner at which the curving
%   should start. The first \meta{length} applies to the part of the path
%   \enquote{leading in} to the corner (\emph{i.e.}~from the previous path
%   operation), and the second to that \enquote{leading out}. If both
%   values are \texttt{0pt} then corners will not be rounded. The values
%   apply within the scope of the current \TeX{} group.
%   \begin{demo}
%     \draw_begin:
%       \draw_path_corner_arc:nn { 5mm } { 5mm }

% \subsection{Layers}
%
% Drawing layers may be used to alter the way in which elements are stacked
% on top of one another. In particular, they are useful when the nature of
% an element depends on another, but where it needs to be behind it's
% \enquote{parent}. A classic example is a filled background: this needs to
% know the size of the material it is behind.
%
% All drawings feature a layer called |main|. This layer should always be
% present, and is the one which \enquote{non-layered} content is added to.
%
% \begin{function}{\draw_layer_new:n}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_layer_new:n} \Arg{layer}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Creates a new \meta{layer} which can then be used in drawing. The layer
%   |main| is pre-defined.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{function}{\draw_layer_begin:n, \draw_layer_end:}
%   \begin{syntax}
%     \cs{draw_layer_begin:n} \Arg{layer}
%     ...
%     \cs{draw_layer_end:}
%   \end{syntax}
%   Begin and end collection of material for the \meta{layer}, which should
%   previously have been created (and which cannot be |main|). Material
%   collected for the layer is available globally within the current drawing.
% \end{function}
%
% \begin{variable}{\l_draw_layers_clist}
%   The list of active layers: may be given anywhere before \cs{draw_end:}.
%   The |main| layer should always be included.
