ClutterActor should be able to hold all transitions, even the ones that
have been explicitly created.
This will allow to add new transitions types in the future, like the
keyframe-based one, or the transition group.
It should be possible to ask a timeline what is its duration, taking
into account eventual repeats, and which repeat is the one currently
in progress.
These two functions allow writing animations that depend on the current
state of another timeline.
It should be possible to set up the delay of a transition, but since
we start the Transition instance before returning control to the caller,
we cannot use clutter_actor_get_transition() to do it without something
extra-awkward, like:
transition = clutter_actor_get_transition (actor, "width");
clutter_timeline_stop (transition);
clutter_timeline_set_delay (transition, 1000);
clutter_timeline_start (transition);
for each property involved. It's much easier to add a delay to the
easing state of an actor.
Clutter is meant to be, and I quote from the README, a toolkit:
for creating fast, compelling, portable, and dynamic graphical
user interfaces
and yet the default mode of operation for setting an actor's state on
the scene graph (position, size, opacity, rotation, scaling, depth,
etc.) is *not* dynamic. We assume a static UI, and then animate it.
This is the wrong way to design an API for a toolkit meant to be used to
create animated user interfaces. The default mode of operation should be
to implicitly animate every state transition, and only allow skipping
the animation if the user consciously decides to do so — i.e. the design
tenet of the API should be to make The Right Thing™ by default, and make
it really hard (or even impossible) to do The Wrong Thing™.
So we should identify "animatable" properties, i.e. those properties
that should be implicitly animated by ClutterActor, and use the
animation framework we provide to tween the transitions between the
current state and the desired state; the implicit animation should
happen when setting these properties using the public accessors, and not
through some added functionality. For instance, the following:
clutter_actor_set_position (actor, newX, newY);
should not make the actor jump to the (newX, newY) point; it should
tween the actor's position between the current point and the desired
point.
Since we have to maintain backward compatibility with existing
applications, we still need to mark the transitions explicitly, but we
can be smart about it, and treat transition states as a stack that can
be pushed and popped, e.g.:
clutter_actor_save_easing_state (actor);
clutter_actor_set_easing_duration (actor, 500);
clutter_actor_set_position (actor, newX, newY);
clutter_actor_set_opacity (actor, newOpacity);
clutter_actor_restore_easing_state (actor);
And we can even start stacking animations, e.g.:
clutter_actor_save_easing_state (actor);
clutter_actor_set_easing_duration (actor, 500);
clutter_actor_set_position (actor, newX, newY);
clutter_actor_save_easing_state (actor);
clutter_actor_set_easing_duration (actor, 500);
clutter_actor_set_easing_mode (actor, CLUTTER_LINEAR);
clutter_actor_set_opacity (actor, newOpacity);
clutter_actor_set_depth (actor, newDepth);
clutter_actor_restore_easing_state (actor);
clutter_actor_restore_easing_state (actor);
And so on, and so forth.
The implementation takes advantage of the newly added Transition API,
which uses only ClutterTimeline sub-classes and ClutterInterval, to cut
down the amount of signal emissions and memory management of object
instances; as well of using the ClutterAnimatable interface for custom
properties and interpolation of values.
As a convenience for the C API.
Language bindings should already be using the GValue variants.
This commit also moves the custom progress functions out of the
clutter-interval.c, as they are meant to be generic interpolation
functions and not ClutterInterval-specific.
The ::paint, ::queue-redraw, and ::queue-relayout signals should be
marked as no-recurse and no-hooks; these signals are emitted *a lot*
during each frame, and since GLib has a bunch of optimizations for
signals with no closures, we should try and squeeze every single CPU
cycle we can.

We can use the __COUNTER__ macro or, failing that, the __LINE__ macro to

The comment says that we're going to load textures in a loop until we

ClutterScript should be able to automatically call gettext() and friends
on strings loaded from a UI definition, prior to passing the string to
the object it is constructing.
The basic implementation is trivial:
- set a translation domain on the ClutterScript instance
- mark the translatable strings inside the JSON data, like:
"property" : {
"translatable" : true,
"string" : "a translatable string"
}
The hard part is now getting the tools we use to extract the
translatable strings to understand the JSON format we use inside
ClutterScript.
Let's keep a budget of 16.6 milliseconds per frame, and reduce it by the
amount of time spent in each phase of the frame processing. If any phase
goes over the allocated budget then we use the diagnostic mode
facilities to warn the app developer.
It is sometimes useful to be able to have better control on when a
repaint function is called. Currently, all repaint functions are called
prior to the stages update phase of the frame processing.
We can introduce flags to represent the point in the frame update
process in which we wish Clutter called the repaint function.
As a bonus, we can also add a flag that causes adding a repaint function
to spin the master clock.
In theory, handlers connected to the ::allocation-changed signal may be
able to modify the actor's real allocation and allocation flags,
especially now that we use STATIC_SCOPE; let's avoid this, so that we
don't regret it later.
The show and hide implementation inside ClutterStage ended up being
recursive, and the hide implementation would actually show the children
of the stage unconditionally.
Whoopsie.
The ActorBox passed to the ::allocation-changed signal should be
annotated as STATIC_SCOPE, given that it's a pointer to a structure
inside ClutterActorPrivate - hence there's no risk of it actually being
freed from a signal handler. This allows the GSignal machinery to avoid
a costly copy/free for each signal emission.
If the redraw entry is not cleared, queueing a redraw from a signal
handler could reinsert the same object in the stage redraw list,
causing the segfault later (as the object is immediately freed)

We currently check for the IN_DESTRUCTION flag inside the
add_child_internal() function.
This check disallows calling methods that change the stacking order
within the destruction sequence, by triggering a critical warning first,
and leaving the actor in an undefined state, which then ends up being
caught by an assertion.
The reproducible sequence is:
- actor gets destroyed;
- another actor, linked to the first, will try to change the
stacking order of the first actor;
- changing the stacking order is a composite operation composed
by the following steps:
1. ref() the child;
2. remove_child_internal(), which removes the reference;
3. add_child_internal(), which adds a reference;
- the state of the actor is not changed between (2) and (3), as
it could be an expensive recomputation;
- if (3) bails out, then the actor is in an undefined state, but
still alive;
- the destruction sequence terminates, but the actor is unparented
while its state indicates being parented instead.
- assertion failure.
The obvious fix would be to decompose each set_child_*_sibling() method
into proper remove_child()/add_child(), with state validation; this may
cause excessive work, though, and trigger a cascade of other bugs in
code that assumes that a change in the stacking order is an atomic
operation.
Another potential fix is to just remove this check here, and let code
doing stacking order changes inside the destruction sequence of an actor
continue doing the work.
The third fix is to silently bail out early from every
set_child_*_sibling() and set_child_at_index() method, and avoid doing
work.
I have a preference for the second solution, since it involves the least
amount of work, and the least amount of code duplication.

GLib introduced macros that allows defining the lower and upper bounds

The lower bound allows to define the minimum version that will trigger

This scheme allows gradually porting application code to a new version

Now that ClutterActor has a default paint volume, subclasses may wish
to retrieve it without chaining up to the parent's implementation of
the get_paint_volume() function.
The get_default_paint_volume() returns a ClutterPaintVolume pointer
to the paint volume as computed by the default implementation of the
get_paint_volume() virtual function; it can only be used immediately,
as it's not guaranteed to survive across multiple frames.
Creating PaintVolume instances is not possible, and it's not recommended
anyway. It is, though, necessary to union paint volumes, especially with
2D boxes, in some cases.
Clutter should provide a simple convenience function that allows
unioning volumes to boxes in a moderately efficient way.

We cannot deprecate ClutterAlpha yet. We cannot also implement
ClutterAlpha in terms of ClutterTimeline, because multiple Alpha
instances can be attached to the same Timeline. So we can start
with a "soft" deprecation: just a warning in the documentation
stating that ClutterAlpha will be deprecated, and removed, in the
future, and that newly-written code should use ClutterTimeline
instead.
We can use ClutterTimeline and its progress mode inside
ClutterAnimation; obviously, we have to maintain the invariants because
of the ClutterAnimation:alpha property, but if all you set is the :mode
property using one of the Clutter animation modes then we can skip the
ClutterAlpha entirely.
Instead of having the easing functions be dependent of ClutterAlpha, and
static to the clutter-alpha.c source file, we should make them generic
and move them to their own internal header and source files. This will
allow to re-use them in the near future.
Since Cogl has started restricting what cogl 1.x api is exposed when
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API is defined and since we build all
Clutter internals with COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API defined this
patch makes a first pass at reducing our internal use of the Cogl 1.x
api.
The most notable api that's no longer exposed to us internally is
the cogl_material_ api so this switches all Clutter internals to use the
cogl_pipeline_ api instead. This patch also makes quite a bit of
progress removing internal uses of CoglHandle although there is still
more to go.
The experimental cogl_texture_pixmap_x11_new() api was recently changed
to take an explicit context argument and return a GError on failures.
This updates Clutter's use of the api accordingly.
We were only exposing clutter_backend_get_cogl_context() if
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API had been defined but the CoglContext
api is also available if COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API has been defined.
As it was it meant that code opting into the experimental Cogl api
but not limiting to the 2.0 only api would have to #define
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_2_0_API before including clutter.h but make
sure it wasn't defined when including cogl.h which was particularly
awkward.
Recently the cogl_framebuffer_swap_* apis were moved into the
cogl_onscreen_* namespace since only CoglOnscreen framebuffers can be
double buffered. This renames all uses of the cogl_framebuffer_swap_*
apis in Clutter.
The experimental cogl_pipeline_new() api was recently changed so it
explicitly takes a CoglContext. This updates all calls to
cogl_pipeline_new() in clutter accordingly.

set_fullscreen(), otherwise the backing X window will not be set,
and ClutterStageX11 will silently discard the change.
If set_fullscreen() was called prior to realization, ClutterStageX11

padding or margin).
The pack-start property is broken, and it only works because we walk the
children list backwards; this horribly breaks when a child changes
visibility. Plus, we count invisible children, which leads to
allocations getting insane origins (either close to -MAX_FLOAT or
MAX_FLOAT).
Finally, the allocation is applied twice even for non-animated cases.

The blur effect needs to pass a uniform to the GLSL shader so that it
can know the texture coordinate offset from one texel to another. To
calculate this the blur effect was previously using the allocation
size of the actor rounded up to the next power of two. Presumably the

next power of two when allocating the texture. However this is not be
true if the driver supports NPOT textures. Also it doesn't take into

be a completely different size. This patch just changes to directly

Being able to easily set the number of repeats has been a request for
the animation framework for some time now. The usual way to implement
this is: connect to the ::completed signal, use a static counter, and
stop the timeline when the counter hits a specific spot.
In the same light as the :auto-reverse property, we can make it easier
to implement this common functionality by adding a :repeat-count
property that, when set, limits the amount of loops that a Timeline can
perform before stopping itself.
In fact, we can implement the :loop property in terms of the
:repeat-count property just by using a sentinel value mapping to
"infinity", and map loop=FALSE to repeat-count=0, and loop=TRUE to
repeat-count=-1.
The clutter_timeline_clone() method was a pretty dumb idea when it was

ClutterActor stopped requiring to override the map and unmap virtual
functions some time ago.
Now that ClutterActor implements the Container interface, overriding map
and unmap to control the MAPPED state of the children is pretty much
going to be a source of bugs and misunderstandings.
Plus, the ordering of the unmap, destroy, dispose, and finalize calls
should be be documented properly.
The documentation should clarify all that.
When calling clutter_actor_destroy(), ClutterActor calls
update_map_state() on itself to unset the REALIZED and MAPPED states,
prior to running the dispose() implementation.
The default dispose() will call remove_child() (either directly or
through the Container implementation), which will check for the MAPPED
state and then run update_map_state() again. We use the previously set
MAPPED state to decide whether or not the parent should queue for a
relayout/redraw when removing a visible children.
If the MAPPED flag was cleared prior to remove_child(), though, it'll
always be unset by the time we get to remove_child(), and this will
cause missing redraws/relayouts; we were ignoring this prior the
post-First Apocalypse changes because we were doing:
if (was_mapped)
clutter_actor_queue_relayout (parent);
clutter_actor_queue_redraw (parent);
which is obviously wrong. Once I removed that glaring brain damage from
the remove_child() implementation, bugs started appearing — bugs that
were probably the reason why we introduced that brain damage in the
first place, instead of checking the source of those bugs.
The obvious fix is to avoid clearing up the actor's state on destroy()
until we remove the actor from its parent. This also reduces the amount
of work we do, and the code paths that can potentially go wrong.
Since the code dealing with ClutterShader is pretty self-contained, now,
we can safely move it outside of the main ClutterActor source file and
into its own. This will allow us to just drop a bunch of files when
branching for 2.0.
The YUV support depends on the driver support, and not only not many
drivers support YUV natively: the supported colorspaces are pretty much
useless.
The proper way to do YUV to RGB colorspace conversion on the GPU is to
use a fragment shader; for that, ClutterTexture and Cogl provide enough
API to achieve a good result - see the Clutter-GStreamer implementation,
for instance.
ClutterFixedLayout is the default layout manager for ClutterActor.
Existing subclasses of ClutterActor will get a fixed layout manager
regardless of whether they are going to use it, but since it sets the
CLUTTER_ACTOR_NO_LAYOUT flag, it will introduce regressions on actors
that perform their own layout management.
The CLUTTER_ACTOR_NO_LAYOUT flag was a bit of a mistake in the first
place, as it was introduced as a last minute workaround in the 1.0
process to deal with broken stuff in Moblin. It's going to be a target
for deprecation towards a removal when we start the 2.0 process.
Iterating over children and ancestors of an actor is a relatively common
operation. Currently, you only have one option: start a for() loop, get
the first child of the actor, and advance to the next sibling for the
list of children; or start a for() loop and advance to the parent of the
actor.
These operations can be easily done through the ClutterActor API, but
they all require going through the public API, and performing multiple
type checks on the arguments.
Along with the DOM API, it would be nice to have an ancillary, utility
API that uses an iterator structure to hold the state, and can be
advanced in a loop.

During the gutting of ClutterBox, the destroy and dispose implementation
were removed. The former, especially, destroyed all children - which
usually meant that the redraw queues for the childre was cleared as
well. The removal introduced crashes when a Box was destroyed while its
children were still queueing redraws.
Symbolic names are better than magic numbers, even if they are
well-established and won't likely change.
This maps to a commit in GTK+ that introduced the same names; it
was decided to go for PRIMARY, MIDDLE, and SECONDARY because of
the confusion that may arise when the button order gets flipped
in left-handed configurations - the "left" button (i.e. 1) becomes
the right-most button, and the "right" button (i.e. 3) becomes
the left-most button.

Also update the code to set the size of the stage to set it to the size of the
output. In future versions of the Wayland protocol we'll get a configure
message advising of us of the size we can be to achieve fullscreen.
* stage-state:

wayland: Use the Stage state tracking
gdk: Use the Stage state tracking

State changes on the Stage are currently deferred to the windowing
system backends, but the code is generally the same, and it should
be abstracted neatly inside the Stage class itself.
There's also the extra caveat for backends that state changes on a
Stage must also emit a ClutterEvent of type CLUTTER_STAGE_STATE, a
requirement that needlessly complicates the backend code.
GLib has gained support for compiling ancillary data files into the same
binary blob as a library or as an executable.
We should add this feature to ClutterScript, so that it's possible to
bundle UI definitions with an application.
The only actor that results in a mix of the old Container API and the
new Actor API is ClutterStage. By inheritance, a Stage is a Group, but
we don't want it to behave like a Group - as it already overrides most
of the Actor API, and the reason why it was made as a Group in the
first place was convenience for adding/removing children.
Given that touching Group to make it aware of the new Actor API has
rapidly devolved into a struggle between a Demiurge that tries to
avoid breakage and a Chaos that finds new and interesting ways to
break ClutterGroup, let's declare API bankruptcy here and now.
ClutterStage should override ClutterContainer methods, and use the
layout management of ClutterFixedLayout as the proper class that it
was meant to be ages ago. Let ClutterGroup rot in pieces.
Now that we reinstated Group to its "former glory", we need to ensure
that applications using the deprecated containers with the new DOM API
in ClutterActor can actually work - or, at least, not break horribly.
This actually means making sure that ClutterStage and ClutterGroup can
cope with the DOM, while retaining their old implementations, as well as
their bizarre idiosyncrasies and their utter, utter brokenness.
Making Group just a proxy to Actor broke some behaviour that application
and toolkit code was relying on. Let's keep Group around to fight
another day.
This commit fixes gnome-shell as far as I can test it.
A Group is a just a ClutterActor with the layout-manager property set at
instance initialization time. It doesn't need anything else from
ClutterActor's vtable, except the slightly custom show_all/hide_all
implementation, and a simplified get_paint_volume.
Instead of chaining up, given that we want to bypass chaining up and
just set the allocation. This also allows us to bail out of the
overridden allocate vfunc check, given that we want the default Actor
behaviour to apply - including eventual layout manager delegates.
The usual way to implement a container actor is to override the
allocate() virtual function, chain up, and then allocate the actor's
children.
Clutter now has the ability to delegate layout management to
ClutterLayoutManager directly; in the allocation, this is done by
checking whether the actor has children, and then call
clutter_layout_manager_allocate() from within the default implementation
of the ClutterActor::allocate() vfunc. The same vfunc that everyone, has
been chaining up to.
Whoopsie.
Well, we can check if there's a layout manager, and if it's NULL, we
bail out. Except that there's a default layout manager, and it's the
fixed layout manager, so that classes like Group and Stage work by
default.
Double whoopsie.
The fix for this scenario is a bit nasty; we have to check if the actor
class has overridden the allocate() vfunc or not, before actually
looking at the layout manager. This means that classes that override the
allocate() vfunc are expected to do everything that ClutterActor's
default implementation does - which I think it's a fair requirement to
have.
For newly written code, though, it would probably be best if we just
provided a function that does the right thing by default, and that
you're supposed to be calling from within the allocate() vfunc
implementation, if you ever chose to override it. This new function,
clutter_actor_set_allocation(), should come with a warning the size of
Texas, to avoid people thinking it's a way to override the whole "call
allocate() on each child" mechanism. Plus, it should check if we're
inside an allocation sequence, and bail out if not.
If we want to set a default layout manager, we need to do so inside
init(), as it's not guaranteed that people subclassing Actor and
overriding ::constructed will actually chain up as they should.
The default pick() behaviour does not take into consideration the
children of a ClutterActor because the existing containter actors
usually override pick(), chain up, and then paint their children.
With ClutterActor now a concrete class, though, we need a way to pick
its children without requiring a sub-class; we could simply iterate over
the children inside the default pick() implementation, but this would
lead to double painting, which is not acceptable.
A moderately gross hack is to check if the Actor instance did override
the pick() implementation, and if it is not the case, paint the children
in pick mode.
The hide_all() method is pretty much pointless, as hiding an actor will
automatically prevent its children from being painted. The show_all()
method would only be marginally useful, if actors weren't set to be
visible by default when added to another actor - which was the case when
we introduced show_all() and hide_all().

When dereferencing GArray.data to a C structure you need a double cast
from guint8* to void*, and then from void* to the actual type. This
avoids compiler warnings, especially when using clang on OSX.
The concept of "internal child" only meant anything when we had a
separate API for containers and actors. Now that we plugged that
particular hole, we can drop all the hacks we used to have in place
to work around its design limitations.
It can be convenient to be able to set, or get, all the components of an
actor's margin at the same time; since we already have a boxed type for
storing a margin, an accessors pair based on it is not a complicated
addition to the API.
Inside the set_child_[above|below]_sibling() and set_child_at_index() we
should be using the internal API for mutating the children list, instead
of the delegate functions. This ensures that we go through a single,
well-defined code path for all operations on the list of children of
an actor.
We have a replacement in ClutterActor, now.
The old ClutterContainer API needs to be deprecated, and the raise() and
lower() virtual functions need a default implementation, so we can check
for implementations overriding them, by using the diagnostic mode like
we do for add(), remove(), and foreach().
The sort_depth_order() virtual function just doesn't do anything, as it
should have been made ages ago.
The Actor wrappers for the Container methods also need to be deprecated.
ClutterActor provides four methods for changing the paint sequence order
of its children:
raise_top()
raise()
lower()
lower_bottom()
The first and last one being just wrappers around raise() and lower(),
respectively. These methods have various issues: they omit the parent,
preferring to retrieve it from the actor passed as the first argument;
this does not match the new style of API introduced to operate on the
list of children of an actor.
Additionally, the raise() and lower() methods of ClutterActor call into
the Container interface, and are not really aptly named (raise() in
particular collides with the completely unrelated 'raise' keyword in
Python, and usually needs to be wrapped in order to be used at all).
Furthermore, we need public methods that Container can call from its
default implementation, as well as methods to port current Container
implementations.
Finally, since we have insert_child_at_index(), we should also have an
equivalent set_child_at_index() as well.
The internal versions of add_child() and remove_child() currently use
boolean arguments to control things like the ChildMeta instances and
the emissions of signals; using more than one boolean argument is an
indication that you need flags to avoid readability issues, as well as
providing a way to add new behaviours without a combinatorial explosion
of arguments, later on.
I don't feel comfortable with this feature, and its implementation
still has too many rough edges. We can safely punt it for now, and
introduce it at a later point, as it doesn't block existing features
or API.
This virtual function will let layout managers with legacy expansion
flags be able to influence the lazy computation of the expansion flags
on ClutterActor.
We need to paint the background color in the default class handler for
two reasons: it's logically appropriate, and we don't want actor
subclasses overriding the ::paint class handler to change behaviour only
because somebody decided to set the background color.
The old add(), remove(), and foreach() virtual functions are deprecated;
ClutterContainer should warn if the public API detects that the vfuncs
have been overridden.
Strictly speaking, it's still legal to override those vfuncs: you can
chain up to the default vtable, or you could just provide an equivalent
implementation. The goal is to avoid having to override the Container
interface, until we can safely deprecate it and remove it in Clutter
2.0.
Instead of making ClutterActor implement the basic add/remove/foreach
virtual functions of ClutterContainer, we can simply do that from
within the ClutterContainer implementation.
The get_children(), foreach(), and foreach_with_internals() methods and
virtual functions are superceded by the Actor API, and should not be
used in newly written code.
Given the size and scope of the changes in ClutterActor, we ought to
rewrite the overall description of what an actor is, what it does, and
how are you supposed to use it and subclass it.
This will make things interesting.
We have better replacements in ClutterActor, that do The Right Thing™
instead of deferring control and requiring reimplementation in every
single container actor.
The correct sequence of actions should be remove(old) → insert(new), not
insert(new) → remove(old). We can implement a simple delegate insertion
functions to insert the new child between the previous and next siblings
of the old child.
While we're at it, let's also add a unit test for replace_child().
Providing a default get_paint_volume() that takes into account the
children of an actor was a goal of the whole First Apocalypse; if we
make all the containers rely on it, and yet we return a FALSE value
(meaning: we don't have a valid paint volume) even when we do have it,
then we are going to break the whole machinery, though.
Cally is doing a bunch of list traversals through the list returned by
ClutterContainer.get_children(); this means a traversal already, plus
a bunch of allocations. We can do better than that, now that we have
a proper graph iteration API inside ClutterActor.
The insert_child_at_index, insert_below and insert_above messed up the
first and last child pointers in various cases. This commit fixes all
the instances of first and last child pointers being stale or set to
NULL.
Instead of getting the list of children to iterate over it, let's use
the newly added child iteration API; this should save us a bunch of
allocations, as well as indirections.
Ported: ClutterBinLayout and ClutterBoxLayout.
Instead of requiring every consumer of the ClutterActor API that wishes
to iterate over the children of an actor to use the get_children()
method, we should provide an iteration API directly inside ClutterActor
itself.
Instead of storing the list of children, let's turn Actor inside a
proper node of a tree.
This change adds the following members to the Actor private data
structure:
first_child
last_child
prev_sibling
next_sibling
and removes the "children" GList from it; iteration is performed through
the direct pointers to the siblings and children.
This change makes removal, insertion before a sibling, and insertion
after a sibling constant time operations, but it still retains the
feature of ClutterActor.add_child() to build the list of children while
taking into account the depth set on the newly added child, to allow the
default painter's algorithm we employ inside the paint() implementation
to at least try and cope with the :depth property (albeit in a fairly
naïve way). Changes in the :depth property will not change the paint
sequence any more: this functionality will be restored later.
ClutterTransformInfo is a (private) ancillary data structure that
contains all the decomposed transformation data, i.e. rotation angles
and centers, scale factors and centers, and anchor point. This data
structure is stored in the GData of the actor instance instead of the
actor's private data. This change gives us:
• a smaller, cleaner private data structure;
• no size penalty for untransformed actors;
• static constant storage for the defaults, shared across all
instances;
• cache locality for all the decomposed transformation data,
given that the structure size is smaller.
At the end of the day, the only authoritative piece of information for
actor transformation is the CoglMatrix that we initialize in
apply_transform() from all the decomposed parameters, and that can stay
inside the private data structure of ClutterActor.
There are only two kinds of actors that allow underallocations,
according to the API contract:
• ClutterStage, as it is a viewport and it doesn't have an implicit
minimum size;
• Actors using the CLUTTER_ACTOR_NO_LAYOUT escape hatch, which allows
them to bail out from our layout management policies.
The warning about underallocations should take these two exceptions
under consideration.
The Group functionality is now provided by ClutterActor.
Sadly, we need to keep the ClutterGroup structure definition in the
non-deprecated header because ClutterStage inherits from Group - an API
wart that was never fixed during the 0.x cycles, and that we'll have to
keep around until we can break API.
ClutterBox functionality has been implemented by ClutterActor, and
proxied by the Box subclass; with the removal of the abstract bit on
ClutterActor, we can safely deprecated ClutterBox.
ClutterActor now has all the API and capabilities for being a concrete
class:
- layout management, through delegation
- container implementation and API
- background color
This means that a simple scene can be built straight out of actors
without using subclasses except for the Stage.
This is the first step towards the deprecation of most of the Actor
subclasses provided by Clutter.
ClutterActor can do better by default than just giving up immediately.
An actor can check for the clip region, and for its children's paint
volume, for instance.
Just these two should give us a better default implementation for newly
written code.
The minimum preferred size of a Flow layout manager is the size of a
column or a row, as the whole point of the layout policy enforced by
the Flow layout manager is to reflow when needed.
ClutterBox's color and color-set properties can be implemented as
proxies for the ClutterActor's newly added background-color and
background-color-set properties, respectively.
This also allows us to get rid of the paint() implementation inside
ClutterBox altogether.
Each actor should have a background color property, disabled by default.
This property allows us to cover 99% of the use cases for
ClutterRectangle, and brings us one step closer to being able to
instantiate ClutterActor directly.
And make sure that overriding Container and calling
clutter_actor_add_child() will result in the same sequence of operations
as the current set_parent()+queue_relayout()+signal_emit pattern.
Existing containers can continue using:
clutter_actor_set_parent (child, CLUTTER_ACTOR (container));
clutter_actor_queue_relayout (CLUTTER_ACTOR (container));
g_signal_emit_by_name (container, "actor-added", child);
and newly written containers overriding Container.add() can simply call:
clutter_actor_add_child (CLUTTER_ACTOR (container), child);
instead.
We need to queue a relayout when removing a visible child from a visible
parent.
We also need to insert the child at the right position (depending on the
depth) so that newly added actors will be painted on top.
Remove four more floats from ClutterActorPrivate.
The fixed minimum and natural sizes should be stored inside the
ClutterLayoutInfo structure, along with the fixed position.
Add a failsafe against a NULL parent, to avoid a segfault when calling
clutter_actor_allocate() on the Stage.
We also need to deal with floating point values: straight comparison is
not going to cut it.
ClutterActor has various properties controlling the allocation:
- x-align, y-align
- margin-top, margin-bottom, margin-left, margin-right
These properties should adjust the ClutterActorBox passed from the
parent actor to its children when calling clutter_actor_allocate(),
so that the child can just allocate its children at the right origin
with the right available size.
The actor class should be able to hold the margin offsets like it does
for expand and alignment flags.
Instead of filling the private data structure with data, we should be
able to use an ancillary data structure, given that all this data is
optional and might never be set in the first place.
In case no layout manager was set during construction, we fall back to a
FixedLayout. The FixedLayout has the property of making the fixed
positioning and sizing API, as well as the various Constraints, work
out of the box.
Now that ClutterActor implements the Container contract we can actually
defer the size negotiation to a ClutterLayoutManager directly from the
default implementation of the Actor's virtual functions.
We can provide most of the ClutterContainer implementation directly
within ClutterActor — basically removing the need of having the
Container interface in the first place. For backward compatibility
reasons we can keep the interface, but let Actor implement it directly.
Let's try and move away from the reverse implicit scene graph build API,
which we mutuated from GTK+, towards a more traditional node/child API.
The set_parent()/unparent() API is confusing, unless you know the
history; having a add_child()/remove_child() methods pair makes it more
explicit.
We can easily implement the old set_parent()/unparent() pair in terms of
the newly add_child()/remove_child() one.
Enclose the check inside a #ifdef CLUTTER_ENABLE_DEBUG ... #endif, so
that we can compile it out; also, use g_string_append() instead of the
g_string_append_printf() function, given that we're just concatenating
strings.
The ::redraw virtual function was a throwback from olden times, and has
been thoroughly replaced by the equivalent vfunc on the StageWindow
interface. We can safely remove it, now, and simplify the flow of the
redraw code inside ClutterStage.
Semantic changes to Wayland means that we cannot rely on the compositor
setting a pointer buffer for us if set it to nil. The first part of fixing
this is to create an shm buffer containing the bytes for our cursor.
The best way to do this currently is to load the cursor from the well known
location where weston instals its cursor images. The code to implemente this
was derivedlifted from the Wayland backend in GTK+.
Currently, we're emitting the ClutterActor::destroy at the end of the
dispose implementation - right before we chain up to the parent
implementation.
The point of emission makes the ::destroy signal handlers able to just
use the actor pointer - as the actor state will have been mostly cleared
by the time application can run. This (undocumented) behaviour severely
limits the amount of things you can do inside a ::destroy signal
handler, thus making the ::destroy signal just a weird weak reference,
instead of a proper way to break application reference cycles.
Given that this change relaxes some of the conditions, this change
should be safe - obviously, if anything happens, we'll back it out; the
conformance and interactive tests confirm that, for common patterns of
usage, this change does not break existing code.
GLib has a nice, atomic object clearing function that allows us to drop
code looking like:
if (priv->object != NULL)
{
g_object_unref (priv->object);
priv->object = NULL;
}
from the ::dispose implementation.
I always have to think twice before returning a value from an event
signal handler, and I've been writing them for the past 10 years, so
it's conceivable that application developers that start with Clutter
will find them confusing as well.
Simple symbolic names should be easier to use.
The depth cueing through GL fog has been broken for a long while, now.
The fog-related API in Clutter is ridiculously limited, and harks back
to simpler times; the ClutterFog structure is not enough to express all
the GL fog machinery, and required application code to connect to the
Stage's paint implementation and drop into Cogl directly.
Additionally, the fixed pipeline fog machinery in GL simply does not
work with premultiplied alpha, unless you use a shader - and in that
case it would only work for textures. Let's deprecate it, and just
don't do anything if somebody has the brilliant idea of setting the
:use-fog property to TRUE.
Sadly, we need to remove the G_GNUC_NULL_TERMINATED annotation from
ClutterBox packing API; the compiler will otherwise emit a warning
for perfectly legal statements like:
clutter_box_pack (box, child, NULL);
because of the missing sentinel.
See also: g_object_new().
GLib has a "diagnostic mode" switch that can be checked to enable debug
messages on deprecated properties and signals, as these are purely
run-time constructs, and as such cannot be caught by compiler warnings.
The diagnostic mode is toggled by a simple environment variable, and
can be used to ease porting of application code.
We can use something similar to mark deprecated virtual functions and
other run-time constructs; to avoid collisions, we should use our own
environment variable, CLUTTER_ENABLE_DIAGNOSTIC.
Instead of using a PaintVolume for a 2D region, and an internal
function, use the newly added queue_redraw_with_clip() method.
This removes the last bit of internal API usage in the
ClutterX11TexturePixmap actor.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660997
Add a public version of the clipped queue redraw, using a 2D clip. This
allows implementing actors with trackable 2D clipped regions, like the
ClutterX11TexturePixmap, outside of Clutter itself.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660997
The Wayland protocol now has events represent when a pointer enters the
surface and when it leaves again.
For leaves the surface is not set in the event, for enters the surface is set.
Simply use this to determine whether to emit CLUTTER_ENTER or CLUTTER_LEAVE.
