* cookbook-layouts-bind-constraint:
cookbook: Add recipe about sync'ing actor sizes
cookbook: Example using allocation-changed to sync actor size
cookbook: Simple example to demonstrate bind constraint
cookbook: Example of using a bind constraint for an overlay
The recipe covers how to use ClutterBindConstraint
to bind actor sizes together.
It gives some examples of where this approach is appropriate,
as well as explaining an alternative using allocation-changed
or notify::* signals.
Three examples are given:
1. Resizing a texture to the stage.
2. Resizing a rectangle to act as a transparent overlay on
top of a texture (using constraints).
3. Resizing a rectangle to act as a transparent overlay on
top of a texture, but with a size proportional to the texture
(using a handler connected to allocation-changed signals
emitted by the texture).
An alternative method (not using constraints) to bind
one actor's size and position to another. Used as
an example in the recipe about resizing one actor in
sync with a source actor.
A simple example showing how to scale an actor to the stage.
Demonstrates ClutterBindConstraint and ClutterAlignConstraint
in a fashion suitable for a short recipe.
Example code which loads an image into a texture, and resizes
the image in response to +/- key presses. The overlay is
a transparent rectangle which is bound to the height and
width of the texture; on clicking the texture, the overlay
is made visible by increasing its opacity.
This demonstrates how to use constraints to simplify code
for resizing an actor which is "dependent" on another actor.
When building actor relative transforms, instead of using the matrix
stack to combine transformations and making assumptions about what is
currently on the stack we now just explicitly initialize an identity
matrix and apply transforms to that.
This removes the full_vertex_t typedef for internal transformation code
and we just use ClutterVertex.
ClutterStage now implements apply_transform like any other actor now
and the code we had in _cogl_setup_viewport has been moved to the
stage's apply_transform instead.
ClutterStage now tracks an explicit projection matrix and viewport
geometry. The projection matrix is derived from the perspective whenever
that changes, and the viewport is updated when the stage gets a new
allocation. The SYNC_MATRICES mechanism has been removed in favour of
_clutter_stage_dirty_viewport/projection() APIs that get used when
switching between multiple stages to ensure cogl has the latest
information about the onscreen framebuffer.
This recipe explains how to "reuse" the same animation
definition for different actors, by creating a new
instance of a "rig" (empty container) and animation
for the rig each time the animation is required.
An actor is then re-parented to the rig and animated
using it, rather than being animated directly.
JSON is used to define the rig + animator, to make
creating new instances of them simpler. The recipe
also discusses various caveats around using this
approach, rather than directly animating an actor.
Modified the "animation reuse" sample code to provide
a simpler example to explain in the recipe.
Also modified variable names to mirror the names used
for the previous "complex animation" example and added
some more comments, to further simplify and support the
recipe.
With some help from pippin, moved variable declarations
into more sensible positions within their functions,
changed a function name, and found a better way
to unref a script once its associated actor has
been destroyed.
Extracted the animation into its own JSON definition,
then create a new script and get the animation each
time a rectangle is clicked.
Removes the need to reparent onto the background and
copy property values to the rectangle after the animation,
and generally much cleaner.
Added an example showing how to reuse a ClutterAnimator
instance to animate multiple actors at different times
using an animatable rig, combined with reparenting.
The keysyms defines in clutter-keysyms.h are generated from the X11 key
symbols headers by doing the equivalent of a pass of sed from XK_* to
CLUTTER_*. This might lead to namespace collisions, down the road.
Instead, we should use the CLUTTER_KEY_* namespace.
This commit includes the script, taken from GDK, that parses the X11
key symbols and generates two headers:
- clutter-keysyms.h: the default included header, with CLUTTER_KEY_*
- clutter-keysyms-compat.h: the compatibility header, with CLUTTER_*
The compat.h header file is included if CLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATED is
not defined - essentially deprecating all the old key symbols.
This does not change any ABI and, assuming that an application or
library is not compiling with CLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATED, the source
compatibility is still guaranteed.
When animating an actor through clutter_actor_animate() and friends we
might want forcibly detach the animation instance from the actor in
order to start a new one - for instance, in response to user
interaction.
Currently, there is no way to do that except in a very convoluted way,
by emitting the ::completed signal and adding a special case in the
signal handlers; this is due to the fact that clutter_actor_animate()
adds more logic than the one added by clutter_animation_set_object(),
so calling set_object(NULL) or unreferencing the animation instance
itself won't be enough.
The right way to approach this is to add a new method to Clutter.Actor
that detaches any eventual Animation currently referencing it.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2051
Uses ClutterAnimator to implement a reasonably complex
animation of a single actor (movement along a path with
simultaneous scaling).
Provides a metaphor for thinking about ClutterAnimator
animations (stage directions) and explains keys and key
frames in some depth. Also compares ClutterAnimator
with other possible approaches to this type of animation
(implicit animations, ClutterState).
Added another JSON example to show how transitions can
be easily overlapped when using ClutterAnimator (two
sequences of 5 transitions, simultaneous with two
sequences of 1 transition).
Modified the C JSON loader program so it can be used with
this example as well.
Intel CE3100 and CE4100 have several planes (framebuffers) and a
hardware blender to blend the planes togeteher to produce the final
image.
clutter_cex100_set_plane() lets you configure which framebuffer clutter
will use for its rendering.
*** This is an API change ***
The create_target() virtual function should return a CoglHandle to a
texture; clutter_offscreen_effect_get_target(), instead, returns a
CoglMaterial to be painted in the implementation of the paint_target()
virtual function.
Instead of equating textures with materials, and confusing the user of
the API, we should mark the difference more prominently.
First of all, we should return a CoglMaterial* (now that we have that
as a public type) in get_target(); having handles all over the place
does not make it easier to distinguish the semantics of the virtual
functions.
Then we should rename create_target() to create_texture(), to make it
clear that what should be returned is a texture that is used as the
backing for the offscreen framebuffer.
Added a recipe explaining how to connect signals to handlers
in the JSON definition used by ClutterScript; also shows
how to connect the signals in code once the JSON has been
loaded.
Includes guidelines on writing handlers (i.e. need to use
-export-dynamic and non-static functions) and example
which connects a handler for motion events on a rectangle.
GEnum nicknames can be used to set properties in JSON
definitions, so added a callout to the JSON example explaining
this, and showing how to derive the nickname for an enumeration
value.
Modified the example code to use nicknames as well.
As JSON can make use of nicknames for GEnum properties,
mentioned this in the table mapping C property values
to their JSON equivalents (as the nick name is a much
shorter and cleaner way of setting a property in JSON).
Wrote an introduction to using ClutterScript with JSON. Focus
is on explaining why you might want to use it, basic principles
of operation (with annotated JSON sample), and how to map
data types from C to JSON.
Written simultaneously with a short recipe (uses the same sample
code) showing how to load a JSON file and retrieve objects
from it in code.
Commented the ClutterScript example so it can be used
inline as part of the recipe, rather than as an
example in the appendix (it's too simple to warrant
a separate appendix).
New script chapter needs an introduction.
While writing the introduction, also slightly changed the
emphasis of the recipe (towards refactoring an existing
application to use ClutterScript) and incorporated example
code into documentation.
Set a parameter on the XSLT transform so that callout elements
are rendered as text rather than graphics (removes the need
to add callout graphics to the build).
There was too much in the example code to cover in a single
recipe, so I trimmed it down to demonstrate simple
UI building (no constraints, effects, animations, or signals).
Added a simple script and program to load it, to support
recipe on ClutterScript for UI definitions.
Also amended the Makefile (following the pattern of
the tests/interactive Makefile) to enable signal
connection from ClutterScript by passing -export-dynamic
to linker.

Conflicts:
doc/cookbook/examples/Makefile.am
Added a recipe about handling enter, leave, and motion events
on an actor.
Gives some pointers to data available from motion events,
explains a bit about stage-relative and actor-relative coords,
and covers how overlapping actors and reactivity of actors
can affect events occurring.
Examples include a simple scribble app showing how to integrate
pointer events into a more useful context.
Added another example (used for a screenshot) to demonstrate
how pointer events pass through non-reactive actors and how
depth ordering affects whether an actor will emit a pointer
motion signal.
Use clutter_event_get_coords() to get x and y position,
rather than casting to the right event type then directly
accessing members of the event struct.
Decided might be better to cover crossing and motion under
a broader "pointer motion" recipe, so renamed the example
(which only shows pointer crossing event handling).
It can be useful to be able to forcibly break the grab set up by the
ClickAction. The newly added release() method provides a mechanism to
release the grab and unset the :held state of the ClickAction.
Rewrote example for single texture + COGL to use
a GdkPixbuf to load images, rather than reading data
out of another CoglTexture.
The data is then loaded from the pixbuf to a region of
the CoglTexture (as before).
The recipe covers a two texture approach (using the Clutter API)
and a single texture approach (using COGL).
It also discusses issues with cross-fading between images of
different sizes with the COGL API, and gives a longer
example of cycling through multiple images in a slideshow
application.
Added a video showing the two texture cross-fade.
Modified the example code to animate on key press, so
this video could be captured.
Also altered the stage size to minimise the video size.
Front/back seems like the wrong terminology when discussing
actors arranged in layers. Top/bottom fits better with Clutter
API function names and other recipes, so renamed variables.
Cross-fading between two images is straightforward,
but cycling between more than two is more efficient
if done by copying COGL textures between the
two textures, rather than trying to reposition the
textures.
The example demonstrates how to reuse a pair of
textures to cycle through multiple images.
Modified the code example for the Clutter API version
of the cross-fade to use the same command line
as the COGL version.
This also simplifies the explanation in the recipe.
Also made the COGL code sample more consistent with
the Clutter API code sample.
Added simple image viewer which loads image file names
from a directory, displays the first one, then displays
the next in the list with each key press. Uses the
primitive fade front in/fade back out approach.
Also adapted Emmanuele's example code which uses Cogl
to produce a similar effect, but within a single texture.
This code loads two images specified on the command
line and cross-fades between them.
The tests/accessibility, tests/micro-bench and the examples directory
in the coobook create a lot of non-installed binaries. Since we know who
they are, and we ignore them, we can auto-generate the ignore files as
well.
The rest of Clutter is covered by the main ignore file.

This removes all references to SDL in the build instructions as the
backend is no longer available. The OpenGL version required is only
1.2 not 1.4. The Windows build instructions were out of date and have
been replaced with a link to the wiki instead.
Instead of exposing an API that provides an OpenGL state machine style
where you first have to bind the program to the context using
cogl_program_use() followed by updating uniforms using
cogl_program_uniform_xyz we now have uniform setter methods that take an
explicit CoglHandle for the program.
This deprecates cogl_program_use and all the cogl_program_uniform
variants and provides the following replacements:
cogl_program_set_uniform_1i
cogl_program_set_uniform_1f
cogl_program_set_uniform_int
cogl_program_set_uniform_float
cogl_program_set_uniform_matrix
Added some extra explanation, referencing the sample code, to
try to make the scrollable actor example easier to follow. Basically
demonstrates the principles described in the paragraph about
setting the y coordinate for the scrollable actor, but using actual
numbers.
A TableLayout is a layout manager that allocates its children in rows
and columns. Each child is assigned to a cell (or more if a cell span
is set).
The supported child properties are:
• x-expand and y-expand: if this cell with try to allocate the
available extra space for the table.
• x-fill and y-fill: if the child will get all the space available in
the cell.
• x-align and y-align: if the child does not fill the cell, then
where the child will be aligned inside the cell.
• row-span and col-span: number of cells the child will allocate for
itself.
Also, the TableLayout has row-spacing and col-spacing for specifying
the space in pixels between rows and between columns.
We also include a simple test of the layout manager, and the
documentation updates.
The TableLayout was implemented starting from MxTable and
ClutterBoxLayout.

Signed-off-by: Emmanuele Bassi <ebassi@linux.intel.com>
Layout managers are using the same code to allocate a child while taking
into consideration:
• horizontal and vertical alignment
• horizontal and vertical fill
• the preferred minimum and natural size, depending
on the :request-mode property
• the text direction for the horizontal alignment
• an offset given by the fixed position properties
Given the amount of code involved, and the amount of details that can go
horribly wrong while copy and pasting such code in various classes - let
alone various projects - Clutter should provide an allocate() variant
that does the right thing in the right way. This way, we have a single
point of failure.
Added a new recipe for creating a non-rectangular
actor using ClutterPath (aka "shaped pick") and
the Cogl primitives API.
Also cleaned up XML alignment in the actors.xml
file.
It's a XSL FAQ to be able to chomp text nodes and we just have to copy
and paste a XSLT 1.0 solution from:
http://dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N8321.html#d11325e833
Let's then empower our cookbook customization layer to chomp text nodes,
children of programlisting.
The generated cookbook files (either HTML or PDF) do not only depend on
clutter-cookbok.xml but also on all the chapters that compose the
cookbook. Add this dependency to the Makefile rules to have make rebuild
the book when a chapter changes.
Since XML_FILES is now the list of source files, move recipe-template.xml
to EXTRA_DIST.
New recipe covering how to animate rotation of
an actor (in all axes).
Covers various factors affecting rotation animation
(like orientation of axes, parent rotation/orientation),
as well as trying to make rotations easier to visualise
(e.g. describing how rotation direction is affected by
those factors, how a rotation can be expected to look
when animated). Uses implicit animations for code examples.
Also refers to a full code example which uses ClutterState.
The simple key press example in the cookbook used a brittle
and incorrect switch statement to test modifier values. Instead,
use logical "&" of the state with the modifiers we're interested
in to check which keys were pressed.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2223
The cookbook should also include fully functional code examples. We can
even XInclude them into the docbook XML itself.
The examples should be built with the coobook, so that we can always
make sure they are up to date.
* elliot/cookbook-include-videos:
cookbook: Tweak so that videos sit inside a paragraph for better spacing
docs: Note the P_() macro in the HACKING file
cookbook: Added support for inline video
Conflicts:
doc/cookbook/Makefile.am
Explains how to make an actor transparent so that other actors
are visible through it.
Also explains a bit more generally about opacity and how
it's computed from the actor, container, and color; and how actor
visibility is affected by depth (fog) and depth order.
Amended Makefile to copy content of videos directory into
installation directories. Also copies videos and images
into the html/ directory during the build, so that the
built cookbook can be viewed locally (for testing without
having to install).
Added an XSLT template to transform Docbook <inlinemediaobject>
elements into HTML 5 <video> elements, with a fallback to
link to the video displayed for browsers without HTML 5 support.
Added note to "Contributing" appendix explaining how to put
video into a recipe.
Some apps or some use cases don't need to clear the stage on immediate
rendering GPUs. A media player playing a fullscreen video or a
tile-based game, for instance.
These apps are redrawing the whole screen, so we can avoid clearing the
color buffer when preparing to paint the stage, since there is no
blending with the stage color being performed.
We can add an private set of hints to ClutterStage, and expose accessors
for each potential hint; the first hint is the 'no-clear' one.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2058
This adds a publicly exposed experimental API for a 3D texture
backend. There is a feature flag which can be checked for whether 3D
textures are supported. Although we require OpenGL 1.2 which has 3D
textures in core, GLES only provides them through an extension so the
feature can be used to detect that.
The textures can be created with one of two new API functions :-
cogl_texture_3d_new_with_size
and
cogl_texture_3d_new_from_data
There is also internally a new_from_bitmap function. new_from_data is
implemented in terms of this function.
The two constructors are effectively the only way to upload data to a
3D texture. It does not work to call glTexImage2D with the
GL_TEXTURE_3D target so the virtual for cogl_texture_set_region does
nothing. It would be possible to make cogl_texture_get_data do
something sensible like returning all of the images as a single long
image but this is not currently implemented and instead the virtual
just always fails. We may want to add API specific to the 3D texture
backend to get and set a sub region of the texture.
All of those three functions can throw a GError. This will happen if
the GPU does not support 3D textures or it does not support NPOTs and
an NPOT size is requested. It will also fail if the FBO extension is
not supported and the COGL_TEXTURE_NO_AUTO_MIPMAP flag is not
given. This could be avoided by copying the code for the
GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP TexParameter fallback, but in the interests of
keeping the code simple this is not yet done.
This adds a couple of functions to cogl-texture-driver for uploading
3D data and querying the 3D proxy
texture. prep_gl_for_pixels_upload_full now also takes sets the
GL_UNPACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT parameter so that 3D textures can have padding
between the images. Whenever 3D texture is uploading, both the height
of the images and the height of all of the data is specified (either
explicitly or implicilty from the CoglBitmap) so that the image height
can be deduced by dividing by the depth.
There are many places in the texture backend that need to do
conversion using the CoglBitmap code. Currently none of these
functions can throw an error but they do return a value to indicate
failure. In future it would make sense if new texture functions could
throw an error and in that case they would want to use a CoglBitmap
error if the failure was due to the conversion. This moves the
internal CoglBitmap error from the quartz backend to be public in
cogl-bitmap.h so that it can be used in this way.

Introduces basic concepts (timelines, alphas, frames)
common to different parts of the Clutter animation API.
Gives a high level overview of the three different
approaches to animation (implicit, ClutterAnimator,
ClutterState).
Added a new recipe (based on the skeleton in the
animations section of the cookbook) about inverting
an animation by reversing the direction of its timeline.
Uses clutter_actor_animate() as the basic approach,
but mentions ClutterState and ClutterAnimator as well.
This adds a new API call to enable point sprite coordinate generation
for a material layer:
void
cogl_material_set_layer_point_sprite_coords_enabled (CoglHandle material,
int layer_index,
gboolean enable);
There is also a corresponding get function.
Enabling point sprite coords simply sets the GL_COORD_REPLACE of the
GL_POINT_SPRITE glTexEnv when flusing the material. There is no
separate application control for glEnable(GL_POINT_SPRITE). Instead it
is left permanently enabled under the assumption that it has no affect
unless GL_COORD_REPLACE is enabled for a texture unit.

I had changed the build so CSS files get put into
the HTML build directory; but done it in such
a way that they were then being ignored during
install. Fixed this.
There was a note about constants for keys and
where they are defined in Clutter header files; but
the sentence about where key modifiers are defined
was outside the note. Logically, they belong
together.
In some cases, there were blocks of text which
were really asides/interrupts to the flow, but
which weren't explicitly marked as such. I fixed
them by turning them into <note> blocks.
Made usage of docbook elements consistent across
recipes; to ensure the conventions are kept by others,
added a section about how to write and style recipes.
Make Cally follow the single-include header file policy of Clutter and
Cogl; this means making cally.h the single include header, and requires
a new cally-main.h file for the functions defined by cally.h.
Also:
• clean up the licensing notice and remove the FSF address;
• document the object structures (instance and class);
• G_GNUC_CONST-ify the get_type() functions;
• reduce the padding for CallyActor sub-classes;
• reduce the amount of headers included.
The documentation for cogl_vertex_buffer_indices_get_for_quads was
using ugly ASCII art to draw the diagrams. These have now been
replaced with PNG figures.
CoglMaterialWrapMode was missing from the cogl-sections.txt file so it
wasn't getting displayed. There were also no documented return values
from the getters.
Create two HTML versions of the cookbook:

the Cookbook.
Promote Elliot as author.
Re-license from the GPLv2.0 to the CC BY-NC-SA 2.0.
Apparently, xsltproc recognizes a directory if it has a '/' at the end
of its path, and not by doing the sensible thing and stat()'ing the
argument for the --output option.
This adds two new API calls- cogl_path_set_fill_rule and
cogl_path_get_fill_rule. This allows modifying the fill rule of the
current path. In addition to the previous default fill rule of
'even-odd' it now supports the 'non-zero' rule. The fill rule is a
property of the path (not the Cogl context) so creating a new path or
preserving a path with cogl_path_get_handle affects the fill rule.
Attached patch contains a cookbook recipe about key press event
handling.
It covers both a simple approach (connecting a callback to a
key-press-event signal which manually analyses the key and
modifiers), and a more complicated one based on a binding pool.
There's also some discussion of the two approaches.

This adds a separate variable name "CLUTTER_SONAME_INFIX" to define the
infix for the clutter library that gets linked. Currently the WINSYS
corresponds to the directory we enter when building to compile the
window system and input support, but it is desirable to be able to
define multiple flavours that use the same WINSYS but should result in
different library names.
For example we are planning to combine the eglx and eglnative window
systems into one "egl" winsys but we will need to preserve the current
library names for the eglx and eglnative flavours.
cogl_ortho is one of those APIs whos style was, for better or worse,
copied from OpenGL and for some inexplicable reason the near and far
arguments are inconsistent with the left, right, top, bottom arguments
because they don't take z coordinates they take a "distance" which
should be negative for a plane behind the viewer.
This updates the documentation to explain this.

By default, ShaderEffect creates a fragment shader; in order to be able
to deprecate ClutterShader we need a way for ShaderEffect sub-classes to
create a vertex shader if needed - By using a write-only, constructor
only property.
ClutterShader has, internally, a ClutterShaderType enumeration that can
be used exactly for this. We just need to expose it and create a GObject
property for ClutterShaderEffect.
We only had getters for the red, green, blue and alpha channels of a
color. This meant that, if you wanted to change, say, the alpha
component of a color, one would need to query the red, green and blue
channels and use set_from_4ub() or set_from_4f().
Instead of this, just provide some setters for CoglColor, using the same
naming scheme than the existing getters.
For some operations on pre-multiplied colors (say, replace the alpha
value), you need to unpremultiply the color.
This patch provides the counterpart to cogl_color_premultiply().
• 3 general fixes (typos, copy/paste),
• ignore cogl-object-private.h,
• cogl_fixed_atani() was in reality cogl_fixed_atan(), fixed in commit
43564f05.
• Fix the cogl-vector section: sections must have a </SECTION> tag at
the end. Also the cogl-vector section was added in the middle of the
cogl-buffer one. Let's shiffle it out and add that </SECTION> tag.
This provides a mechanism for associating private data with any
CoglObject. We expect Clutter will use this to associate weak materials
with normal materials.
Various headers are build in builddirs (clutter-marshal.h, mkenums
headers and cogl-define.h) so we need to add the corresponding include
paths for gtk-doc to build its scanner.
ClutterInterval.compute_value() computes the new value given a progress
and copies it to a given GValue. Since most of the time we want to pass
that very same value to another function that copies it again, we should
have a compute_value() variant that stores that computed value inside
ClutterInterval and returns a pointer to it. This way we initialize the
result GValue just once and we never copy it, as long as the Interval
instance is valid.

This adds a math utility API for handling 3 component, single precision
float vectors with the following; mostly self explanatory functions:
cogl_vector3_init
cogl_vector3_init_zero
cogl_vector3_equal
cogl_vector3_equal_with_epsilon
cogl_vector3_copy
cogl_vector3_free
cogl_vector3_invert
cogl_vector3_add
cogl_vector3_subtract
cogl_vector3_multiply_scalar
cogl_vector3_divide_scalar
cogl_vector3_normalize
cogl_vector3_magnitude
cogl_vector3_cross_product
cogl_vector3_dot_product
cogl_vector3_distance
Since the API is experimental you will need to define
COGL_ENABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_API before including cogl.h if you want to use
the API.
The Clutter cookbook has a chapter for textures. It would be useful to
provide a recipe on simple uses of ClutterCairoTexture as part of that.
Some suggested content is attached.
The ClutterActor API should have modifier methods for adding, removing
and retrieving Actions and Constraints using the ClutterActorMeta:name
property - mostly, for convenience.
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.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2075
Previously, Cogl's texture coordinate system was effectively always
GL_REPEAT so that if an application specifies coordinates outside the
range 0→1 it would get repeated copies of the texture. It would
however change the mode to GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE if all of the coordinates
are in the range 0→1 so that in the common case that the whole texture
is being drawn with linear filtering it will not blend in edge pixels
from the opposite sides.
This patch adds the option for applications to change the wrap mode
per layer. There are now three wrap modes: 'repeat', 'clamp-to-edge'
and 'automatic'. The automatic map mode is the default and it
implements the previous behaviour. The wrap mode can be changed for
the s and t coordinates independently. I've tried to make the
internals support setting the r coordinate but as we don't support 3D
textures yet I haven't exposed any public API for it.
The texture backends still have a set_wrap_mode virtual but this value
is intended to be transitory and it will be changed whenever the
material is flushed (although the backends are expected to cache it so
that it won't use too many GL calls). In my understanding this value
was always meant to be transitory and all primitives were meant to set
the value before drawing. However there were comments suggesting that
this is not the expected behaviour. In particular the vertex buffer
drawing code never set a wrap mode so it would end up with whatever
the texture was previously used for. These issues are now fixed
because the material will always set the wrap modes.
There is code to manually implement clamp-to-edge for textures that
can't be hardware repeated. However this doesn't fully work because it
relies on being able to draw the stretched parts using quads with the
same values for tx1 and tx2. The texture iteration code doesn't
support this so it breaks. This is a separate bug and it isn't
trivially solved.
When flushing a material there are now extra options to set wrap mode
overrides. The overrides are an array of values for each layer that
specifies an override for the s, t or r coordinates. The primitives
use this to implement the automatic wrap mode. cogl_polygon also uses
it to set GL_CLAMP_TO_BORDER mode for its trick to render sliced
textures. Although this code has been added it looks like the sliced
trick has been broken for a while and I haven't attempted to fix it
here.
I've added a constant to represent the maximum number of layers that a
material supports so that I can size the overrides array. I've set it
to 32 because as far as I can tell we have that limit imposed anyway
because the other flush options use a guint32 to store a flag about
each layer. The overrides array ends up adding 32 bytes to each flush
options struct which may be a concern.

This adds three new API calls:
CoglHandle cogl_path_get()
void cogl_path_set(CoglHandle path)
CoglHandle cogl_path_copy(CoglHandle path)
All of the fields relating to the path have been moved from the Cogl
context to a new CoglPath handle type. The cogl context now just
contains a CoglPath handle. All of the existing path commands
manipulate the data in the current path handle. cogl_path_new now just
creates a new path handle and unrefs the old one.
The path handle can be stored for later with cogl_path_get. The path
can then be copied with cogl_path_copy. Internally it implements
copy-on-write semantics with an extra optimisation that it will only
copy the data if the new path is modified, but not if the original
path is modified. It can do this because the only way to modify a path
is by appending to it so the copied path is able to store its own path
length and only render the nodes up to that length. For this to work
the copied path also needs to keep its own copies of the path extents
because the parent path may change these by adding nodes.
The clip stack now uses the cogl_path_copy mechanism to store paths in
the stack instead of directly copying the data. This should save some
memory and processing time.
Although cogl_multiply_matrix was consistent with OpenGL, after further
consideration it was agreed that cogl_transform is a better name. Given
that it's in the global cogl_ namespace cogl_transform seems more self
documenting.
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.

The create_context() and ensure_context() sections should be more clear
on the role of the functions, and their eventual caveats, like being
called multiple times.
We should explain what a "key frame" is for ClutterAnimator, possibly
with some sort of visual cue.
This allows me to demonstrate my poor skills at using Inkscape, as well
as my overall bad taste for graphics design.
It is conceivable that Container implementations might add children
outside of the Container::add() implementation - e.g. for packing at
a specific index. Since the addition (and removal) might happen outside
the common path we need to expose all the API that is implicitly called
by ClutterContainer when adding and removing a child - namely the
ChildMeta creation and destruction.
Embedding toolkits most likely will disable the event handling, so all
the input device code will not be executed. Unfortunately, the newly
added synthetic event generation of ENTER and LEAVE event pairs depends
on having input devices.
In order to unbreak things without reintroducing the madness of the
previous code we should allow embedding toolkits to just update the
state of an InputDevice by using the data contained inside the
ClutterEvent. This strategy has two obvious reasons:
• the embedding toolkit is creating a ClutterEvent by translating
a toolkit-native event anyway
• this is exactly what ClutterStage does when processing events
We are, essentially, deferring input device handling to the embedding
toolkits, just like we're deferring event handling to them.
If your OpenGL driver supports GLX_INTEL_swap_event that means when
glXSwapBuffers is called it returns immediatly and an XEvent is sent when
the actual swap has finished.
Clutter can use the events that notify swap completion as a means to
throttle rendering in the master clock without blocking the CPU and so it
should help improve the performance of CPU bound applications.
Gtk-doc is reporting a lot of false positives in the unused text file,
mostly because of new private files that have been added to Cogl but not
to the gtk-doc ignore list for the Cogl API reference.
Once the false positives have been removed we have a couple of really
missing symbols that should be added to the cogl-sections.txt file.
The PixelFormat bit and mask #defines should not be used and are there
mostly for convenience, so we can push them to the "private" sub-section
of the API reference.
This pushed Cogl's API reference coverage to 100%.
The only goal of using COGL buffers is to use them to create
textures. cogl_texture_new_from_buffer() is the new symbol to create
textures out of buffers.
This subclass of CoglBuffer aims at wrapping PBOs or other system
surfaces like DRM buffer objects. Two constructors are available:
cogl_pixel_buffer_new() with a size when you only care about the size of
the buffer (such a buffer can be used to store several texture data such
as the three planes of a I420 frame).
cogl_pixel_buffer_new_full() is more a 1:1 mapping between the data and
an underlying surface, with the possibility of having access to a low
level memory buffer that may have a stride.
Buffer objects are cool! This abstracts the buffer API first introduced
by GL_ARB_vertex_buffer_object and then extended to other objects.
The coglBuffer abstract class is intended to be the base class of all
the buffer objects, letting the user map() buffers. If the underlying
implementation does not support buffer objects (or only support VBO but
not FBO for instance), fallback paths should be provided.

ClutterAnimator is a class for managing the animation of multiple
properties of multiple actors over time with keyframing of values.
The Animator class is meant to be used to effectively describe
animations using the ClutterScript definition format, and to construct
complex implicit animations from the ground up.

This adds three new texture backends.
- CoglTexture2D: This is a trimmed down version of CoglTexture2DSliced
which only supports a single texture and only works with the
GL_TEXTURE_2D target. The code is a lot simpler so it has a less
overheads than dealing with slices. Cogl will use this wherever
possible.
- CoglSubTexture: This is used to get a CoglHandle to represent a
subregion of another texture. The texture can be used as if it was a
standalone texture but it does not need to copy the resources.
- CoglAtlasTexture: This collects RGB and RGBA textures into a single
GL texture with the aim of reducing texture state changes and
increasing batching. The backend will try to manage the atlas and
may move the textures around to close gaps in the texture. By
default all textures will be placed in the atlas.
High level toolkits might wish to construct a PangoFontDescription and
then set it directly on a ClutterText actor proxy or sub-class.
ClutterText should have a :font-description property to set (and get)
the PangoFontDescription.

In the example for clutter_actor_animate the "x" and "y" properties
are floats so they need to be passed float values in the var args
otherwise it will crash. There was also a missing comma.
There were some other minor problems with the behaviours example which
would cause it not to compile.
An example of what could be the equivalent of
"RBG = REPLACE(TEXTURE)
A = MODULATE(PREVIOUS,TEXTURE)"
using the ARB_texture_env_combine extension was given, but it seems that
a few typo were left:
* remove a spurius GL_COMBINE_ALPHA
* use the _ALPHA variant of SRCN and OPERANDN when setting up the
alpha combiner
Allow the user of the ClutterMedia interface to specify a Pango font
description to display subtitles. Even if the underlying implementation
of the interface does not natively use Pange, it must be capable of
parsing the grammar that pango_font_description_from_string() accepts.
Since asking for ARGB by default is still somewhat experimental on X11
and not every toolkit or complex widgets (like WebKit) still do not like
dealing with ARGB visuals, we should switch back to RGB by default - now
that at least we know it works.
For applications (and toolkit integration libraries) that want to enable
the ClutterStage:use-alpha property there is a new function:
void clutter_x11_set_use_argb_visual (gboolean use_argb);
which needs to be called before clutter_init().
The CLUTTER_DISABLE_ARGB_VISUAL environment variable can still be used
to force this value off at run-time.
At first, those symbols were called {get,set}_subtitles_uri() but were
renamed to {get,set}_subtitle_uri() without updating the
clutter-section.txt file.
This fix makes gtk-doc document those symbols again.
Allow the user of the ClutterMedia interface to specify an external (as
in not multiplexed with the audio/video streams) location of a subtitle
stream.

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.
ClutterLayoutManager does not have any state associated with it, and
defers all the state to its sub-classes.
The BoxLayout is thus in charge of controlling:
• whether or not animations should be used
• the duration of the animation
• the easing mode of the animation
By adding three new properties:
• ClutterBoxLayout:use-animations
• ClutterBoxLayout:easing-duration
• ClutterBoxLayout:easing-mode
And their relative accessors pairs we can make BoxLayout decide whether
or not, and with which parameters, call the begin_animation() method of
ClutterLayoutManager.
The test-box-layout has been modified to reflect this new functionality,
by checking the key-press event for the 'a' key symbol to toggle the use
of animations.
In order to animate a fluid layout we cannot use the common animation
code paths as they will override the size request and allocation paths
that are handled by the layout manager itself.
One way to introduce animations in the allocation sequence is to use a
Timeline and an Alpha to compute a progress value and then use that
value to interpolate an ActorBox between the initial and final states of
the animation - with the initial state being the last allocation of the
child prior to the animation start, and the final state the allocation
of the child at the end; for every frame of the Timeline we then queue a
relayout on the layout manager's container, which will result in an
animation.
ClutterLayoutManager is the most likely place to add a generic API for
beginning and ending an animation, as well as the place to provide a
default code path to create the ancillary Timeline and Alpha instances
needed to drive the animation.
A LayoutManager sub-class will need to:
• call clutter_layout_manager_begin_animation() whenever it should
animate between two states, for instance: whenever a layout property
changes value;
• eventually override begin_animation() and end_animation() in case
further state needs to be set up, and then chain up to the default
implementation provided by LayoutManager;
• if a completely different implementation is required, the layout
manager sub-class should override begin_animation(), end_animation()
and get_animation_progress().
Inside the allocate() implementation the sub-class should also
interpolate between the last known allocation of a child and the newly
computed allocation.
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.
When getting signals from higher level toolkits, occasionally
one wants access to the underlying event; say for a Button
widget's "clicked" signal, to get the keyboard state.
Rather than having all of the highlevel widgets emit
ClutterEvent just for the more unusual use cases,
add a global function to access the event state.

This adds a new texture backend which represents a sub texture of a
larger texture. The texture is created with a reference to the full
texture and a set of coordinates describing the region. The backend
simply defers to the full texture for all operations and maps the
coordinates to the other range. You can also use coordinates outside
the range [0,1] to create a repeated version of the full texture.
A new public API function called cogl_texture_new_from_sub_texture is
available to create the sub texture.

We should always recurse into the doc/ directory; whether we should then
recurse into reference/, cookbook/ and manual/ is a matter of specific
configure-time flags.
• Make the manual a DevHelp book
• Make the generation of PDFs of the cookbook and the manual optional
• Consequently, make the hard dependency on jw optional
• Clean up the checks and build for the additional documentation
Instead of creating stand-alone HTML files, use XSLT to transform the
DocBook into a DevHelp file, so that we can read the Cookbook inside
DevHelp -- just like the API reference.
The first recipe shows how to be notified when the relative position
and size of an actor changes using the notify:: signal on the actor's
dimensional and positional properties.
The "Clutter Cookbook" is a document designed to contain solutions
to common problems applications developers might encounter when using
Clutter. It is meant as a companion to the API reference but it
requires knowledge of the Clutter API and framework.
The ClutterLayoutMeta instances should be created on demand, whenever
the layout manager needs them - if the layout manager supports layout
properties.
This removes the requirement to call add_child_meta() and
remove_child_meta() on add and remove respectively; it also simplifies
the implementation of LayoutManager sub-classes since we can add
fallback code in the base abstract class.
Eventually, this will also lead to an easier to implement ClutterScript
parser for layout properties.
With the new scheme, the ClutterLayoutMeta instance is created whenever
the layout manager tries to access it; if there isn't an instance
already attached to the container's child, one is created -- assuming
that the LayoutManager sub-class has overridden the
get_child_meta_type() virtual function and it's returning a valid GType.
We can also provide a default implementation for create_child_meta(),
by getting the GType and instantiating a ClutterLayoutMeta with all the
fields already set. If the layout manager requires more work then it can
obviously override the default implementation (and even chain up to it).
The ClutterBox actor has been updated, as well as the ClutterBoxLayout
layout manager, to take advantage of the changes of LayoutManager.
cogl_push_draw_buffer, cogl_set_draw_buffer and cogl_pop_draw_buffer are now
deprecated and new code should use the new cogl_framebuffer_* API instead.
Code that previously did:
cogl_push_draw_buffer ();
cogl_set_draw_buffer (COGL_OFFSCREEN_BUFFER, buffer);
/* draw */
cogl_pop_draw_buffer ();
should now be re-written as:
cogl_push_framebuffer (buffer);
/* draw */
cogl_pop_framebuffer ();
As can be seen from the example above the rename has been used as an
opportunity to remove the redundant target argument from
cogl_set_draw_buffer; it now only takes one call to redirect to an offscreen
buffer, and finally the term framebuffer may be a bit more familiar to
anyone coming from an OpenGL background.
This function was #if 0'd before we released Clutter 1.0 so there's no
implementation of it. At some point we thought it might assist with
developers breaking out into raw OpenGL. Breaking out to raw GL is a
difficult problem though so we decided instead we will wait for a specific
use case to arrise before trying to support it.
The Clutter API reference has an index of the symbols for each minor
version, and a list of deprecated symbols. The Cogl API reference
should have the same layout.
The order in which the MacPorts are installed is important otherwise we open
the user up to a world of pain.
This patch also tweaks the OS X docs to follow the formatting of the rest of
the docs and to discuss the option of GtkDoc.

cogl_clip_push() which accepts a rectangle in model space shouldn't have
been defined to take x,y,width,height arguments because this isn't consistant
with other Cogl API dealing with model space rectangles. If you are using a
coordinate system with the origin at the center and the y+ extending up,
then x,y,width,height isn't as natural as (x0,y0)(x1,y1). This API has
now been replace with cogl_clip_push_rectangle()
(As a general note: the Cogl API should only use the x,y,width,height style
when the appropriate coordinate space is defined by Cogl to have a top left
origin. E.g. window coordinates, or potentially texture coordinates)
cogl_clip_push_window_rect() shouldn't have been defined to take float
arguments since we only clip with integral pixel precision. We also
shouldn't have abbreviated "rectangle". This API has been replaced with
cogl_clip_push_window_rectangle()
cogl_clip_ensure() wasn't documented at all in Clutter 1.0 and probably
no one even knew it existed. This API isn't useful, and so it's now
deprecated. If no one complains we may remove the API altogether for
Clutter 1.2.
cogl_clip_stack_save() and cogl_clip_stack_restore() were originally added
to allow us to save/restore the clip when switching to/from offscreen
rendering. Now that offscreen draw buffers are defined to own their clip
state and the state will be automatically saved and restored this API is now
redundant and so deprecated.
Just like CLUTTER_CHECK_VERSION does version checking at compile
time, we need a way to verify the version of the library that we
are linking against. This is mostly needed for language bindings
and for run-time loadable modules -- when we'll get those.
