When rendering a glyph from a texture, instead of adding the glyph's
texture handle to the display list it now retrieves the base texture
using _cogl_texture_foreach_subtexture_in_region and adds that
instead. That way the display can recognise that glyphs in the global
atlas are sharing the same texture and combine them into one VBO.
This reverts the changes in 54d8aadf which combined the two glyph
caches into one. We want to start using separate caches again so that
we can non-mipmapped textures into the global atlas.
glib already has a data type to manage a list of callbacks called a
GHookList so we might as well use it instead of maintaining Cogl's own
type. The glib version may be slightly more efficient because it
avoids using a GList and instead encodes the prev and next pointers
directly in the GHook structure. It also has more features than
CoglCallbackList.
Instead of using the CoglHandle type for material variables this updates
the pango code to use CoglMaterial * instead. CoglHandle is the old
typename which is being phased out of the API.
The glyph cache is now stored in a CoglAtlas structure instead of the
custom atlasing code. This has the advantage that it can share code
with the main texture atlas and that it supports reorganizing the
atlas when it becomes full. Unlike the texture atlas, the glyph cache
can use multiple atlases which would be neccessary if the maximum
texture size is reached and we need to create a second
texture. Whenever a display list is created it now has to register a
callback with the glyph cache so that the display list can be
recreated whenever any of the atlases are reorganized. This is needed
because the display list directly stores texture coordinates within
the atlas texture and they would become invalid when the texture is
moved.
The ensure_glyphs_for_layout now works in two steps. First it reserves
space in the atlas for all of the glyphs. The atlas is created with
the DISABLE_MIGRATION flag so that it won't actually copy any textures
if any rearranging is needed. Whenever the position is updated for a
glyph then it is marked as dirty. After space for all of the glyphs
has been reserved it will iterate over all dirty glyphs and redraw
them using Cairo. The rendered glyph is then stored in the texture
with a sub texture update.
The glyphs need to all be set at the right location before starting to
create the display list because the display list stores the texture
coordinates of the glyph. If any of the glyphs were moved around then
the parts of the display list that was created already would become
invalid. To make this work, ensure_glyphs_for_layout is now always
called before rendering a layout or a layout line.
The pango renderer was causing lots of override materials to be allocated
because the vertex_buffer API converts AUTOMATIC mode into REPEAT for
backwards compatibility. By explicitly setting the wrap mode to
CLAMP_TO_EDGE when creating the glyph_material then the vertex_buffer
API will leave it untouched.
