<p>This section contains various functions used to perform computations on 16.16 fixed-point numbers or 2D vectors. FreeType does not use floating-point data types.</p>
<p><strong>Attention</strong>: Most arithmetic functions take <code>FT_Long</code> as arguments. For historical reasons, FreeType was designed under the assumption that <code>FT_Long</code> is a 32-bit integer; results can thus be undefined if the arguments don't fit into 32 bits.</p>

<h4>return</h4>

<p>The result of <code>(a*b)/0x10000</code>.</p>
<h4>note</h4>

<p>This function has been optimized for the case where the absolute value of <code>a</code> is less than 2048, and <code>b</code> 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 <em>second</em> argument of this function; this can make a great difference.</p>
