For a long time now the GLES driver for Cogl has supported a fallback
scanline rasterizer for filling paths when no stencil buffer is available,
but now that we build the same cogl-primitives code for GL and GLES I
thought it may sometimes be useful for debugging to force Cogl to use the
scanline rasterizer instead of the current stencil buffer approach.
These files were practically identical, except the gles code had additional
support for filling paths without a stencil buffer. All the driver code has
now been moved into cogl/cogl-primitives.c
It's useful when initialzing offscreen draw buffers to be able to ask
Cogl to create a texture of a given size and with the default internal
pixel format.
Before we call glViewport we need to convert Cogl viewport coordinates
(where the origin is defined to be top left) to OpenGL coordinates
(where the origin is defined to be bottom left)
We weren't considering that offscreen rendering is always upside down
and in this case Cogl coordinates == OpenGL coordinates.
Firstly this now uses the draw buffer height not the viewport height
when we need to perform a y = height - y conversion, since (as the
name suggests) we are dealing with window coordinates not viewport
coordinates.
Secondly this skips any conversion when the current draw buffer is an
offscreen draw buffer since offscreen rendering is always forced to be
upside down and in this case Cogl window coordinates == GL window
coordinates.
This new API takes advantage of the recently imported Mesa code to support
inverse matrix calculation. The matrix code keeps track (via internal
flags) of the transformations a matrix represents so that it can select an
optimized inversion function.
Note: although other aspects of the Cogl matrix API have followed a similar
style to Cairo's matrix API we haven't added a cogl_matrix_invert API
because the inverse of a CoglMatrix is actually cached as part of the
CoglMatrix structure meaning a destructive API like cogl_matrix_invert
doesn't let users take advantage of this caching design.
This adds a COGL_DEBUG=matrices debug option that can be used to trace all
matrix manipulation done using the Cogl API. This can be handy when you
break something in such a way that a trace is still comparable with a
previous working version since you can simply diff a log of the broken
version vs the working version to home in on the bug.
This pulls in code from Mesa to improve our matrix manipulation support. It
includes support for calculating the inverse of matrices based on top of a
matrix categorizing system that allows optimizing certain matrix types.
(the main thing we were after) but also adds some optimisations for
rotations.
Changes compared to the original code from Mesa:
- Coding style is consistent with the rest of Cogl
- Instead of allocating matrix->m and matrix->inv using malloc, our public
CoglMatrix typedef is large enough to directly contain the matrix, its
inverse, a type and a set of flags.
- Instead of having a _math_matrix_analyse which updates the type, flags and
inverse, we have _math_matrix_update_inverse which essentially does the
same thing (internally making use of _math_matrix_update_type_and_flags())
but with additional guards in place to bail out when the inverse matrix is
still valid.
- When initializing a matrix with the identity matrix we don't immediately
initialize the inverse matrix; rather we just set the dirty flag for the
inverse (since it's likely the user won't request the inverse of the
identity matrix)
Because Cogl defines the origin for texture as top left and offscreen draw
buffers can be used to render to textures, we (internally) force all
offscreen rendering to be upside down. (because OpenGL defines the origin
to be bottom left)
By forcing the users scene to be rendered upside down though we also reverse
the winding order of all the drawn triangles which may interfere with the
users use of backface culling. This patch ensures that we reverse the
winding order for a front face (if culling is in use) while rendering
offscreen so we don't conflict with the users back face culling.
Technically this change shouldn't make a difference since we are
calling glReadPixels with GL_RGBA GL_UNSIGNED_BYTE which is a 4
byte format and it should always result in the same value according
to how OpenGL calculates the location of sequential rows.
i.e. k = a/s * ceil(snl/a) where:
a = alignment
s = component size (1)
n = number of components per pixel (4)
l = number of pixels in a row
gives:
k = 4/1 * ceil(4l/4) and k = 1/1 * ceil(4l/1) which are equivalent
I'm changing it because I've seen i915 driver code that bails out of
hardware accelerated paths if the alignment isn't 1, and because
conceptually we have no alignment constraints here so even if the current
value has no effect, when we start reading back other formats it may upset
things.
We were previously calling cogl_flush() after setting up the glPixelStore
state for calling glReadPixels, but flushing the journal could itself
change the glPixelStore state.
Since offscreen rendering is forced to be upside down we don't need to do
any conversion of the users coordinates to go from Cogl window coordinates
to OpenGL window coordinates.
Since we do all offscreen rendering upside down (so that we can have the
origin for texture coordinates be the top left of textures for the cases
where offscreen draw buffers are bound to textures) we don't need to flip
data read back from an offscreen framebuffer before we we return it to the
user.
I was originally expecting the code not to handle offset viewports or
viewports with a different size to the framebuffer, but it turns out the
code worked fine. In the process though I think I made the code slightly
more readable.
cogl_viewport only accepted a viewport width and height, but there are times
when it's also desireable to have a viewport offset so that a scene can be
translated after projection but before hitting the framebuffer.
Because Cogl defines the origin of viewport and window coordinates to be
top-left it always needs to know the size of the current window so that Cogl
window/viewport coordinates can be transformed into OpenGL coordinates.
This also fixes cogl_read_pixels to use the current draw buffer height
instead of the viewport height to determine the OpenGL y coordinate to use
for glReadPixels.
First a few notes about Cogl coordinate systems:
- Cogl defines the window origin, viewport origin and texture coordinates
origin to be top left unlike OpenGL which defines them as bottom left.
- Cogl defines the modelview and projection identity matrices in exactly the
same way as OpenGL.
- I.e. we believe that for 2D centric constructs: windows/framebuffers,
viewports and textures developers are more used to dealing with a top left
origin, but when modeling objects in 3D; an origin at the center with y
going up is quite natural.
The way Cogl handles textures is by uploading data upside down in OpenGL
terms so that bottom left becomes top left. (Note: This also has the
benefit that we don't need to flip the data we get from image decoding
libraries since they typically also consider top left to be the image
origin.)
The viewport and window coords are mostly handled with various y =
height - y tweaks before we pass y coordinates to OpenGL.
Generally speaking though the handling of coordinate spaces in Cogl is a bit
fragile. I guess partly because none of it was design to be, it just
evolved from how Clutter defines its coordinates without much consideration
or testing. I hope to improve this over a number of commits; starting here.
This commit deals with the fact that offscreen draw buffers may be bound to
textures but we don't "upload" the texture data upside down, and so if you
texture from an offscreen draw buffer you need to manually flip the texture
coordinates to get it the right way around. We now force offscreen
rendering to be flipped upside down by tweaking the projection matrix right
before we submit it to OpenGL to scale y by -1. The tweak is entirely
hidden from the user such that if you call cogl_get_projection you will not
see this scale.
We were ignoring the possibility that the current modelview matrix may flip
the incoming rectangle in which case we didn't calculate a valid scissor
rectangle for clipping.
This fixes: http://bugzilla.o-hand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1809
(Clipping doesn't work within an FBO)
Cogl's support for offscreen rendering was originally written just to support
the clutter_texture_new_from_actor API and due to lack of documentation and
several confusing - non orthogonal - side effects of using the API it wasn't
really possible to use directly.
This commit does a number of things:
- It removes {gl,gles}/cogl-fbo.{c,h} and adds shared cogl-draw-buffer.{c,h}
files instead which should be easier to maintain.
- internally CoglFbo objects are now called CoglDrawBuffers. A
CoglDrawBuffer is an abstract base class that is inherited from to
implement CoglOnscreen and CoglOffscreen draw buffers. CoglOffscreen draw
buffers will initially be used to support the
cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture API, and CoglOnscreen draw buffers will
start to be used internally to represent windows as we aim to migrate some
of Clutter's backend code to Cogl.
- It makes draw buffer objects the owners of the following state:
- viewport
- projection matrix stack
- modelview matrix stack
- clip state
(This means when you switch between draw buffers you will automatically be
switching to their associated viewport, matrix and clip state)
Aside from hopefully making cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture be more useful
short term by having simpler and well defined semantics for
cogl_set_draw_buffer, as mentioned above this is the first step for a couple
of other things:
- Its a step toward moving ownership for windows down from Clutter backends
into Cogl, by (internally at least) introducing the CoglOnscreen draw
buffer. Note: the plan is that cogl_set_draw_buffer will accept on or
offscreen draw buffer handles, and the "target" argument will become
redundant since we will instead query the type of the given draw buffer
handle.
- Because we have a common type for on and offscreen framebuffers we can
provide a unified API for framebuffer management. Things like:
- blitting between buffers
- managing ancillary buffers (e.g. attaching depth and stencil buffers)
- size requisition
- clearing
Over time the two cogl-fbo.c files have needlessly diverged as bug fixes or
cleanups went into one version but not the other. This tries to bring them
back in line with each other. It should actually be simple enough to move
cogl-fbo.c to be a common file, and simply not build it for GLES 1.1, so
maybe I'll follow up with such a patch soon.
The comment just said: "Some implementation require a clear before drawing
to an fbo. Luckily it is affected by scissor test." and did a scissored
clear, which is clearly a driver bug workaround, but for what driver? The
fact that it was copied into the gles backend (or vica versa is also
suspicious since it seems unlikely that the workaround is necessary for both
backends.)
We can easily restore the workaround with a better comment if this problem
really still exists on current drivers, but for now I'd rather minimize
hand-wavey workaround code that can't be tested.
Otherwise you can't use the alpha channel of the vertex colors unless
the material has a texture with alpha or the material's color has
alpha less than 255.
Some changes to make COGL pass distcheck with Automake 1.11 and
anal-retentiveness turned up to 11.
The "major" change is the flattening of the winsys/ part of COGL,
which is built directly inside libclutter-cogl.la instead of an
intermediate libclutter-cogl-winsys.la object.
Ideally, the whole COGL should be flattened out using a
quasi-non-recursive Automake layout; unfortunately, the driver/
sub-section ships with identical targets and Automake cannot
distinguish GL and GLES objects.
Since we no longer depend on the GL matrix API in Cogl we can remove a lot
of wrapper code from the GLES 2 backend. This is particularly nice given
that there was no code shared between the cogl-matrix-stack API and gles2
wrappers so we had a lot of duplicated logic.
The indirection through this API isn't necessary since we no longer
arbitrate between the OpenGL matrix API and Cogl's client side API. Also it
doesn't help to maintain an OpenGL style matrix mode API for internal use
since it's awkward to keep restoring the MODELVIEW mode and easy enough to
directly work with the matrix stacks of interest.
This replaces use of the _cogl_current_matrix API with direct use of the
_cogl_matrix_stack API. All the unused cogl_current_matrix API is removed
and the matrix utility code left in cogl-current-matrix.c was moved to
cogl.c.
This cache of the gl matrix mode lets us avoid repeat calls to glMatrixMode
in _cogl_matrix_stack_flush_to_gl when we have lots of sequential modelview
matrix modifications.
This goes a bit further than the previous patch, and as a special case
we now simply represent identity matrices using a boolean, and only
lazily initialize them when they need to be modified.
The journal always uses an identity matrix since it uses software
transformation. Currently it manually uses glLoadMatrix since previous
experimentation showed that the cogl-matrix-stack gave bad performance, but
it would be nice to fix performance so we only have to care about one path
for loading matrices.
For the common case where we do:
cogl_matrix_stack_push()
cogl_matrix_stack_load_identity()
we were effectively initializing the matrix 3 times. Once due to use of
g_slice_new0, then we had a cogl_matrix_init_identity in
_cogl_matrix_state_new for good measure, and then finally in
cogl_matrix_stack_load_identity we did another cogl_matrix_init_identity.
We don't use g_slice_new0 anymore, _cogl_matrix_state_new is documented as
not initializing the matrix (instead _cogl_matrix_stack_top_mutable now
takes a boolean to choose if new stack entries should be initialised) and so
we now only initialize once in cogl_matrix_stack_load_identity.
This relates back to an earlier commitment to stop using the OpenGL matrix
API which is considered deprecated. (ref 54159f5a1d)
The new texture matrix stacks are hung from a list of (internal only)
CoglTextureUnit structures which the CoglMaterial code internally references
via _cogl_get_texure_unit ().
So we would be left with only the cogl-matrix-stack code being responsible
for glMatrixMode, glLoadMatrix and glLoadIdentity this commit updates the
journal code so it now uses the matrix-stack API instead of GL directly.
The Journal can be considered a standalone component, so even though
it's currently only used to log quads, it seems better to split it
out into its own file.
When we implement atlas textures we will probably want to use the spans API
to handle texture repeating so it doesn't make sense to leave the code in
cogl-texture-2d-sliced.c. Since it's a standalone set of data structures
and algorithms it also seems reasonable to split out from cogl-texture.
cogl-texture-2d-sliced provides an implementation of CoglTexture and this
seperation lays the foundation for potentially supporting atlas textures,
pixmap textures (as in GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap) and fast-path
GL_TEXTURE_{1D,2D,3D,RECTANGLE} textures in a maintainable fashion.
cogl-primitives.c was previously digging right into CoglTextures so it could
manually iterate the texture slices for texturing quads and polygons and
because we were missing some state getters we were lazily just poking into
the structures directly.
This adds some extra state getter functions, and adds a higher level
_cogl_texture_foreach_slice () API that hopefully simplifies the way in
which sliced textures may be used to render primitives. This lets you
specify a rectangle in "virtual" texture coords and it will call a given
callback for each slice that intersects that rectangle giving the virtual
coords of the current slice and corresponding "real" texture coordinates for
the underlying gl texture.
At the same time a noteable bug in how we previously iterated sliced
textures was fixed, whereby we weren't correctly handling inverted texture
coordinates. E.g. with the previous code if you supplied texture coords of
tx1=100,ty1=0,tx2=0,ty2=100 (inverted along y axis) that would result in a
back-facing quad, which could be discarded if using back-face culling.
The descriptions for gl_handle and gl_target were inverted.
Thanks to Young-Ho Cha for spotting that.

As part of an incremental process to have Cogl be a standalone project we
want to re-consider how we organise the Cogl source code.
Currently this is the structure I'm aiming for:
cogl/
cogl/
<put common source here>
winsys/
cogl-glx.c
cogl-wgl.c
driver/
gl/
gles/
os/ ?
utils/
cogl-fixed
cogl-matrix-stack?
cogl-journal?
cogl-primitives?
pango/
The new winsys component is a starting point for migrating window system
code (i.e. x11,glx,wgl,osx,egl etc) from Clutter to Cogl.
The utils/ and pango/ directories aren't added by this commit, but they are
noted because I plan to add them soon.
Overview of the planned structure:
* The winsys/ API is the API that binds OpenGL to a specific window system,
be that X11 or win32 etc. Example are glx, wgl and egl. Much of the logic
under clutter/{glx,osx,win32 etc} should migrate here.
* Note there is also the idea of a winsys-base that may represent a window
system for which there are multiple winsys APIs. An example of this is
x11, since glx and egl may both be used with x11. (currently only Clutter
has the idea of a winsys-base)
* The driver/ represents a specific varient of OpenGL. Currently we have "gl"
representing OpenGL 1.4-2.1 (mostly fixed function) and "gles" representing
GLES 1.1 (fixed funciton) and 2.0 (fully shader based)
* Everything under cogl/ should fundamentally be supporting access to the
GPU. Essentially Cogl's most basic requirement is to provide a nice GPU
Graphics API and drawing a line between this and the utility functionality
we add to support Clutter should help keep this lean and maintainable.
* Code under utils/ as suggested builds on cogl/ adding more convenient
APIs or mechanism to optimize special cases. Broadly speaking you can
compare cogl/ to OpenGL and utils/ to GLU.
* clutter/pango will be moved to clutter/cogl/pango
How some of the internal configure.ac/pkg-config terminology has changed:
backendextra -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE # e.g. "x11"
backendextralib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE_LIB # e.g. "x11/libclutter-x11.la"
clutterbackend -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS # e.g. "glx"
CLUTTER_FLAVOUR -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS
clutterbackendlib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_LIB
CLUTTER_COGL -> COGL_DRIVER # e.g. "gl"
Note: The CLUTTER_FLAVOUR and CLUTTER_COGL defines are kept for apps
As the first thing to take advantage of the new winsys component in Cogl;
cogl_get_proc_address() has been moved from cogl/{gl,gles}/cogl.c into
cogl/common/cogl.c and this common implementation first trys
_cogl_winsys_get_proc_address() but if that fails then it falls back to
gmodule.
