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
The CoglTexture constructors expose the "max-waste" argument for
controlling the maximum amount of wasted areas for slicing or,
if set to -1, disables slicing.
Slicing is really relevant only for large images that are never
repeated, so it's a useful feature only in controlled use cases.
Specifying the amount of wasted area is, on the other hand, just
a way to mess up this feature; 99% the times, you either pull this
number out of thin air, hoping it's right, or you try to do the
right thing and you choose the wrong number anyway.
Instead, we can use the CoglTextureFlags to control whether the
texture should not be sliced (useful for Clutter-GST and for the
texture-from-pixmap actors) and provide a reasonable value for
enabling the slicing ourself. At some point, we might even
provide a way to change the default at compile time or at run time,
for particular platforms.
Since max_waste is gone, the :tile-waste property of ClutterTexture
becomes read-only, and it proxies the cogl_texture_get_max_waste()
function.
Inside Clutter, the only cases where the max_waste argument was
not set to -1 are in the Pango glyph cache (which is a POT texture
anyway) and inside the test cases where we want to force slicing;
for the latter we can create larger textures that will be bigger than
the threshold we set.

Before any rendering is done by Cogl it needs to ensure the clip stack
is set up correctly by calling cogl_clip_ensure. This was not being
done for the Cogl vertex buffer so it would still use the clip from
the previous render.
Backface culling is enabled as part of cogl_enable so the different
rendering functions in Cogl need to explicitly opt-in to have backface
culling enabled. Cogl vertex buffers should allow backface culling so
they should check whether it is enabled and then set the appropriate
cogl_enable flag.
Currently, COGL depends on defining debug symbols by manually
modifying the source code. When it's done, it will forcefully
print stuff to the console.
Since COGL has also a pretty, runtime selectable debugging API
we might as well switch everything to it.
In order for this to happen, configure needs a new:
--enable-cogl-debug
command line switch; this will enable COGL debugging, the
CoglHandle debugging and will also turn on the error checking
for each GL operation.
The default setting for the COGL debug defines is off, since
it slows down the GL operations; enabling it for a particular
debug build is trivial, though.
COGL has a debug message system like Clutter's own. In parallel,
it also uses a coupld of #defines. Spread around there are also
calls to printf() instead to the more correct g_log* wrappers.
This commit tries to unify and clean up the macros and the
debug message handling inside COGL to be more consistent.
The code for the conversion of the GL error enumeration code
into a string is not following the code style and conventions
we follow in Clutter and COGL.
The GE() macro is also using fprintf(stderr) directly instead
of using g_warning() -- which is redirectable to an alternative
logging system using the g_log* API.
We use math routines inside Cogl, so it's correct to have it in
the LIBADD line. In normal usage something else was pulling in
-lm, but the introspection is relying on linking against the
convenience library.

Previously clipping could only be specified in object coordinates, now
rectangles can also be pushed in window coordinates.
Internally rectangles pushed this way are intersected and then clipped using
scissoring. We also transparently try to convert rectangles pushed in
object coordinates into window coordinates as we anticipate the scissoring
path will be faster then the clip planes and undoubtably it will be faster
than using the stencil buffer.
This is simply a wrapper around cogl_color_set_from_4f and
cogl_material_set_color. We already had a prototype for this, it was
an oversight that it wasn't already implemented.
There were several functions I believe no one is currently using that were
only implemented in the GL backend (cogl_offscreen_blit_region and
cogl_offscreen_blit) that have simply been removed so we have a chance to
think about design later with a real use case.
There was one nonsense function (cogl_offscreen_new_multisample) that
sounded exciting but in all cases it just returned COGL_INVALID_HANDLE
(though at least for GL it checked for multisampling support first!?)
it has also been removed.
The MASK draw buffer type has been removed. If we want to expose color
masking later then I think it at least would be nicer to have the mask be a
property that can be set on any draw buffer.
The cogl_draw_buffer and cogl_{push,pop}_draw_buffer function prototypes
have been moved up into cogl.h since they are for managing global Cogl state
and not for modifying or creating the actual offscreen buffers.
This also documents the API so for example desiphering the semantics of
cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture() should be a bit easier now.
It is valid in some situations to have a material layer with an invalid texture
handle (e.g. if you setup a texture combine mode before setting the texture)
and so _cogl_material_layer_free needs to check for a valid handle before
attempting to unref it.
Adds missing notices, and ensures all the notices are consistent. The Cogl
blurb also now reads:
* Cogl
*
* An object oriented GL/GLES Abstraction/Utility Layer
Redundant clearing of depth and stencil buffers every render can be very
expensive, so cogl now gives control over which auxiliary buffers are
cleared.
Note: For now clutter continues to clear the color, depth and stencil buffer
each paint.
In unifying the {gl,gles}/cogl.c code recently, moving most of the code into
common/cogl.c the gmodule.h include was also mistakenly moved.
Thanks to Felix Rabe for reporting this issue.
Note: I haven't tested this fix myself, as I'm not set up to be able to
build for OS X
Buffer objects aren't currently available for glx indirect contexts, so we
now have a fallback that simply allocates fake client side vbos to store the
attributes.
This makes the #if 0'd debug code that was in _cogl_journal_flush_quad_batch
- which we have repeatedly found usefull for debugging various geometry
issues in Clutter apps - a runtime debug option.
The outline colors rotate in order from red to green to blue which can also
help confirm the order that your geometry really drawn.
The outlines are not affected by the current material state, so if you e.g.
have a blending bug where geometry mysteriously disappears this can confirm
if the underlying rectangles are actually being emitted but blending is
causing them to be invisible.
The debug macros for tracking reference counting of CoglHandles had
some typos introduced in c3d9f0 which meant it failed to compile when
COGL_DEBUG is 1.
The cogl_is_* functions were showing up quite high on profiles due to
iterating through arrays of cogl handles.
This does away with all the handle arrays and implements a simple struct
inheritance scheme. All cogl objects now add a CoglHandleObject _parent;
member to their main structures. The base object includes 2 members a.t.m; a
ref_count, and a klass pointer. The klass in turn gives you a type and
virtual function for freeing objects of that type.
Each handle type has a _cogl_##handle_type##_get_type () function
automatically defined which returns a GQuark of the handle type, so now
implementing the cogl_is_* funcs is just a case of comparing with
obj->klass->type.
Another outcome of the re-work is that cogl_handle_{ref,unref} are also much
more efficient, and no longer need extending for each handle type added to
cogl. The cogl_##handle_type##_{ref,unref} functions are now deprecated and
are no longer used internally to Clutter or Cogl. Potentially we can remove
them completely before 1.0.
A layer object may be instantiated when setting a combine mode, but before a
texture is associated. (e.g. this is done by the pango renderer) if this is the
case we shouldn't call cogl_texture_get_format() with an invalid cogl handle.
This patch skips over layers without a texture handle when determining if any
textures have an alpha channel.
None of this code directly related to implementing CoglTextures, and the
code was needlessly duplicated between the GL and GLES backends. This moves
the cogl_rectangle* and cogl_polygon* code into common/cogl-primitives.c
makes which makes lot of sense since the two copies keep needlessly
diverging introducing or fixing bugs in one but not the other. For instance
I came accross one such bug regarding the enabling of texture units when
unifying the code.
For convenience it is now valid to avoid a seperate call to
cogl_vertex_buffer_submit() and assume that the _draw() calls will do this
for you (though of course if you do this you still need to ensure the
attribute pointers remain valid until your draw call.)
Adds glFrustum wrappers (GLES only accepts floats not doubles, and GLES2
needs to use our internal cogl_wrap_glFrustumf)
Adds GL_TEXTURE_MATRIX getter code in cogl_wrap_glGetFloatv
Adds a GL_TEXTURE_MATRIX define for GLES2
Its not intended that users should use these with any other matrix mode, and
internally we now have the _cogl_current_matrix API if we need to play with
other modes.
If we later add internal flags to CoglMatrix then this code wouldn't
initialize those flags. The ways it's now done adds a redundant copy, but
if that turns out to be something worth optimizing we can look again at
using a cast but adding another way for initializing internal flags.
This is useful because sometimes we need to get the current matrix, which
is too expensive when indirect rendering.
In addition, this virtualization makes it easier to clean up the API in
the future.
The type machinery for CoglFixed should be implemented by COGL
itself, now that COGL exports the GType of its types.
This allows moving most of what ClutterFixed did directly to
CoglFixed where it belongs.
The CoglPango code falls under the COGL "jurisdiction"; this means
that it cannot include Clutter headers unless strictly necessary.
The CoglPangoRenderer code was using the CLUTTER_NOTE() macro. Now
that COGL has it's own COGL_NOTE() similar macro, CoglPango should
use that and avoid including clutter-debug.h (which pulls in
clutter-private.h which in turn pulls in clutter-actor.h).
A new flag, COGL_DEBUG_PANGO, has been added to the COGL debug
flags.
In the future if we want to annotate matrices with internal flags, and add
caching of the inverse matrix then we need to ensure that all matrix
modifications are done by cogl_matrix API so we'd know when to dirty the
cache or update the flags.
This just adds documentation to that effect, and assuming the most likley
case where someone would try and directly write to matrix members would
probably be to load a constant matrix other than the identity matrix; I
renamed cogl_matrix_init_from_gl_matrix to cogl_matrix_init_from_array to
make it seem more general purpose.
Bug 1473 - CoglPixelFormat enum data must be declared static
When registering an enumeration GType, the GEnumValue or GFlagsValue

fault when calling the function again.

Clutter is able to show debug messages written using the CLUTTER_NOTE()
macro at runtime, either by using an environment variable:
CLUTTER_DEBUG=...
or by using a command line switch:
--clutter-debug=...
--clutter-no-debug=...
Both are parsed during the initialization process by using the
GOption API.
COGL would benefit from having the same support.
In order to do this, we need a cogl_get_option_group() function in
COGL that sets up a GOptionGroup for COGL and adds a pre-parse hook
that will check the COGL_DEBUG environment variable. The OptionGroup
will also install two command line switches:
--cogl-debug
--cogl-no-debug
With the same semantics of the Clutter ones.
During Clutter initialization, the COGL option group will be attached
to the GOptionContext used to parse the command line options passed
to a Clutter application.
Every debug message written using:
COGL_NOTE (SECTION, "message format", arguments);
Will then be printed only if SECTION was enabled at runtime.
This whole machinery, like the equivalent one in Clutter, depends on
a compile time switch, COGL_ENABLE_DEBUG, which is enabled at the same
time as CLUTTER_ENABLE_DEBUG. Having two different symbols allows
greater granularity.
An assert to verify there was no error when generating a buffer object
for the vertex buffer API was being hit when running the GLES1 conformance
tests.
Bug #1457 - Creating a new texture messes up the cogl material state
cache; reported by Neil Roberts
We still don't have caching of bound texture state so we always have to
re-bind the texture when flushing the GL state of any material layers.
Bug #1460 - Handling of flags in cogl_material_set_color
Cogl automatically enables/disables blending based on whether the source color
has an alhpa < 1.0, or if any textures with an alpha component are in use, but
it wasn't doing it quite right.
At the same time I removed some of the dirty flags which on second thought
are nothing more than micro-optimsations that only helped clutter the code.
thanks to Owen Taylor for reporting the bug
Since the CoglMatrix type was added for supporting texture matrices recently
it made sense to be consistent accross the Cogl API and use the Cogl type
over the GL style GLfloat m[16] arrays.
COGL types should be registered inside the GType system, for
bindings and type checking inside properties and signals.
CoglHandle is a boxed type with a ref+unref semantics; slightly evil
from a bindings perspective (we cannot associate custom data to it),
but better than nothing.
The rest of the exposed types are enumerations or bitmasks.
