We need to make sure that ClutterActor::transition-stopped is emitted
after the transition was removed from the actor's list of transitions.
We cannot just remove the TransitionClosure from the hash table that
holds the transitions associated to an actor, and let the
TransitionClosure free function stop the timeline, thus emitting the
::transition-stopped signal - otherwise, stopping the timeline will end
up trying to remove the transition from the hash table, and we'll get
either a warning or a segfault.
Since we know we're removing the timeline anyway, we can emit the signal
ourselves in case the timeline is playing, in both the implicit and
explicit cases.
The :transform property controls the modelview matrix of an actor; it
can be used to set a custom modelview matrix on the actor, as opposed
to the decomposed transformations (rotation, scaling, translation)
provided by the ClutterActor class.
The transitions we create implicitly should be removed from the set of
transitions associated to an actor; the transitions explicitly
associated to an actor, though, have to survive the emission of their
'stopped' signal.
We can remove the update_transition() private method, and move its
functionality inside the create_transition() private method, thereby
removing lots of duplicated code, as well as redundant checks on the
existence of a transition. This will allow handling transition updates
atomically in the future.
We use floorf() for the allocation origin, and ceilf() for the
allocation size. Swapping the two introduces rounding errors if
the original allocation is not clamped to the nearest pixel.
We need an alternative to the translation performed by the anchor point,
one that possibly applies to all three axes and is relative to the
pivot-point.

For some transformations we need to be able to set the Z component of
the pivot point.
Unlike :pivot-point, the Z coordinate is not normalized because actors
are 2D surfaces.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677853
Given that the rotation transformations are now affected by the pivot
point, the Actor class should provide an accessors pair only for the
angle of rotation on a given axis.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=677853
The pivot point is a point in normalized coordinates space around which
all transformations revolve.
It supercedes the anchor point and the per-transformation center points
as well as the gravity settings, and tries to sort out the mess that
is the modelview matrix set up in ClutterActor.

The ClutterActor:depth property has always been a bit of a misnomer:
actors are 2D flat surfaces, so they cannot have "depth"; the property
defines the position on the Z axis.
Another side effect of the :depth property is that it decides the
default paint and allocation order on insertion, and that setting it
will call the ClutterContainer.sort_depth_order() method. This has
proven to be a fairly bad design decision that we strung along from the
0.x days, as it gives a false impression of being able to change the
paint and allocation order simply by changing the position on the Z
axis — something that, in reality, requires depth testing to be enabled
during the paint sequence of an actor's parent.
For 2.0 we need a clean break from the side effects, and a better
defined interface.
ClutterActor:z-position is essentially what ClutterActor:depth is, but
doesn't call into ClutterContainer, and has a more apt name.

It can be useful to check whether a ClutterActorIter is currently valid,
i.e. if the iterator has been initialized *and* if the actor to which it
refers to hasn't been updated.
We can also use the is_valid() method in the conformance test suite to
check that initialization has been successful, and that changing the
children list through the ClutterActorIter API leaves the iterator in a
valid state.
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.
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.
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.
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.
The ::stopped signal is emitted when the timeline has been completely
exhausted or when the timeline has been programmatically stopped by
using clutter_timeline_stop(); the notification at the end of the
timeline run allows to write handlers without having to check whether
the current repeat is the last one, like we are forced to do when using
the ::completed signal.

Ensure that resizing transitions smoothly when switching between major
axis; the allocation aspect ratio is not important: it's the size of the
allocation that dictates the major axis.
The property uses an array with the following CSS style syntax
[ top, right, bottom, left ] or
[ top, left/right, bottom ] or
[ top/bottom, left/right ] or
[ top/right/bottom/left ]

When asking for the preferred width and height of an actor, in case
only one of either the minimum or the natural width is set, the margin
offsets should also be applied.
The example code that is meant to be XIncluded into the API reference
should not be part of the interactive test suite: it's code that it is
meant to be used as a reference implementation - whereas the interactive
test suite should be allowed to be lean and test behaviour even in nasty
ways. In short: the test suite should not be the place where we show off
idiomatic code for educational purposes.
The introspection scanner has become slightly more annoying, in the hope
that people start fixing their annotations. As it turns out, it was the
right move.
Calling clutter_actor_allocate() should transition between the current
allocation and the new allocation, by using the defined implementation
of the easing state.
This means that:
clutter_actor_save_easing_state (actor);
clutter_actor_allocate (actor, &new_alloc, flags);
clutter_actor_restore_easing_state (actor);
will cause "actor" to transition between the current allocation and the
desired new allocation.
The trick is to ensure that this happens without invalidating the
entire actor tree, but only the portion of the tree that has the
transitioned actor as the local root. For this reason, we just call the
allocate() implementation from within the transition frame advancement,
without invalidating flags: the actor, after all, *has* a valid
allocation for the duration of the transition.
The :x-expand and :y-expand flags on ClutterActor are used to signal
that an actor should expand horizontally and/or vertically - i.e. that
its parent's layout management policy should try to assign extra space
to the actor when allocating it.
The expand flags are automatic: when set on a leaf node in the actor
tree, they will bubble up through the parent and grandparents up to the
top level actor; during allocation, the actors with children will lazily
compute whether their children needs to expand.
