SWF Fixed
SWF fixed-point numbers for Rust.
A fixed point number represents a decimal values using evenly-distributed bit patterns (as opposed to floating point numbers where the density increases with the proximity to zero).
A fixed point number can be simply thought as an integer divided by a constant value.
It is described by its integer part and fractional part:
its mathematical value is integer_part + fractional_part / 2^fractional_bits
.
For example, the type Ufixed8p8
is an unsigned fixed point number with an
8 bit integer part and 8 bit fractional part. It can represent the 2^16 values
corresponding to u16 / 256
, the gap between each value (epsilon) is 1 / 256
.
This crate defines the fixed points numbers used by SWF files:
Name | Integer part | Fractional part | Min value | Max value | Epsilon |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Sfixed8P8 | i8 |
u8 |
-128 | 128 - 1/256 | 1 / 256 |
Ufixed8P8 | u8 |
u8 |
0 | 256 - 1/256 | 1 / 256 |
Sfixed16P16 | i16 |
u16 |
-2^15 | 215 - 1/216 | 1 / 2^16 |
Ufixed16P16 | u16 |
u16 |
0 | 216 - 1/216 | 1 / 2^16 |
Usage
use Sfixed8P8;

Prefer non-master
branches when sending a PR so your changes can be rebased if
needed. All the commits must be made on top of master
(fast-forward merge).
CI must pass for changes to be accepted.
