Clutter has a set of command line options that are added to every
application by means of clutter_init() or by obtaining the Clutter
GOptionGroup and using g_option_context_parse(). Thus, every Clutter
application will automatically have an --help command line switch
showing the list of options and their description.
At the moment, Clutter does not enable localization of the help,
thus making it less than useful on non-English locales.
This patch enables the machinery to create a localization file and
load it when initializing Clutter, by means of the GLib macros and
locale.h API we already use.

Instead of including GL/gl.h directly it now includes cogl/cogl.h
instead which should include the right GL header.
Instead of using dlopen to specifically open libGL it now tries to use
dlsym with RTLD_NEXT. This requires defining _GNU_SOURCE on GNU
systems. If RTLD_NEXT is not available it will try passing NULL which
is unlikely to work but it will at least catch the case where it
returns the wrapper version of glGetString to prevent infinite
recursion.
This should hopefully make it work on OS X where the name of the
header and library are different (although this is currently
untested).
When updating the PangoContext with the current options (font name,
options, resolution) pass the PangoContext instead of the Clutter
MainContext structure pointer.
When removing a binding entry from the binding pool we should not
only remove it from the hash table, but also from the linked list
we use to iterate over inside the block/unblock_action() pair.
The clutter_binding_pool_list_actions() was not implemented. The
utility of a call listing all the action names is also debatable:
all the functions related to the key bindings take the key symbol
and modifiers -- except the block_action() and unblock_action()
pair.
Sometimes an actor needs to set specific font rendering options on
the PangoContext without changing settings for every other text-rendering
actor.
In order to do this, we need a new public method to create a Pango
context object -- preset with all the default settings -- owned by the
developer and not shared with the rest of Clutter.
This new method is called clutter_actor_create_pango_context(); while
it does not strictly depend on a ClutterActor, it is a good idea to
have it inside the ClutterActor API to map the current get_pango_context()
method and in case we start storing screen-specific data to the Actor
itself during the 1.x API cycle.
The _clutter_context_create_pango_context() should create a new
context; the function returning the PangoContext stored inside the
MainContext structure should be named _get_pango_context() instead.
The following functions are fixed:
clutter_animation_set_actor
clutter_animation_set_timeline
clutter_animation_set_alpha
This is related to bug 1392 which discusses the problem for
behaviour_set_alpha.
Bug 1392 - behaviour_set_alpha set same alpha twice lead to warning
and destroy the input alpha
The following functions are fixed:
clutter_actor_set_shader
clutter_alpha_set_timeline
clutter_behaviour_set_alpha
clutter_clone_texture_set_parent_texture
They either now reference the new value before destroying the old
value, or just return immediately if the values are the same.
It previously attempted to set the mode on the alpha using
clutter_animation_set_mode_internal, but this was setting the mode on
priv->alpha. At that point in the code priv->alpha is always NULL.
clutter_animation_set_mode_internal now takes a parameter to specify
which alpha to modify.
As of now, a key binding installed into a BindingPool is always there
and cannot be changed.
This is problematic for sub-classes trying to override the callback
or the action for a given key binding.
This commit adds the ability to override the closure for an existing
key binding inside a binding pool -- assumed the caller knows the
key symbol and modifiers used to install the key binding in the first
place.
Otherwise the call to clutter_alpha_set_func sets the mode back to
CLUTTER_CUSTOM_MODE so clutter_alpha_get_mode won't get back the same
value that was set.
* units-rework:
[texture] Do not mix fixed point and units values
[tests] Fix the actor detection
[units] Do not use fixed point and units interchangeably
The API has been changed to take an explicit length for the number of
texture coordinates passed, and it's now documented that if there are
more layers to the current material than the number of texture coords
passed, then default coordinates will be generated for the other
layers.
cogl_material_rectangle should now handle the case where a single
sliced texture is supplied as a material layer by falling back to
cogl_texture_rectangle. We are nearly at the point that
cogl_texture_rectangle could be deprecated. A few issues remain
though, such as not considering waste in cogl_material_rectangle.
The other colors of a material; such as the ambient and diffuse color are
only relevent when we can enable lighting. This adds a basic unlit
color property.
Later cogl_set_source_color can be integrated to either modify the color
of the current source material, or maintain a special singlton CoglMaterial
that is modified by calls to cogl_set_source_color and implicitly made
current.
This flattens the three functions: cogl_material_flush_gl_material_state,
.._flush_gl_alpha_func and .._flush_gl_blend_func into one:
cogl_flush_material_gl_state which doesn't takes a material handle. (the handle
is instead taken from the context.)
This has allows us to avoid re-submitting some state to OpenGL when the
material has not been replaced.
Note: Avoiding redundant state changes for material layers isn't dealt with
in this patch.
This converts clutter-texture to use the new CoglMaterial API instead of
cogl_texture_rectangle.
This change does not add multi-texturing support to Clutter, it's more about
aiming to deprecate cogl_texture_rectangle, and moving everything over to the
cogl_set_source(material); cogl_draw_somthing(); coding pattern.
With this patch, the code can be built with/without CoglMaterial support so we
can do comparisons of the old/new code for a transient period. (look for the
USE_COGL_MATERIAL define)
Note: The FBO paths haven't currently been tested, so they may need some
tweaks.
Removed trailing white space from the following files:
- clutter-clone-texture.c
- clutter-texture.c
- clutter-texture.h
- cogl/cogl-texture.h
- cogl/gl/cogl-context.c
- cogl/gl/cogl-texture.c
- cogl/gl/cogl-context.h
The direction of the text depends on the locale, and it is the
basic setting needed to enable internationalization of user
interfaces.
This commit allows setting the direction of the PangoContext instance
used by Clutter by using the CLUTTER_TEXT_DIRECTION environment
variable, or by passing the --clutter-text-direction command line
argument. Valid values are:
ltr - for left-to-right locales
rtl - for right-to-left locales
The default is LTR.
Ideally, this should be a value set by the localization teams on the
PO file, but this step requires some build system surgery to allow
the translation of the Clutter strings.
When calling clutter_backend_get_font_name(), if no default font
name has previously been set, we just set the default and return
a pointer to it - like we do for the font options.
Instead of storing the default font name and size as a pre-processor
macro, use the newly added ClutterBackend API to retrieve the current
default font from the backend.
The default backend stores some of the global defaults, like the
font options, text resolution, double click settings. It should also
store the default font name, to allow various text-based actors to
share the same settings.
When the font name changes, the ::font-changed signal is emitted,
to allow actors to pick up the change.
When the ClutterBackend notifies of changes in the resolution or
font options, update the PangoContext stored by Clutter's main
context. This allows changing the backend font-related settings at
runtime.
The PangoContext should be stored once, and inside the main
Clutter context. Each actor for which clutter_actor_get_pango_context()
has been called will hold a reference on the Pango context as well.
This makes it possible to update the text rendering for Clutter
by using only public API.
Rendering text inside an actor is pretty much impossible without
using internal API to create the various pieces like the PangoContext
and the font map.
Each actor should have the ability to create a PangoContext, which
is the only object needed to generate layouts and change the various
Pango settings.
This commit adds a clutter_actor_get_pango_context() function that
creates a PangoContext inside the ClutterActor private data and allows
the creation of PangoLayouts when needed. If the actor already
has a PangoContext, the same instance is returned.
The PangoContext is created only on demand.
The ClutterBackend instance at the moment lacks the ability to
notify runtime changes of the font options and the resolution.
For this reason, this commit adds a ::resolution-changed and a
::font-changed signals to the Backend class.
The ::resolution-changed signal is emitted when set_resolution()
is called with a different DPI; ::font-changed is emitted when the
cairo_font_options_t* changes from the default.

This aims to remove all use of fixed point within Clutter and Cogl. It aims to
not break the Clutter API, including maintaining the CLUTTER_FIXED macros,
(though they now handle floats not 16.16 fixed)
It maintains cogl-fixed.[ch] as a utility API that can be used by applications
(and potentially for focused internal optimisations), but all Cogl interfaces
now accept floats in place of CoglFixed.
Note: the choice to to use single precision floats, not doubles is very
intentional. GPUs are basically all single precision; only this year have high
end cards started adding double precision - aimed mostly at the GPGPU market.
This means if you pass doubles into any GL[ES] driver, you can expect those
numbers to be cast to a float. (Certainly this is true of Mesa wich casts
most things to floats internally) It can be a noteable performance issue to
cast from double->float frequently, and if we were to have an api defined in
terms of doubles, that would imply a *lot* of unneeded casting. One of the
noteable issues with fixed point was the amount of casting required, so I
don't want to overshoot the mark and require just as much casting still. Double
precision arithmatic is also slower, so it usually makes sense to minimize its
use if the extra precision isn't needed. In the same way that the fast/low
precision fixed API can be used sparingly for optimisations; if needs be in
certain situations we can promote to doubles internally for higher precision.
E.g.
quoting Brian Paul (talking about performance optimisations for GL programmers):
"Avoid double precision valued functions
Mesa does all internal floating point computations in single precision
floating point. API functions which take double precision floating point
values must convert them to single precision. This can be expensive in the
case of glVertex, glNormal, etc. "
test-cogl-material now runs on GLES 1 using the PVR GLES1 SDK (though since
only 2 texture units are supported the third rotating light map doesn't show)
Note: It currently doesn't build for GLES 2.0
My previous work to provide muti-texturing support has been extended into
a CoglMaterial abstraction that adds control over the texture combine
functions (controlling how multiple texture layers are blended together),
the gl blend function (used for blending the final primitive with the
framebuffer), the alpha function (used to discard fragments based on
their alpha channel), describing attributes such as a diffuse, ambient and
specular color (for use with the standard OpenGL lighting model), and
per layer rotations. (utilizing the new CoglMatrix utility API)
For now the only way this abstraction is exposed is via a new
cogl_material_rectangle function, that is similar to cogl_texture_rectangle
but doesn't take a texture handle (the source material is pulled from
the context), and the array of texture coordinates is extended to be able
to supply coordinates for each layer.
Note: this function doesn't support sliced textures; supporting sliced
textures is a non trivial problem, considering the ability to rotate layers.
Note: cogl_material_rectangle, has quite a few workarounds, for a number of
other limitations within Cogl a.t.m.
Note: The GLES1/2 multi-texturing support has yet to be updated to use
the material abstraction.
Multitexturing allows blending multiple layers of texture data when texturing
some geometry. A common use is for pre-baked light maps which can give nice
lighting effects relativly cheaply. Another is for dot-3 bump mapping, and
another is applying alpha channel masks.
The dot-3 bump mapping would be really nice one day, but currently cogl doesn't
support lighting so that's not dealt with in this patch.
notable limitations:
- It can only texture rectangles a.t.m - and like cogl_texture_rectangle there
is no support for rotated texturing.
- Sliced textures are not supported. I think I've figured out how to handle
layers with different slice sizes at least for rectangular geometry, but I'm
not sure how complex it becomes once rotations are possible and texturing
arbitrary cogl_polygons.
- Except for this new API, cogl still doesn't know about more than one texture
unit, and so has no way of caching any enables related to other units. So that
things don't break it's currently necessary to disable anything to do with
additional units as soon as we are done with them which isn't ideal.
- No clutter API yet.
This follows the convention of GtkLabel/GtkEntry in GTK+ and the old
ClutterEntry.
It makes it easier to use strlen/strcmp etc on the output, since we can
assume that it is always a string.
This commit also updates the test unit for ClutterText to verify that
the clutter_text_get_text() function also returns an empty string when
a ClutterText actor has been created.
The clutter-private.h header already includes cogl-pango.h with
the correct inclusion path, because the main context stores a
pointer to the font map.
There is no need for clutter-text.c to include cogl-pango.h
again since it already includes clutter-private.h.
