Building the API reference for Cogl 2.0 is fairly confusing: the API
itself is experimental and for internal use only -- though we want
feedback for it.
Let's build the API reference only when Clutter is configured with a
specific configure switch, so that people that wish to give feedback on
the API and its documentation can do it.
So we can keep track of the experimental progress of Cogl 2.0 features
this adds a standalone Cogl 2.0 Reference Manual which doesn't cover
the deprecated 1.x symbols and removes the need for a "Cogl
experimental API" chapter since those sections now make up the main
table of contents.
Since EGA colors are apparently all the rage in other toolkits, Clutter
should not be left out. On top of the usual CGA/EGA palette the static
colors also include the Tango Icon palette, which at least is more
pleasant to the eye.
Static colors are accessed through an enumeration by using
clutter_color_get_static(), or using the short-hand pre-processor
macros.

This exposes the idea of a stack of source materials instead of just
having a single current material. This allows the writing of orthogonal
code that can change the current source material and restore it to its
previous state. It also allows the implementation of new composite
primitives that may want to validate the current source material and
possibly make override changes in a derived material.

This function handles a single windows message. The idea is that it
could be used by clutter-gtk to forward on events from a
GdkEventFilter. The function replaces the old message_translate()
function. That function didn't translate the event anymore anyway and
instead it could generate multiple events so
clutter_win32_handle_event seems like a more appropriate name. The
function returns TRUE or FALSE depending on whether the event was
completely handled instead of setting call_window_proc.
The interpolate() method does what it says on the tin: it interpolates
between two colors using the given factor.
ClutterColor uses it to register a progress function for Intervals.
The internal copy of JSON-GLib was meant to go away right after the 1.0
release, given that JSON-GLib was still young and relatively unknown.
Nowadays, many projects started depending on this little library, and
distributions ship it and keep it up to date.
Keeping a copy of JSON-GLib means keeping it up to date; unfortunately,
this would also imply updating the code not just for the API but for the
internal implementations.
Starting with the 1.2 release, Clutter preferably dependend on the
system copy; with the 1.4 release we stopped falling back automatically.
The 1.6 cycle finally removes the internal copy and requires a copy of
JSON-GLib installed on the target system in order to compile Clutter.
This adds a "Cogl deprecated API" chapter to the Cogl reference manual
so we can group all the documentation for deprecated symbols together
instead of having them clutter up the documentation of symbols we would
rather developers used.
The CoglTexture3D API is only available when defining
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API so it should be listed in the experimental
section of the API reference.
The keysyms defines in clutter-keysyms.h are generated from the X11 key
symbols headers by doing the equivalent of a pass of sed from XK_* to
CLUTTER_*. This might lead to namespace collisions, down the road.
Instead, we should use the CLUTTER_KEY_* namespace.
This commit includes the script, taken from GDK, that parses the X11
key symbols and generates two headers:
- clutter-keysyms.h: the default included header, with CLUTTER_KEY_*
- clutter-keysyms-compat.h: the compatibility header, with CLUTTER_*
The compat.h header file is included if CLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATED is
not defined - essentially deprecating all the old key symbols.
This does not change any ABI and, assuming that an application or
library is not compiling with CLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, the source
compatibility is still guaranteed.
When animating an actor through clutter_actor_animate() and friends we
might want forcibly detach the animation instance from the actor in
order to start a new one - for instance, in response to user
interaction.
Currently, there is no way to do that except in a very convoluted way,
by emitting the ::completed signal and adding a special case in the
signal handlers; this is due to the fact that clutter_actor_animate()
adds more logic than the one added by clutter_animation_set_object(),
so calling set_object(NULL) or unreferencing the animation instance
itself won't be enough.
The right way to approach this is to add a new method to Clutter.Actor
that detaches any eventual Animation currently referencing it.

Intel CE3100 and CE4100 have several planes (framebuffers) and a
hardware blender to blend the planes togeteher to produce the final
image.
clutter_cex100_set_plane() lets you configure which framebuffer clutter
will use for its rendering.
*** This is an API change ***
The create_target() virtual function should return a CoglHandle to a
texture; clutter_offscreen_effect_get_target(), instead, returns a
CoglMaterial to be painted in the implementation of the paint_target()
virtual function.
Instead of equating textures with materials, and confusing the user of
the API, we should mark the difference more prominently.
First of all, we should return a CoglMaterial* (now that we have that
as a public type) in get_target(); having handles all over the place
does not make it easier to distinguish the semantics of the virtual
functions.
Then we should rename create_target() to create_texture(), to make it
clear that what should be returned is a texture that is used as the
backing for the offscreen framebuffer.
It can be useful to be able to forcibly break the grab set up by the
ClickAction. The newly added release() method provides a mechanism to
release the grab and unset the :held state of the ClickAction.
This removes all references to SDL in the build instructions as the
backend is no longer available. The OpenGL version required is only
1.2 not 1.4. The Windows build instructions were out of date and have
been replaced with a link to the wiki instead.
Instead of exposing an API that provides an OpenGL state machine style
where you first have to bind the program to the context using
cogl_program_use() followed by updating uniforms using
cogl_program_uniform_xyz we now have uniform setter methods that take an
explicit CoglHandle for the program.
This deprecates cogl_program_use and all the cogl_program_uniform
variants and provides the following replacements:
cogl_program_set_uniform_1i
cogl_program_set_uniform_1f
cogl_program_set_uniform_int
cogl_program_set_uniform_float
cogl_program_set_uniform_matrix
A TableLayout is a layout manager that allocates its children in rows
and columns. Each child is assigned to a cell (or more if a cell span
is set).
The supported child properties are:
• x-expand and y-expand: if this cell with try to allocate the
available extra space for the table.
• x-fill and y-fill: if the child will get all the space available in
the cell.
• x-align and y-align: if the child does not fill the cell, then
where the child will be aligned inside the cell.
• row-span and col-span: number of cells the child will allocate for
itself.
Also, the TableLayout has row-spacing and col-spacing for specifying
the space in pixels between rows and between columns.
We also include a simple test of the layout manager, and the
documentation updates.
The TableLayout was implemented starting from MxTable and
ClutterBoxLayout.

Layout managers are using the same code to allocate a child while taking
into consideration:
• horizontal and vertical alignment
• horizontal and vertical fill
• the preferred minimum and natural size, depending
on the :request-mode property
• the text direction for the horizontal alignment
• an offset given by the fixed position properties
Given the amount of code involved, and the amount of details that can go
horribly wrong while copy and pasting such code in various classes - let
alone various projects - Clutter should provide an allocate() variant
that does the right thing in the right way. This way, we have a single
point of failure.
Some apps or some use cases don't need to clear the stage on immediate
rendering GPUs. A media player playing a fullscreen video or a
tile-based game, for instance.
These apps are redrawing the whole screen, so we can avoid clearing the
color buffer when preparing to paint the stage, since there is no
blending with the stage color being performed.
We can add an private set of hints to ClutterStage, and expose accessors
for each potential hint; the first hint is the 'no-clear' one.
