This part of the routine checks whether the edge is on-screen, off-screen or partially on-screen, and stores the yaw and pitch angles of the edge in W and RR respectively.
Arguments: A Index into the vergePixelMask table for the pixel bytes that make up the colours of this edge in this segment X Index in the verge buffer of the track segment list entry for the verge, pointing to either the inner edge or outer edge of the verge mark, depending on the verge table we are drawing (so we can use this for fetching yaw angles from the track segment list for the verge) Y Index in the verge buffer of the track segment list entry for the verge, for the inner edge of the verge mark (so we can use this for fetching pitch angles from the track segment list for the verge) C flag Flag to control whether we draw the edge, or just set up variables for the next call: * Clear = draw this edge * Set = do not draw this edge, but do set up the variables to pass to the next call M Yaw angle from the previous call to DrawSegmentEdge N Pitch angle from the previous call to DrawSegmentEdge prevYawIndex Same as X for the first call, or the yaw angle index of the previous call (i.e. the previous segment) if this is not the first call
Returns: X X is unchanged Y Y is unchanged M Set to 128 + edge's yaw angle * 4, to carry through to the next call to DrawSegmentEdge N Set to the edge's pitch angle to carry through to the next call to DrawSegmentEdge
