This adds a getter and setter for requesting dithering to be enabled.
Dithering is a hardware dependent technique to increase the visible
color resolution beyond what the underlying hardware supports by playing
tricks with the colors placed into the framebuffer to give the illusion
of other colors. (For example this can be compared to half-toning used
by some news papers to show varying levels of grey even though their may
only be black and white are available).
The results of enabling dithering are platform dependent and may have no
effect.

The pipeline cache is now handled in CoglPipelineCache instead of
directly in the ARBfp fragend. The flags needed to hash a pipeline
should be exactly the same for the ARBfp and GLSL fragends so it's
convenient to share the code. The hash table now stores the actual
pipeline as the value instead of the private data so that the two
fragends can attach their data to it. That way it's possible to use
the same pipeline key with ancestors that are using different
fragends.
The hash table is created with g_hash_table_new_full to set a
destructor for the key and value and there is a destructor for
CoglPipelineCache that gets called when the CoglContext is
destroyed. That way we no longer leak the pipelines and shader state
when the context is desroyed.
The GL or GLES library is now dynamically loaded by the CoglRenderer
so that it can choose between GL, GLES1 and GLES2 at runtime. The
library is loaded by the renderer because it needs to be done before
calling eglInitialize. There is a new environment variable called
COGL_DRIVER to choose between gl, gles1 or gles2.
The #ifdefs for HAVE_COGL_GL, HAVE_COGL_GLES and HAVE_COGL_GLES2 have
been changed so that they don't assume the ifdefs are mutually
exclusive. They haven't been removed entirely so that it's possible to
compile the GLES backends without the the enums from the GL headers.
When using GLX the winsys additionally dynamically loads libGL because
that also contains the GLX API. It can't be linked in directly because
that would probably conflict with the GLES API if the EGL is
selected. When compiling with EGL support the library links directly
to libEGL because it doesn't contain any GL API so it shouldn't have
any conflicts.
When building for WGL or OSX Cogl still directly links against the GL
API so there is a #define in config.h so that Cogl won't try to dlopen
the library.
Cogl-pango previously had a #ifdef to detect when the GL backend is
used so that it can sneakily pass GL_QUADS to
cogl_vertex_buffer_draw. This is now changed so that it queries the
CoglContext for the backend. However to get this to work Cogl now
needs to export the _cogl_context_get_default symbol and cogl-pango
needs some extra -I flags to so that it can include
cogl-context-private.h
The texture driver functions are now accessed through a vtable pointed
to by a struct in the CoglContext so that eventually it will be
possible to compile both the GL and GLES texture drivers into a single
binary and then select between them at runtime.
Since the GL function pointers have move to the root of CoglContext,
the driver specific data for GLES became empty and the GL data had
only one varible which apparently nothing was using. It's therefore
convenient to remove the private driver data to make it easier to have
a build of Cogl which enables both GL and GLES support. If we ever
need driver private data later we might want to use
cogl_object_set_user_data instead.
Instead of storing all of the feature function pointers in the driver
specific data of the CoglContext they are now all stored directly in
CoglContext. There is a single header containing the description of
the functions which gets included by cogl-context.h. There is a single
function in cogl-feature-private.c to check for all of these
functions.
The name of the function pointer variables have been changed from
ctx->drv.pf_glWhatever to just ctx->glWhatever.
The feature flags that get set when an extension is available are now
separated from the table of extensions. This is necessary because
different extensions can mean different things on GLES and GL. For
example, having access to glMapBuffer implies read and write support
on GL but only write support on GLES. The flags are instead set in the
driver specific init function by checking whether the function
pointers were successfully resolved.
_cogl_feature_check has been changed to assume the feature is
supported if any of the listed extensions are available instead of
requiring all of them. This makes it more convenient to specify
alternate names for the extension. Nothing else had previously listed
more than one name for an extension so this shouldn't cause any
problems.
This adds an internal texture_2d constructor that can wrap an EGLImage
as a CoglTexture2D. The plan is to utilize this for texture-from-pixmap
support with EGL as well as creating textures from wayland buffers.
Instead of the stub winsys being a special case set of #ifdef'd code
used when COGL_HAS_FULL_WINSYS wasn't defined, the stub winsys now
implements a CoglWinsysVtable like all other winsys backends (it's just
that everything is a NOP). This way we can get rid of the
COGL_HAS_FULL_WINSYS define and also the stub winsys can be runtime
selected whereas before it was incompatible with all other winsys
backends.
This adds cogl_atlas_texture_* functions to register a callback that
will get invoked whenever any of the CoglAtlas's the textures use get
reorganized. The callback is global and is not tied to any particular
atlas texture.
So that we can dynamically select what winsys backend to use at runtime
we need to have some indirection to how code accesses the winsys instead
of simply calling _cogl_winsys* functions that would collide if we
wanted to compile more than one backend into Cogl.
Previously the mask of available winsys features was stored in a
CoglBitmask. That isn't the ideal type to use for this because it is
intended for a growable array of bits so it can allocate extra memory
if there are more than 31 flags set. For the winsys feature flags the
highest used bit is known at compile time so it makes sense to
allocate a fixed array instead. This is conceptually similar to the
CoglDebugFlags which are stored in an array of integers with macros to
test a bit in the array. This moves the macros used for CoglDebugFlags
to cogl-flags.h and makes them more generic so they can be shared with
CoglContext.
This migrates all the GLX window system code down from the Clutter
backend code into a Cogl winsys. Moving OpenGL window system binding
code down from Clutter into Cogl is the biggest blocker to having Cogl
become a standalone 3D graphics library, so this is an important step in
that direction.
This adds a new experimental function (you need to define
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API to access it) which takes us towards being
able to have a standalone Cogl API. This is really a minor aesthetic
change for now since all the GL context creation code still lives in
Clutter but it's a step forward none the less.
Since our current designs introduce a CoglDisplay object as something
that would be passed to the context constructor this provides a stub
cogl-display.h with CoglDisplay typedef.
_cogl_context_get_default() which Clutter uses to access the Cogl
context has been modified to use cogl_context_new() to initialize
the default context.
There is one rather nasty hack used in this patch which is that the
implementation of cogl_context_new() has to forcibly make the allocated
context become the default context because currently all the code in
Cogl assumes it can access the context using _COGL_GET_CONTEXT including
code used to initialize the context.
