The current Alpha value is an unsigned integer that can be used
implicitly as a fixed point value. This makes writing an alpha
function overshooting below and above the current range basically
impossible without complicating an already complex code, and
creating weird corner cases.
For this reason, the Alpha value should be defined as a floating
point normalized value, spanning a range between 0.0 and 1.0; in
order to allow overshooting, the valid range is extended one unit
below and one unit above, thus making it -1.0 .. 2.0.
This commit updates the various users of the ClutterAlpha API
and the tests cases.
This commit also removes all the current alpha functions exposed
in the public API.
In order to unify alpha functions and animation modes in ClutterAlpha
we should be able to register alpha functions and get a logical id
for them; the logical id will then be available to be used by
clutter_alpha_set_mode().
The registration requires API changes in ClutterAlpha constructors
and methods. It also provides the chance to shift ClutterAlpha
towards the use of animations modes only, and to alpha functions
as a convenience API for language bindings alone.
Since commit c7c5cf9b ClutterCloneTexture causes an extra paint of the
source actor during the paint run of the cloned texture if the source
is not yet visible. When the stage is first shown it is redrawn
immediatly before it is mapped which means get_paint_visibility will
fail on the source actor so the inner paint will be run. The paint
guards were a global variable so they didn't cope with a second actor
being painted.
The breakage didn't occur until commit d510a4b0 because
get_paint_visibility was also broken.
Bug 1014 - Clutter Animation API Improvements
* clutter/Makefile.am:
* clutter/clutter.h: Update the build
* clutter/clutter-types.h: Add AnimationMode, an enumeration
for easing functions.
* clutter/clutter-alpha.[ch]: Add the :mode property to
control the function bound to an Alpha instance using an
enumeration value. Also add six new alpha functions:
- ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out
- sine-in, sine-out, sine-in-out
* clutter/clutter-deprecated.h: Deprecate the #defines for
the alpha functions. They will be replaced by entries in the
ClutterAnimationMode.
* clutter/clutter-interval.[ch]: Add ClutterInterval, an
object for defining, validating and computing an interval
between two values.
* clutter/clutter-animation.[ch]: Add ClutterAnimation, an
object responsible for animation the properties of a single
actor along an interval of values. ClutterAnimation memory
management is automatic. A simple wrapper method for
ClutterActor is provided:
clutter_actor_animate()
which will create, or update, an animation for the passed
actor.
* clutter/clutter-debug.h:
* clutter/clutter-main.c: Add a new 'animation' debug note.
* clutter/clutter-script.c: Clean up the alpha functions
whitelist, and add the new functions.
* doc/reference/clutter/Makefile.am:
* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-sections.txt: Update the
API reference.
* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation.xml: Renamed to
doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation-tutorial.xml to
avoid clashes with the ClutterAnimation section.
* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.sgml: Renamed to
doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.xml, as it was an XML
file and not a SGML file.
* tests/Makefile.am:
* tests/interactive/Makefile.am:
* tests/interactive/test-animation.c:
* tests/interactive/test-easing.c: Add two tests for the
new simple animation API and the easing functions.
* tests/interactive/test-actors.c:
* tests/interactive/test-behave.c:
* tests/interactive/test-depth.c:
* tests/interactive/test-effects.c:
* tests/interactive/test-layout.c:
* tests/interactive/test-multistage.c:
* tests/interactive/test-paint-wrapper.c:
* tests/interactive/test-rotate.c:
* tests/interactive/test-scale.c:
* tests/interactive/test-texture-quality.c:
* tests/interactive/test-threads.c:
* tests/interactive/test-viewport.c: Update interactive tests
to the deprecations and new alpha API.
* clutter/cogl/cogl-color.h:
* clutter/cogl/cogl-path.h:
* clutter/cogl/cogl-types.h:
* clutter/cogl/common/cogl-color.c: Deprecated cogl_color()
in favour of cogl_set_source_color() and friends; store the
CoglColor components as unsigned bytes instead of fixed point
normalized values; add functions for allocating, copying and
freeing CoglColor, for use of language bindings.
* clutter/cogl/cogl.h.in:
* clutter/cogl/cogl-deprecated.h: Added cogl-deprecated.h,
an header file containing the deprecation symbols similar
to clutter-deprecated.h.
* clutter/cogl/gl/Makefile.am:
* clutter/cogl/gl/cogl-texture.c:
* clutter/cogl/gl/cogl.c:
* clutter/cogl/gles/Makefile.am:
* clutter/cogl/gles/cogl-texture.c:
* clutter/cogl/gles/cogl.c: Update the GL and GLES implementations
of COGL after the CoglColor changes.
* clutter/clutter-actor.c:
* clutter/clutter-clone-texture.c:
* clutter/clutter-entry.c:
* clutter/clutter-label.c:
* clutter/clutter-rectangle.c:
* clutter/clutter-texture.c: Do not use CoglColor whenever it
is possible, and use cogl_set_source_color4ub() instead.
* clutter/pango/cogl-pango-render.c: Ditto as above.
* doc/reference/clutter/subclassing-ClutterActor.xml:
* doc/reference/cogl/cogl-sections.txt: Update the documentation.
* tests/interactive/test-cogl-offscreen.c:
* tests/interactive/test-cogl-primitives.c:
* tests/interactive/test-cogl-tex-convert.c:
* tests/interactive/test-cogl-tex-foreign.c:

* tests/interactive/test-cogl-tex-polygon.c:
* tests/interactive/test-cogl-tex-tile.c:
* tests/interactive/test-paint-wrapper.c: Drop the usage of
CoglColor whenever it is possible.

The tests have been reorganised into different categories: conformance,
interactive and micro benchmarks.
- conformance tests can be run as part of automated tests
- interactive tests are basically all the existing tests
- micro benchmarks focus on a single performance metric
I converted the timeline tests to conformance tests and also added some
tests from Neil Roberts and Ebassi.
Note: currently only the conformance tests use the glib test APIs,
though the micro benchmarks should too.
The other change is to make the unit tests link into monolithic binaries
which makes the build time for unit tests considerably faster. To deal
with the extra complexity this adds to debugging individual tests I
have added some sugar to the makefiles so all the tests can be run
directly via a symlink and when an individual test is run this way,
then a note is printed to the terminal explaining exactly how that test
may be debugged using GDB.
There is a convenience make rule: 'make test-report', that will run all
the conformance tests and hopefully even open the results in your web
browser. It skips some of the slower timeline tests, but you can run
those using 'make full-report'
