cookbook: Added walk through of code example for mouse scroll

Browse Source 
Modified the mouse scroll example to fit better with the tutorial
walkthrough.

Added a stepped walkthrough of the scrollable actor code
example.

between two components:</para>

<para>An actor which is too large to fit on the stage
or inside the area of the UI assigned to it (otherwise
there's no need to scroll over it...).</para>

<para>This displays a cropped view of part of the scrollable
actor, revealing different parts of it as scroll events
occur.</para>

<para>Here are the steps required to set up the two actors:</para>

<para>Create the scrollable actor; it should be larger
than the scrollview. This example uses a <type>ClutterTexture</type>,
but any <type>ClutterActor</type> will work:</para>
<informalexample>
<programlisting>
/* get image file path, set up stage etc. */
ClutterActor *texture;
texture = clutter_texture_new ();
clutter_texture_set_keep_aspect_ratio (CLUTTER_TEXTURE (texture),
TRUE);

* set the texture's height so it's as tall as the stage
* (STAGE_HEIGHT is define'd at the top of the file);
* see <link linkend="textures-aspect-ratio">this recipe</link>
* for more about loading images into textures

image_file_path,
NULL);
</programlisting>
</informalexample>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Create the viewport. The simplest way to do
this is with a <type>ClutterGroup</type>:</para>
<informalexample>
<programlisting>
<![CDATA[
ClutterActor *viewport;
viewport = clutter_group_new ();
/* viewport is _shorter_ than the stage (and the texture) */
clutter_actor_set_size (viewport, STAGE_WIDTH, STAGE_HEIGHT * 0.5);
/* align the viewport to the center of the stage's y axis */
clutter_actor_add_constraint (viewport,
clutter_align_constraint_new (stage, CLUTTER_BIND_Y, 0.5));
/* viewport needs to respond to scroll events */
clutter_actor_set_reactive (viewport, TRUE);
/* clip all actors inside the viewport to that group's allocation */
clutter_actor_set_clip_to_allocation (viewport, TRUE);
]]>
</programlisting>
</informalexample>
<para>The key here is calling
<code>clutter_actor_set_clip_to_allocation (viewport, TRUE)</code>.
This configures the <varname>viewport</varname> group so
that any of its children are clipped: i.e. only the area of
the children which fits inside the group is visible. This
in turn requires setting an explicit size on the group,
rather than allowing it to size itself to fit its
children (the default).</para>
</listitem>

<para>Put the scrollable actor into the scroll view and
the scroll view into its container (in this case,
the default stage):</para>

<para>The approach taken here is to move the scrollable
actor up, relative to the viewport. Initially, the
scrollable will have a <code>y</code> coordinate value
of <code>0.0</code> (it is aligned to the top of the viewport).
Scrolling up subtracts from the
<code>y</code> coordinate (down to a minumum of
<code>viewport_height - scrollable_height</code>). This moves
the top of the scrollable "outside" the clip area of the
viewport; simultaneously, more of the bottom part of the
scrollable moves into the clip area, becoming visible.</para>
<para>Scrolling down adds to the <code>y</code> coordinate
(but only up to a maximum value of <code>0.0</code>).</para>
</listitem>
<listitem>
<para>Connect the callback handler to the signal; note
that we pass the scrollable (the texture) to the callback,
as we're moving the texture inside the viewport to
create the scrolling effect:</para>

g_signal_connect (viewport,
"scroll-event",
G_CALLBACK (_scroll_event_cb),
texture);
