The order in which the MacPorts are installed is important otherwise we open
the user up to a world of pain.
This patch also tweaks the OS X docs to follow the formatting of the rest of
the docs and to discuss the option of GtkDoc.

cogl_clip_push() which accepts a rectangle in model space shouldn't have
been defined to take x,y,width,height arguments because this isn't consistant
with other Cogl API dealing with model space rectangles. If you are using a
coordinate system with the origin at the center and the y+ extending up,
then x,y,width,height isn't as natural as (x0,y0)(x1,y1). This API has
now been replace with cogl_clip_push_rectangle()
(As a general note: the Cogl API should only use the x,y,width,height style
when the appropriate coordinate space is defined by Cogl to have a top left
origin. E.g. window coordinates, or potentially texture coordinates)
cogl_clip_push_window_rect() shouldn't have been defined to take float
arguments since we only clip with integral pixel precision. We also
shouldn't have abbreviated "rectangle". This API has been replaced with
cogl_clip_push_window_rectangle()
cogl_clip_ensure() wasn't documented at all in Clutter 1.0 and probably
no one even knew it existed. This API isn't useful, and so it's now
deprecated. If no one complains we may remove the API altogether for
Clutter 1.2.
cogl_clip_stack_save() and cogl_clip_stack_restore() were originally added
to allow us to save/restore the clip when switching to/from offscreen
rendering. Now that offscreen draw buffers are defined to own their clip
state and the state will be automatically saved and restored this API is now
redundant and so deprecated.
Just like CLUTTER_CHECK_VERSION does version checking at compile
time, we need a way to verify the version of the library that we
are linking against. This is mostly needed for language bindings
and for run-time loadable modules -- when we'll get those.
The indirection through this API isn't necessary since we no longer
arbitrate between the OpenGL matrix API and Cogl's client side API. Also it
doesn't help to maintain an OpenGL style matrix mode API for internal use
since it's awkward to keep restoring the MODELVIEW mode and easy enough to
directly work with the matrix stacks of interest.
This replaces use of the _cogl_current_matrix API with direct use of the
_cogl_matrix_stack API. All the unused cogl_current_matrix API is removed
and the matrix utility code left in cogl-current-matrix.c was moved to
cogl.c.

As part of an incremental process to have Cogl be a standalone project we
want to re-consider how we organise the Cogl source code.
Currently this is the structure I'm aiming for:
cogl/
cogl/
<put common source here>
winsys/
cogl-glx.c
cogl-wgl.c
driver/
gl/
gles/
os/ ?
utils/
cogl-fixed
cogl-matrix-stack?
cogl-journal?
cogl-primitives?
pango/
The new winsys component is a starting point for migrating window system
code (i.e. x11,glx,wgl,osx,egl etc) from Clutter to Cogl.
The utils/ and pango/ directories aren't added by this commit, but they are
noted because I plan to add them soon.
Overview of the planned structure:
* The winsys/ API is the API that binds OpenGL to a specific window system,
be that X11 or win32 etc. Example are glx, wgl and egl. Much of the logic
under clutter/{glx,osx,win32 etc} should migrate here.
* Note there is also the idea of a winsys-base that may represent a window
system for which there are multiple winsys APIs. An example of this is
x11, since glx and egl may both be used with x11. (currently only Clutter
has the idea of a winsys-base)
* The driver/ represents a specific varient of OpenGL. Currently we have "gl"
representing OpenGL 1.4-2.1 (mostly fixed function) and "gles" representing
GLES 1.1 (fixed funciton) and 2.0 (fully shader based)
* Everything under cogl/ should fundamentally be supporting access to the
GPU. Essentially Cogl's most basic requirement is to provide a nice GPU
Graphics API and drawing a line between this and the utility functionality
we add to support Clutter should help keep this lean and maintainable.
* Code under utils/ as suggested builds on cogl/ adding more convenient
APIs or mechanism to optimize special cases. Broadly speaking you can
compare cogl/ to OpenGL and utils/ to GLU.
* clutter/pango will be moved to clutter/cogl/pango
How some of the internal configure.ac/pkg-config terminology has changed:
backendextra -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE # e.g. "x11"
backendextralib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE_LIB # e.g. "x11/libclutter-x11.la"
clutterbackend -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS # e.g. "glx"
CLUTTER_FLAVOUR -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS
clutterbackendlib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_LIB
CLUTTER_COGL -> COGL_DRIVER # e.g. "gl"
Note: The CLUTTER_FLAVOUR and CLUTTER_COGL defines are kept for apps
As the first thing to take advantage of the new winsys component in Cogl;
cogl_get_proc_address() has been moved from cogl/{gl,gles}/cogl.c into
cogl/common/cogl.c and this common implementation first trys
_cogl_winsys_get_proc_address() but if that fails then it falls back to
gmodule.
Input Methods require to be able to set a "pre-edit string", that is
a string that it's just displayed into the Text actor without being
committed to the actor's buffer. The string might require custom Pango
attributes, and an update of the cursor position.
FlowLayout is a layout manager that arranges its children in a
reflowing line; the orientation controls the major axis for the
layout: horizontal, for reflow on the Y axis, and vertical, for
reflow on the X axis.
The BinLayout should store a pointer to the Container that it is
using it as the layout manager.
This allows us to fix the API and drop the additional Container
arguments from set_alignment() and get_alignment().
This also allows us to add a ClutterBinLayout::add() method which
adds an actor and sets the alignment policies without dealing with
variadic arguments functions and GValue (de)marshalling.
Use the LayoutManager API to set a back pointer to the Box actor
inside the LayoutManager used by the box.
This also allows us to replace the LayoutManager on a Box, since
the LayoutManager will be able to replace all the metadata if
needed.
The LayoutManager implementation might opt to take a back pointer
to the Container that is using the layout instance; this allows
direct access to the container itself from within the implementation.
The ClutterBox::add method is a simple wrapper around the Container
add_actor() method and the LayoutManager layout properties API. It
allows adding an actor to a Box and setting the layout properties in
one call.
If the LayoutManager used by the Box does not support layout properties
then the add() method short-circuits out.
Along with the varargs version of the method there's also a vector-based
variant, for language bindings to use.
Instead of overloading ClutterChildMeta with both container and layout
metadata and delegate to every LayoutManager implementation to keep a
backpointer to the layout manager instance, we can simply subclass
ChildMeta into LayoutMeta and presto! everything works out pretty well
for everyone.
The chapter on how to subclass ClutterActor inside the API reference for
Clutter is still using ClutterUnit and referencing to concepts that have
been changed since the document was written.
ClutterBehaviourPath has been changed and ClutterBehaviourBspline has
been removed; now we use ClutterPath everywhere we need to describe a
path. This warrants a chapter in the migration guide.
The get_type() function for ClutterInterval is missing from the
known GObject types, so gtk-doc doesn't know that it has to
introspect it for hierarchy, properties and signals.
Currently, to update a property inside an animation you have to
get the interval for that property and then call the set_final_value()
method.
We can provide a simpler, bind()-like method for the convenience of
the developers that just validates everything and then calls the
Interval.set_final_value().
The version number in the title made sense when we were breaking
API with every minor release. Now that we're API stable we can
drop that and make the output in Devhelp and on the website slightly
more good looking.
We should follow the convention for boxed types initializers of:
<type_name>_from_<another_type> (boxed, value)
For ClutterUnits as well; so:
clutter_units_pixels -> clutter_units_from_pixels
clutter_units_em -> clutter_units_from_em
...
We should still keep the short-hand version as a macro, though.
It might be desirable for some applications and/or platforms to get
every motion event that was delivered to Clutter from the windowing
backend. By adding a per-stage flag we can bypass the throttling
done when processing the events.

It would be useful inside a custom actor's paint function to be able to
tell if this is a primary paint call, or if we are in fact painting on
behalf of a clone.
In Mutter we have an optimization not to paint occluded windows; this is
desirable for the windows per se, to conserve bandwith to the card, but
if something like an application switcher is using clones of these windows,
they will not get painted either; currently we have no way of
differentiating between the two.

Currently, the transformation matrix for an actor is constructed
from scenegraph-related accessors. An actor, though, can call COGL
API to add new transformations inside the paint() implementation,
for instance:
static void
my_foo_paint (ClutterActor *a)
{
...
cogl_translate (-scroll_x, -scroll_y, 0);
...
}
Unfortunately these transformations will be completely ignored by
the scenegraph machinery; for instance, getting the actor-relative
coordinates from event coordinates is going to break badly because
of this.
In order to make the scenegraph aware of the potential of additional
transformations, we need a ::apply_transform() virtual function. This
vfunc will pass a CoglMatrix which can be used to apply additional
operations:
static void
my_foo_apply_transform (ClutterActor *a, CoglMatrix *m)
{
CLUTTER_ACTOR_CLASS (my_foo_parent_class)->apply_transform (a, m);
...
cogl_matrix_translate (m, -scroll_x, -scroll_y, 0);
...
}
The ::paint() implementation will be called with the actor already
using the newly applied transformation matrix, as expected:
static void
my_foo_paint (ClutterActor *a)
{
...
}
The ::apply_transform() implementations *must* chain up, so that the
various transformations of each class are preserved. The default
implementation inside ClutterActor applies all the transformations
defined by the scenegraph-related accessors.
Actors performing transformations inside the paint() function will
continue to work as previously.
Although we wouldn't recommend developers try and interleve OpenGL drawing
with Cogl drawing - we would prefer patches that improve Cogl to avoid this
if possible - we are providing a simple mechanism that will at least give
developers a fighting chance if they find it necissary.
Note: we aren't helping developers change OpenGL state to modify the
behaviour of Cogl drawing functions - it's unlikley that can ever be
reliably supported - but if they are trying to do something like:
- setup some OpenGL state.
- draw using OpenGL (e.g. glDrawArrays() )
- reset modified OpenGL state.
- continue using Cogl to draw
They should surround their blocks of raw OpenGL with cogl_begin_gl() and
cogl_end_gl():
cogl_begin_gl ();
- setup some OpenGL state.
- draw using OpenGL (e.g. glDrawArrays() )
- reset modified OpenGL state.
cogl_end_gl ();
- continue using Cogl to draw
Again; we aren't supporting code like this:
- setup some OpenGL state.
- use Cogl to draw
- reset modified OpenGL state.
When the internals of Cogl evolves, this is very liable to break.
cogl_begin_gl() will flush all internally batched Cogl primitives, and emit
all internal Cogl state to OpenGL as if it were going to draw something
itself.
The result is that the OpenGL modelview matrix will be setup; the state
corresponding to the current source material will be setup and other world
state such as backface culling, depth and fogging enabledness will be also
be sent to OpenGL.
Note: no special material state is flushed, so if developers want Cogl to setup
a simplified material state it is the their responsibility to set a simple
source material before calling cogl_begin_gl. E.g. by calling
cogl_set_source_color4ub().
Note: It is the developers responsibility to restore any OpenGL state that they
modify to how it was after calling cogl_begin_gl() if they don't do this then
the result of further Cogl calls is undefined.
