NAME

       gl_compileboxmask - compress a masked bitmap

SYNOPSIS

       #include <vgagl.h>

       void gl_compileboxmask(int w, int h, void *sdp, void *ddp);

DESCRIPTION

       Convert  the  rectangular  masked bitmap of size (w, h) at sdp to a compressed format that
       allows faster drawing, which is stored at ddp.  Allocating w * h bytes  for  the  compiled
       version is usually enough; an upper limit should be (w + 2) * h.

       Compiled bitmaps are only supported in linear 256 color modes.
