## Detailed Description

This file deals with displaying wires and pylons for electric railways.

## Basics

### Tile Types

We have two different types of tiles in the drawing code: Normal Railway Tiles (NRTs) which can have more than one track on it, and Special Railways tiles (SRTs) which have only one track (like crossings, depots stations, etc).

### Location Categories

All tiles are categorized into three location groups (TLG): Group 0: Tiles with both an even X coordinate and an even Y coordinate Group 1: Tiles with an even X and an odd Y coordinate Group 2: Tiles with an odd X and an even Y coordinate Group 3: Tiles with both an odd X and Y coordnate.

### Pylon Points

#### Control Points

A Pylon Control Point (PCP) is a position where a wire (or rather two) is mounted onto a pylon. Each NRT does contain 4 PCPs which are bitmapped to a byte variable and are represented by the DiagDirection enum

Each track ends on two PCPs and thus requires one pylon on each end. However, there is one exception: Straight-and-level tracks only have one pylon every other tile.

Now on each edge there are two PCPs: One from each adjacent tile. Both PCPs are merged using an OR operation (i. e. if one tile needs a PCP at the postion in question, both tiles get it).

#### Position Points

A Pylon Position Point (PPP) is a position where a pylon is located on the ground. Each PCP owns 8 in (45 degree steps) PPPs that are located around it. PPPs are represented using the Direction enum. Each track bit has PPPs that are impossible (because the pylon would be situated on the track) and some that are preferred (because the pylon would be rectangular to the track).
