Neil Roberts b96e6900f5 cogl-pipeline-layer: Use CoglTextureType instead of GL target enum
Instead of storing the GLenum for the target of the last used texture
for a layer it now stores the CoglTextureType instead. The state name
has been renamed to 'texture type' instead of 'texture target'.
Previously the default pipeline layer would store 0 here to represent
that there is no texture. This has been changed to store
COGL_TEXTURE_TYPE_2D instead which means that all pipeline layers
always have a valid value for the texture type. Any places that were
previously fetching the texture from a layer to determine the target
(for example when generating shaders or when enabling a particular
texture target) now use the texture type instead. This means they will
work even for layers that don't have a texture.

This also changes it so that when binding a fallback texture instead
of always using a 2D texture it will now use the default texture
corresponding to the texture type of the layer. That way when the
generated shader tries to do a texture lookup for that type of texture
it will get a valid texture object. To make this work the patch adds a
default texture for 3D textures to the context and also makes the
default rectangle texture actually be a rectangle texture instead of
using a 2D texture.

README for Cogl @COGL_1_VERSION@
===============================================================================

Note: This file is delimited with -- markers so it is possible to split
sections out for other purposes, such as for release notes.

DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cogl is a small open source library for using 3D graphics hardware for
rendering. The API departs from the flat state machine style of OpenGL and is
designed to make it easy to write orthogonal components that can render without
stepping on each others toes.

As well as aiming for a nice API, we think having a single library as opposed
to an API specification like OpenGL has a few advantages too; like being
able to paper over the inconsistencies/bugs of different OpenGL
implementations in a centralized place, not to mention the myriad of OpenGL
extensions. It also means we are in a better position to provide utility
APIs that help software developers since they only need to be implemented
once and there is no risk of inconsistency between implementations.

Having other backends, besides OpenGL, such as drm, Gallium or D3D are
options we are interested in for the future.

--
REQUIREMENTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cogl currently only requires:

  • GLib ≥ @GLIB_REQ_VERSION@
  • OpenGL ≥ 1.3 (or 1.2 + multitexturing), or OpenGL ES 2.0 (or 1.1)
  • GLX, AGL, WGL or an EGL implementation

Cogl also has optional dependencies:

  • GDK-Pixbuf ≥ @GDK_PIXBUF_REQ_VERSION@
     - for image loading
  • Cairo ≥ @CAIRO_REQ_VERSION@
     - for debugging texture atlasing (debug builds only)

The optional Cogl Pango library requires:
  • Cairo ≥ @CAIRO_REQ_VERSION@
  • PangoCairo ≥ @PANGOCAIRO_REQ_VERSION@

On X11, Cogl depends on the following extensions

  • XComposite ≥ @XCOMPOSITE_REQ_VERSION@
  • XDamage
  • XExt
  • XFixes ≥ @XFIXES_REQ_VERSION@

When running with OpenGL, Cogl requires at least version 1.3
or 1.2 with the multitexturing extension. However to build Cogl
you will need the latest GL headers which can be obtained from:

  http://www.khronos.org

If you are building the API reference you will also need:

  • GTK-Doc ≥ @GTK_DOC_REQ_VERSION@

If you are building the additional documentation you will also need:

  • xsltproc
  • jw (optional, for generating PDFs)

If you are building the Introspection data you will also need:

  • GObject-Introspection ≥ @GI_REQ_VERSION@

GObject-Introspection is available from:

  git://git.gnome.org/gobject-introspection

If you want support for profiling Cogl you will also need:

  • UProf ≥ @UPROF_REQ_VERSION@

UProf is available from:

  git://github.com/rib/UProf.git

--
DOCUMENTATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The API references for the latest stable release are available at:

   http://docs.clutter-project.org/docs/cogl/stable/

The experimental 2.0 API can be found here:

   http://docs.clutter-project.org/docs/cogl-2.0-experimental/stable/

   Note: The confusing "stable" at the end refers to the overall Cogl release
   status, not the documentation specifically.

LICENSE

License, version 2.1 or (at your option) later. Some files are licensed under
more permissive licenses MIT or BSD style licenses though so please see

BUILDING AND INSTALLATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please refer to the INSTALL document.

--
BUGS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please report bugs here:

  http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=cogl

You will need a Bugzilla account.

Please include the following in bug reports:

  • what system you're running Cogl on;
  • which version of Cogl you are using;
  • which version of GLib and OpenGL (or OpenGL ES) you are using;
  • which video card and which drivers you are using, including output of
    glxinfo and xdpyinfo (if applicable);
  • how to reproduce the bug.

If you cannot reproduce the bug with one of the tests that come with
Cogl's source code, it can help a lot to include a small test case
displaying the bad behaviour.

If the bug exposes a crash, the exact text printed out and a stack trace
obtained using gdb are greatly appreciated.

CONTRIBUTING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The CODING_STYLE file describes the coding style we use throughout Cogl,
please try your best to conform to this style because the consistency
really helps keep the code maintainable.

We can accept contributions in several ways:
  • Either as patches attached to bugs on bugzilla
      - For this you may be interested in using git-bz.

        See http://git.fishsoup.net/man/git-bz.html for details
  • You can email us patches
      - For this we recommend using git-send-email

  • You can create a remote branch and ask us to pull from that for more
    substantial changes.
      - For this we recommend using github.

Ideally standalone patches should be created using git format-patch since
that makes it easiest to import the patch with a commit message into a
git repository.
