5737cf869f [layout] Initial implementation of FlowLayout
FlowLayout is a layout manager that arranges its children in a
reflowing line; the orientation controls the major axis for the
layout: horizontal, for reflow on the Y axis, and vertical, for
reflow on the X axis.

431a63d04a [layout] Store and use the container inside BinLayout
The BinLayout should store a pointer to the Container that it is
using it as the layout manager.

This allows us to fix the API and drop the additional Container
arguments from set_alignment() and get_alignment().

This also allows us to add a ClutterBinLayout::add() method which
adds an actor and sets the alignment policies without dealing with
variadic arguments functions and GValue (de)marshalling.

755896664f [layout] Set a back pointer to Box inside the layout
Use the LayoutManager API to set a back pointer to the Box actor
inside the LayoutManager used by the box.

This also allows us to replace the LayoutManager on a Box, since
the LayoutManager will be able to replace all the metadata if
needed.

aaae60e178 [layout] Implement ClutterBox::add
The ClutterBox::add method is a simple wrapper around the Container
add_actor() method and the LayoutManager layout properties API. It
allows adding an actor to a Box and setting the layout properties in
one call.

If the LayoutManager used by the Box does not support layout properties
then the add() method short-circuits out.

Along with the varargs version of the method there's also a vector-based
variant, for language bindings to use.

a2086f1178 [layout] Add LayoutMeta
Instead of overloading ClutterChildMeta with both container and layout
metadata and delegate to every LayoutManager implementation to keep a
backpointer to the layout manager instance, we can simply subclass
ChildMeta into LayoutMeta and presto! everything works out pretty well
for everyone.

af5e432ba9 [actor] Allow querying whether we are painted by a Clone
It would be useful inside a custom actor's paint function to be able to
tell if this is a primary paint call, or if we are in fact painting on
behalf of a clone.

In Mutter we have an optimization not to paint occluded windows; this is
desirable for the windows per se, to conserve bandwith to the card, but
if something like an application switcher is using clones of these windows,
they will not get painted either; currently we have no way of
differentiating between the two.

37bd35f592 [actor] Allow changing the transformations matrix
Currently, the transformation matrix for an actor is constructed
from scenegraph-related accessors. An actor, though, can call COGL
API to add new transformations inside the paint() implementation,
for instance:

  static void
  my_foo_paint (ClutterActor *a)
  {
    ...
    cogl_translate (-scroll_x, -scroll_y, 0);
    ...
  }

Unfortunately these transformations will be completely ignored by
the scenegraph machinery; for instance, getting the actor-relative
coordinates from event coordinates is going to break badly because
of this.

In order to make the scenegraph aware of the potential of additional
transformations, we need a ::apply_transform() virtual function. This
vfunc will pass a CoglMatrix which can be used to apply additional
operations:

  static void
  my_foo_apply_transform (ClutterActor *a, CoglMatrix *m)
  {
    CLUTTER_ACTOR_CLASS (my_foo_parent_class)->apply_transform (a, m);
    ...
    cogl_matrix_translate (m, -scroll_x, -scroll_y, 0);
    ...
  }

The ::paint() implementation will be called with the actor already
using the newly applied transformation matrix, as expected:

  static void
  my_foo_paint (ClutterActor *a)
  {
    ...
  }

The ::apply_transform() implementations *must* chain up, so that the
various transformations of each class are preserved. The default
implementation inside ClutterActor applies all the transformations
defined by the scenegraph-related accessors.

Actors performing transformations inside the paint() function will
continue to work as previously.

33400c0aae [cogl] Improve ability to break out into raw OpenGL via begin/end mechanism
Although we wouldn't recommend developers try and interleve OpenGL drawing
with Cogl drawing - we would prefer patches that improve Cogl to avoid this
if possible - we are providing a simple mechanism that will at least give
developers a fighting chance if they find it necissary.

Note: we aren't helping developers change OpenGL state to modify the
behaviour of Cogl drawing functions - it's unlikley that can ever be
reliably supported - but if they are trying to do something like:

   - setup some OpenGL state.
   - draw using OpenGL (e.g. glDrawArrays() )
   - reset modified OpenGL state.
   - continue using Cogl to draw

They should surround their blocks of raw OpenGL with cogl_begin_gl() and
cogl_end_gl():

   cogl_begin_gl ();
   - setup some OpenGL state.
   - draw using OpenGL (e.g. glDrawArrays() )
   - reset modified OpenGL state.
   cogl_end_gl ();
   - continue using Cogl to draw

Again; we aren't supporting code like this:
   - setup some OpenGL state.
   - use Cogl to draw
   - reset modified OpenGL state.
When the internals of Cogl evolves, this is very liable to break.

cogl_begin_gl() will flush all internally batched Cogl primitives, and emit
all internal Cogl state to OpenGL as if it were going to draw something
itself.

The result is that the OpenGL modelview matrix will be setup; the state
corresponding to the current source material will be setup and other world
state such as backface culling, depth and fogging enabledness will be also
be sent to OpenGL.

Note: no special material state is flushed, so if developers want Cogl to setup
a simplified material state it is the their responsibility to set a simple
source material before calling cogl_begin_gl. E.g. by calling
cogl_set_source_color4ub().

Note: It is the developers responsibility to restore any OpenGL state that they
modify to how it was after calling cogl_begin_gl() if they don't do this then
the result of further Cogl calls is undefined.

6d9498da7c Adds a cogl_flush() to give developers breaking into raw GL a fighting chance
This function should only need to be called in exceptional circumstances
since Cogl can normally determine internally when a flush is necessary.

As an optimization Cogl drawing functions may batch up primitives
internally, so if you are trying to use raw GL outside of Cogl you stand a
better chance of being successful if you ask Cogl to flush any batched
geometry before making your state changes.

cogl_flush() ensures that the underlying driver is issued all the commands
necessary to draw the batched primitives.  It provides no guarantees about
when the driver will complete the rendering.

This provides no guarantees about the GL state upon returning and to avoid
confusing Cogl you should aim to restore any changes you make before
resuming use of Cogl.

If you are making state changes with the intention of affecting Cogl drawing
primitives you are 100% on your own since you stand a good chance of
conflicting with Cogl internals.  For example clutter-gst which currently
uses direct GL calls to bind ARBfp programs will very likely break when Cogl
starts to use ARBfb programs internally for the material API, but for now it
can use cogl_flush() to at least ensure that the ARBfp program isn't applied
to additional primitives.

This does not provide a robust generalized solution supporting safe use of
raw GL, its use is very much discouraged.

24ca92951f [cogl] Adds cogl_read_pixels to replace direct use of glReadPixels
To allow for flushing of batched geometry within Cogl we can't support users
directly calling glReadPixels.  glReadPixels is also awkward, not least
because it returns upside down image data.

All the unit tests have been swithed over and clutter_stage_read_pixels now
sits on top of this too.

81bc2b4cc7 [actor] Remove unused clutter_actor_pick()
The clutter_actor_pick() function just emits the ::pick signal
on the actor. Nobody should be using it, since the paint() method

by itself. The clutter_actor_pick() is just confusing things.
