The animation tutorial was written in the Good Ol' 0.x days, and has
barely been updated during the 1.x cycle; it only referenced low level
or deprecated API, and the ClutterActor class description has a whole
section on how to animate actors using both the implicit and the
explicit animation API.
The implicit animations only apply to properties that are documented as
'animatable'; the explicit animations apply to any property defined
through GObject or ClutterAnimatable.
For 1.x, we still have a duration of 0 msecs, but we have a valid easing
state, so we can change the easing parameters without calling save and
restore.
By checking if the interval is valid inside compute_value() we can catch
the cases where the interval values of a PropertyTransition are set
after the transition has been added to an Animatable instance - i.e. the
following code:
let transition = new Clutter.PropertyTransition();
transition.set_property_name('opacity');
actor.add_transition('opacityAnim', transition);
transition.set_to_value(0);
should be equivalent to:
let transition = new Clutter.PropertyTransition();
transition.set_property_name('opacity');
transition.set_to_value(0);
actor.add_transition('opacityAnim', transition);
instead of emitting a warning.
Once a ClutterPropertyTransition is attached to a ClutterAnimatable, if
no interval is set we can simply use the current state of the property
to define the from and to values. This allows the creation of property
transitions from the current state of the Animatable instance without
excessive verbosity.
ClutterContent implementations may allow repeating their contents when
painting; we should provide the repeat policy on the actor, like we do
for scaling filters and content gravity.
ClutterActor's x-align and y-align properties should be used to control
the alignment of the PangoLayout when painting it within a larger
allocation, and the ClutterText has the x-expand or the y-expand flags
set.
Fixed positions are defined to be initialized at 0,0 whenever
enabled, by setting fixed_position_enabled to true, or by setting
just one of x/y. This normally happens in the defaults, but we need
to make sure it also happens if a fixed position was once set but
then disabled. We do this by always resetting it back to 0,0 when
fixed_position_set is unset.
Instead of showing the full timestamp for debugging messages that happen
within a second, showing the delta from the previous full timestamp can
be more useful when debugging; this allows immediately seeing the time
difference, instead of doing the math in our heads.
Only for debug builds, the debug name should include a) actor name, b)
type name, and c) pointer address.
For non-debug builds we can live with the actor/type name.
For now, it just generates a simple horizontal slide (by writing
to /dev/uinput) and checks that the stage gets the events at the
expected coordinates.
The test won't run if it doesn't have read/write permissions to
/dev/uinput.
It also adds OS_LINUX to config.h.
ClutterGridLayout is port of GtkGrid to a Clutter layout manager. All
the logic is taken from gtkgrid.c, so all the credits should go to
Matthias Clasen for writing this nice piece of code.
ClutterGridLayout supports adding children with it's own methods
GridLayout.attach() and GridLayout.attach_next_to() as well as
Actor.add_child() and friends. The latter adds children in a similar
fashion to ClutterBoxLayout
