The master clock is currently advanced using a frame source driven
by the default frame rate. This breaks the sync to vblank because
the vblanking rate could be different than 60 Hz -- or it might be
completely disabled (e.g. with CLUTTER_VBLANK=none).
We should be using the main loop to check if we have timelines
playing, and if so queue a redraw on the stages we own.
We should also prepare the subsequent frame at the end of the redraw
process, so if there are new redraw we will have the scene already
in place.
This makes Clutter redraw at the maximum frame rate, which is
limited by the vblanking frequency.
Currently, picking in ClutterGroup pollutes the CLUTTER_DEBUG=paint
logs since it just calls the paint function. Reimplementing the pick
doesn't make us lose anything -- it might even be slightly faster
since we don't have to do a (typed) cast and a class dereference.
The timeline created when calling set_timeline(NULL) is referenced
even though we implicitly own it. When the Animation is destroyed,
the timeline is then leaked.

Currently, the conversion from em to units is done by using the
default font name inside the backend. For actors using their own
font/text layout we need a way to specify the font name along
with the quantity we wish to transform.
Commit 515350a7 renamed ::focus-in and ::focus-out to ::key-focus-in
and ::key-focus-out respectively. One signal emission for ::focus-out
escaped the renaming in ClutterStage.
For consistency, and since those signals are key-related, the
::focus-in signal is not ::key-focus-in and the ::focus-out
signal is now ::key-focus-out.
Add a method for deleting the current selection inside a Text actor.
This is useful for subclasses.

Based on a patch by: Raymond Liu <raymond.liu@intel.com>
ClutterAnimation currently inherits the initial floating reference
semantics from GInitiallyUnowned. An Animation is, though, meant to
be used as a top-level object, like a Timeline or a Behaviour, and
not "owned" by another object. For this reason, the initial floating
reference does not make any sense.
With the recent change to internal floating point values, ClutterUnit
has become a redundant type, defined to be a float. All integer entry
points are being internally converted to floating point values to be
passed to the GL pipeline with the least amount of conversion.
ClutterUnit is thus exposed as just a "pixel with fractionary bits",
and not -- as users might think -- as generic, resolution and device
independent units. not that it was the case, but a definitive amount
of people was convinced it did provide this "feature", and was flummoxed
about the mere existence of this type.
So, having ClutterUnit exposed in the public API doubles the entry
points and has the following disadvantages:
- we have to maintain twice the amount of entry points in ClutterActor
- we still do an integer-to-float implicit conversion
- we introduce a weird impedance between pixels and "pixels with
fractionary bits"
- language bindings will have to choose what to bind, and resort
to manually overriding the API
+ *except* for language bindings based on GObject-Introspection, as
they cannot do manual overrides, thus will replicate the entire
set of entry points
For these reason, we should coalesces every Actor entry point for
pixels and for ClutterUnit into a single entry point taking a float,
like:
void clutter_actor_set_x (ClutterActor *self,
gfloat x);
void clutter_actor_get_size (ClutterActor *self,
gfloat *width,
gfloat *height);
gfloat clutter_actor_get_height (ClutterActor *self);
etc.
The issues I have identified are:
- we'll have a two cases of compiler warnings:
- printf() format of the return values from %d to %f
- clutter_actor_get_size() taking floats instead of unsigned ints
- we'll have a problem with varargs when passing an integer instead
of a floating point value, except on 64bit platforms where the
size of a float is the same as the size of an int
To be clear: the *intent* of the API should not change -- we still use
pixels everywhere -- but:
- we remove ambiguity in the API with regard to pixels and units
- we remove entry points we get to maintain for the whole 1.0
version of the API
- we make things simpler to bind for both manual language bindings
and automatic (gobject-introspection based) ones
- we have the simplest API possible while still exposing the
capabilities of the underlying GL implementation
The flags field of ClutterActor should have accessor methods for,
language bindings.
Also, the set_flags() and unset_flags() methods should actively
emit notifications for the changed properties.
The clutter frame source tries to average out the frame deltas so that
if one frame takes 1 interval plus a little bit of extra time then the
next frame will be 1 interval minus that little bit of extra
time. Therefore the deltas can sometimes be less than the frame
interval. ClutterTimeline should accumulate these small differences
otherwise it will end up missing out frames so the total duration of
the timeline will be a lot longer.
For example this was causing test-actors to appear to run very slow.
The units in the Timeline test suite just rely on the timeline
being a timeout automatically advanced by the main loop. This
is not the case anymore, since the merge of the master-clock.
To make the test units work again we need to "emulate" the master
clock without effectively having a stage to redraw; we do this
by creating a frame source and manually advancing the timelines
we create for test purposes, using the advance_msecs() "protected"
method.
The method of ClutterTimeline that advances the timeline by a
delta (in millisecond) is going to be useful for testing the
timeline's behaviour -- and unbreak the timeline test suite that
was broken by the MasterClock merge.
With the change in commit 87e4e2 painting of hidden source actors
in ClutterClone was fixed. This commit changes the test-actor-clone
to visually verify this.
With the introduction of the map/unmap flags and the split of the
visible state from the mapped state we require that every part of
a scene graph branch is mapped in order to be painted. This breaks
the ability of a ClutterClone to paint an hidden source actor.
In order to fix this we need to introduce an override flag, similar
in spirit to the current modelview and paint opacity overrides that
Clone is already using.
The override flag, when set, will force a temporary map on a
Clone source (and its children).
ClutterContainer provides a foreach_with_internals() vfunc for
iterating over all of a container's children, be them added using
the Container API or be them internal to the container itself.
We should be using the foreach_with_internals() function instead
of the plain foreach().
Bug 1484 - Redraw ClutterClone when the source changes, even for
!visible sources
Connect to ::queue-redraw on the clone source and queue a redraw.
This allows redrawing the Clone when the source changes, even in
case of a non visible source actor.

Currently, all timelines install a timeout inside the TimeoutPool
they share. Every time the main loop spins, all the timeouts are
updated. This, in turn, will usually lead to redraws being queued
on the stages.
This behaviour leads to the potential starvation of timelines and
to excessive redraws.
One lesson learned from the games developers is that the scenegraph
should be prepared in its entirety before the GL paint sequence is
initiated. This means making sure that every ::new-frame signal
handler is called before clutter_redraw() is invoked.
In order to do so a TimeoutPool is not enough: we need a master
clock. The clock will be responsible for advancing all the active
timelines created inside a scene, but only when the stage is
being redrawn.
The sequence is:
+ queue_redraw() is invoked on an actor and bubbles up
to the stage
+ if no redraw() has already been scheduled, install an
idle handler with a known priority
+ inside the idle handler:
- advance the master clock, which will in turn advance
every playing timeline by the amount of milliseconds
elapsed since the last redraw; this will make every
playing timeline emit the ::new-frame signal
- queue a relayout
- call the redraw() method of the backend
This way we trade multiple timeouts with a single frame source
that only runs if a timeline is playing and queues redraws on
the various stages.

Bug 1138 - No trackable "mapped" state
* Add a VISIBLE flag tracking application programmer's
expected showing-state for the actor, allowing us to
always ensure we keep what the app wants while tracking
internal implementation state separately.
* Make MAPPED reflect whether the actor will be painted;
add notification on a ClutterActor::mapped property.
Keep MAPPED state updated as the actor is shown,
ancestors are shown, actor is reparented, etc.
* Require a stage and realized parents to realize; this means
at realization time the correct window system and GL resources
are known. But unparented actors can no longer be realized.
* Allow children to be unrealized even if parent is realized.
Otherwise in effect either all actors or no actors are realized,
i.e. it becomes a stage-global flag.
* Allow clutter_actor_realize() to "fail" if not inside a toplevel
* Rework clutter_actor_unrealize() so internally we have
a flavor that does not mess with visibility flag
* Add _clutter_actor_rerealize() to encapsulate a somewhat
tricky operation we were doing in a couple of places
* Do not realize/unrealize children in ClutterGroup,
ClutterActor already does it
* Do not realize impl by hand in clutter_stage_show(),
since showing impl already does that
* Do not unrealize in various dispose() methods, since
ClutterActor dispose implementation already does it
and chaining up is mandatory
* ClutterTexture uses COGL while unrealizable (before it's
added to a stage). Previously this breakage was affecting
ClutterActor because we had to allow realize outside
a stage. Move the breakage to ClutterTexture, by making
ClutterTexture just use COGL while not realized.
* Unrealize before we set parent to NULL in clutter_actor_unparent().
This means unrealize() implementations can get to the stage.
Because actors need the stage in order to detach from stage.
* Update clutter-actor-invariants.txt to reflect latest changes
* Remove explicit hide/unrealize from ClutterActor::dispose since
unparent already forces those
Instead just assert that unparent() occurred and did the right thing.
* Check whether parent implements unrealize before chaining up
Needed because ClutterGroup no longer has to implement unrealize.
* Perform unrealize in the default handler for the signal.
This allows non-containers that have children to work properly,
and allows containers to override how it's done.
* Add map/unmap virtual methods and set MAPPED flag on self and
children in there. This allows subclasses to hook map/unmap.
These are not signals, because notify::mapped is better for
anything it's legitimate for a non-subclass to do.

Bug 1513 - Allow passing in ClutterPickMode to
clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos()
At the moment, clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos() uses CLUTTER_PICK_ALL
internally to find an actor. It would be useful to allow passing in
ClutterPickMode to clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos(), so that the caller
can specify CLUTTER_PICK_REACTIVE as a criteria.
Bug 1516 - Does not withdraw toplevels correctly
clutter_stage_x11_hide() needs to use XWithdrawWindow(), not
XUnmapWindow().
As it stands now, if the window is already unmapped (say the WM has
minimized it), then the WM will not know that Clutter has closed the
window and will keep the window managed, showing it in the task list
and so forth.

Apparently, not everyone read the HACKING file, especially the
section about commit messages. This lead to some confusion with
regards to the acceptable (i.e. mandatory) format for commit
messages in Clutter. Let's clarify it a little bit before I start
enforcing it and reverting commits.
Bug 1561 - Bad code in clutter-alpha.c
The implementation of the easing modes equations followed closely
the JavaScript and ActionScript counterparts. Obviously, JS and AS
are not C-compatible, so later versions of gcc (4.4.0 for instance)
would complain about uninitialized variables and such. The code is
also obfuscated and hard to debug/understand.
For these reasons, the implementation should be unobfuscated and
sanitized.
A lockup was reported by fargoilas on #clutter and removing the server grab in
clutter_x11_texture_pixmap_sync_window fixed the problem.
We were doing an x server grab to guarantee that if the XGetWindowAttributes
request reported that our redirected window was viewable then we would also
be able to get a valid pixmap name. (the composite protocol says it's an
error to request a name for a window if it's not viewable) Without the grab
there would be a race condition.
Instead we now handle error conditions gracefully.
Three tests are now performed on the picked squares. First there is no
covering actor which is the same as the original test. Then there is a
hidden covering actor which should not affect the results. Finally
there is a covering actor with a clip set on it so that only actors
at the borders of the stage should be pickable.
The wrap mode sub-test inside the ClutterText layout cache test
unit has been broken by the recent changes inside the Text actor.
The sub-test itself might require tweaking.
The documentation for the ::cursor-event says that the signal
is emitted only when the cursor position changes. Right now it
is being emitted every time we ensure the cursor position during
the Text paint sequence.
The clutter_text_ensure_cursor_position() function should check
whether the stored cursor position has changed since the last
paint, and emit the ::cursor-event signal only when there has
been a change.
We only want to eschew the pango_layout_set_width() on editable,
single-line Text actors because they can "scroll" the PangoLayout.
This fixes the ellipsization on entries.
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.
Editable ClutterText will scroll when allocated less width than is
necessary to lay out the entire layout on a single line, so return 1 for
the minimum width in this case.
Approved by Emmanuele Bassi, fixes bug #1555.
