<title>Clutter Overview</title>

<para>

Clutter is a GObject based library for creating fast, visually
|
|
rich, graphical user interfaces.
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
Clutter works by manipulating a scene-graph of 2D surfaces, or 'actors',
|
|
inside a 3D space.
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
#ClutterActor is the base class for such surfaces. All
|
|
#ClutterActor<!-- -->s can be positioned, scaled and rotated in 3D space.
|
|
In addition, other properties can be set, such as 2D clipping, children and
|
|
opacity. Tranforms applied to a parent actor also apply to any children.
|
|
Actors are also able to receive events.
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
Subclasses of #ClutterActor include #ClutterStage, #ClutterTexture,
|
|
#ClutterLabel, #ClutterRectangle, #ClutterEntry and
|
|
#ClutterGroup. #ClutterActor<!-- -->s are added to a parent, transformed
|
|
and then made visible.
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
#ClutterStage is the top level #ClutterActor - it's the representation
|
|
of a window, or framebuffer. It is created automatically when Clutter is
|
|
initialised. #ClutterStage is a #ClutterGroup, a class
|
|
implementing the #ClutterCointainer interface. Clutter currently
|
|
only supports a single stage.
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
#ClutterTimeline<!-- -->s provide the basis for Clutter's animation
|
|
utilities. Multiple timelines can be synchronised using #ClutterScore,
|
|
and #ClutterBehaviour and #ClutterEffect allow for the creation of
|
|
animation effects such as transitions.
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
<para>
|
|
|
|
Clutter further contains a number of utilities, including;
|
|
#ClutterScript - for loading 'UI definition' files formatted in
|
|
JSON, #ClutterShader - a class for applying GPU shaders to actors,
|
|
#ClutterModel - a utility class for MVC list type implementations
|
|
and #ClutterFixed - fixed point math utilities.
