When computing the pixels value of a ClutterUnits value we should
be caching the value to avoid recomputing for every call of
clutter_units_to_pixels(). We already have a flag telling us to
return the cached value, but we miss the mechanism to evict the
cache whenever the Backend settings affecting the conversion, that
is default font and resolution, change.
In order to implement the eviction we can use a "serial"; the
Backend will have an internal serial field which we retrieve and
put inside the ClutterUnits structure (we split one of the two
64 bit padding fields into two 32 bit fields to maintain ABI); every
time we call clutter_units_to_pixels() we compare the units serial
with that of the Backend; if they match and pixels_set is set to
TRUE then we just return the stored pixels value. If the serials
do not match then we unset the pixels_set flag and recompute the
pixels value.
We can verify this by adding a simple test unit checking that
by changing the resolution of ClutterBackend we get different
pixel values for 1 em.

We should follow the convention for boxed types initializers of:
<type_name>_from_<another_type> (boxed, value)
For ClutterUnits as well; so:
clutter_units_pixels -> clutter_units_from_pixels
clutter_units_em -> clutter_units_from_em
...
We should still keep the short-hand version as a macro, though.
Units as they have been implemented since Clutter 0.4 have always been
misdefined as "logical distance unit", while they were just pixels with
fractionary bits.
Units should be reworked to be opaque structures to hold a value and
its unit type, that can be then converted into pixels when Clutter needs
to paint or compute size requisitions and perform allocations.
The previous API should be completely removed to avoid collisions, and
a new type:
ClutterUnits
should be added; the ability to install GObject properties using
ClutterUnits should be maintained.
Currently, the conversion from em to units is done by using the
default font name inside the backend. For actors using their own
font/text layout we need a way to specify the font name along
with the quantity we wish to transform.
A GValue containing a ClutterUnit should be transformable into a
GValue holding an integer, a floating point value or a fixed point
value.
This means adding more transformation functions when registering
the ClutterUnit GType.
An em is a unit of measurement in typography, equal to the point
size of the current font.
It should be possible to convert a value expressed in em to
ClutterUnits by using the current font and the current DPI as
stored by the default backend.
The stage-with/height-percentage converters had been broken by
the multiple-stages support of Clutter 0.8. They are also made
useless by the fact that Units are now floating point values.
The millimeters and typographic points converters also depended
on the default stage, but they can be reworked to use the default
DPI coming from the default Backend instead.
To avoid clashing with all the scripted changes, clutter-fixed.h and
clutter-units.h were manually converted to internally use floats instead of
16.16 fixed numbers.
Note: again no API changes were made in Clutter.
This is the result of running a number of sed and perl scripts over the code to
do 90% of the work in converting from 16.16 fixed to single precision floating
point.
Note: A pristine cogl-fixed.c has been maintained as a standalone utility API
so that applications may still take advantage of fixed point if they
desire for certain optimisations where lower precision may be acceptable.
Note: no API changes were made in Clutter, only in Cogl.
Overview of changes:
- Within clutter/* all usage of the COGL_FIXED_ macros have been changed to use
the CLUTTER_FIXED_ macros.
- Within cogl/* all usage of the COGL_FIXED_ macros have been completly stripped
and expanded into code that works with single precision floats instead.
- Uses of cogl_fixed_* have been replaced with single precision math.h
alternatives.
- Uses of COGL_ANGLE_* and cogl_angle_* have been replaced so we use a float for
angles and math.h replacements.
ClutterUnits should not be used interchangeably as, or with
ClutterFixed values. ClutterUnits should also not be assumed
to be integers.
This commit fixes the last few improper usages of ClutterUnit
values, and adds a CLUTTER_UNITS_FORMAT macro for safely printing
ClutterUnit values with printf().
Bug 1209 - Move fixed point API in COGL
* clutter/cogl/cogl-fixed.h:
* clutter/cogl/cogl.h.in:
* clutter/cogl/common/Makefile.am:
* clutter/cogl/common/cogl-fixed.c: Add fixed point API, modelled
after the ClutterFixed. The CoglFixed API supercedes the ClutterFixed
one and avoids the dependency of COGL on Clutter's own API.
* clutter/cogl/common/cogl-clip-stack.c:
* clutter/cogl/common/cogl-primitives.c:
* clutter/cogl/common/cogl-primitives.h: Update internal usage of
ClutterFixed to CoglFixed.
* clutter/cogl/gl/Makefile.am:
* clutter/cogl/gl/cogl-primitives.c:
* clutter/cogl/gl/cogl-texture.c:
* clutter/cogl/gl/cogl.c: Ditto, in the GL implementation of the
COGL API.
* clutter/cogl/gles/Makefile.am:
* clutter/cogl/gles/cogl-fbo.c:
* clutter/cogl/gles/cogl-gles2-wrapper.c:
* clutter/cogl/gles/cogl-primitives.c:

the COGL API.
* clutter/pango/pangoclutter-glyph-cache.c:
* clutter/pango/pangoclutter-glyph-cache.h: Ditto, in the Pango
renderer glyphs cache.
* clutter/clutter-fixed.c:
* clutter/clutter-fixed.h: ClutterFixed and related API becomes
a simple transition API for bindings and public Clutter API.

ClutterFixed and ClutterUnit types; G_MAXINT16 and G_MININT16
were not enough to describe those values.
* clutter/clutter-units.h:
* clutter/clutter-fixed.h: Add boundaries for fixed point
and units values.
* doc/reference/clutter-sections.txt: Update the documentation.
* clutter/Makefile.am: Add clutter-units.c
* clutter/clutter-units.[ch]: Add a ClutterUnit fundamental
type, and wrappers for storing it into GValues; also add a
GParamSpec subclass for defining parameters holding ClutterUnit
values. This allows creating GObject properties using units.
* doc/reference/clutter-sections.txt: Document the newly
added API.
* clutter/clutter-actor.c (parse_units),
(clutter_actor_parse_custom_node),
(clutter_scriptable_iface_init): Override the parsing code
for the x, y, width and height properties of ClutterActor,
to allow strings with modifiers when defining the position
and/or the dimensions of an actor. Bare integers are assumed
as pixels; floating point values in the [0, 1] interval are
assumed as percentages; strings can have these modifiers:
- px - pixels
- mm - millimeters
- pt - points (at the current resolution)
- % - percentage of the stage
* clutter/clutter-units.h: Fix the conversion macros
* tests/test-script.json: Test the new values.
* clutter/clutter-label.[ch]: Fix ClutterLabel size allocation when
no bounding box has been provided, and store the box set by the
user so that it can be reused when recomputing the layout. (#600)
(clutter_label_class_init),
(clutter_label_init): Set the :wrap property default to FALSE.
* clutter/clutter-units.h: Add ClutterUnit-to-PangoUnit conversion
macro.
* tests/test-rotate.c: Fix string.
