Use clutter_event_get_coords() to get x and y position,
rather than casting to the right event type then directly
accessing members of the event struct.
Decided might be better to cover crossing and motion under
a broader "pointer motion" recipe, so renamed the example
(which only shows pointer crossing event handling).
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 clarifies the documentation for clutter_actor_queue_redraw to
explain that custom actors should call this whenever some private state
changes that affects painting *or* picking.
The expectation is that actors should call clutter_actor_queue_redraw
when ever some private state changes that affects painting *or* picking.
ClutterTexture was not doing this for pick_with_alpha property changes.
The idea is that if we see multiple picks per frame then that implies
the visible scene has become static. In this case we can promote the
next pick render to be unclipped so we have valid pick values for the
entire stage. Now we can continue to read from this cached buffer until
the stage contents do visibly change.
Thanks to Luca Bruno on #clutter for this idea!
Rewrote example for single texture + COGL to use
a GdkPixbuf to load images, rather than reading data
out of another CoglTexture.
The data is then loaded from the pixbuf to a region of
the CoglTexture (as before).
The recipe covers a two texture approach (using the Clutter API)
and a single texture approach (using COGL).
It also discusses issues with cross-fading between images of
different sizes with the COGL API, and gives a longer
example of cycling through multiple images in a slideshow
application.
Added a video showing the two texture cross-fade.
Modified the example code to animate on key press, so
this video could be captured.
Also altered the stage size to minimise the video size.
Front/back seems like the wrong terminology when discussing
actors arranged in layers. Top/bottom fits better with Clutter
API function names and other recipes, so renamed variables.
Cross-fading between two images is straightforward,
but cycling between more than two is more efficient
if done by copying COGL textures between the
two textures, rather than trying to reposition the
textures.
The example demonstrates how to reuse a pair of
textures to cycle through multiple images.
Modified the code example for the Clutter API version
of the cross-fade to use the same command line
as the COGL version.
This also simplifies the explanation in the recipe.
Also made the COGL code sample more consistent with
the Clutter API code sample.
Added simple image viewer which loads image file names
from a directory, displays the first one, then displays
the next in the list with each key press. Uses the
primitive fade front in/fade back out approach.
Also adapted Emmanuele's example code which uses Cogl
to produce a similar effect, but within a single texture.
This code loads two images specified on the command
line and cross-fades between them.
The tests/accessibility, tests/micro-bench and the examples directory
in the coobook create a lot of non-installed binaries. Since we know who
they are, and we ignore them, we can auto-generate the ignore files as
well.
The rest of Clutter is covered by the main ignore file.
Weak materials are ones that don't take a reference on their parent and
they are associated with a callback that notifies when the material is
destroyed, because its parent was freed or modified.

For now the concept is internal only but the plan is to make this public
at some point once we have tested the design internally.
