0afc137918 Revert "layout-manager: Add a new animation API"
This reverts commit 7f6b17bc50.

ClutterLayoutManager implementations should just defer the easing state
set up to the child, and not try to impose a global one.

7f6b17bc50 layout-manager: Add a new animation API
It's similar to to the implicit animation API of ClutterActor and
compatible to deprecated API of ClutterBoxLayout and
ClutterTableLayout.

It adds :use-animations, :easing-mode, :easing-duration and
:easing-delay properties to control animations when allocation of a
child has changed. Layout manager implementers should call

use_animations = clutter_layout_manager_get_easing_state (manager,
                                                          &mode,
                                                          &duration,
                                                          &delay);

from the allocate() virtual function to access these values.

734720ef0f layout-manager: Add a private struct to hold future properties
In order to allow the abstract ClutterLayoutManager class to have own
GObject properties we'll need a private structure.

bca93c1a75 Deprecate ClutterAlpha
It's time. Now that we have clutter_actor_allocate() respecting the
easing state of an actor, and that the LayoutManager animation virtual
functions have been deprecated, we can put ClutterAlpha on the chopping
block, and be done with it, once and for all.

So long, ClutterAlpha; and thanks for all the fish.

d28bce4a25 layout-manager: Deprecate the layout animation
This semi-aborted API was broken for various reasons:

  - it strongly depended on ClutterAlpha, a class we're trying to
    deprecate;
  - it requires a lot of boilerplate and copy-and-paste code;
  - it requires a full relayout of the actor tree for something
    that ought to be automatically handled by ClutterActor.

Now that clutter_actor_allocate() handles transitions using the easing
state of the actor, we can deprecate the LayoutManager API for the 1.x
series, and remove it for the 2.x series.

72fa75c034 actor: Remove automagic "expand" flag
I don't feel comfortable with this feature, and its implementation
still has too many rough edges. We can safely punt it for now, and
introduce it at a later point, as it doesn't block existing features
or API.

2956116561 layout-manager: Add compute_expand() vfunc

flags be able to influence the lazy computation of the expansion flags
on ClutterActor.

11e876c86b actor: Add :layout-manager
Now that ClutterActor implements the Container contract we can actually
defer the size negotiation to a ClutterLayoutManager directly from the
default implementation of the Actor's virtual functions.

As much as we can; the remaining warnings are mostly valid things that
the introspection scanner still flags as potential issues.

4a21425f48 layout: Let begin_animation() return the Alpha
When beginning a new animation for a LayoutManager, the implementation
should return the ClutterAlpha used. This allows controlling the
timeline and/or modifying the animation parameters on the fly.

f94a903d9e layout: Add animation support to LayoutManager
In order to animate a fluid layout we cannot use the common animation
code paths as they will override the size request and allocation paths
that are handled by the layout manager itself.

One way to introduce animations in the allocation sequence is to use a
Timeline and an Alpha to compute a progress value and then use that
value to interpolate an ActorBox between the initial and final states of
the animation - with the initial state being the last allocation of the
child prior to the animation start, and the final state the allocation
of the child at the end; for every frame of the Timeline we then queue a
relayout on the layout manager's container, which will result in an
animation.

ClutterLayoutManager is the most likely place to add a generic API for
beginning and ending an animation, as well as the place to provide a
default code path to create the ancillary Timeline and Alpha instances
needed to drive the animation.

A LayoutManager sub-class will need to:

  • call clutter_layout_manager_begin_animation() whenever it should
    animate between two states, for instance: whenever a layout property
    changes value;
  • eventually override begin_animation() and end_animation() in case
    further state needs to be set up, and then chain up to the default
    implementation provided by LayoutManager;
  • if a completely different implementation is required, the layout
    manager sub-class should override begin_animation(), end_animation()
    and get_animation_progress().

Inside the allocate() implementation the sub-class should also
interpolate between the last known allocation of a child and the newly
computed allocation.

15a04a1dd3 layout-manager: Create LayoutMeta on demand
The ClutterLayoutMeta instances should be created on demand, whenever
the layout manager needs them - if the layout manager supports layout
properties.

This removes the requirement to call add_child_meta() and
remove_child_meta() on add and remove respectively; it also simplifies
the implementation of LayoutManager sub-classes since we can add
fallback code in the base abstract class.

Eventually, this will also lead to an easier to implement ClutterScript
parser for layout properties.

With the new scheme, the ClutterLayoutMeta instance is created whenever
the layout manager tries to access it; if there isn't an instance
already attached to the container's child, one is created -- assuming
that the LayoutManager sub-class has overridden the
get_child_meta_type() virtual function and it's returning a valid GType.

We can also provide a default implementation for create_child_meta(),
by getting the GType and instantiating a ClutterLayoutMeta with all the
fields already set. If the layout manager requires more work then it can
obviously override the default implementation (and even chain up to it).

The ClutterBox actor has been updated, as well as the ClutterBoxLayout
layout manager, to take advantage of the changes of LayoutManager.

c3368c0d15 layout: Add layout properties introspection
In order to know if a layout property exists and retrieve its
description in form of a GParamSpec, we need a wrapper API inside
ClutterLayoutManager. This allows introspecting a LayoutManager
sub-class and eventually serialize and deserialize it.

e6dff59b27 layout: Add LayoutManager::get_child_meta_type()

virtual function that returns the GType of the LayoutMeta used.

9117ee2056 [layout] Allow taking a back pointer to the Container
The LayoutManager implementation might opt to take a back pointer
to the Container that is using the layout instance; this allows
direct access to the container itself from within the implementation.

a2086f1178 [layout] Add LayoutMeta
Instead of overloading ClutterChildMeta with both container and layout
metadata and delegate to every LayoutManager implementation to keep a
backpointer to the layout manager instance, we can simply subclass
ChildMeta into LayoutMeta and presto! everything works out pretty well
for everyone.

7051fe275d [layout] Bind ChildMeta to LayoutManager
The ChildMeta object is a storage for child-container properties,
that is properties that exist only when an actor is inside a specific
container. The LayoutManager delegate class should also have
layout-specific properties -- so, for this job, we can "recycle"
ChildMeta as the storage.

d096a3c791 [layout] Add LayoutManager::layout-changed signal
If a sub-class of LayoutManager wishes to implement a parametrized
layout policy it also needs a way to notify the container using the
layout manager that the layout has changed. We cannot do it directly
and automatically from the LayoutManager because a) it has no back
link to the actor that it is using it and b) it can be attached to
multiple actors.

This is a job for <cue raising dramatic music> signals!

By adding ClutterLayoutManager::layout-changed (and its relative
emitted function) we can notify actors using the layout manager that
the layout parameters have been changed, and thus they should queue
a relayout.

141a155690 [layout] Make LayoutManager a floating object
A layout manager instance makes only sense if it's owned by a
container. For this reason, it should have a floating reference
instead of a full reference on construction; this allows constructing
Boxes like:

  box = clutter_box_new (clutter_fixed_layout_new ());

without leaking the layout manager instance.

d6183e95e5 [layout] Add initial implementation of LayoutManager
The LayoutManager class is an abstract proxy for the size requesition
and size allocation process in ClutterActor.

A ClutterLayoutManager sub-class must implement get_preferred_width(),
get_preferred_height() and allocate(); a ClutterContainer using the
LayoutManager API will then proxy the corresponding Actor virtual
functions to the LayoutManager instance. This allows having a generic
"blank" ClutterActor sub-class, implementing the ClutterContainer
interface, which leaves only the layout management implementation to
the application developers.
