begin method
Starts a new page/batch: sets the device viewport (pixels) and clears the strip buffer. Scratch buffers are kept and only grow.
Implementation
void begin(int width, int height) {
_width = width;
_height = height;
_rowCount = (height + 3) >> 2;
_stride = width + 2;
if (_accum.length < 4 * _stride) {
_accum = Float32List(4 * _stride);
} else {
_accum.fillRange(0, 4 * _stride, 0); // defensive: restore invariant
}
if (_rowHead.length < _rowCount) {
_rowHead = Int32List(_rowCount);
_rowMinX = Int32List(_rowCount);
_rowMaxX = Int32List(_rowCount);
}
_rowHead.fillRange(0, _rowCount, -1);
_dirtyCount = 0;
_nodeCount = 0;
strips.reset();
}
