abef73bb58 Replace cogl_color_set_from_* with cogl_color_init_from_*
The former is not yet "officially" deprecated by the latter, but it's
confusing to have them both in the code base.

655c60aaa9 cookbook: Added recipe for complex animation
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).

60ff660d42 cookbook: Added a second example to show "overlapping" transitions
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.

6c40b10083 cookbook: Added recipe for signal handling in ClutterScript
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.

79a4dbb329 cookbook: Use nicknames for enumeration values
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.

2c3ca20cdc cookbook: Don't use the default stage

6db795baf6 cookbook: Mention nick names as possible values for enums
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).

b532f95917 cookbook: Added introduction to and recipe on ClutterScript
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.

7900ac4dc7 cookbook: Added comments to script example
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).

0fc1c8503b cookbook: Added first draft of script introduction
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.

27d9825abe cookbook: Simplified ClutterScript example
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).

4cba0cf3e8 cookbook: Added ClutterScript example
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.

81481cd803 cookbook: Added recipe for handling pointer events on an actor
Added a recipe about handling enter, leave, and motion events
on an actor.

Gives some pointers to data available from motion events,
explains a bit about stage-relative and actor-relative coords,
and covers how overlapping actors and reactivity of actors
can affect events occurring.

Examples include a simple scribble app showing how to integrate
pointer events into a more useful context.

motion signal.

b648bff10c cookbook: Renamed example for pointer crossing

444d315078 cookbook: Use GdkPixbuf instead of getting data from a texture
Rewrote example for single texture + COGL to use
a GdkPixbuf to load images, rather than reading data
out of another CoglTexture.

The data is then loaded from the pixbuf to a region of
the CoglTexture (as before).

c207820bef cookbook: Added a recipe for cross-fading between two images
The recipe covers a two texture approach (using the Clutter API)
and a single texture approach (using COGL).

It also discusses issues with cross-fading between images of
different sizes with the COGL API, and gives a longer
example of cycling through multiple images in a slideshow
application.

8c0c2924ae cookbook: Renamed front/back to top/bottom in cross-fade example
Front/back seems like the wrong terminology when discussing
actors arranged in layers. Top/bottom fits better with Clutter
API function names and other recipes, so renamed variables.

e332236b87 cookbook: Added a longer slideshow example
Cross-fading between two images is straightforward,
but cycling between more than two is more efficient
if done by copying COGL textures between the
two textures, rather than trying to reposition the
textures.

The example demonstrates how to reuse a pair of
textures to cycle through multiple images.

c230fd8dfd cookbook: Made code examples more consistent
Modified the code example for the Clutter API version
of the cross-fade to use the same command line
as the COGL version.

This also simplifies the explanation in the recipe.

Also made the COGL code sample more consistent with
the Clutter API code sample.

83a8d0b3bb cookbook: Added example code for texture cross-fading
Added simple image viewer which loads image file names
from a directory, displays the first one, then displays
the next in the list with each key press. Uses the
primitive fade front in/fade back out approach.

Also adapted Emmanuele's example code which uses Cogl
to produce a similar effect, but within a single texture.
This code loads two images specified on the command
line and cross-fades between them.

94c8635d0f build: Autogenerate more ignore files
The tests/accessibility, tests/micro-bench and the examples directory
in the coobook create a lot of non-installed binaries. Since we know who
they are, and we ignore them, we can auto-generate the ignore files as
well.

The rest of Clutter is covered by the main ignore file.
