Currently, the clock source spins a redraw every time there is at
least a timeline running. If the timelines were not advanced in
the previous frame, though, because their interval is larger than
the vblanking interval then this will lead to excessive redraws of
the scenegraph even if nothing has changed.
To avoid this a simple guard should be set by the MasterClock::advance
method in case no timeline was effectively advanced, and checked
before dispatching the stage redraws.
When creating a Cogl texture from a Cogl bitmap it would steal the
data by setting the bitmap_owner flag and clearing the data pointer
from the bitmap. The data would be freed by the time the
new_from_bitmap is finished. There is no reason to do this because the
data will be freed when the Cogl bitmap is unref'd and it is confusing
not to be able to reuse the bitmap for creating multiple textures.
clutter_color_from_string() only supported the "#rrggbbaa" format with
alpha channel, this patch adds support for "#rgba".
Colors in "#rrggbb" format were parsed manually, this is now left to
the pango color parsing fallback, since that's handling it just fine.

Clutter copies the gtk-doc from the usual gtk+ template, and
has a version.xml.in containing only:
@VERSION@
Without a newline at the end. Unfortunately, it appears that
autoconf has started adding a newline to the generated version.xml
which then is used as the payload for the "version" XML entity.
Instead of using a secondary file we can make configure generate
the whole clutter-docs.xml and cogl-docs.xml files from a template;
this way we also get the ability to substitute more autoconf variables
into the documentation -- if needs be.
The cogl_shader_get_info_log() function is very inconvenient for
language bindings and for regular use, as it requires a static
buffer to be filled -- basically just providing a wrapper around
glGetInfoLogARB().
Since COGL aims to be a more convenient API than raw GL we should
just make cogl_shader_get_info_log() return an allocated string
with the GLSL compiler log.
Instead of using GL_TRIANGLES and uploading the indices every time, it
now uses GL_QUADS instead on OpenGL. Under GLES it still uses indices
but it uses the new cogl_vertex_buffer_indices_get_for_quads function
to avoid uploading the vertices every time.
This requires the _cogl_vertex_buffer_indices_pointer_from_handle
function to be exposed privately to the rest of Cogl.
The static_indices array has been removed from the Cogl context.
The GIR file for Clutter still contains symbols from COGL, even
though we provide a Cogl GIR as well. The Clutter GIR should
depend on the Cogl GIR instead.
All the underlying implementation and the public entry points have
been switched to floats; the only missing bits are the Actor properties
that deal with positioning and sizing.
This usually means a major pain when dealing with GValues and varargs
functions. While GValue will warn you when dealing with the wrong
conversions, varags will simply die an horrible (and hard to debug)
death via segfault. Nothing much to do here, except warn people in the
release notes and hope for the best.
The documentation for ClutterTexture's set_from_rgb_data() and
set_from_yuv_data() says:
Note: This function is likely to change in future versions.
This is not true, since they'll remain for the whole 1.x API cycle.
Now that CoglVertexBuffers support indices we can use them with GLES
to avoid duplicating vertices. Regular GL still uses GL_QUADS because
it is shown to still have a performance benefit over indices with the
Intel drivers.
This function can be used as an efficient way of drawing groups of
quads without using GL_QUADS. It generates a VBO containing the
indices needed to render using pairs of GL_TRIANGLES. The VBO is
globally cached so that it only needs to be uploaded whenever more
indices are requested than ever before.
The allocate_available_size() method is a convenience method in
the same spirit as allocate_preferred_size(). While the latter
will allocate the preferred size of an actor regardless of the
available size provided by the actor's parent -- and thus it's
suitable for simple fixed layout managers like ClutterGroup -- the
former will take into account the available size provided by the
parent and never allocate more than that; it is, thus, suitable
for simple fluid layout managers.
The cogl-enum-types.h file is created by glib-mkenums under
/clutter/cogl/common, and then copied in /clutter/cogl in order
to make the inclusion of that file work inside cogl.h.
Since we're copying it in a different location, the Makefile
for that location has to clean up the copy.
Notifications should be fired off from both the internal timeline and
the wrapping animation here, so notifiers should be frozen around these
property setters.

Just a couple of final cleanups after the reimplementation of the
Animation model.
i) _set_mode does not need to set the timeline on the alpha
ii) freeze notifications around the setting of a new alpha

The "started" signal is sent first after the timeline has been set to the
'running' state. For this reason, checking if the clock has any running
timelines running will always return true in the "started" signal handler:
the timeline that sent the signal is running.
What needs to be checked in the signal handler is if there are any
timelines running other than the one that emitted the ::started signal,
which we know is running anyway.
This prevents frames from being lost at the beginning of an animation when
a timeline is started after a quiescent period.

We avoid rebuilding cogl-enum-types.h and cogl-enum-types.c by
using a "guard" -- a stamp file that will block Makefile. Since
we need cogl-enum-types.h into /clutter/cogl as well for the
cogl.h include to work, if we copy the cogl-enum-types.h
unconditionally it will cause a rebuild of the whole COGL; which
will cause a full rebuild.
To solve this, we can copy the header file when generating it
under the stamp file.
The libclutter-cogl internal object should be the only dependency
for Clutter, since we are already copying it inside clutter/cogl
for the introspection scanner. For this reason, the backend-specific,
real internal object should be built with the backend encoded into
the file name, like libclutter-common. This makes the build output
a little bit more clear: instead of having two:
LINK libclutter-cogl-common.la
...
LINK libclutter-cogl.la
LINK libclutter-cogl.la
We'll have:
LINK libclutter-cogl-common.la
...
LINK libclutter-cogl-gl.la
LINK libclutter-cogl.la
Same applies for the GLES backend.
Just like we do with GObject types and G_DEFINE_TYPE, we should
use the g_once_init_enter/g_once_init_leave mechanism to make the
GType registration of enumeration types thread safe.
If it doesn't queue a redraw and allow the backend to clear and swap
the buffers then the results will be skewed because it is not
predictable when the driver will actually render the scene.
The setup_viewport() function should only be used by Clutter and
not by application code.
It can be emulated by changing the Stage size and perspective and
requeueing a redraw after calling clutter_stage_ensure_viewport().
The backface culling enabling function was split and renamed, just
like the depth testing one, so we need to add the macro to the
cogl-deprecated.h header.
Previously indices were tightly bound to a particular Cogl vertex buffer
but we would like to be able to share indices so now we have
cogl_vertex_buffer_indices_new () which returns a CoglHandle.
In particular we could like to have a shared set of indices for drawing
lists of quads that can be shared between the pango renderer and the
Cogl journal.
At the moment Cogl doesn't do much batching of quads so most of the time we
are flushing a single quad at a time. This patch simplifies how we submit
those quads to OpenGL by using glDrawArrays with GL_TRIANGLE_FAN mode
instead of sending indexed vertices using GL_TRIANGLES mode.
Note: I hope to follow up soon with changes that improve our batching and
also move the indices into a VBO so they don't need to be re-validated every
time we call glDrawElements.
To assist people porting code from 0.8, the cogl_texture_* functions that
have been replaced now have defines that give some hint as to how they
should be replaced.
cogl_enable_depth_test and cogl_enable_backface_culling have been renamed
and now have corresponding getters, the new functions are:
cogl_set_depth_test_enabled
cogl_get_depth_test_enabled
cogl_set_backface_culling_enabled
cogl_get_backface_culling_enabled
This adds cogl_matrix api for multiplying matrices either by a perspective
or ortho projective transform. The internal matrix stack and current-matrix
APIs also have corresponding support added.
New public API:
cogl_matrix_perspective
cogl_matrix_ortho
cogl_ortho
cogl_set_modelview_matrix
cogl_set_projection_matrix
cogl_create_context is dealt with internally when _cogl_get_default context
is called, and cogl_destroy_context is currently never called.
It might be nicer later to get an object back when creating a context so
Cogl can support multiple contexts, so these functions are being removed
from the API until we get a chance to address context management properly.
For now cogl_destroy_context is still exported as _cogl_destroy_context so
Clutter could at least install a library deinit handler to call it.
Originally cogl_vertex_buffer_add_indices let the user pass in their own unique
ID for the indices; now the Id is generated internally and returned to the
caller.
It's now possible to add arrays of indices to a Cogl vertex buffer and
they will be put into an OpenGL vertex buffer object. Since it's quite
common for index arrays to be static it saves the OpenGL driver from
having to validate them repeatedly.
This changes the cogl_vertex_buffer_draw_elements API: It's no longer
possible to provide a pointer to an index array at draw time. So
cogl_vertex_buffer_draw_elements now takes an indices identifier that
should correspond to an idendifier returned when calling
cogl_vertex_buffer_add_indices ()
This is being removed before we release Clutter 1.0 since the implementation
wasn't complete, and so we assume no one is using this yet. Util we have
someone with a good usecase, we can't pretend to support breaking out into
raw OpenGL.
There were a number of functions intended to support creating of new
primitives using materials, but at this point they aren't used outside of
Cogl so until someone has a usecase and we can get feedback on this
API, it's being removed before we release Clutter 1.0.
This removes the following API:
cogl_material_set_blend_factors
cogl_material_set_layer_combine_function
cogl_material_set_layer_combine_arg_src
cogl_material_set_layer_combine_arg_op
These were rather awkward to use, so since it's expected very few people are
using them at this point and it should be straight forward to switch over
to blend strings, the API is being removed before we release Clutter 1.0.
Setting up layer combine functions and blend modes is very awkward to do
programatically. This adds a parser for string based descriptions which are
more consise and readable.
E.g. a material layer combine function could now be given as:
"RGBA = ADD (TEXTURE[A], PREVIOUS[RGB])"
or
"RGB = REPLACE (PREVIOUS)"
"A = MODULATE (PREVIOUS, TEXTURE)"
The simple syntax and grammar are only designed to expose standard fixed
function hardware, more advanced combining must be done with shaders.
This includes standalone documentation of blend strings covering the aspects
that are common to blending and texture combining, and adds documentation
with examples specific to the new cogl_material_set_blend() and
cogl_material_layer_set_combine() functions.
Note: The hope is to remove the now redundant bits of the material API
before 1.0
After long deliberation, the Animation class handling of the
:mode, :duration and :loop properties, as well as the conditions
for creating the Alpha and Timeline instances, came out as far too
complicated for their own good.
This is a rework of the API/parameters matrix and behaviour:
- :mode accessors will create an Alpha, if needed
- :duration and :loop accessors will create an Alpha and a Timeline
if needed
- :alpha will set or unset the Alpha
- :timeline will set or unset the Timeline
Plus, more documentation on the Animation class itself.
Many thanks to Jonas Bonn <jonas@southpole.se> for the feedback
and the ideas.
