New virtual functions cannot go wherever they want, if we need to
preserve the ABI.
Also, the coding style should match the rest of ClutterActor and
Clutter's own coding style.
Added the implementation for clutter_actor_get_accessible, virtual
ClutterActor function, used to obtain the accessible object of
any ClutterActor.
As it is defined virtual, it would be possible to redefine it, so
any custom clutter actor could implement their accessibility object,
withouth relying totally on a accessibility implementation module.
See gtkiconview as example.

The ClutterActor API should have modifier methods for adding, removing
and retrieving Actions and Constraints using the ClutterActorMeta:name
property - mostly, for convenience.
By implementing the newly added support for custom animatable
properties, we can allow addressing action and constraint properties
from ClutterAnimation and clutter_actor_animate().
The Constraint base, abstract class should be used to implement Actor
modifiers that affect the way an actor is sized or positioned inside a
fixed layout manager.
ClutterAction is an abstract class that should be used as the ancestor
for objects that change how an actor behaves when dealing with events
coming from user input.
Whenever we are warning inside ClutterActor we prefer the actor's name
to its type, if the name is set. The current code is made less readable
by the use of the ternary operator:
priv->name != NULL ? priv->name : G_OBJECT_TYPE_NAME (self)
This looks like a job for a simple convenience function.
For internal use we should have a get_stage_internal() variant that
avoids type checks and calls to public functions. The implementation
is trivial enough, and it will avoid (scene graph depth + 1) type
checks and (scene graph depth) function calls.
In 125bded81 some comments were introduced to ClutterTexture
complaining that it can have a Cogl texture before being
realized. Clutter always assumes that the single GL context is current
so there is no need to wait until the actor is realized before setting
a texture. This patch replaces the comments with clarification that
this should not be a problem.
The patch also changes the documentation about the realized state in
various places to clarify that it is acceptable to create any Cogl
resources before the actor is realized.

The Actor's long description is a bit cluttered; it contains a section
on the actor's box semantics, on the transformation order and on the
event handling.
We should use <refsect2> tags to divide the Actor's description into
logically separated sections.
We should also add a section about the custom Scriptable properties that
ClutterActor defines, and the special handling of unit-based properties.
When emitting signals, one can mark arguments as being "static", ie an
indication this argument will not change during the signal emission.
This allows the signal marshalling code to create static GValues, in
this case not to copy the Color.

We decide whether the paint() should be a real paint or a paint in pick
mode depending on the global pick_mode value. Using G_UNLIKELY() on an
operation that most likely is going to be executed once every frame is
going to blow a lot of cache lines and frak with the CPU branch
prediction. Not good.
Add clutter_actor_has_allocation(), a method meant to be used when
deciding whether to call clutter_actor_get_allocation_box() or any
of its wrappers.
The get_allocation_box() method will, in case the allocation is invalid,
perform a costly re-allocation cycle to ensure that the returned box
is valid. The has_allocation() method is meant to be used if we have an
actor calling get_allocation_box() from outside the place where the
allocation is always guaranteed to be valid.

Somebody somewhere decided it would be ok to define 'y1' as a global
function in math.h thus condemning us to repeatedly making commits to
fix these obnoxious compiler warnings about aliasing.
When printing out the property value during a ClutterScript debug run we
generate the value's content using g_strdup_value_contents() - though we
do it unconditionally. The contents might not be printed (they most
likely won't, actually) and will be freed afterwards. This is
unnecessary: we can allocate the contents string after checking if we're
going to print out the debug note, thus avoiding the whole
allocation/free cycle unless strictly needed.
* Add new clutter_geometry_union(), because writing union intersection
is harder than it looks. Fixes two problems with the inline code in
clutter_stage_glx_add_redraw_clip().
1) The ->x and ->y of were reassigned to before using them to
compute the new width and height.
2) since ClutterGeometry has unsigned width, x + width is unsigned,
and comparison goes wrong if either rectangle has a negative
x + width. (We fixed width for GdkRectangle to be signed for GTK+-2.0,
this is a potent source of bugs.)
* Use in clutter_stage_glx_add_redraw_clip()
* Account for the case where the incoming rectangle is empty, and don't
end up with the stage being entirely redrawn.
* Account for the case where the stage already has a degenerate
width and don't end up with redrawing only the new rectangle and not
the rest of the stage.
The better fix here for the second two problems is to stop using a 0
width to mean the entire stage, but this should work for now.

The documentation and name of the get_transformation_matrix function
implies that 'matrix' is purely an out parameter. However it wasn't
initializing the matrix before calling the 'apply_transform' virtual
so it was basically just a wrapper for the virtual. The virtual
assumes the matrix parameter is in/out and applies the actor's
transformation on top of any existing transformations. This causes
unexpected semantics that are inconsistent with the documentation.
A new (internal only currently) API, _clutter_actor_queue_clipped_redraw
can be used to queue a redraw along with a clip rectangle in actor
coordinates. This clip rectangle propagates up to the stage and clutter
backend which may optionally use the information to optimize stage
redraws. The GLX backend in particular may scissor the next redraw to
the clip rectangle and use GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer to present the stage
subregion.
The intention is that any actors that can naturally determine the bounds
of updates should queue clipped redraws to reduce the cost of updating
small regions of the screen.
Notes:
» If GLX_MESA_copy_sub_buffer isn't available then the GLX backend
ignores any clip rectangles.
» queuing multiple clipped redraws will result in the bounding box of
each clip rectangle being used.
» If a clipped redraw has a height > 300 pixels then it's promoted into
a full stage redraw, so that the GPU doesn't end up blocking too long
waiting for the vsync to reach the optimal position to avoid tearing.
» Note: no empirical data was used to come up with this threshold so
we may need to tune this.
» Currently only ClutterX11TexturePixmap makes use of this new API. This
is done via a new "queue-damage-redraw" signal that is emitted when
the pixmap is updated. The default handler queues a clipped redraw
with the assumption that the pixmap is being painted as a rectangle
covering the actors transformed allocation. If you subclass
ClutterX11TexturePixmap and change how it's painted you now also
need to override the signal handler and queue your own redraw.
Technically this is a semantic break, but it's assumed that no one
is currently doing this.
This still leaves a few unsolved issues with regards to optimizing sub
stage redraws that need to be addressed in further work so this can only
be considered a stepping stone a this point:
» Because we have no reliable way to determine if the painting of any
given actor is being modified any optimizations implemented using
_clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip must be overridable by a
subclass, and technically must be opt-in for existing classes to avoid
a change in semantics. E.g. consider that a user connects to the paint
signal for ClutterTexture and paints a circle instead of a rectangle.
In this case any original logic to queue clipped redraws would be
incorrect.
» Currently only the implementation of an actor has enough information
with which to queue clipped redraws. E.g. It is not possible for
generic code in clutter-actor.c to queue a clipped redraw when hiding
an actor because actors have no way to report a "paint box". (remember
actors can draw outside their allocation and actors with depth may
also be projected outside of their allocation)
» The current plan is to add a actor_class->get_paint_cuboid()
virtual so actors can report a bounding cube for everything they
would draw in their current state and use that to queue clipped
redraws against the stage by projecting the paint cube into stage
coordinates.
» Our heuristics for promoting clipped redraws into full redraws to
avoid blocking the GPU while we wait for the vsync need improving:
» vsync issues aren't relevant for redirected/composited applications
so they should use different heuristics. In this case we instead
need to trade off the cost of blitting when using glXCopySubBuffer
vs promoting to a full redraw and flipping instead.

Since using addresses that might change is something that finally
the FSF acknowledge as a plausible scenario (after changing address
twice), the license blurb in the source files should use the URI
for getting the license in case the library did not come with it.
Not that URIs cannot possibly change, but at least it's easier to
set up a redirection at the same place.
As a side note: this commit closes the oldes bug in Clutter's bug

If the actor is an internal child of another actor then we should call
unparent() when destroying it, like clutter_actor_reparent() does;
otherwise we'll leak the actor, since the parent holds a reference to
it.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2009
Instead of shadowing these properties with different properties with the
same names on stage, actually use them. Behaviour should be identical,
except the minimum stage size can now be enforced by setting the
min-width/height properties as well as using the set_minimum_size
function.
Since the "internal" state is global, it will leak onto actors that you
didn't intend for it to, because it applies not just to the actors you
create, but also to any actors *they* create. Eg, if you have a dialog
box class, you might push/pop_internal around creating its buttons, so
that those buttons get marked as internal to the dialog box. But
ctx->internal_child will still be set during the *button*'s constructor
as well, and so, eg, the label and icon inside the button actor will
*also* be marked as internal children, even if that isn't what the
button class wanted.
The least intrusive change at this point is to make push_internal() and
pop_internal() two methods of the Actor class, and take a ClutterActor
pointer as the argument - thus moving the locality of the internal_child
counter to the Actor itself.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1990
Since get_paint_opacity() recurses through the hierarchy it might lead
to a lot of type checks while we walk the parent-child chain. We can
split the recursive function from the public entry point and perform the
type check just once.
This replaces code like this:
if (CLUTTER_ACTOR_IS_VISIBLE (self))
clutter_actor_queue_redraw (self);
with:
clutter_actor_queue_redraw (self);
clutter_actor_queue_redraw internally knows what can be optimized when
the actor is not visible, but it also knows that the queue_redraw signal
must always be sent in case a ClutterClone is cloning a hidden actor.
• Add the function name in the warning, since the text is the same in
both clutter_actor_raise() and clutter_actor_lower().
• If an actor has a name then prefer it to the type name.
Since we're allowing allocation cycles saying that calling
queue_relayout() inside an allocation cycle "is not allowed" is kind of
confusing. We should say that "it is not recommended".

The :opacity property is defined using a GParamSpecUchar. This usually
leads to issues with language bindings that don't have an 'unsigned
char' type and that need to explicitly handle the conversion between
G_TYPE_UCHAR and G_TYPE_INT or G_TYPE_UINT.
The property definition already specifies an interval size of [0, 255]
on the values; more importantly, GObject already implicitly transforms
between G_TYPE_UCHAR and G_TYPE_UINT (the GValue transformation
functions are registered at type system initialization time) so
switching between a GParamSpecUchar and a GParamSpecUint should not be
an ABI break.
I have tested a simple program using the opacity property before and
after the change and I cannot see any run-time warnings related to this
issue.
UProf is a small library that aims to help applications/libraries provide
domain specific reports about performance. It currently provides high
precision timer primitives (rdtsc on x86) and simple counters, the ability
to link statistics between optional components at runtime and makes report
generation easy.
This adds initial accounting for:
- Total mainloop time
- Painting
- Picking
- Layouting
- Idle time
The timing done by uprof is of wall clock time. It's not based on stochastic
samples we simply sample a counter at the start and end. When dealing with
the complexities of GPU drivers and with various kinds of IO this form of
profiling can be quite enlightening as it will be able to represent where
your application is blocking unlike tools such as sysprof.
To enable uprof accounting you must configure Clutter with --enable-profile
and have uprof-0.2 installed from git://git.moblin.org/uprof
If you want to see a report of statistics when Clutter applications exit you
should export CLUTTER_PROFILE_OUTPUT_REPORT=1 before running them.
Just a final word of caution; this stuff is new and the manual nature of
adding uprof instrumentation means it is prone to some errors when modifying
code. This just means that when you question strange results don't rule out
a mistake in the instrumentation. Obviously though we hope the benfits out
weigh e.g. by focusing on very key stats and by having automatic reporting.
Currently, ClutterActor detects a relayout cycle (an actor causing a
relayout to be queued from within an allocate() function) and aborts
after printing out a warning. This might be a little bit too anal
retentive, and it currently breaks GTK+ embedding inside clutter-gtk
so we should probably relax the behaviour a bit. Now we just emit the
warning but we still go ahead with the relayout.

ClutterActor checks, when destroying and reparenting, if the parent
actor implements the Container interface, and automatically calls the
remove() method to perform a clean removal.
Actors implementing Container, though, might have internal children;
that is, children that are not added through the Container API. It is
already possible to iterate through them using the Container API to
avoid breaking invariants - but calling clutter_actor_destroy() on
these children (even from the Container implementation, and thus outside
of Clutter's control) will either lead to leaks or to segmentation
faults.
Clutter needs a way to distinguish a clutter_actor_set_parent() done on
an internal child from one done on a "public" child; for this reason, a
push/pop pair of functions should be available to Actor implementations
to mark the section where they wish to add internal children:
➔ clutter_actor_push_internal ();
...
clutter_actor_set_parent (child1, parent);
clutter_actor_set_parent (child2, parent);
...
➔ clutter_actor_pop_internal ();
The set_parent() call will automatically set the newly added
INTERNAL_CHILD private flag on each child, and both
clutter_actor_destroy() and clutter_actor_unparent() will check for the
flag before deciding whether to call the Container's remove method.
ClutterActorBox should have an interpolate() method that allows to
compute the intermediate values between two states, given a progress
value, e.g.:
clutter_actor_box_interpolate (start, end, alpha, &result);
Another utility method, useful for layout managers, is a modifier
that clamps the members of the actor box to the nearest integer
value.
Some actor implementation might avoid imposing any layout on their
children. The Actor base class usually assumes some sort of layout
management is in place, so it will queue relayouts when, for instance,
an actor is shown or is hidden. If the parent of the actor does not
impose any layout, though, showing or hiding one of its children will
not affect the layout of the others.
An example of this kind of container is ClutterGroup.
By adding a new Actor flag, CLUTTER_ACTOR_NO_LAYOUT, and by making
the Group actor set it on itself, the Actor base class can now decide
whether or not to queue a relayout. The flag is not meant to be used
by application code, and should only be set when implementing a new
container.

clutter_actor_get_preferred_width/height currently caches only one size
requests, for a given height / width.
It's common for a layout manager to call get_preferred_width with 2
different heights during the same allocation cycle. Typically once in
the size request, once in the allocation. If
clutter_actor_get_preferred_width is called
alternatively with 2 different for_height, the cache is totally
inefficient, and we end up always querying the actor size even
when the actor does not need a re-allocation.

Every actor should have a property for retrieving (and setting) the
text direction.
The text direction is used to provide a consisten behaviour in both
left-to-right and right-to-left languages. For instance, ClutterText
should perform key navigation following text direction. Layout
managers should also take into account text direction to derive the
right packing order for their children.
cogl_clip_push, and cogl_clip_push_window_rect which are now deprecated were
used in various places internally so this just switches to using the
replacement functions.
If an actor calls directly or indirectly clutter_actor_queue_relayout()
on itself from within the allocate() implementation it will cause a
relayout cycle. This is usually a condition that should be checked by
ClutterActor and we should emit a warning if it is verified.
ClutterActor should check whether the current instance is being
destroyed and avoid performing operations like:
• queueing redraws
• queueing relayouts
It should also warn if the actor is being parented to an actor
currently being destroyed.
When showing a warning in the state checks we perform to verify that
the invariants are maintained when showing, mapping and realizing, we
should also print out the name of the actor failing the checks. If the
actor has no name, the GType name should be used as a fallback.
When an actor is hidden, the parent actor is not required to
size request or allocate it. (ClutterGroup does, but, for example,
NbtkBoxLayout doesn't.) This means that the
needs_width_request/needs_height_request/needs_allocate can be
stale when we go to show it again - they are set for the actor
but not the parent. Explicitly setting them to FALSE avoids
clutter_actor_relayout() improperly short-circuiting.

ClutterClone bases its preferred size on the preferred size of

In order for this to work, we need to have notification when

It is possible to unset the size of an actor specified with set_width()
and set_height() by using:
clutter_actor_set_size (actor, -1, -1);
Which works by unsetting the :min-*-set and the :natural-*-set properties.
Calling set_width(-1) and set_height(-1) separately, though, doesn't work
thus implicitly breaking the assumption that set_size() is nothing more
than set_width()+set_height(). This was obviously due to the face that
pre-1.0 set_width() and set_height() took an unsigned integer as an
argument.
ClutterActor parses positional and dimensional properties with a
custom deserializer. We need to:
- handle G_TYPE_INT64, the default integer type for JSON-GLib
- use G_TYPE_FLOAT for properties, since Actor switched to it
for the pixel-based ones
This makes ClutterScript work again.
The "catch all" warning for a the mapped invariant violation is too
generic: it doesn't tell you why the invariant was broken in case
we are trying to map an unparented actor - e.g. through a Clone.
The vertex that should be used by the apply_relative_transform
is the one passed in as const, and the result should be placed
inside the non-const ClutterVertext. Currently, we are using
the latter, and thus the function is completely useless.
It would be useful inside a custom actor's paint function to be able to
tell if this is a primary paint call, or if we are in fact painting on
behalf of a clone.
In Mutter we have an optimization not to paint occluded windows; this is
desirable for the windows per se, to conserve bandwith to the card, but
if something like an application switcher is using clones of these windows,
they will not get painted either; currently we have no way of
differentiating between the two.

The clutter_actor_get_allocation_coords() is not used, and since
the switch to floats in the Actor's API, it returns exactly what
the get_allocation_box() returns.
Currently, the transformation matrix for an actor is constructed
from scenegraph-related accessors. An actor, though, can call COGL
API to add new transformations inside the paint() implementation,
for instance:
static void
my_foo_paint (ClutterActor *a)
{
...
cogl_translate (-scroll_x, -scroll_y, 0);
...
}
Unfortunately these transformations will be completely ignored by
the scenegraph machinery; for instance, getting the actor-relative
coordinates from event coordinates is going to break badly because
of this.
In order to make the scenegraph aware of the potential of additional
transformations, we need a ::apply_transform() virtual function. This
vfunc will pass a CoglMatrix which can be used to apply additional
operations:
static void
my_foo_apply_transform (ClutterActor *a, CoglMatrix *m)
{
CLUTTER_ACTOR_CLASS (my_foo_parent_class)->apply_transform (a, m);
...
cogl_matrix_translate (m, -scroll_x, -scroll_y, 0);
...
}
The ::paint() implementation will be called with the actor already
using the newly applied transformation matrix, as expected:
static void
my_foo_paint (ClutterActor *a)
{
...
}
The ::apply_transform() implementations *must* chain up, so that the
various transformations of each class are preserved. The default
implementation inside ClutterActor applies all the transformations
defined by the scenegraph-related accessors.
Actors performing transformations inside the paint() function will
continue to work as previously.
The clutter_actor_pick() function just emits the ::pick signal
on the actor. Nobody should be using it, since the paint() method
is already context sensitive and will result in a ::pick emission
by itself. The clutter_actor_pick() is just confusing things.
The clutter_context_get_default() function is private, but shared
across Clutter. For this reason, it should be prefixed by '_' so
that the symbol is hidden from the shared object.
ActorBox should have methods for easily extracting the X and Y
coordinates of the origin, and the width and height separately.
These methods will make it easier for high-level language bindings
to manipulate ActorBox instances and avoid the Geometry type.
The Vertex and ActorBox boxed types are meant to be used across
the API, but are fairly difficult to bind. Their memory management
is also unclear, and has to go through the indirection of
g_boxed_copy() and g_boxed_free().
We can't short-circuit the emission of ::queue-redraw for not-visible
actors, since ClutterClone uses that signal to know when things need
to be redrawn.
Calling clutter_actor_queue_redraw() out of clutter_actor_real_map() /
clutter_actor_real_unmap() was causing the flag state to get set
incorrectly from _clutter_actor_set_enable_paint_unmapped(), because
a paint queueing a redraw was not expected.
Moving queuing the redraw to clutter_actor_hide()/show() fixes this, and
also fixes a problem where showing a child of a cloned actor wouldn't
cause the clone to be repainted.

Clutter short-circuits painting when an actor's opacity is
zero. However if the actor is being painted from a ClutterClone then
it will be painted using the clone's opacity instead so the test was
broken.
The mapping and unmapping of the X11 stage implementation is
a bit bong. It's asynchronous, for starters, when it really
can avoid it by tracking the state internally.
The ordering of the map/unmap sequence is also broken with
respect to the resizing.
By tracking the state internally into StageX11 we can safely
remove the MapNotify and UnmapNotify X event handling.
In theory, we should use _NET_WM_STATE a lot more, and reuse
the X11 state flags for fullscreening as well.
Sometimes it is useful to be able to track changes in the allocation
flags, like the absolute origin, inside children of a container.
Using the notify::allocation signal is not enough, in these cases, so
we need a specific signal that gives us both the allocation box and the
allocation flags.
Instead of passing a boolean value, the ::allocate virtual function
should use a bitmask and flags. This gives us room for expansion
without breaking API/ABI, and allows to encode more information to
the allocation process instead of just changes of absolute origin.
Units as they have been implemented since Clutter 0.4 have always been
misdefined as "logical distance unit", while they were just pixels with
fractionary bits.
Units should be reworked to be opaque structures to hold a value and
its unit type, that can be then converted into pixels when Clutter needs
to paint or compute size requisitions and perform allocations.
The previous API should be completely removed to avoid collisions, and
a new type:
ClutterUnits
should be added; the ability to install GObject properties using
ClutterUnits should be maintained.
If the application code calls for destruction of an actor we need
to make sure that the actor is unrealized before running the dispose
sequence; otherwise, we might trigger an assertion failure on composite
actors.
All the underlying implementation and the public entry points have
been switched to floats; the only missing bits are the Actor properties
that deal with positioning and sizing.
This usually means a major pain when dealing with GValues and varargs
functions. While GValue will warn you when dealing with the wrong
conversions, varags will simply die an horrible (and hard to debug)
death via segfault. Nothing much to do here, except warn people in the
release notes and hope for the best.
The allocate_available_size() method is a convenience method in
the same spirit as allocate_preferred_size(). While the latter
will allocate the preferred size of an actor regardless of the
available size provided by the actor's parent -- and thus it's
suitable for simple fixed layout managers like ClutterGroup -- the
former will take into account the available size provided by the
parent and never allocate more than that; it is, thus, suitable
for simple fluid layout managers.
If we are short-circuiting the paint when the opacity is zero we still
need to clear the queued_redraw flag otherwise it won't be possible to
queue another redraw of the actor until something else has caused a
paint first.

[actor_paint] Ensure painting is a NOP for actors with opacity = 0
Make backface culling work with vertex buffers
Since it is convenient to use geometry with an opacity of 0 for input only
purposes it's a worthwhile optimization to avoid submitting anything
for such actors while painting.
The verify_map_state() internal method is conditionally compiled
if we have CLUTTER_ENABLE_DEBUG set; for this reason, all calls to
that method should be made conditional.
When destroying a top-level actor we can actually relax the verification
of the map state, since it might be fully asynchronous and we might not
re-enter inside the mainloop in time to receive the unmap notification.
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.
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.
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 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.

If we need to check that the layout sequence is correct in
terms of order of execution and with respect to caching, then
having a CLUTTER_DEBUG_LAYOUT debug flag would make things
easier.
Clutter was complaining about netural width smaller than minimum widths
(differences around 0.0005) by using an epsilon value of 1e-4 for these
floating point comparisons, these warnings have now been silenced.

A common use of setting clip is to keep an actor inside its allocation;
right now to do this you have to set up a callback on notify::allocation.
There's no overhead added by sticking another bit in ClutterActor
clip-to-allocation that will clip painting to the allocation if set.

Bug 1499 - clutter_actor_notify_if_geometry_changed causes sync
layout cycles
Whenever clutter_actor_set_{width,height,x,y,size...} is used, extra
synchronous size requests are triggered in
clutter_actor_notify_if_geometry_changed.
If the get_preferred_width() and get_preferred_height() implementations
are particularly costly (e.g. ClutterText) this will result in a performance
impact.
To avoid excessive allocation or requisition cycles we use the
cached values and flags. If we don't have an allocation, we assume
that we need to notify all the properties; if we don't have a size
requisition we notify only width and height; finally, if we do have
a valid allocation we notify only on the changed values.
Add missing (out) annotations to the doc comments for ClutterActor methods
with multiple return values.
Fix the definition of clutter_actor_get_allocation_vertices() to be
consistent with the declaration and have verts[4] rather than verts[].x

The ClutterFixed type and symbols are now equivalent to the native
float type. In order to remove ambiguity and clean up the code, any
usage of ClutterFixed and relative macros has been removed.
Since the CoglMatrix type was added for supporting texture matrices recently
it made sense to be consistent accross the Cogl API and use the Cogl type
over the GL style GLfloat m[16] arrays.
Add annotations such as (transfer-none) (out) (element-type ClutterActor),
and so forth to the doc comments as appropriate.
The annotations added here are a combination of the annotations previously
in gir-repository for Clutter and annotations found in a review of all
return values with that were being parsed with a transfer of "full".

Bug 1167 - clutter_effect_rotate improperly clamps negative angles
The rotation angle properties had a minimum value of 0.0 but the
rotation works fine with a negative value so the limitation is
unnecessary. This makes rotation using the ClutterAnimation API more
flexible because it was previously not possible to rotate
counter-clockwise from the 0.0 position.
When rendering a clone before this commit the clone's opacity was
combined with the opacity of the source but this is not usually the
desired effect. Instead the clone's opacity (combined with its
parents) should completely override the opacity of the source.
The current code that handles the invariant that the new parent
of an actor needing a layout should also be queued for relayout
is hitting the short-circuiting we do in the queue_relayout()
method.
In order to fix this we can forcibly set the actor to need a
width/height request and an allocation; then we queue a relayout
on the parent.

Final bit of integration between ClutterActor and Pango: a simple
method for creating a PangoLayout, pre-filled with text and ready
to be rendered using cogl_pango_render_layout().
This should make writing new Actors rendering custom text in their
paint() implementation easy and reliable.
Bug 1349 - Using the anchor point to set the scale center is messy
The branch adds an extra center point for scaling which can be used
for example to set a scale about the center without affecting the
position of the actor.
The scale center can be specified as a unit offset from the origin or
as a gravity. If specified as a gravity it will be stored as a
fraction of the actor's size so that the position will track when the
actor changes size.
The anchor point and rotation centers have been modified so they can
be set with a gravity in the same way. However, only the Z rotation
exposes a property to set using a gravity because the other two
require a Z coordinate which doesn't make sense to interpret as a
fraction of the actor's width or height.

The documentation has been updated to reflect the fact that the anchor
point will move when the actor changes size if it was specified using
a gravity value. The new functions for setting the scale center and z
rotation gravity are also documented.
Currently only the Z axis rotation center can be set using a gravity
but the other rotations also store their center as an AnchorCoord for
consistency. Specifying the center as a gravity makes less sense for
the other axes because the actors have no size along the Z axis.
The rotation angles are now stored as gdoubles and the fixed point *x
entry points have been removed.
The Z rotation can now be set with a gravity center using the
following new function:
void clutter_actor_set_z_rotation_from_gravity (ClutterActor *self,
gdouble angle,
ClutterGravity gravity);
This sets the center point from which the scaling will occur. This can
be used insetad of the anchor point to avoid moving the actor. Like
the anchor point, it can be specified as either a coordinate in units
or a gravity enum.
To set the center you can use two new variants of set_scale:
clutter_actor_set_scale_full (ClutterActor *self,
gdouble scale_x,
gdouble scale_y,
int center_x,
int center_y);
or
clutter_actor_set_scale_with_gravity (ClutterActor *self,
gdouble scale_x,
gdouble scale_y,
ClutterGravity gravity);
The ClutterFixed variants of the set_scale functions have been removed
and the scale value is now always stored as a double.
This makes it so when the anchor point is set using a gravity enum
then the anchor point moves when the actor changes size. A new
property is added for the anchor point gravity. If the anchor point is
set from gravity then the position in units can also be retreived with
the regular API.
A new union type is used to store the anchor point with helper
accessor functions. The hope is these can be reused for the scale and
rotation center points.
Since we allow overriding the paint() implementation through the
::paint signal to change the way an actor is being painted, we
should also allow overriding the pick() implementation using a
::pick signal.
Since a pick is really a paint operation, we can safely get
the allocation box, instead of using get_width() and get_height().
This should help cutting down the function calls. If we were
feeling adventurous, we could even use the allocation directly
from the private data structure.
Based on a patch by Gwenole Beauchesne <gbeauchesne@splitted-desktop.org>
If an actor is not set as visible, or if it is in a section of
the scenegraph that it's set as not visible (e.g. one of the
parents is not visible) then we should not queue a redraw for
it.
Patch based on code from Michael Boccara <michael@graphtech.co.il>
The stage-with/height-percentage converters had been broken by
the multiple-stages support of Clutter 0.8. They are also made
useless by the fact that Units are now floating point values.
The millimeters and typographic points converters also depended
on the default stage, but they can be reworked to use the default
DPI coming from the default Backend instead.
To deal with all the corner cases that couldn't be scripted a number of patches
were written for the remaining 10% of the effort.
Note: again no API changes were made in Clutter, only in Cogl.
This is the result of running a number of sed and perl scripts over the code to
do 90% of the work in converting from 16.16 fixed to single precision floating
point.
Note: A pristine cogl-fixed.c has been maintained as a standalone utility API
so that applications may still take advantage of fixed point if they
desire for certain optimisations where lower precision may be acceptable.
Note: no API changes were made in Clutter, only in Cogl.
Overview of changes:
- Within clutter/* all usage of the COGL_FIXED_ macros have been changed to use
the CLUTTER_FIXED_ macros.
- Within cogl/* all usage of the COGL_FIXED_ macros have been completly stripped
and expanded into code that works with single precision floats instead.
- Uses of cogl_fixed_* have been replaced with single precision math.h
alternatives.
- Uses of COGL_ANGLE_* and cogl_angle_* have been replaced so we use a float for
angles and math.h replacements.
Many use cases for clonning an actor don't require running a shader on the
resulting clone image and so requiring FBOs in these cases is overkill and
in-efficient as it requires kicking and synchronizing a render for each clone.
This approach basically just uses the paint function of another actor to
implement the painting for the clone actor with some fiddling of the model-
view matrix to scale according to the different allocation box sizes of
each of the actors.
A simple unit test called test-actors2 was added for testing.
ClutterUnits should not be used interchangeably as, or with
ClutterFixed values. ClutterUnits should also not be assumed
to be integers.
This commit fixes the last few improper usages of ClutterUnit
values, and adds a CLUTTER_UNITS_FORMAT macro for safely printing
ClutterUnit values with printf().
