There are few end-user classes: @code{mglGraph} (see @ref{MathGL core}), @code{mglWindow} and @code{mglGLUT} (see @ref{Widget classes}), @code{mglData} (see @ref{Data processing}), @code{mglParse} (see @ref{MGL scripts}). Exactly these classes I recommend to use in most of user programs. All methods in all of these classes are inline and have exact C/Fortran analogue functions. This give compiler independent binary libraries for MathGL.

However, sometimes you may need to extend MathGL by writing yours own plotting functions or handling yours own data structures. In these cases you may need to use low-level API. This chapter describes it.

@fig{classes, Class diagram for MathGL}

The internal structure of MathGL is rather complicated. There are C++ classes @code{mglBase}, @code{mglCanvas}, ... for drawing primitives and positioning the plot (blue ones in the figure). There is a layer of C functions, which include interface for most important methods of these classes. Also most of plotting functions are implemented as C functions. After it, there are ``inline'' front-end classes which are created for user convenience (yellow ones in the figure). Also there are widgets for FLTK and Qt libraries (green ones in the figure).

Below I show how this internal classes can be used.

@section Define new kind of plot (mglBase class)
@nav{}

Basically most of new kinds of plot can be created using just MathGL primitives (see @ref{Primitives}). However the usage of @code{mglBase} methods can give you higher speed of drawing and better control of plot settings. 

All plotting functions should use a pointer to @code{mglBase} class (or @code{HMGL} type in C functions) due to compatibility issues. Exactly such type of pointers are used in front-end classes (@code{mglGraph, mglWindow}) and in widgets (@code{QMathGL, Fl_MathGL}).

MathGL tries to remember all vertexes and all primitives and plot creation stage, and to use them for making final picture by demand. Basically for making plot, you need to add vertexes by @code{AddPnt()} function, which return index for new vertex, and call one of primitive drawing function (like @code{mark_plot(), arrow_plot(), line_plot(), trig_plot(), quad_plot(), text_plot()}), using vertex indexes as argument(s). @code{AddPnt()} function use 2 mreal numbers for color specification. First one is positioning in textures -- integer part is texture index, fractional part is relative coordinate in the texture. Second number is like a transparency of plot (or second coordinate in the 2D texture).

I don't want to put here detailed description of @code{mglBase} class. It was rather well documented in @code{mgl2/base.h} file. I just show and example of its usage on the base of circle drawing.

First, we should prototype new function @code{circle()} as C function.
@verbatim
#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif
void circle(HMGL gr, mreal x, mreal y, mreal z, mreal r, const char *stl, const char *opt);
#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif
@end verbatim
This is done for generating compiler independent binary. Because only C-functions have standard naming mechanism, the same for any compilers.

Now, we create a C++ file and put the code of function. I'll write it line by line and try to comment all important points.
@verbatim
void circle(HMGL gr, mreal x, mreal y, mreal z, mreal r, const char *stl, const char *opt)
{
@end verbatim
First, we need to check all input arguments and send warnings if something is wrong. In our case it is negative value of @var{r} argument. We just send warning, since it is not critical situation -- other plot still can be drawn.
@verbatim
  if(r<=0)  { gr->SetWarn(mglWarnNeg,"Circle"); return; }
@end verbatim
Next step is creating a group. Group keep some general setting for plot (like options) and useful for export in 3d files.
@verbatim
  static int cgid=1;  gr->StartGroup("Circle",cgid++);
@end verbatim
Now let apply options. Options are rather useful things, generally, which allow one easily redefine axis range(s), transparency and other settings (see @ref{Command options}).
@verbatim
  gr->SaveState(opt);
@end verbatim
I use global setting for determining the number of points in circle approximation. Note, that user can change @code{MeshNum} by options easily.
@verbatim
  const int n = gr->MeshNum>1?gr->MeshNum : 41;
@end verbatim
Let try to determine plot specific flags. MathGL functions expect that most of flags will be sent in string. In our case it is symbol @samp{@@} which set to draw filled circle instead of border only (last will be default). Note, you have to handle @code{NULL} as string pointer.
@verbatim
  bool fill = mglchr(stl,'@');
@end verbatim
Now, time for coloring. I use palette mechanism because circle have few colors: one for filling and another for border. @code{SetPenPal()} function parse input string and write resulting texture index in @var{pal}. Function return the character for marker, which can be specified in string @var{str}. Marker will be plotted at the center of circle. I'll show on next sample how you can use color schemes (smooth colors) too.
@verbatim
  long pal=0;
  char mk=gr->SetPenPal(stl,&pal);
@end verbatim
Next step, is determining colors for filling and for border. First one for filling.
@verbatim
  mreal c=gr->NextColor(pal), d;
@end verbatim
Second one for border. I use black color (call @code{gr->AddTexture('k')}) if second color is not specified.
@verbatim
  mreal k=(gr->GetNumPal(pal)>1)?gr->NextColor(pal):gr->AddTexture('k');
@end verbatim
If user want draw only border (@code{fill=false}) then I use first color for border.
@verbatim
  if(!fill) k=c;
@end verbatim
Now we should reserve space for vertexes. This functions need @code{n} for border, @code{n+1} for filling and @code{1} for marker. So, maximal number of vertexes is @code{2*n+2}. Note, that such reservation is not required for normal work but can sufficiently speed up the plotting.
@verbatim
  gr->Reserve(2*n+2);
@end verbatim
We've done with setup and ready to start drawing. First, we need to add vertex(es). Let define NAN as normals, since I don't want handle lighting for this plot,
@verbatim
  mglPoint q(NAN,NAN);
@end verbatim
and start adding vertexes. First one for central point of filling. I use @code{-1} if I don't need this point. The arguments of @code{AddPnt()} function is: @code{mglPoint(x,y,z)} -- coordinate of vertex, @code{c} -- vertex color, @code{q} -- normal at vertex, @code{-1} -- vertex transparency (@code{-1} for default), @code{3} bitwise flag which show that coordinates will be scaled (@code{0x1}) and will not be cutted (@code{0x2}).
@verbatim
  long n0,n1,n2,m1,m2,i;
  n0 = fill ? gr->AddPnt(mglPoint(x,y,z),c,q,-1,3):-1;
@end verbatim
Similar for marker, but we use different color @var{k}.
@verbatim
  n2 = mk ? gr->AddPnt(mglPoint(x,y,z),k,q,-1,3):-1;
@end verbatim
Draw marker.
@verbatim
  if(mk)  gr->mark_plot(n2,mk);
@end verbatim
Time for drawing circle itself. I use @code{-1} for @var{m1}, @var{n1} as sign that primitives shouldn't be drawn for first point @code{i=0}.
@verbatim
  for(i=0,m1=n1=-1;i<n;i++)
  {
@end verbatim
Each function should check @code{Stop} variable and return if it is non-zero. It is done for interrupting drawing for system which don't support multi-threading.
@verbatim
    if(gr->Stop)  return;
@end verbatim
Let find coordinates of vertex.
@verbatim
    mreal t = i*2*M_PI/(n-1.);
    mglPoint p(x+r*cos(t), y+r*sin(t), z);
@end verbatim
Save previous vertex and add next one
@verbatim
    n2 = n1;  n1 = gr->AddPnt(p,c,q,-1,3);
@end verbatim
and copy it for border but with different color. Such copying is much faster than adding new vertex using @code{AddPnt()}.
@verbatim
    m2 = m1;  m1 = gr->CopyNtoC(n1,k);
@end verbatim
Now draw triangle for filling internal part
@verbatim
    if(fill)  gr->trig_plot(n0,n1,n2);
@end verbatim
and draw line for border.
@verbatim
    gr->line_plot(m1,m2);
  }
@end verbatim
Drawing is done. Let close group and return.
@verbatim
  gr->EndGroup();
}
@end verbatim

Another sample I want to show is exactly the same function but with smooth coloring using color scheme. So, I'll add comments only in the place of difference.

@verbatim
void circle_cs(HMGL gr, mreal x, mreal y, mreal z, mreal r, const char *stl, const char *opt)
{
@end verbatim
In this case let allow negative radius too. Formally it is not the problem for plotting (formulas the same) and this allow us to handle all color range.
@verbatim
//if(r<=0)  { gr->SetWarn(mglWarnNeg,"Circle"); return; }

  static int cgid=1;  gr->StartGroup("CircleCS",cgid++);
  gr->SaveState(opt);
  const int n = gr->MeshNum>1?gr->MeshNum : 41;
  bool fill = mglchr(stl,'@');
@end verbatim
Here is main difference. We need to create texture for color scheme specified by user
@verbatim
  long ss = gr->AddTexture(stl);
@end verbatim
But we need also get marker and color for it (if filling is enabled). Let suppose that marker and color is specified after @samp{:}. This is standard delimiter which stop color scheme entering. So, just lets find it and use for setting pen.
@verbatim
  const char *pen=0;
  if(stl) pen = strchr(stl,':');
  if(pen) pen++;
@end verbatim
The substring is placed in @var{pen} and it will be used as line style.
@verbatim
  long pal=0;
  char mk=gr->SetPenPal(pen,&pal);
@end verbatim
Next step, is determining colors for filling and for border. First one for filling.
@verbatim
  mreal c=gr->GetC(ss,r);
@end verbatim
Second one for border.
@verbatim
  mreal k=gr->NextColor(pal);
@end verbatim
The rest part is the same as in previous function.
@verbatim
  if(!fill) k=c;

  gr->Reserve(2*n+2);
  mglPoint q(NAN,NAN);
  long n0,n1,n2,m1,m2,i;
  n0 = fill ? gr->AddPnt(mglPoint(x,y,z),c,q,-1,3):-1;
  n2 = mk ? gr->AddPnt(mglPoint(x,y,z),k,q,-1,3):-1;
  if(mk)  gr->mark_plot(n2,mk);
  for(i=0,m1=n1=-1;i<n;i++)
  {
    if(gr->Stop)  return;
    mreal t = i*2*M_PI/(n-1.);
    mglPoint p(x+r*cos(t), y+r*sin(t), z);
    n2 = n1;  n1 = gr->AddPnt(p,c,q,-1,3);
    m2 = m1;  m1 = gr->CopyNtoC(n1,k);
    if(fill)  gr->trig_plot(n0,n1,n2);
    gr->line_plot(m1,m2);
  }
  gr->EndGroup();
}
@end verbatim

The last thing which we can do is derive our own class with new plotting functions. Good idea is to derive it from @code{mglGraph} (if you don't need extended window), or from @code{mglWindow} (if you need to extend window). So, in our case it will be
@verbatim
class MyGraph : public mglGraph
{
public:
  inline void Circle(mglPoint p, mreal r, const char *stl="", const char *opt="")
  { circle(p.x,p.y,p.z, r, stl, opt); }
  inline void CircleCS(mglPoint p, mreal r, const char *stl="", const char *opt="")
  { circle_cs(p.x,p.y,p.z, r, stl, opt); }
};
@end verbatim
Note, that I use @code{inline} modifier for using the same binary code with different compilers. 

So, the complete sample will be
@verbatim
#include <mgl2/mgl.h>

#ifdef __cplusplus

void circle(HMGL gr, mreal x, mreal y, mreal z, mreal r, const char *stl, const char *opt);

@section User defined types (mglDataA class)
@nav{}

@code{mglData} class have abstract predecessor class @code{mglDataA}. Exactly the pointers to @code{mglDataA} instances are used in all plotting functions and some of data processing functions. This was done for taking possibility to define yours own class, which will handle yours own data (for example, complex numbers, or differently organized data). And this new class will be almost the same as @code{mglData} for plotting purposes.

However, the most of data processing functions will be slower as if you used @code{mglData} instance. This is more or less understandable -- I don't know how data in yours particular class will be organized, and couldn't optimize the these functions generally.

There are few virtual functions which must be provided in derived classes. This functions give:
@itemize @bullet
@item
the sizes of the data (@code{GetNx}, @code{GetNy}, @code{GetNz}),
@item
give data value and numerical derivatives for selected cell (@code{v}, @code{dvx}, @code{dvy}, @code{dvz}),
@item
give maximal and minimal values (@code{Maximal}, @code{Minimal}) -- you can use provided functions (like @code{mgl_data_max} and @code{mgl_data_min}), but yours own realization can be more efficient,
@item
give access to all element as in single array (@code{vthr}) -- you need this only if you want using MathGL's data processing functions.
@end itemize

Let me, for example define class @code{mglComplex} which will handle complex number and draw its amplitude or phase, depending on flag @var{use_abs}:
@verbatim
#include <complex>

#define dual std::complex<double>
