ClutterEvent is not really gobject-introspection friendly because
of the whole discriminated union thing. In particular, if you get
a ClutterEvent in a signal handler, you probably can't access the
event-type-specific fields, and you probably can't call methods
like clutter_key_event_symbol() either, because you can't cast the
ClutterEvent to a ClutterKeyEvent.
The cleanest solution is to turn every accessor into ClutterEvent
methods, accepting a ClutterEvent* and internally checking the event
type.

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 clutter_get_current_event_time() is a global function for
retrieving the timestamp of the current event being propagated
by Clutter. Such function avoids the need to propagate the
timestamp from within user code.
Key events can come from different input devices, so they need a
ClutterInputDevice member like the pointer-related events. This
field is reserved for future use.
The coordinates of each ButtonEvent are relative to the stage that
received the event, so we should document this in the structure
annotation.
It should also be mentioned that the coordinates can be transformed
into actor-relative coordinates by using transform_stage_point().

Supporting WM_PROTOCOLS allows handling the WM_DELETE_WINDOW ClientMessage,
which is then relayed to the ClutterStage actor in form of the "delete-event"
signal. Returning TRUE will block the propagation and won't close the
stage window.
Add the XEMBED protocol support in the GLX backend, for embedding the
stage window into another X window. This allows cross-toolkit inclusion
and makes clutter-gtk possible.

headers; update the main context object; add the declarations for
the event queue functions.

object, which holds backend-specific settings, the main stage,

Rework part of the show/hide machinery. Allow groups sub-classes
and composite actors to override show_all/hide_all in order to
decide which children they wish to show/hide. This means that
if an actor overrides the default show/hide virtual methods, it'll
have to chain up to the parent class show/hide. While we're at it,
provide the fully recursive clutter_actor_show_all() and
clutter_actor_hide_all() methods.
* clutter/clutter-behaviour-path.c: Add apidoc for the ClutterKnot
functions; add pathological equality case for clutter_knot_equal().

gtk-doc doesn't complain.
* clutter/clutter-actor.c:
* clutter/clutter-event.c: Add apidoc
* clutter/clutter-actor.h:
* clutter/clutter-actor.c: Add a clutter_actor_show_all() and a
clutter_actor_hide_all() functions; provide a mechanism for
groups and composited actors to programmatically select what to
show/hide when clutter_actor_show_all() and clutter_actor_hide_all()
are called. If you are overriding the ClutterActor::show or
the ClutterActor::hide virtual methods you should chain up with
the parent class.
* clutter/clutter-group.c: Override show_all and hide_all and
recursively show/hide every child inside the group;
clutter_group_show_all() and clutter_group_hide_all() remain as non
recursive versions of clutter_actor_show_all() and
clutter_actor_hide_all() (maybe we should rename them in order
to avoid name clashes with the bindings).

* clutter/clutter-texture.c: Chain up with parent class show
and hide vfuncs.

main context pointer here.

update the color-related code to the new ClutterColor object;

and add setters and getters for the properties.
* clutter-marshal.list: Add VOID:OBJECT and VOID:BOXED marshallers
generators.
* clutter-stage.h:
* clutter-stage.c: Rework the API: provide a default constructor
for a singleton object, named clutter_stage_get_default(), which
