</pre>

<p>Compute &lsquo;(a*b)/c&rsquo; with maximum accuracy, using a 64-bit intermediate integer whenever necessary.</p>
<p>This function isn't necessarily as fast as some processor specific operations, but is at least completely portable.</p>

<h4>input</h4>
<table class="fields">
<tr><td class="val" id="a">a</td><td class="desc">
<p>The first multiplier.</p>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class="val" id="b">b</td><td class="desc">
<p>The second multiplier.</p>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class="val" id="c">c</td><td class="desc">
<p>The divisor.</p>
</td></tr>
</table>

<h4>return</h4>
<p>The result of &lsquo;(a*b)/c&rsquo;. This function never traps when trying to divide by zero; it simply returns &lsquo;MaxInt&rsquo; or &lsquo;MinInt&rsquo; depending on the signs of &lsquo;a&rsquo; and &lsquo;b&rsquo;.</p>

</pre>

<p>Compute &lsquo;(a*b)/0x10000&rsquo; with maximum accuracy. Its main use is to multiply a given value by a 16.16 fixed-point factor.</p>

<h4>input</h4>

<p>The first multiplier.</p>

</td></tr>
</table>

<h4>return</h4>
<p>The result of &lsquo;(a*b)/0x10000&rsquo;.</p>

<h4>note</h4>
<p>This function has been optimized for the case where the absolute value of &lsquo;a&rsquo; is less than 2048, and &lsquo;b&rsquo; is a 16.16 scaling factor. As this happens mainly when scaling from notional units to fractional pixels in FreeType, it resulted in noticeable speed improvements between versions 2.x and 1.x.</p>
<p>As a conclusion, always try to place a 16.16 factor as the <i>second</i> argument of this function; this can make a great difference.</p>

<p>Return the unit vector corresponding to a given angle. After the call, the value of &lsquo;vec.x&rsquo; will be &lsquo;cos(angle)&rsquo;, and the value of &lsquo;vec.y&rsquo; will be &lsquo;sin(angle)&rsquo;.</p>
<p>This function is useful to retrieve both the sinus and cosinus of a given angle quickly.</p>
