Add example of a simple background color effect applied via
pre_paint() implementation in a ClutterEffect subclass.
This is a simple effect with an incomplete GObject
implementation (no properties, setters or getters)
to make it as easy to follow as possible.
Make sure users get the idea that clutter_init()
has a return value that needs to be checked.
These were fixed via sed magic:
sed -i -s -e "s/clutter_init (.*)/\
if (& != CLUTTER_INIT_SUCCESS)\n return 1/"\

Add an effects chapter which gives a broad overview of
the abstract classes in the effects API, plus a short
example of how to apply one of the stock Clutter
effects (ClutterColorizeEffect).
The recipe explains how to create a custom ClutterDeformEffect
to produce a page fold (code based on ClutterPageTurnEffect).
The example code includes the effect class plus a small
application to apply it to a texture.
Show how to animate an actor using a ClutterPathConstraint.
This demonstrates how to get effects similar to
ClutterPathBehaviour with the modern animation APIs.
Includes 3 examples:
1) Simple ClutterPathConstraint used with implicit animations
2) ClutterPathConstraint used to simulate circular animation,
using ClutterAnimator
3) Creating simple curved path animations with non-linear
easing
Try to make the cookbook pass the distcheck phase, so that we can run
distcheck with --enable-docs, and make sure that a tarballed clutter
release can actually build the cookbook.
Remove the dispose() implementation and replace
with destroy().
This should be promoted as the standard approach
for implementing a composite actor, as it emits a
signal when instances of the actor subclass are destroyed.
Add some extra description to the allocate() function,
explaining how the allocation has to be adjusted to
coordinates relative to the actor as a whole, before
applying to the single child actor it is composed from.
As most actor subclasses will probably want to implement
size requisition, give a simple example of how to do this
on the basis of the composed actor's size, plus some padding.
Added 3 examples for the box layout recipe:
1) Simple box layout demonstrating how to set actor properties
2) Trivial menu implementation using box layout
3) Demonstration app which enables tweaking and testing
of layout property interactions
Also inlined example 1 in the solution section and added
more explanatory text in the discussion.
Other frameworks expose the same functionality as "auto-reverse",
probably to match the cassette tape player. It actually makes sense
for Clutter to follow suit.
clutter_timeline_set_reverse() can be used to
automatically reverse a timeline's direction each time
it completes, so use that in looping animation recipe and
examples.
Added an example showing scaling of an actor on
each of the scaling gravity settings (NORTH_WEST, NORTH etc.),
with a mark indicating the center being used.
Displays the transformed size and position, updated
on each paint of the actor.

Added an example showing how to move two actors between
two states (one minimised, one maximised) using ClutterState
to do the movement. Also shows how movement can be mixed
with other animation (in this case, scaling).
An alternative method (not using constraints) to bind
one actor's size and position to another. Used as
an example in the recipe about resizing one actor in
sync with a source actor.
A simple example showing how to scale an actor to the stage.
Demonstrates ClutterBindConstraint and ClutterAlignConstraint
in a fashion suitable for a short recipe.
Example code which loads an image into a texture, and resizes
the image in response to +/- key presses. The overlay is
a transparent rectangle which is bound to the height and
width of the texture; on clicking the texture, the overlay
is made visible by increasing its opacity.
This demonstrates how to use constraints to simplify code
for resizing an actor which is "dependent" on another actor.
Modified the "animation reuse" sample code to provide
a simpler example to explain in the recipe.
Also modified variable names to mirror the names used
for the previous "complex animation" example and added
some more comments, to further simplify and support the
recipe.
With some help from pippin, moved variable declarations
into more sensible positions within their functions,
changed a function name, and found a better way
to unref a script once its associated actor has
been destroyed.
Extracted the animation into its own JSON definition,
then create a new script and get the animation each
time a rectangle is clicked.
Removes the need to reparent onto the background and
copy property values to the rectangle after the animation,
and generally much cleaner.
Added an example showing how to reuse a ClutterAnimator
instance to animate multiple actors at different times
using an animatable rig, combined with reparenting.
Added another JSON example to show how transitions can
be easily overlapped when using ClutterAnimator (two
sequences of 5 transitions, simultaneous with two
sequences of 1 transition).
Modified the C JSON loader program so it can be used with
this example as well.
