Some events may contain precise scrolling information coming from
devices like trackpads and touchscreens. ClutterEvent should allow
setting and getting this information.
Yes, it's not really the proper GL name for a linear-on-every-axis of a
texture plus linear-between-mipmap-levels minification filter, but it
has three redeeming qualities as a name:
- LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR sucks, as it introduces GL concepts like
mipmaps in the API naming, while we're trying to avoid that;
- people using GL already know what 'trilinear' means in this context
without going all Khronos on their asses;
- we're using 2D textures anyway, so 'linear on two axes and linear
between mipmap levels' can be effectively approximated to
'trilinear'.
I mean, if even the OpenGL official wiki says:
Unfortunately, what most people think of as "trilinear" is not linear
filtering of a 3D texture, but what in OpenGL terms is GL_LINEAR mag
filter and GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR in the min filter in a 2D texture.
That is, it is bilinear filtering of each appropriate mipmap level,
and doing a third linear filter between the adjacent mipmap levels.
Hence the term "trilinear".

then the horse has already been flogged to death, and I don't intend to
be accused of necrophilia and sadism by flogging it some more.
Prior art: every single GL tutorial in the history of ever;
CoreAnimation's scaling filter enumerations.
If people want to start using 1D or 3D textures they they are probably
going to be using Cogl API directly, and that has the GL naming scheme
for minification and magnification filters anyway.
ClutterContent is an interface for creating delegate objects that handle
what an actor is going to paint.
Since they are a newly added type, they only hook into the new PaintNode
based API.
The position and size of the content is controlled in part by the
content's own preferred size, and by the ClutterContentGravity
enumeration.
It is sometimes useful to be able to have better control on when a
repaint function is called. Currently, all repaint functions are called
prior to the stages update phase of the frame processing.
We can introduce flags to represent the point in the frame update
process in which we wish Clutter called the repaint function.
As a bonus, we can also add a flag that causes adding a repaint function
to spin the master clock.
Now that we reinstated Group to its "former glory", we need to ensure
that applications using the deprecated containers with the new DOM API
in ClutterActor can actually work - or, at least, not break horribly.
This actually means making sure that ClutterStage and ClutterGroup can
cope with the DOM, while retaining their old implementations, as well as
their bizarre idiosyncrasies and their utter, utter brokenness.
Just like ClutterBindConstraint has two shorthand enumerations for binding
position and size and avoid using multiple instances, ClutterAlignConstraint
should have a way to align an actor with the same alignment factor on both
axis at the same time; this is especially useful for centering actors.
