We now have ClutterTouchpadPinchEvent and ClutterTouchpadSwipeEvent,
each bringing the necessary info for the specific gesture. Each
of these events is defined by begin/update/end/cancel phases.
These events have been also made to propagate down/up the pointer
position, just like scroll and button events do.
When binding models to actors to map items to children we don't often
need the full control of a function; in many cases we just need to
specify the type of the child we want to construct and the properties
on both the item and the child that we want to bind.
We should provide a simple convenience function that does all this for
us.
The whole of ClutterBackend is a final/protected type, so having a bunch
of instance fields and an instance private data structure is redundant
at best, and less efficient at worst.
GCC has some optimization for the inclusion guard, but they only work if
the check is the outermost one.
We're fairly inconsistent because of historical reasons, so we should
ensure that we follow the same pattern in every public header.
Use double precision floats for the intermediate computations, to avoid
loss of precision, and don't convert too integer when unnecessary, to
avoid rounding errors.
It can be useful to bind the children list to set of objects inside a
GListModel implementation; the GListModel stores the objects, and every
time the model changes, a function is called that maps each object in
the model to a newly created ClutterActor, which is then added as a
child. This API, along with the property binding one inside GObject,
allows automatic creation of views based on object models that update
themselves without manual intervention.
The model API was an ad hoc addition to Clutter, back in the 0.6 days,
that was needed because GLib did not offer anything of sort, and the
only model-like storage was inside GTK+. The API design was heavily
based on GtkTreeModel and friends, with column-based collections of
generic data.
Since then, the model API inside Clutter has not really been integrated
in the core API; on the other hand, GIO has grown a model API, and it's
seeing more use in the platform.
This means that the ClutterModel API should finally be deprecated, and
we should move code to the GListModel API inside GIO.
Like we do for X11, GDK, MacOS, and Windows, the Wayland backend can be
autodetected. We should only fail if the Wayland support was explicitly
asked at configure time, but the dependencies were not satisfied.
The gtk-doc reference is woefully maintained, and trying to actually
generate it resulted in some extremely outdated and poor documentation.
If somebody wants to actually renew the docs, just revert this commit,
otherwise, I'm not going to bother.
The elementary guys would like this as an API, and I don't see any
reason to refuse -- this is quite nice shadow painting code :)
For some reason, gobject-introspection can't seem to cope with
MetaWindowShape. I'll look into it a bit later, but for now, mark
the function it has trouble with as (skip).
It seems that when translated, paint_offset and actor_offset will always
be the same, so our translation of the clip group won't work. For now,
until I figure out what's going on here, just use the painting offset,
since that what seems to make sense to me.
I didn't write this code, though, so I don't know why the actor's
allocation was involved in this computation at all.
I tested briefly with clones (magnifier, manual cloning through the
looking glass) and couldn't find any other artifacts, so I'm going to do
this for now.
A much less hacky version of maximize / unmaximize is reimplemented
in terms of this, but it could also eventually be used for fullscreen /
unfullscreen, and tile / untile.
The comment explains it better, but Clutter tries to be smart and
repaint actors when their allocations change. Since the window group's
allocation changes when windows move around, this means that moving a
window will always cause a full-stage repaint, which is super slow.
Hack around this for now.
While nothing will completely fix X11's artifacts, this tends to look a
bit better, *especially* with mask textures that have black at the
edges (which are most of them).
It's also faster for GPUs to manage.
The only time we ever execute this code is when we're minimizing or
hiding a window, in which case we should respect stacking order.
This fixes weird "bugs" where windows from the same app magically pop up
over other windows.
We should not be setting random output properties like this.
Use the function we just introduced to only set the underscan flag when
it's actually supported.
So that clients such as the control center can decide to hide an
underscanning checkbutton when the output does not support it.
Support in the KMS / native backend to come later...
This is an extremely niche feature, and conflicts with the rest of our
interface being consistent about not allowing resizing while tiled or
maximized.
A window may be hidden even if not minimized itself, for instance
when an ancestor is minimized. As meta_window_focus() will refuse
to actually focus the window in that case, don't pick it in the first
place.
