The animation mode parameters and properties are now slightly
anonymous unsigned longs, so we need to clarify in the documentation
that the user should either pass a ClutterAnimationMode value or
the result of registering an alpha function.
The animation mode symbolic id might come from the AnimationMode
enumeration or from the clutter_alpha_register_*() family of
functions. For this reason, we should use a gulong instead of
ClutterAnimationMode whenever we have an "animation mode" parameter
or property.
* animatable-iface:
[docs] Add ClutterAnimatable to the API reference
Add license notice to ClutterAnimation files
[animation] Use ClutterAnimatable inside Animation
[animation] Add ClutterAnimatable
Instead of limiting the use of ClutterAnimation to ClutterActor
instances, relax the constraint to include all GObject classes.
ClutterAnimation is not using actor-specific API, since it is
only using properties.
The only actor-based API is the clutter_actor_animate() family
of functions.
ClutterAnimation should check if the object is implementing the
Animatable interface, and if so delegate to it the computation
of the value along the interval initial and final value, depending
on the progress.
If the computation of the interval value depending on the progress
was not successful, ClutterInterval::compute_value() should return
this information to the caller.
The following functions are fixed:
clutter_animation_set_actor
clutter_animation_set_timeline
clutter_animation_set_alpha
This is related to bug 1392 which discusses the problem for
behaviour_set_alpha.
It previously attempted to set the mode on the alpha using
clutter_animation_set_mode_internal, but this was setting the mode on
priv->alpha. At that point in the code priv->alpha is always NULL.
clutter_animation_set_mode_internal now takes a parameter to specify
which alpha to modify.
Bug 1014 - Clutter Animation API Improvements
* clutter/Makefile.am:
* clutter/clutter.h: Update the build
* clutter/clutter-types.h: Add AnimationMode, an enumeration
for easing functions.
* clutter/clutter-alpha.[ch]: Add the :mode property to
control the function bound to an Alpha instance using an
enumeration value. Also add six new alpha functions:
- ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out
- sine-in, sine-out, sine-in-out
* clutter/clutter-deprecated.h: Deprecate the #defines for
the alpha functions. They will be replaced by entries in the
ClutterAnimationMode.
* clutter/clutter-interval.[ch]: Add ClutterInterval, an
object for defining, validating and computing an interval
between two values.
* clutter/clutter-animation.[ch]: Add ClutterAnimation, an
object responsible for animation the properties of a single
actor along an interval of values. ClutterAnimation memory
management is automatic. A simple wrapper method for
ClutterActor is provided:
clutter_actor_animate()
which will create, or update, an animation for the passed
actor.
* clutter/clutter-debug.h:
* clutter/clutter-main.c: Add a new 'animation' debug note.
* clutter/clutter-script.c: Clean up the alpha functions
whitelist, and add the new functions.
* doc/reference/clutter/Makefile.am:
* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-sections.txt: Update the
API reference.
* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation.xml: Renamed to
doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation-tutorial.xml to
avoid clashes with the ClutterAnimation section.
* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.sgml: Renamed to
doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.xml, as it was an XML
file and not a SGML file.
* tests/Makefile.am:
* tests/interactive/Makefile.am:
* tests/interactive/test-animation.c:
* tests/interactive/test-easing.c: Add two tests for the
new simple animation API and the easing functions.
* tests/interactive/test-actors.c:
* tests/interactive/test-behave.c:
* tests/interactive/test-depth.c:
* tests/interactive/test-effects.c:
* tests/interactive/test-layout.c:
* tests/interactive/test-multistage.c:
* tests/interactive/test-paint-wrapper.c:
* tests/interactive/test-rotate.c:
* tests/interactive/test-scale.c:
* tests/interactive/test-texture-quality.c:
* tests/interactive/test-threads.c:
* tests/interactive/test-viewport.c: Update interactive tests
to the deprecations and new alpha API.
