The introspection scanner has become slightly more annoying, in the hope
that people start fixing their annotations. As it turns out, it was the
right move.
The ClutterCanvas content implementation should be used instead, to
avoid stringing along the ClutterTexture API and implementation.
This change requires some minor surgery, as the deprecated section
already contains an header for the previously deprecated methods; plus,
we don't want to deprecate clutter_cairo_set_source_color(). This means
creating a new header to be used for Cairo-related API.
I can't think of any reason why it would do this and there's no
comment explaining it so let's just remove it. The global fog state
has been removed in Cogl 2.0 so it will cause problems later.

Some of the Clutter code was using GL types for the primitive types
such as GLint and GLubyte and then passing these to Cogl. This doesn't
make much sense because the Cogl functions directly take native C
types. This patch just replaces them with either a native C type or a
glib type.
Some of the cogl conformance tests are trying to directly call GL for
example to test creating a foreign texture. These tests have been
changed to manually define the GL enum values instead of relying on a
GL header to define them.
This is necessary because Cogl may soon stop including a GL header
from its public headers.

The show and hide implementation inside ClutterStage ended up being
recursive, and the hide implementation would actually show the children
of the stage unconditionally.
Whoopsie.
ClutterActor has a background-color property, now; we should use it for
the Stage, re-implement the color property in terms of background-color.
and deprecate the Stage property.
State changes on the Stage are currently deferred to the windowing
system backends, but the code is generally the same, and it should
be abstracted neatly inside the Stage class itself.
There's also the extra caveat for backends that state changes on a
Stage must also emit a ClutterEvent of type CLUTTER_STAGE_STATE, a
requirement that needlessly complicates the backend code.
The only actor that results in a mix of the old Container API and the
new Actor API is ClutterStage. By inheritance, a Stage is a Group, but
we don't want it to behave like a Group - as it already overrides most
of the Actor API, and the reason why it was made as a Group in the
first place was convenience for adding/removing children.
Given that touching Group to make it aware of the new Actor API has
rapidly devolved into a struggle between a Demiurge that tries to
avoid breakage and a Chaos that finds new and interesting ways to
break ClutterGroup, let's declare API bankruptcy here and now.
ClutterStage should override ClutterContainer methods, and use the
layout management of ClutterFixedLayout as the proper class that it
was meant to be ages ago. Let ClutterGroup rot in pieces.
Now that we reinstated Group to its "former glory", we need to ensure
that applications using the deprecated containers with the new DOM API
in ClutterActor can actually work - or, at least, not break horribly.
This actually means making sure that ClutterStage and ClutterGroup can
cope with the DOM, while retaining their old implementations, as well as
their bizarre idiosyncrasies and their utter, utter brokenness.
Instead of chaining up, given that we want to bypass chaining up and
just set the allocation. This also allows us to bail out of the
overridden allocate vfunc check, given that we want the default Actor
behaviour to apply - including eventual layout manager delegates.
The ::redraw virtual function was a throwback from olden times, and has
been thoroughly replaced by the equivalent vfunc on the StageWindow
interface. We can safely remove it, now, and simplify the flow of the
redraw code inside ClutterStage.
The depth cueing through GL fog has been broken for a long while, now.
The fog-related API in Clutter is ridiculously limited, and harks back
to simpler times; the ClutterFog structure is not enough to express all
the GL fog machinery, and required application code to connect to the
Stage's paint implementation and drop into Cogl directly.
Additionally, the fixed pipeline fog machinery in GL simply does not
work with premultiplied alpha, unless you use a shader - and in that
case it would only work for textures. Let's deprecate it, and just
don't do anything if somebody has the brilliant idea of setting the
:use-fog property to TRUE.
We still ship clutter_get_show_fps() and clutter_get_debug_enabled() as
public entry points. Yet another case of missing API review prior to the
1.0 release, so really the bucket stops around my desk.
Let's deprecate these two useless functions, and reduce the API
footprint of Clutter.
The default stage was a neat concept when we started Clutter out,
somewhere in the Jurassic era; a singleton instance that gets created at
initialization time, and remains the same for the entire duration of the
process.
Worked well enough when Clutter was a small library meant to be used to
write fullscreen media browsers, but since the introduction of multiple
stages, and Clutter being used to create all sorts of applications, the
default stage is just a vestigial remainder of that past, like an
appendix; something that complicates the layout of the code and
introduces weird behaviour, so that you notice its existence only when
something goes wrong.
Some platforms we do support, though, only have one framebuffer, so it
makes sense for them to have only one stage.
At this point, the only sane thing to do is to go through the same code
paths on all platforms, and that code path is the stage instance
creation and initialization — i.e. clutter_stage_new() (or
g_object_new() with CLUTTER_TYPE_STAGE).
For platforms that support multiple stages, nothing has changed: the stage
created by clutter_stage_get_default() will be set as the default one;
if nobody calls it, the default stage is never created, and it just
lives on as a meaningless check.
For platforms that only support one stage, clutter_stage_new() and
clutter_stage_get_default() will behave exactly the same the first time
they are called: both will create a stage, and set it as the default.
Calling clutter_stage_new() a second time is treated as a programmer
error, and will result in Clutter aborting. This is a behavioural change
because the existing behaviour or creating a new ClutterStage instance
with the same ClutterStageWindow private implementation is, simply put,
utterly braindamaged and I should have *never* had written it, and I
apologize for it. In my defence, I didn't know any better at the time.
This is the first step towards the complete deprecation of
clutter_stage_get_default() and clutter_stage_is_default(), which will
come later.
The ClutterGeometry type is a poor substitute of cairo_rectangle_int_t,
with unsigned integers for width and height to complicate matters.
Let's remove the internal usage of ClutterGeometry and switch to the
rectangle type from Cairo.

This implicitly intersects any clip for redrawing with the stage window
bounds. Without this we were sometimes trying to set huge off screen
scissors leading to undefined clipping results.

When picking we need to disable dithering to be sure that the hardware
will not modify the colors we use as actor identifiers. Clutter was
manually calling glEnable/Disable GL_DITHER to handle this, but that was
a layering violation since Cogl is intended to handle all interactions
with OpenGL. Since we are now striving for GL vs GLES to be a runtime
choice we need to remove this last direct usage of GL from Clutter so it
doesn't have to be linked with GL at build time.

This adds a public function to get the bounds of the current clipped
redraw on a stage. This should only be called while the stage is being
painted. The function diverts to a virtual function on the
ClutterStageWindow implementation. If the function isn't implemented
or it returns FALSE then the entire stage is reported. The clip bounds
are in integer pixel coordinates in the stage's coordinate space.

It is possible, by calling clutter_set_motion_events_enabled() prior to
the creation of any stage, to control the per-actor motion event
delivery flag on each newly created stage. Since we deprecated the
global accessor functions in favour of the per-Stage ones, we need to
remove the call to clutter_get_motion_events_enabled() inside the
ClutterStage instance initialization, and replace it with an internal
function.
This code will go away when we can finally break API and remove the
deprecated functions.
Complete the quest of commit bc548dc862
by making the ClutterStage methods for controlling the per-actor motion
and crossing event delivery public, and deprecating the global ones.
Since eef9078f the translation of the camera away from the z=zero
plane was hardcoded at 50 which is approximately half way between the
default z_near and z_far values. This ended up with quite a small
distance in user-space coordinates to the far plane with the default
stage size and this was causing test-texture-quality to clip the actor
early.
This patch makes it try to calculate a reasonable value for the
position of the z=0 plane as well as a value for z_far so we maximize
the space in between the z=0 plane and the near plane and we have a
predictable amount of space behind the stage before hitting the far
clipping plane, while considering the trade off of loosing depth
precision by pushing the far plane too far back relative to the near
plane.
With the default fov of 60° it's not possible to use the stage size to
define the gap in-front of the stage plane; only ~87% of the stage size
is possible as an upper limit. We make 85% of the stage_height available
assuming you have a fov of 60°. We consistently provide 10 times the
stage height of space behind the stage regardless of the fov.
It seems worth noting here that we went around in circles a few times
over how to calculate the gaps since there are a number of trade offs to
consider and they also affect the complexity of the solution. In the end
we went for simplicity but commented the issues well enough hopefully so
we can develop a more elaborate solution if we ever have a use-case.

Since eef9078f ClutterStage updates the aspect ratio of the
perspective matrix whenever the size of the stage changes. This meant
that if an application tries to set its own perspective matrix then
part of it would get overridden. It's not really clear what the
use-case of setting the perspective on the stage should be but it
seems like the safest bet is to always try to preserve the
application's request. The documentation for the function has been
tweaked to discourage its use.

cairo.h is intended to be included as <cairo.h> not <cairo/cairo.h> as
is the style for clutter.h. If you have installed cairo to a custom
prefix then using cairo/cairo.h can result in unintentional use of the
system cairo headers, or if they aren't installed then it will result in
a failure to find the header.
The G_CONST_RETURN define in GLib is, and has always been, a bit fuzzy.
We always used it to conform to the platform, at least for public-facing
API.
At first I assumed it has something to do with brain-damaged compilers
or with weird platforms where const was not really supported; sadly,
it's something much, much worse: it's a define that can be toggled at
compile-time to remove const from the signature of public API. This is a
truly terrifying feature that I assume was added in the past century,
and whose inception clearly had something to do with massive doses of
absynthe and opium — because any other explanation would make the
existence of such a feature even worse than assuming drugs had anything
to do with it.
Anyway, and pleasing the gods, this dubious feature is being
removed/deprecated in GLib; see bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644611
Before deprecation, though, we should just remove its usage from the
whole API. We should especially remove its usage from Cally's internals,
since there it never made sense in the first place.
_clutter_stage_do_pick called by interactive picking and
clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos could be accidentally reading back the wrong
actor id's if an other stage has had a more recent render due to animation.
This should resolve some multi stage / ClutterGtk related pick id warnings.
The id pool used for the actor's id should be a per-stage field. At some
point, we might have a Stage mapped to multiple framebuffers, or each
Stage mapped to a different framebuffer; also, on backend with low
color precision we don't want to exhaust the size of the available ids
with a global pool. Finally, it's yet another thing we can remove from
the global Clutter context.
Having the id pool allocated per-stage, and the pick id assigned on
Actor:mapped will make the whole pick-id more reliable and future proof.

Do not use GdkPixbuf just for getting image data down into a PNG; Cairo
is perfectly capable of doing the same, at least just for debugging
purposes.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647875
Do not use the generic GType class name: we have a :name property on
ClutterActor that is generally used for debugging purposes — so we
should use it when creating debugging spew in a consistent way.
This migrates all the GLX window system code down from the Clutter
backend code into a Cogl winsys. Moving OpenGL window system binding
code down from Clutter into Cogl is the biggest blocker to having Cogl
become a standalone 3D graphics library, so this is an important step in
that direction.
This gives us a way to clearly track the internal Cogl API that Clutter
depends on. The aim is to split Cogl out from Clutter into a standalone
3D graphics API and eventually we want to get rid of any private
interfaces for Clutter so its useful to have a handle on that task.
Actually it's not as bad as I was expecting though.
