Creating new materials for every Texture instance results in a lot of
ARBfp programs being generated/compiled. Since most textures will just
be similar we should create a template material for all of them, and
then copy it in every instance. Cogl will try to optimize the generation
of the program and, hopefully, will reuse the same program most of the
time.
With this change, a simple test shows that loading 48 textures will
result in just two programs being compiled - with and without batching
enabled.

When disposing a material layer of type 'texture' we should check that
the texture handle is still valid before calling cogl_handle_unref().
This avoids an assertion failure when disposing a ClutterTexture.
Uses ClutterAnimator to implement a reasonably complex
animation of a single actor (movement along a path with
simultaneous scaling).
Provides a metaphor for thinking about ClutterAnimator
animations (stage directions) and explains keys and key
frames in some depth. Also compares ClutterAnimator
with other possible approaches to this type of animation
(implicit animations, ClutterState).
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.
Some debugging tools might require full visibility for the Clutter
symbols; for this reason, and to match what the Clutter dependencies
already allow, we should provide a configure switch to disable linking
with the -Bsymbolic flag.
This patch merges in substantial work from

* Use new introspection --include-uninstalled API since we don't want
to try to find the clutter-1.0.pc file before it's installed.
* Use --pkg-export for Clutter-1.0.gir, since we want the .gir file to
contain the associated pkg-config file.
* Drop the use of --pkg for dependencies; those come from the associated
.gir files. (Actually, --pkg is almost never needed)
* Add --quiet

Intel CE3100 and CE4100 have several planes (framebuffers) and a
hardware blender to blend the planes togeteher to produce the final
image.
clutter_cex100_set_plane() lets you configure which framebuffer clutter
will use for its rendering.
• Use the public COGL_HAS_GLES[12] define instead of the HAVE_COGL_*
ones which are private and defined in config.h,
• Install clutter-egl-headers.h which is needed by clutter-egl.h,
• Remove clutter-stage.h as it's uneeded and does not work since the
single clutter.h include policy,
• Install the egl headers into their own egl directory as the x11 and
glx backends do. The include should then be <clutter/egl/clutter-egl.h>,
so document it. It does not really break anything as nobody could
have used those broken headers.
Intel CE3100 and CE4100 SoCs are designed for TVs. They have separate
framebuffers that are blended together by a piece of hardware to make
the final output. The library that allows you to initialize and
configure those planes is called GDL. A EGL GDL winsys can then be
use with those planes as NativeWindowType to select which plane to use.
This patch adds a new ClutterBackendCex100 backend that can be
selected at compile time with the new --with-flavour=cex100 option.
Some minor fixes here and there: missing include, wrongly placed #endif,
unused variable warning fixes, missing #ifdef.
Make ClutterStageEGL a subclass of either ClutterStageX11 or GObject
depending if you compile with X11 support (EGLX) or not (native).
*** This is an API change ***
The create_target() virtual function should return a CoglHandle to a
texture; clutter_offscreen_effect_get_target(), instead, returns a
CoglMaterial to be painted in the implementation of the paint_target()
virtual function.
Instead of equating textures with materials, and confusing the user of
the API, we should mark the difference more prominently.
First of all, we should return a CoglMaterial* (now that we have that
as a public type) in get_target(); having handles all over the place
does not make it easier to distinguish the semantics of the virtual
functions.
Then we should rename create_target() to create_texture(), to make it
clear that what should be returned is a texture that is used as the
backing for the offscreen framebuffer.
Added a recipe explaining how to connect signals to handlers
in the JSON definition used by ClutterScript; also shows
how to connect the signals in code once the JSON has been
loaded.
Includes guidelines on writing handlers (i.e. need to use
-export-dynamic and non-static functions) and example
which connects a handler for motion events on a rectangle.
GEnum nicknames can be used to set properties in JSON
definitions, so added a callout to the JSON example explaining
this, and showing how to derive the nickname for an enumeration
value.
Modified the example code to use nicknames as well.
As JSON can make use of nicknames for GEnum properties,
mentioned this in the table mapping C property values
to their JSON equivalents (as the nick name is a much
shorter and cleaner way of setting a property in JSON).
Wrote an introduction to using ClutterScript with JSON. Focus
is on explaining why you might want to use it, basic principles
of operation (with annotated JSON sample), and how to map
data types from C to JSON.
Written simultaneously with a short recipe (uses the same sample
code) showing how to load a JSON file and retrieve objects
from it in code.
Commented the ClutterScript example so it can be used
inline as part of the recipe, rather than as an
example in the appendix (it's too simple to warrant
a separate appendix).
New script chapter needs an introduction.
While writing the introduction, also slightly changed the
emphasis of the recipe (towards refactoring an existing
application to use ClutterScript) and incorporated example
code into documentation.
Set a parameter on the XSLT transform so that callout elements
are rendered as text rather than graphics (removes the need
to add callout graphics to the build).
There was too much in the example code to cover in a single
recipe, so I trimmed it down to demonstrate simple
UI building (no constraints, effects, animations, or signals).
Added a simple script and program to load it, to support
recipe on ClutterScript for UI definitions.
Also amended the Makefile (following the pattern of
the tests/interactive Makefile) to enable signal
connection from ClutterScript by passing -export-dynamic
to linker.
Commit eae4561929 tried to clean how it checks for the private actor
flags. However the check for the 'IN_DESTRUCTION' flag in the Win32
backend got inverted so it would always clear the current
context. This was causing _cogl_check_driver_valid to fail later and
then the realize would get stuck in a infinite loop.
