The shader stack held by ClutterMainContext should only be accessed
using functions, and not directly.
Since it's a stack, we can use stack-like operations: push, pop and
peek.
Telling the user about files not found when loading a ClutterScript with
ClutterTextures in it is very useful and can save a few minutes (or
hours) of frustation because it "does not work".
All the nifty things you discover when translating strings not exposed
to anyone. First the clutter-wide record of the number of typos in one
string. Second, ClutterTexture happened to have the only property blurbs
ending with a '.', remove them.
There are too many examples where the default assumption that an actor
paints inside its allocation isn't true, so we now return FALSE in the
base implementation instead. This means that by default we are saying
"we don't know the paint volume of the actor", so developers need to
implement the get_paint_volume virtual to take advantage of culling and
clipped redraws with their actors.
This patch provides very conservative get_paint_volume implementations
for ClutterTexture, ClutterCairoTexture, ClutterRectangle and
ClutterText which all explicitly check the actor's object type to avoid
making any assumptions about subclasses.
When clutter_texture_new_from_actor is use we need to track when the
source actor queues a redraw or a relayout so we can also queue a redraw
or relayout for the texture actor.
This is a fairly extensive second pass at exposing paint volumes for
actors.
The API has changed to allow clutter_actor_get_paint_volume to fail
since there are times - such as when an actor isn't a descendent of the
stage - when the volume can't be determined. Another example is when
something has connected to the "paint" signal of the actor and we simply
have no way of knowing what might be drawn in that handler.
The API has also be changed to return a const ClutterPaintVolume pointer
(transfer none) so we can avoid having to dynamically allocate the
volumes in the most common/performance critical code paths. Profiling was
showing the slice allocation of volumes taking about 1% of an apps time,
for some fairly basic tests. Most volumes can now simply be allocated on
the stack; for clutter_actor_get_paint_volume we return a pointer to
&priv->paint_volume and if we need a more dynamic allocation there is
now a _clutter_stage_paint_volume_stack_allocate() mechanism which lets
us allocate data which expires at the start of the next frame.
The API has been extended to make it easier to implement
get_paint_volume for containers by using
clutter_actor_get_transformed_paint_volume and
clutter_paint_volume_union. The first allows you to query the paint
volume of a child but transformed into parent actor coordinates. The
second lets you combine volumes together so you can union all the
volumes for a container's children and report that as the container's
own volume.
The representation of paint volumes has been updated to consider that
2D actors are the most common.
The effect apis, clutter-texture and clutter-group have been update
accordingly.
Previously we used the transformed allocation but that doesn't take
into account actors with depth which may be projected outside the
area covered by the transformed allocation.
If set_cogl_texture() is called after unsetting the Texture's material
then we really want to make a copy of the template.
Also, we should assert more often if the internal state goes horribly
wrong: at least, we'll have a backtrace.
When building actor relative transforms, instead of using the matrix
stack to combine transformations and making assumptions about what is
currently on the stack we now just explicitly initialize an identity
matrix and apply transforms to that.
This removes the full_vertex_t typedef for internal transformation code
and we just use ClutterVertex.
ClutterStage now implements apply_transform like any other actor now
and the code we had in _cogl_setup_viewport has been moved to the
stage's apply_transform instead.
ClutterStage now tracks an explicit projection matrix and viewport
geometry. The projection matrix is derived from the perspective whenever
that changes, and the viewport is updated when the stage gets a new
allocation. The SYNC_MATRICES mechanism has been removed in favour of
_clutter_stage_dirty_viewport/projection() APIs that get used when
switching between multiple stages to ensure cogl has the latest
information about the onscreen framebuffer.
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.

The expectation is that actors should call clutter_actor_queue_redraw
when ever some private state changes that affects painting *or* picking.
ClutterTexture was not doing this for pick_with_alpha property changes.
This adds a wrapper macro to clutter-private that will use
g_object_notify_by_pspec if it's compiled against a version of GLib
that is sufficiently new. Otherwise it will notify by the property
name as before by extracting the name from the pspec. The objects can
then store a static array of GParamSpecs and notify using those as
suggested in the documentation for g_object_notify_by_pspec.
Note that the name of the variable used for storing the array of
GParamSpecs is obj_props instead of properties as used in the
documentation because some places in Clutter uses 'properties' as the
name of a local variable.
Mose of the classes in Clutter have been converted using the script in
the bug report. Some classes have not been modified even though the
script picked them up as described here:
json-generator:
We probably don't want to modify the internal copy of JSON
behaviour-depth:
rectangle:
score:
stage-manager:
These aren't using the separate GParamSpec* variable style.
blur-effect:
win32/device-manager:
Don't actually define any properties even though it has the enum.
box-layout:
flow-layout:
Have some per-child properties that don't work automatically with
the script.
clutter-model:
The script gets confused with ClutterModelIter
stage:
Script gets confused because PROP_USER_RESIZE doesn't match
"user-resizable"
test-layout:
Don't really want to modify the tests

If a Texture has been set to:
• keep its size synchronized with the image data
• maintain the aspect ratio of the image data
then it should also change its request mode depending on the orientation
of the image data, so that layout managers have a fighting chance of
sizing it correctly.
The marshallers we use for the signals are declared in a private header,
and it stands to reason that they should also be hidden in the shared
object by using the common '_' prefix. We are also using some direct
g_cclosure_marshal_* symbol from GLib, instead of consistently use the
clutter_marshal_* symbol.
in create_pick_material we were using a static boolean to gate when we
show a warning, but that would mean if the problem recurs between
different textures then the warning will only be shown once. We now have
a private bitfield flag instead, just so we don't spew millions of
warnings if the problem is recurring.
This adds a boolean "pick-with-alpha" property to ClutterTexture and when
true, it will use the textures alpha channel to define the actors shape when
picking.
Users should be aware that it's a bit more expensive to pick textures like
this (so probably best not to blindly enable it on *all* your textures)
since it implies rasterizing the texture during picking whereas we would
otherwise just send a solid filled quad to the GPU. It will also interrupt
the internal batching of geometry for pick renders which can otherwise often
be done in a single draw call.
clutter_texture_paint shouldn't need to optimize the case where
paint_opacity == 0 and bailout, since we've been doing this optimization for
all actors in clutter_actor_paint for a while now.
In 125bded81 some comments were introduced to ClutterTexture
complaining that it can have a Cogl texture before being
realized. Clutter always assumes that the single GL context is current
so there is no need to wait until the actor is realized before setting
a texture. This patch replaces the comments with clarification that
this should not be a problem.
The patch also changes the documentation about the realized state in
various places to clarify that it is acceptable to create any Cogl
resources before the actor is realized.

Since using addresses that might change is something that finally
the FSF acknowledge as a plausible scenario (after changing address
twice), the license blurb in the source files should use the URI
for getting the license in case the library did not come with it.
Not that URIs cannot possibly change, but at least it's easier to
set up a redirection at the same place.
As a side note: this commit closes the oldes bug in Clutter's bug
report tool.

This replaces code like this:
if (CLUTTER_ACTOR_IS_VISIBLE (self))
clutter_actor_queue_redraw (self);
with:
clutter_actor_queue_redraw (self);
clutter_actor_queue_redraw internally knows what can be optimized when
the actor is not visible, but it also knows that the queue_redraw signal
must always be sent in case a ClutterClone is cloning a hidden actor.
Reading back the texture data in unrealize does not seem like a
desirable feature any more, clutter has evolved a lot since it was
implemented.
What's wrong with it now:
* It takes *a lot* of time to read the data back with glReadPixel(),
* When several textures share the same CoglTexture, the same data can
be read back multiple times,
* If the underlying material uses multiple texture units, only the
first one was copied back,
* In ClutterCairoTexture, we end up having two separate copies of the
data,
* GL actually manages texture memory accross system/video memory
for us!
For all the reasons above, let's get rid of the glReadPixel() in
Texture::unrealize()
Fixes: OHB#1842
cogl_push_draw_buffer, cogl_set_draw_buffer and cogl_pop_draw_buffer are now
deprecated and new code should use the new cogl_framebuffer_* API instead.
Code that previously did:
cogl_push_draw_buffer ();
cogl_set_draw_buffer (COGL_OFFSCREEN_BUFFER, buffer);
/* draw */
cogl_pop_draw_buffer ();
should now be re-written as:
cogl_push_framebuffer (buffer);
/* draw */
cogl_pop_framebuffer ();
As can be seen from the example above the rename has been used as an
opportunity to remove the redundant target argument from
cogl_set_draw_buffer; it now only takes one call to redirect to an offscreen
buffer, and finally the term framebuffer may be a bit more familiar to
anyone coming from an OpenGL background.
When rendering to an fbo for supporting clutter_texture_new_from_actor we
render to an fbo with the same size as the source actor, but with a viewport
the same size as the stage. We offset the viewport so when we render the
source actor in its normal transformed stage position it lands on the fbo.
Previously we were rounding the transformed position given as a float by
truncating the fraction (just using a C cast) but that resulted in an
incorrect pixel offset when rendering offscreen depending on the source
position.
We now simply + 0.5 before casting (or -0.5 for negative numbers)
For supporting clutter_texture_new_from_actor(): when updating a
ClutterTexture's fbo we previously set up an offset frustum in the
perspective matrix before rendering source actors to an offscreen draw
buffer so as to give a perspective as if it were being drawn at its
original stage location.
Now that Cogl supports offset viewports there is a simpler way...
When we come to render the source actor to our offscreen draw buffer we
now copy the projection matrix from the stage; we create a viewport
that's also the same size as the stage (though larger than the offscreen
draw buffer) and as before we apply the modelview transformations of
the source actors ancestry before painting it.
The only trick we need now is to offset the viewport according to the
transformed (to screen space) allocation of the source actor (something we
required previously too). We negatively offset the stage sized viewport
such that the smaller offscreen draw buffer is positioned to sit underneath
the source actor in stage coordinates.
To help keep clutter_texture_paint maintainable this splits out a big
chunk of standalone code that's responsible for updating the fbo when
clutter_texture_new_from_actor has been used.
When updating the FBO for a source actor (to support
clutter_texture_new_from_actor()) we used to simply set an offscreen draw
buffer to be current, paint the source actor and then explicitly set the
window to be current again. This precluded chaining texture_new_from_actor
though because updating another FBO associated with a source actor would end
up restoring the window as the current buffer instead of the previous
offscreen buffer. Now that we use Cogl's draw buffer stack; chaining
clutter_texture_new_from_actor() should be possible.
cogl_viewport only accepted a viewport width and height, but there are times
when it's also desireable to have a viewport offset so that a scene can be
translated after projection but before hitting the framebuffer.
When cogl_texture_new_from_data() fails in clutter_texture_set_from_data()
and no GError is provided, the clutter app will segfault when dereferencing
the GError ** and emitting LOAD_FINISHED signal.
