Add a recipe showing how to implement two simple
effects, based on ClutterEffect: an always gray background,
and a border with configurable width and color.
Also explains the necessity to queue a redraw on
the associated actor if the effect's properties change,
and shows how to implement that.
The example gives the GObject code for both effects,
as well as an example application showing how to use them.
The example also demonstrates how to disable/enable an effect,
making the border round an actor togglable.
Add an effects chapter which gives a broad overview of
the abstract classes in the effects API, plus a short
example of how to apply one of the stock Clutter
effects (ClutterColorizeEffect).
The recipe explains how to create a custom ClutterDeformEffect
to produce a page fold (code based on ClutterPageTurnEffect).
The example code includes the effect class plus a small
application to apply it to a texture.
Added 3 examples for the box layout recipe:
1) Simple box layout demonstrating how to set actor properties
2) Trivial menu implementation using box layout
3) Demonstration app which enables tweaking and testing
of layout property interactions
Also inlined example 1 in the solution section and added
more explanatory text in the discussion.
The recipe covers how to use ClutterBindConstraint
to bind actor sizes together.
It gives some examples of where this approach is appropriate,
as well as explaining an alternative using allocation-changed
or notify::* signals.
Three examples are given:
1. Resizing a texture to the stage.
2. Resizing a rectangle to act as a transparent overlay on
top of a texture (using constraints).
3. Resizing a rectangle to act as a transparent overlay on
top of a texture, but with a size proportional to the texture
(using a handler connected to allocation-changed signals
emitted by the texture).
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.
Explains how to make an actor transparent so that other actors
are visible through it.
Also explains a bit more generally about opacity and how
it's computed from the actor, container, and color; and how actor
visibility is affected by depth (fog) and depth order.
