CoglIndices define a range of indices inside a CoglIndexArray. I.e. a
CoglIndexArray is simply a buffer of N bytes and you can then
instantiate multiple CoglIndices collections that define a sub-region of
a CoglIndexArray by specifying a start offset and an index data type.
This adds a new CoglVertexArray object which is a subclass of CoglBuffer
used to hold vertex attributes. A later commit will add a
CoglVertexAttribute API which will be used to describe the attributes
inside a CoglVertexArray.
A CoglIndexArray is a subclass of CoglBuffer and will be used to hold
vertex indices. A later commit will add a CoglIndices API which will
allow describing a range of indices inside a CoglIndexArray.
This adds an internal mechanism to mark that a buffer is in-use so that
a warning can be generated if the user attempts to modify the buffer.
The plans is for the journal to use this mechanism so that we can warn
users about mid-scene modifications of buffers.
We now make _cogl_buffer_bind return a base pointer for the bound buffer
which can be used with OpenGL. The pointer will be NULL for GPU based
buffers or may point to an malloc'd buffer. Since OpenGL expects an
offset instead of a pointer when dealing with buffer objects this means
we can handle fallback malloc buffers and GPU buffers in a consistent
way.
This allows _cogl_material_flush_gl_state to bail out faster if
repeatedly asked to flush the same material and we can see the material
hasn't changed.
Since we can rely on the material age incrementing when any material
property changes or any associated layer property changes then we can
track the age of the material after flushing so it can be compared with
the age of the material if it is subsequently re-flushed. If the age is
the same we only have to re-assert the texture object state.
MaterialNodes are used for the sparse graph of material state and layer
state. In the case of materials there is the idea of weak materials that
don't take a reference on their parent and in that case we need to be
careful not to unref our parent during
_cogl_material_node_unparent_real. This adds a has_parent_reference
member to the CoglMaterialNode struct so we now know when to skip the
unref.
If there is private data associated with a CoglObject then there may be
a user_data_array that needs to be freed. The code was mistakenly
freeing the array inside the loop that was actually iterating over the
user data array notifying the objects destruction instead of waiting
until all the data entries had been destroyed.
Once an actor had _clutter_stage_queue_redraw_entry_invalidate()
called on it once, then priv->queue_redraw_entry would point to
an entry with entry->actor NULL. _clutter_stage_queue_actor_redraw()
doesn't handle this case and no further redraws would be queued.
To fix this, NULL out priv->queue_redraw_entry() and then make sure
we free the invalidated entry in
_clutter_stage_maybe_finish_queue_redraws() just as we do for
still valid entries.

Previously when trying to destroy all of the stages in the backend
dispose function it would poke directly in the ClutterStageManager
struct to get the list. In 8613013ab0 the defintion of
ClutterStageManager moved to a different header which isn't included
by the Win32 backend so it wouldn't compile. In that commit the X11
backend was changed to unref the stage manager instead of poking in
the internals so we should do the same for the win32 backend.
One of the ideas behind _internal() functions is to be able to have a
version of the original one without checks (among other things). As
these functions are either static or private to the library, we control
the arguments given to it, and thus no need for checking them again
here.
Telling the user about files not found when loading a ClutterScript with
ClutterTextures in it is very useful and can save a few minutes (or
hours) of frustation because it "does not work".
This merges the two implementations of CoglProgram for the GLES2 and
GL backends into one. The implementation is more like the GLES2
version which would track the uniform values and delay sending them to
GL. CoglProgram is now effectively just a GList of CoglShaders along
with an array of stored uniform values. CoglProgram never actually
creates a GL program, instead this is left up to the GLSL material
backend. This is necessary on GLES2 where we may need to relink the
user's program with different generated shaders depending on the other
emulated fixed function state. It will also be necessary in the future
GLSL backends for regular OpenGL. The GLSL and ARBfp material backends
are now the ones that create and link the GL program from the list of
shaders. The linked program is attached to the private material state
so that it can be reused if the CoglProgram is used again with the
same material. This does mean the program will get relinked if the
shader is used with multiple materials. This will be particularly bad
if the legacy cogl_program_use function is used because that
effectively always makes one-shot materials. This problem will
hopefully be alleviated if we make a hash table with a cache of
generated programs. The cogl program would then need to become part of
the hash lookup.
Each CoglProgram now has an age counter which is incremented every
time a shader is added. This is used by the material backends to
detect when we need to create a new GL program for the user program.
The internal _cogl_use_program function now takes a GL program handle
rather than a CoglProgram. It no longer needs any special differences
for GLES2. The GLES2 wrapper function now also uses this function to
bind its generated shaders.
The ARBfp shaders no longer store a copy of the program source but
instead just directly create a program object when cogl_shader_source
is called. This avoids having to reupload the source if the same
shader is used in multiple materials.
There are currently a few gross hacks to get the GLES2 backend to work
with this. The problem is that the GLSL material backend is now
generating a complete GL program but the GLES2 wrapper still needs to
add its fixed function emulation shaders if the program doesn't
provide either a vertex or fragment shader. There is a new function in
the GLES2 wrapper called _cogl_gles2_use_program which replaces the
previous cogl_program_use implementation. It extracts the GL shaders
from the GL program object and creates a new GL program containing all
of the shaders plus its fixed function emulation. This new program is
returned to the GLSL material backend so that it can still flush the
custom uniforms using it. The user_program is attached to the GLES2
settings struct as before but its stored using a GL program handle
rather than a CoglProgram pointer. This hack will go away once the
GLSL material backend replaces the GLES2 wrapper by generating the
code itself.
Under Mesa this currently generates some GL errors when glClear is
called in test-cogl-shader-glsl. I think this is due to a bug in Mesa
however. When the user program on the material is changed the GLSL
backend gets notified and deletes the GL program that it linked from
the user shaders. The program will still be bound in GL
however. Leaving a deleted shader bound exposes a bug in Mesa's
glClear implementation. More details are here:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31194
Previously cogl_set_source_color and cogl_set_source_texture modified
a single global material. If an application then mixes using
cogl_set_source_color and texture then the material will constantly
need a new ARBfp program because the numbers of layers alternates
between 0 and 1. This patch just adds a second global material that is
only used for cogl_set_source_texture. I think it would still end up
flushing the journal if cogl_set_source_texture is used with multiple
different textures but at least it should avoid a recompile unless the
texture target also changes. It might be nice to somehow attach a
material to the CoglTexture for use with cogl_set_source_texture but
it would be difficult to implement this without creating a circular
reference.
This moves the CoglIndicesType and CoglVerticesMode typedefs from
cogl-vertex-buffer.h to cogl-types.h so they can be shared with the
anticipated cogl vertex attribute API.
This renames the BufferBindTarget + BufferUsageHint enums to match the
anticipated new APIs for "index arrays" and "vertex arrays" as opposed
to using the terms "vertices" or "indices".
previously we would silently bail out if the given offset + data size
would overflow the buffer size. Now we use g_return_val_if_fail so we
get a warning if we hit this case.
This adds a store_created bit field to CoglBuffer so we know if the
underlying buffer has been allocated yet. Previously the code was trying
to do something really wrong by accidentally using the
COGL_PIXEL_ARRAY_FLAG_IS_SET macro (note "PIXEL_ARRAY") and what is more
odd was the declaration of a CoglPixelArray *pixel_array in
cogl-buffer.c which the buffer was being cast too before calling using
the macro. Probably this was the fall-out of some previous code
re-factoring.
All the macros get used for are to |= (a new flag bit), &= ~(a flag bit)
or use the & operator to test if a flag bit is set. I haven't found the
code more readable with these macros, but several times now I've felt
the need to double check if these macros do anything else behind the
hood or I've forgotten what flags are available so I've had to go to the
macro definition to see what the full enum names are for the flags (the
macros use symbol concatenation) so I can search for the definition of
all the flags. It turns out they are defined next to the macro so you
don't have to search far, but without the macro that wouldn't have been
necessary.
The more common use of the _IS_SET macro is actually more concise
expanded and imho since it doesn't hide anything in a separate header
file the code is more readable without the macro.
This is a counter part for _cogl_material_layer_get_texture which takes
a layer index instead of a direct CoglMaterialLayer pointer. The aim is
to phase out code that directly iterates the internal layer pointers of
a material since the layer pointers can change if any property of any
layer is changed making direct layer pointers very fragile.
This adds internal _cogl_material_get_layer_filters and
_cogl_material_get_layer_{min,mag}_filter functions which can be used to
query the filters associated with a layer using a layer_index, as
opposed to a layer pointer. Accessing layer pointers is considered
deprecated so we need to provide layer_index based replacements.
When we come to submitting the users given attributes we sort them into
different types of buffers. Previously we had three types; strided,
unstrided and multi-pack. Really though unstrided was just a limited
form of multi-pack buffer and didn't imply any hind of special
optimization so this patch consolidates some code by reducing to just
two types; strided and multi-pack.
This is a counter part for _cogl_material_layer_pre_paint which takes a
layer index instead of a direct CoglMaterialLayer pointer. The aim is to
phase out code that directly iterates the internal layer pointers of a
material since the layer pointers can change if any property of any
layer is changed making direct layer pointers very fragile.
This exposes the idea of a stack of source materials instead of just
having a single current material. This allows the writing of orthogonal
code that can change the current source material and restore it to its
previous state. It also allows the implementation of new composite
primitives that may want to validate the current source material and
possibly make override changes in a derived material.

Correct the argument order and replace all occurrences of
clutter_state_change() with the appropriate clutter_state_set_state() or
clutter_state_warp_to_state().
If you warp to a state, it should be immediately set. Check if the
animation is in progress when warping to a state and don't short-circuit
in the already-set check if we're not animating.
Add special behaviour when you set the key of the current target state:
- If the state is transitioning, add/modify the interval so that the new
key transitions from the current time (taking into account pre-delay) to
its target final property
- If the state is set but has already finished animating/was warped to,
set the property immediately
If ClutterState is in the middle of a transition and you remove all the
keys from the target state, the target state will be destroyed without
stopping the animation/unsetting the target state. This caused an invalid
memory access.
Allow setting a %NULL state. This has the effect of unsetting the current
state and stopping all animation. This allows you to, for example, start
a state transition, set the state to NULL, alter the state transition
and then resume it again, by just setting it.

Add ClutterPathConstraint
actor-box: Add setters for origin and size
ClutterPathConstraint is a simple Constraint implementation that
modifies the allocation of the Actor to which is has been applied using
a progress value and a ClutterPath.
There was previously a flag that gets set when this function was
called but nothing checked it so the function effectively did
nothing. Also the flag was a member of the backend struct but this
can't be used because the function should be called before
clutter_init so the backend is not ready yet. This patch makes the
event disabling work more like the X11 backend and set a global
variable instead.
This function handles a single windows message. The idea is that it
could be used by clutter-gtk to forward on events from a
GdkEventFilter. The function replaces the old message_translate()
function. That function didn't translate the event anymore anyway and
instead it could generate multiple events so
clutter_win32_handle_event seems like a more appropriate name. The
function returns TRUE or FALSE depending on whether the event was
completely handled instead of setting call_window_proc.
When handling an allocation on the stage, Clutter uses the oppurtunity
to inform Cogl of the new size of the framebuffer so that it can
handle the viewport correctly. It queries the size of the window
implementation using a backend virtual function. However it was doing
this before letting the backend handle the allocation so on Win32 it
would end up using the previous framebuffer size. This wasn't
affecting the X11 backend because in that case the resizes are
asynchronous so setting the stage size causes one allocation which
ends up sending a window size request. Eventually a ConfigureNotify is
received which causes the size of the stage to be set again and
another allocation is fired meaning the framebuffer size will be set
again this time with the correct size. In Win32 the resizes are
synchronous so we don't have this second allocation.
When compiling for non-glx platforms the winsys feature data array
ends up empty. Empty arrays cause problems for MSVC so this patch adds
a stub entry so that the array always has at least one entry.
Based on a patch by Ole André Vadla Ravnås
There was an array whose length was define by a static const int
variable. GCC seems to consider this a variable-length array so it
will cause warnings now that -Wvla is enabled. We might as well make
this constant a #define instead to avoid the warning.
Instead of directly manipulating GL textures itself,
CoglTexture2DSliced now works in terms of CoglHandles. It creates the
texture slices using cogl_texture_new_with_size which should always
end up creating a CoglTexture2D because the size should fit. This
allows us to avoid replicating some code such as the first pixel
mipmap tracking and it better enforces the separation that each
texture backend is the only place that contains code dealing with each
texture target.
This adds two new internal functions to create a foreign texture for
the texture 2d and rectangle backends. cogl_texture_new_from_foreign
will now use one of these backends directly if there is no waste
instead of always using the sliced texture backend.
Move the private Backend API to a separate header.
This also allows us to finally move the class vtable and instance
structure to a separate file and plug the visibility hole that left
the Backend class bare for everyone to poke into.
Since we allow compiling Clutter without the XComposite extension
available, we need to protect the calls to the XComposite API with
the guards provided by the configure script.
Currently, the memory management in ClutterScript is overly complicated.
The basic design tenet should be:
- ClutterScript owns a reference on every object it creates
This allows the Script instance to reliably handle the lifetime of the
instances from creation to disposal.
In case of unmerge, the Script instance should destroy any Actor
instance, except for the Stage, and release the reference it owns. The
Stage is special because it's really owned by Clutter itself, and it
should be destroyed explicitly.
When disposing the Script itself, it should just release the reference;
any parented actor, or any InitiallyUnowned instance, will then be
managed by the parent object, as they should, while every GObject
instance will go away, as documented.
This commit is based on a patch by:
Henrik Hedberg <hhedberg@innologies.fi>
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2316
By using a new signal, ::create-surface (width, height), it should be
possible for third party code and sub-classes to override the default
surface creation code in CairoSurface.
This commit takes a bit of the patch from:
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1878
which cleans up CairoTexture; the idea, mutuated from that bug, is that
the CairoTexture actor checks whether the surface it has it's an image
one, and in that case it uses a Cogl texture as the backing store. In
case the surface is not an image one we assume that the surface itself
has some way of updating the GL state and flush the surface.
Always use pageflipping, but avoid full repaint by copying back dirty
regions from front to back. Additionally, we dealy copying back until
we're ready to paint the new frame, so we can avoid copying areas that
will be repainted anyway.
This is the least amount of copying per frame we can get away with at all
and at the same time we don't have to worry about stalling the GPU on
synchronized blits since we always pageflip.
When we don't use a window system drawable, we can't query the color
masks at context initialization time. Do it lazily so we're sure to have
a current context with a valid framebuffer.
We need to make sure that redraws queued for actors on a stage are for
actors actually in the stage. So in clutter_actor_unparent() descend
through the children and remove redraws. Just removing the actor itself
isn't good enough since an entire hierarchy can be removed from the
stage without breaking it up into individual actors.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2359
This is based on an original patch from Owen Taylor who debugged the
root cause of this bug; thanks.
In the case that an unclipped redraw of an actor is queued after a
clipped we should update any existing ClutterStageQueueRedrawEntry
so entry->has_clip = FALSE and free the previous clip.
Instead of using the allocation-changed signal, use the queue-relayout
signal on the source to queue a relayout on the actor to which the
BindConstraint has been attached to.
The ::allocation-changed signal is not always enough, given that a
BindConstraint can use the position as well as the size of an actor to
drive the allocation of another; in this regard, it's much similar
to a ClutterClone, which requires a notification on every change, even
potential, and not just real ones, given the short-circuiting done
inside ClutterActor.
Instead of delegating the check for the ActorMeta:enabled property to
the sub-classes of ClutterActorMeta, ClutterActor can do the check prior
to using the ClutterActorMeta instances.
The interpolate() method does what it says on the tin: it interpolates
between two colors using the given factor.
ClutterColor uses it to register a progress function for Intervals.
When picking a size for the last slice in a texture, Cogl would always
pick the biggest power of two size that doesn't create too much
waste and is less than or equal to the previous slice size. However
this can end up creating a texture that is bigger than needed if there
is a smaller power of two.
For example, if the maximum waste is 127 (the current default) and we
try to create a texture that is 257 pixels wide it will decide that
the next power of two (512) is too much waste (255) so it will create
the first slice at 256 pixels wide. Then we only have 1 pixel left to
allocate but Cogl would pick the next smaller size that has a small
enough waste which is 128. But of course 1 is already a power of two
so that's redundantly oversized by 127.
This patch fixes it so that whenever it finds a size that would be big
enough, instead of using exactly that it picks the next power of two
up from the size we need to fill.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2355
A Clone:source property might be NULL, and we should not penalize
performance when we can just bail out early, because that would kind of
defeat the point.
Whenever the allocation is changed on a child of a ClutterTableLayout
and animations are not in effect then it would store a copy of the
allocation in the child meta data. However it was not freeing the old
copy of the allocation so it would end up with a small leak.
Instead of just changing it to free the old value this patch makes it
store the allocation inline in the meta data struct because it seems
that the size of an actor box is already quite small compared to the
size of the meta data struct so it is probably not worth having a
separate allocation for it. To detect the case when there has not yet
been an allocation a separate boolean is used instead of storing NULL.

All the nifty things you discover when translating strings not exposed
to anyone. First the clutter-wide record of the number of typos in one
string. Second, ClutterTexture happened to have the only property blurbs
ending with a '.', remove them.
the "position" property of ClutterText is really the position of the
cursor. Rename the nick accordingly not to confuse it with the position
of the actor itself and be consistent with all the other cursor-related
properties.
The descriptions for the 'y-align' and 'x-align' properties talk about a
layer and a layer manager. It seems that these properties are the
alignement factors relative to the BinLayout, so document them
accordingly.
There are ordering issues in the pixmap destruction with current and
past X11 server, Mesa and dri2. Under some circumstances, an X pixmap
might be destroyed with the GLX pixmap still referencing it, and thus
the X server will decide to destroy the GLX pixmap as well; then, when
Cogl tries to destroy the GLX pixmap, it gets BadDrawable errors.
Clutter 1.2 used to trap + sync all calls to glXDestroyPixmap(), but
then we assumed that the ordering issue had been solved. So, we're back
to square 1.
I left a Big Fat Comment™ right above the glXDestroyPixmap() call
referencing the bug and the reasoning behind the trap, so that we don't
go and remove it in the future without checking that the issue has been
in fact solved.

* Change their include.
* Add directly a dependency to cally, in order to use the cally.pc

Landing the paint-box branch accidentally added two slots to the
ClutterEffectClass vtable, plus the get_paint_volume() function
pointer. This is an ABI break from 1.4.
Like we do for the Quartz backend, we should turn on the -xobjective-c
compiler flag for the Fruity backend.
This does not mean that the backend actually works.
The marshaller was defined as OBJECT,OBJECT,PARAM but the signal
definition used only two arguments. Since the signal never worked
and we never got any report about it, nobody could be possibly
using the ::child-notify signal.
Since we added child properties to the Container interface we made a
guarantee that the ::child-notify signal would be emitted whenever a
property was set using clutter_container_child_set*().
We were lying.
The child_notify virtual function was not implemented, and the signal
was never emitted.
We also used a G_LIKELY() macro while checking for non-NULL on a
function pointer that was by default set to NULL, thus making the
setting of child properties far less efficient than needed.
The clutter stage has a list of entries of actors waiting to be redrawn.
Each entry has a "clip" ClutterPaintVolume member which represents which
how much of the actor needs to get redrawn. It's possible for there to
be no clip associated with the entry. In this case, the clip member is
invalid, the has_clip member should be set to false.
This commit fixes a bug where the has_clip member was not being
initially, explicitly set to false for new entries, and not being
explicitly set to false in the event the clip associated with the entry
is freed.

In all the changes made recently to how we handle redraws and adding
support for paint-volumes we stopped looking at explicit clip regions
passed to _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip.
In _clutter_actor_finish_queue_redraw we had started always trying to
clip the redraw to the paint-volume of the actor, but forgot to consider
that the user may have already determined the clip region for us!
Now we first check if the given clip != NUll and if so we don't need to
calculate the paint-volume of the actor.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2349
One of the later changes made on the paint volume branch before merging
with master was to make paint volumes opt in only since we couldn't make
any safe assumptions about how custom actors may constrain their
painting. We added very conservative implementations for the existing
Clutter actors - including for ClutterTexture which
ClutterX11TexturePixmap is a sub-class of - but we were conservative to
the extent of explicitly checking the GType of the actor so we would
avoid making any assumptions about sub-classes. The upshot was that we
neglected to implement the get_paint_volume vfunc for
ClutterX11TexturePixmap.
This patch provides an implementation that simply reports the actor's
allocation as its paint volume. Also unlike for other core actors it
doesn't explicitly check the GType so we are assuming that all existing
sub-classes of ClutterX11TexturePixmap constrain their drawing to the
actor's transformed allocation. If anyone does want to draw outside the
allocation in future sub-classes, then they should also provide an
updated get_paint_volume implementation.

When using the debug function _cogl_debug_dump_materials_dot_file to
write a dot file representing the sparse graph of material state we now
only show a link between materials and layers when the material directly
owns that layer reference (i.e. just those referenced in
material->layer_differences) This makes it possible to see when
ancestors of a material are being deferred too for layer state.
For example when looking at the graph if you see that a material has an
n_layers of 3 but there is only a link to 2 layers, then you know you
need to look at it's ancestors to find the last layer.
In 4ee05f8e21 the namespace for the clutter keysym macros were
changed to CLUTTER_KEY_* but the win32 events backend was still
referring to the old names.
GObject ≥ 2.26.0 added a nice convenience call for installing properties
from an array of GParamSpec. Since we're already storing all GParamSpec
in an array in order to use them with g_object_notify_by_pspec(), this
turns out nicely for us.
Since we do not depend on GLib 2.26 (yet), we need to provide a simple
private wrapper that implements the fall back to the default
g_object_class_install_property() call.
ClutterDragAction has been converted as a proof of concept.
During destruction, the StageWindow implementation associated to a Stage
might be NULL. We need to add more checks for a) the IN_DESTRUCTION flag
being set and b) the StageWindow pointer being NULL. Otherwise, we will
get warnings during the destruction of the Stage.
Both of the cogl_texture_2d_sliced_new functions called the
slices_create function which creates the underlying GL
textures. However this was also called by init_base so the textures
would end up being created twice. This would make it leak the GL
textures and the arrays which point to them.
The internal copy of JSON-GLib was meant to go away right after the 1.0
release, given that JSON-GLib was still young and relatively unknown.
Nowadays, many projects started depending on this little library, and
distributions ship it and keep it up to date.
Keeping a copy of JSON-GLib means keeping it up to date; unfortunately,
this would also imply updating the code not just for the API but for the
internal implementations.
Starting with the 1.2 release, Clutter preferably dependend on the
system copy; with the 1.4 release we stopped falling back automatically.
The 1.6 cycle finally removes the internal copy and requires a copy of
JSON-GLib installed on the target system in order to compile Clutter.
Since re-working how redraws are queued it is no longer necessary to
dirty the pick buffer in _clutter_actor_real_queue_redraw since this
should now reliably be handled in _clutter_stage_queue_actor_redraw.
This adds two internal functions relating to explicit traversal of the
scenegraph:
_clutter_actor_foreach_child
_clutter_actor_traverse
_clutter_actor_foreach_child just iterates the immediate children of an
actor, and with a new ClutterForeachCallback type it allows the
callbacks to break iteration early.
_clutter_actor_traverse traverses the given actor and all of its
decendants. Again traversal can be stopped early if a callback returns
FALSE.
The first intended use for _clutter_actor_traverse is to maintain a
cache pointer to the stage for all actors. In this case we will need to
update the pointer for all descendants of an actor when an actor is
reparented in any way.
This adds a private getter to query the number of children an actor has.
One use planned for this API is to avoid calling get_paint_volume on
such actors. (It's not clear what the best semantics for
get_paint_volume are for actors with children, so we are considering
leaving the semantics undefined for the initial clutter 1.4 release)
We now explicitly track the list of children each actor has in a private
GList. This gives us a reliable way to know how many children an actor
has - even for composite actors that don't implement the container
interface. This also will allow us to directly traverse the scenegraph
in a more generalized fashion. Previously the scenegraph was
more-or-less represented implicitly according the implementation of
paint methods.
When using the CLUTTER_PAINT=paint-volumes debug option we try and show
when a paint volume couldn't be determined by drawing a blue outline of
the allocation instead. There was a typo though and instead we were
drawing an outline the size of the stage instead of for the given actor.
This fixes that and removes a FIXME comment relating to the blue outline
that is now implemented.
To allow Clutter to queue clipped redraws when a clone actor changes we
need to be able to report a paint volume for clone actors. This patch
makes ClutterClones query the paint volume of their source actor and
masquerade it as their own volume.
This reverts commit ca44c6a7d8abe9f2c548bee817559ea8adaa7a80.
In reality there are probably lots of actors that depend on the exact
semantics as they are documented so this change isn't really acceptable.
For example when the font changes in ClutterText we only queue a
relayout, and since it's possible that the font will have the same size
and the actor won't get a new allocation it wouldn't otherwise queue a
redraw.
Since queue_redraw requests now get deferred until just before a paint
run it is actually no longer a problem to queue the redraw here.
Instead of immediately, recursively emitting the "queue-redraw" signal
when clutter_actor_queue_redraw is called we now defer this process
until all stage updates are complete. This allows us to aggregate
repeated _queue_redraw requests for the same actor avoiding redundant
paint volume transformations. By deferring we also increase the
likelihood that the actor will have a valid paint volume since it will
have an up to date allocation; this in turn means we will more often be
able to automatically queue clipped redraws which can have a big impact
on performance.
Here's an outline of the actor queue redraw mechanism:
The process starts in clutter_actor_queue_redraw or
_clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip.
These functions queue an entry in a list associated with the stage which
is a list of actors that queued a redraw while updating the timelines,
performing layouting and processing other mainloop sources before the
next paint starts.
We aim to minimize the processing done at this point because there is a
good chance other events will happen while updating the scenegraph that
would invalidate any expensive work we might otherwise try to do here.
For example we don't try and resolve the screen space bounding box of an
actor at this stage so as to minimize how much of the screen redraw
because it's possible something else will happen which will force a full
redraw anyway.
When all updates are complete and we come to paint the stage (see
_clutter_stage_do_update) then we iterate this list and actually emit
the "queue-redraw" signals for each of the listed actors which will
bubble up to the stage for each actor and at that point we will
transform the actors paint volume into screen coordinates to determine
the clip region for what needs to be redrawn in the next paint.
Note: actors are allowed to queue a redraw in reseponse to a
queue-redraw signal so we repeat the processing of the list until it
remains empty. An example of when this happens is for Clone actors or
clutter_texture_new_from_actor actors which need to queue a redraw if
their source queues a redraw.
For Clone actors we will need a way to report the volume of the source
actor as the volume of the clone actor. To make this work though we need
to be able to replace the reference to the source actor with a reference
to the clone actor instead. This adds a private
_clutter_paint_volume_set_reference_actor function to do that.
This adds a way to initialize a paint volume from another source paint
volume. This lets us for instance pass the contents of one paint volume
back through the out param of a get_paint_volume implementation.
This makes clutter_actor_queue_redraw simply bail out early if the actor
isn't a descendant of a ClutterStage since the request isn't meaningful
and it avoids a crash when trying to queue a clipped redraw against the
stage to clear the actors old location.
This splits out all the clutter_paint_volume code from clutter-actor.c
into clutter-paint-volume.c. Since clutter-actor.c and
clutter-paint-volume.c both needed the functionality of
_fully_transform_vertices, this function has now been moved to
clutter-utils.c as _clutter_util_fully_transform_vertices.
There are too many examples where the default assumption that an actor
paints inside its allocation isn't true, so we now return FALSE in the
base implementation instead. This means that by default we are saying
"we don't know the paint volume of the actor", so developers need to
implement the get_paint_volume virtual to take advantage of culling and
clipped redraws with their actors.
This patch provides very conservative get_paint_volume implementations
for ClutterTexture, ClutterCairoTexture, ClutterRectangle and
ClutterText which all explicitly check the actor's object type to avoid
making any assumptions about subclasses.
We were always explicitly checking priv->needs_allocation in
_clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip, but we only need to do that if
the CLUTTER_REDRAW_CLIPPED_TO_ALLOCATION flag is used.
This initializes priv->last_paint_box with a degenerate box, so a newly
allocated actor added to the scenegraph and made visible only needs to
trigger a redraw of its initial position. If we don't have a valid
last_paint_box though we would instead trigger a full stage redraw.
To make comparing the performance with culling/clipped redraws
enabled/disabled fairer we now avoid querying the paint box when they
are disabled, so that results should reflect how the cost of
transforming paint volumes into screen space etc gets offset against the
benefit of culling.
In clutter_stage_allocate at the end we were always querying the latest
allocation set and using the geometry to assert the viewport and then
kicking a full redraw. These only need to be done when the allocation
really changes, so we now read the previous allocation at the start of
the function and compare at the end. This was stopping clipped redraws
from being used in a lot of cases.
To consider that we've see a number of drivers that can struggle to get
going and may produce a bad first frame we now force the first 2 frames
to be full redraws. This became a serious issue after we started using
clipped redraws more aggressively because we assumed that after the
first frame the full framebuffer was valid and we only redraw the
content that changes. With buggy drivers though, applications would be
left with junk covering a lot of the stage until some event triggered a
full redraw.
This is a workaround for a race condition when resizing windows while
there are in-flight glXCopySubBuffer blits happening.
The problem stems from the fact that rectangles for the blits are
described relative to the bottom left of the window and because we can't
guarantee control over the X window gravity used when resizing so the
gravity is typically NorthWest not SouthWest.
This means if you grow a window vertically the server will make sure to
place the old contents of the window at the top-left/north-west of your
new larger window, but that may happen asynchronous to GLX preparing to
do a blit specified relative to the bottom-left/south-west of the window
(based on the old smaller window geometry).
When the GLX issued blit finally happens relative to the new bottom of
your window, the destination will have shifted relative to the top-left
where all the pixels you care about are so it will result in a nasty
artefact making resizing look very ugly!
We can't currently fix this completely, in-part because the window
manager tends to trample any gravity we might set. This workaround
instead simply disables blits for a while if we are notified of any
resizes happening so if the user is resizing a window via the window
manager then they may see an artefact for one frame but then we will
fallback to redrawing the full stage until the cooling off period is
over.
Instead of triggering a full stage redraw for Expose events we use the
geometry of the exposed region given in the event to queue a clipped
redraw of the stage.
Clutter has now taken responsibility for managing its viewport,
projection matrix and view transform as part of ClutterStage so
_cogl_setup_viewport is no longer used by anything, and since it's quite
an obscure API anyway it's we've taken the opportunity to remove the
function.
Since clutter_actor_queue_redraw now automatically clips redraws
according to the paint volume of the actor we have to be careful to
ensure we really force a full redraw when the stage is allocated a new
size or the stage viewport changes.
We have bent the originally documented semantics a bit so now where we
say "Queueing a new layout automatically queues a redraw as well" it
might be clearer to say "Queuing a new layout implicitly queues a redraw
as well if anything in the layout changes".
This should be close enough to the original semantics to not cause any
problems.
Without this change then we we fail to take advantage of clipped redraws
in a lot of cases because queuing a redraw with priv->needs_allocation
== TRUE will automatically be promoted to a full stage redraw since it's
not possible to determine a valid paint-volume.
Also queuing a redraw here will end up registering a redundant clipped
redraw for the current location, doing quite a lot of redundant
transforms, and then later when re-allocated during layouting another
queue redraw would happen with the correct paint-volume.
This uses actor paint volumes to perform culling during
clutter_actor_paint.
When performing a clipped redraw (because only a few localized actors
changed) then as we traverse the scenegraph painting the actors we can
now ignore actors that don't intersect the clip region. Early testing
shows this can have a big performance benefit; e.g. 100% fps improvement
for test-state with culling enabled and we hope that there are even much
more compelling examples than that in the real world,
Most Clutter applications are 2Dish interfaces and have quite a lot of
actors that get continuously painted when anything is animated. The
dynamic actors are often localized to an area of user focus though so
with culling we can completely avoid painting any of the static actors
outside the current clip region.
Obviously the cost of culling has to be offset against the cost of
painting to determine if it's a win, but our (limited) testing suggests
it should be a win for most applications.
Note: we hope we will be able to also bring another performance bump
from culling with another iteration - hopefully in the 1.6 cycle - to
avoid doing the culling in screen space and instead do it in the stage's
model space. This will hopefully let us minimize the cost of
transforming the actor volumes for culling.
This makes clutter_actor_queue_redraw transparently use an actor's paint
volume to queue a clipped redraw.
We save the actors paint box each time it is painted so that when
clutter_actor_queue_redraw is called we can determine the old and new
location of the actor so we know the full bounds of what must be redrawn
to clear its old view and show the new.
This makes _clutter_actor_transform_and_project_box a static function
and removes the prototype from clutter-private.h since it is no longer
used outside clutter-actor.c
The base implementation for the actor queue_relayout method was queuing
an implicit redraw, but there shouldn't be anything implied from the
mere process of queuing a redraw that should force us to queue a redraw.
If actors are moved as a part of relayouting later then they will queue
a redraw. Also clutter_actor_queue_relayout() still also explicitly
queues a redraw so I think this may have been doubly redundant.
If clutter_actor_allocate finds it necessary to update an actors
allocation then it now also queue a redraw of that actor. Currently we
queue redraws for actors very early on when queuing a relayout instead
of waiting to determine the final outcome of relayouting to determine if
a redraw is really required. With this in place we can move away from
preemptive queuing of redraws.
clutter_actor_queue_relayout currently queues a relayout and a redraw,
but the plan is to change it to only queue a relayout and honour the
documentation by assuming that the process of relayouting will
result queuing redraws for any actors whos allocation changes.
This doesn't make that change it just adds an internal
_clutter_actor_queue_only_relayout function which
clutter_actor_queue_relayout now uses as well as calling
clutter_actor_queue_redraw.
This adds a private ->relayout_pending boolean similar in spirit to
redraw_pending. This will allow us to queue a relayout without
implicitly queueing a redraw; instead we can depend on the actions
of a relayout to queue any necessary redraw.
When clutter_texture_new_from_actor is use we need to track when the
source actor queues a redraw or a relayout so we can also queue a redraw
or relayout for the texture actor.
There is an internal _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip API that gets
used for texture-from-pixmap to minimize what we redraw in response to
Damage events. It was previously working in terms of a ClutterActorBox
but it has now been changed so an actor can queue a redraw of volume
instead.
The plan is that clutter_actor_queue_redraw will start to transparently
use _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip when it can determine a paint
volume for the actor.
For the blur effect we use a BLUR_PADDING constant to pad out the volume
of the source actor on the x and y axis. Previously we were offsetting
the origin negatively using BLUR_PADDING and then adding BLUR_PADDING
to the width and height, but we should have been adding 2*BLUR_PADDING
instead.
This ensures that clipped redraws are disabled when using
CLUTTER_PAINT=redraws. This may seem unintuitive given that this option
is for debugging clipped redraws, but we can't draw an outline outside
the clip region and anything we draw inside the clip region is liable to
leave a trailing mess on the screen since it won't be cleared up by
later clipped redraws.
This adds a debug option to visualize the paint volumes of all actors.
When CLUTTER_PAINT=paint-volumes is exported in the environment before
running a Clutter application then all actors will have their bounding
volume drawn in green with a label corresponding to the actors type.
This is a fairly extensive second pass at exposing paint volumes for
actors.
The API has changed to allow clutter_actor_get_paint_volume to fail
since there are times - such as when an actor isn't a descendent of the
stage - when the volume can't be determined. Another example is when
something has connected to the "paint" signal of the actor and we simply
have no way of knowing what might be drawn in that handler.
The API has also be changed to return a const ClutterPaintVolume pointer
(transfer none) so we can avoid having to dynamically allocate the
volumes in the most common/performance critical code paths. Profiling was
showing the slice allocation of volumes taking about 1% of an apps time,
for some fairly basic tests. Most volumes can now simply be allocated on
the stack; for clutter_actor_get_paint_volume we return a pointer to
&priv->paint_volume and if we need a more dynamic allocation there is
now a _clutter_stage_paint_volume_stack_allocate() mechanism which lets
us allocate data which expires at the start of the next frame.
The API has been extended to make it easier to implement
get_paint_volume for containers by using
clutter_actor_get_transformed_paint_volume and
clutter_paint_volume_union. The first allows you to query the paint
volume of a child but transformed into parent actor coordinates. The
second lets you combine volumes together so you can union all the
volumes for a container's children and report that as the container's
own volume.
The representation of paint volumes has been updated to consider that
2D actors are the most common.
The effect apis, clutter-texture and clutter-group have been update
accordingly.
Previously we used the transformed allocation but that doesn't take
into account actors with depth which may be projected outside the
area covered by the transformed allocation.
The blur effect will sample pixels on the edges of the offscreen buffer,
so we want to add a padding to avoid clamping the blur.
We do this by creating a larger target texture, and updating the paint
volume of the actor during paint to take that padding into account.
We should be using the real, on-screen, transformed size of the actor to
size and position the offscreen buffer we use to paint the actor for an
effect.
An Effect implementation might override the paint volume of the actor to
which it is applied to. The get_paint_volume() virtual function should
be added to the Effect class vtable so that any effect can get the
current paint volume and update it.
The clutter_actor_get_paint_volume() function becomes context aware, and
does the right thing if called from within a ClutterEffect pre_paint()
or post_paint() implementation, by allowing all effects in the chain up
to the caller to modify the paint volume.
An actor has an implicit "paint volume", that is the volume in 3D space
occupied when painting itself.
The paint volume is defined as a cuboid with the origin placed at the
top-left corner of the actor; the size of the cuboid is given by three
vectors: width, height and depth.
ClutterActor provides API to convert the paint volume into a 2D box in
screen coordinates, to compute the on-screen area that an actor will
occupy when painted.
Actors can override the default implementation of the get_paint_volume()
virtual function to provide a different volume.
*** WARNING: THIS COMMIT CHANGES THE BUILD ***
Do not recurse into the backend directories to build private, internal
libraries.
We only recurse from clutter/ into the cogl sub-directory; from there,
we don't recurse any further. All the backend-specific code in Cogl and
Clutter is compiled conditionally depending on the macros defined by the
configure script.
We still recurse from the top-level directory into doc, clutter and
tests, because gtk-doc and tests do not deal nicely with non-recursive
layouts.
This change makes Clutter compile slightly faster, and cleans up the
build system, especially when dealing with introspection data.
Ideally, we also want to make Cogl part of the top-level build, so that
we can finally drop the sed trick to change the shared library from the
GIR before compiling it.

ClutterAnimator currently has a number of bugs related to its
referencing of its internal timeline.
1) The default timeline created in _init is not unreffed (it appears the
programmer has wrongly thought ClutterTimeline has a floating reference
based on the use of g_object_ref_sink in _set_timeline)
2) The timeline and slave_timeline vars are unreffed in finalize instead
of dispose
3) The signal handlers set up in _set_timeline are not disconnected when
the animator is disposed

This reorganizes the loop for clutter_actor_contains so that it is a
for loop rather than a while loop. Although this is mostly just
nitpicking, I think this change could make the loop slightly faster if
not optimized because it doesn't perform the self == descendant check
twice and it is clearer.
The documentation for clutter_actor_contains didn't specify what
happens when self==descendant. A strict reading of it might lead you
to think that it would return FALSE because in that case the
descendant isn't an immediate child or a deeper descendant. The code
actually would return TRUE. I think this is more useful so this patch
fixes the docs rather than the code.
When removing all keys in a ClutterAnimator, the hash table with
object/property name pairs went out of sync. This change makes
the animator always clear this hash table upon key-removal; and
refreshing it if the animator's timeline is running.
Fixes bug #2335
Each time a material property changes we look to see if any of its
ancestry has become redundant and if so we prune that redundant
ancestry.
There was a problem with the logic that handles this though because we
weren't considering that a material which is a layer state authority may
still defer to ancestors to define the state of individual layers.
For example a material that derives from a parent with 5 layers can
become a STATE_LAYERS authority by simply changing it's ->n_layers count
to 4 and in that case it can still defer to its ancestors to define the
state of those 4 layers.
This patch checks first if a material is a layer state authority and if
so only tries to prune its ancestry if it also *owns* all the individual
layers it depends on. (I.e. if g_list_length
(material->layer_differences) != material->n_layers then it's not safe
to try pruning its ancestry!)

This is all internal, so we shouldn't need it; unfortunately, it seems
we're passing invalid data internally, so for the time being catching
inconsistencies should at least emit a warning for us to backtrace.
This adds a check in clutter_actor_real_queue_redraw after calling
_clutter_actor_get_stage_internal to check in case the actor doesn't yet
have an associated stage so we can avoid passing a NULL stage pointer to
_clutter_stage_set_pick_buffer_valid which could cause a crash.
*** This is an API change ***
The general pattern for axis-aligned arguments is:
x argument
y argument
If we consider columns an x-aligned argument, and row a y-aligned
argument, then we need to update the TableLayout functions to be:
column
row
and not:
row
column
We have an optimization to track when there are multiple picks per
frame so we can do a full render of the pick buffer to reduce the
number of pick renders for a static scene.
There was a problem though in that we were tracking this information in
the ClutterMainContext, but conceptually this doesn't really make sense
because the pick buffer is associated with a stage framebuffer and there
can be multiple stages for one context.
This patch moves the state tracking to ClutterStage.
This reverts commit d7e86e2696.
This was a half baked patch that was pushed a bit early since it broke
test-texture-pick-with-alpha + the commit message refers to a change on
the wip/paint-box branch that hasn't happened yet.
We have an optimization to track when there are multiple picks per
frames so we can do a full render of the pick buffer to reduce the
number of pick renders for a static scene.
There were two problems with how we were tracking this state though.
Firstly we were tracking this information in the ClutterMainContext, but
conceptually this doesn't really make sense because the pick buffer is
associated with a stage framebuffer and there can be multiple stages for
one context. Secondly - since the change to how redraws are queued - we
weren't marking the pick buffer as invalid when a queuing a redraw, we
were only marking the buffer invalid when signaling/finishing the
queue-redraw process, which is now deferred until just before a paint.
This meant using clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos after a scenegraph
change could give a wrong result if it just read from an existing (but
technically invalid) pick buffer.
This patch moves the state tracking to ClutterStage, and ensures the
buffer is invalidated in _clutter_stage_queue_actor_redraw.

The request mode set by the box layout was previously width-for-height
in a vertical layout and height-for-width in a horizontal layout which
seems to be wrong. For example, if width-for-height is used in a
vertical layout then the width request will come second with the
for_height parameter set. However a vertical layout doesn't pass the
for_height parameter on to its children so doing the requests in that
order doesn't help. If the layout contains a ClutterText then both the
width and height request for it will have -1 for the for_width and
for_height parameters so the text would end up allocated too small.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2328
If set_cogl_texture() is called after unsetting the Texture's material
then we really want to make a copy of the template.
Also, we should assert more often if the internal state goes horribly
wrong: at least, we'll have a backtrace.
The order of the row_span and column_span arguments was different in
the declaration from that in the definition. This was causing the
gtk-doc to also have the wrong order.
If COGL_OBJECT_DEBUG is defined then cogl-object-private.h will call
COGL_NOTE in the ref and unref macros. For this to work the debug
header needs to also be included or COGL_NOTE won't necessarily be
defined.
If the FlowLayout layout manager wasn't allocated the same size it
requested then it should blow its caches and recompute the layout
with the given allocation size.
Instead of using the fixed position and size API, use the newly added
update_allocation() virtual function in ClutterConstraint to change the
allocation of a ClutterActor. This allows using constraints inside
layout managers, and also allows Constraints to react to changes in the
size of an actor without causing relayout cycles.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2319
The Constraint should plug directly into the allocation mechanism, and
modify the allocation of the actor to which they are applied to. This is
similar to the mechanism used by the Effect class to modify the paint
sequence of an actor.
In line with the changes made in f5f066df9c to clean up how Clutter
deals with transformations of actors this patch updates the code in
clutter-offscreen-effect.c. We now query the projection matrix from the
stage instead of the perspective and instead of duplicating the logic to
setup the stage view transform we now use
_clutter_actor_apply_modelview_transform for the stage instead.
cogl_util_next_p2 is declared in cogl-util.h which is a private header
so it shouldn't be possible for an application to use it. It's
probably not a function we'd like to export from Cogl so it seems
better to keep it private. This patch renames it to _cogl_util_next_p2
so that it won't be exported from the shared library.
The documentation for the function is also slightly wrong because it
stated that the function returned the next power greater than
'a'. However the code would actually return 'a' if it's already a
power of two. I think the actual behaviour is more useful so this
patch changes the documentation rather than the code.
Previously CoglVertexBuffer would always set the flush options flags
to at least contain COGL_MATERIAL_FLUSH_FALLBACK_MASK. The code then
later checks whether any flags are set before deciding whether to copy
the material to implement the overrides. This means that it would
always end up copying the material even if there are no fallback
layers. This patch changes it so that it only sets
COGL_MATERIAL_FLUSH_FALLBACK_MASK if fallback_layers != 0.
If a single arbfp program is being shared between multiple CoglMaterials
then we need to make sure we update all program.local params when
switching between materials. Previously we had a dirty flag to track
when combine_constant params were changed but didn't take in to account
that different materials sharing the same program may have different
combine constants.
Previously the backend private state was used to either link to an
authority material or provide authoritative program state. The mechanism
seemed overly complex and felt very fragile. I made a recent comment
which added a lot of documentation to make it easier to understand but
still it didn't feel very elegant.
This patch takes a slightly different approach; we now have a
ref-counted ArbfpProgramState object which encapsulates a single ARBfp
program and the backend private state now just has a single member which
is a pointer to one of these arbfp_program_state objects. We no longer
need to cache pointers to our arbfp-authority and so we can get rid of
a lot of awkward code that ensured these pointers were
updated/invalidated at the right times. The program state objects are
not tightly bound to a material so it will also allow us to later
implement a cache mechanism that lets us share state outside a materials
ancestry. This may help to optimize code not following the
recommendations of deriving materials from templates, avoiding one-shot
materials and not repeatedly modifying materials because even if a
material's ancestry doesn't naturally lead us to shareable state we can
fallback to searching for shareable state using central hash tables.
This adds a way to iterate the layer indices of the given material since
cogl_material_get_layers has been deprecated. The user provides a
callback to be called once for each layer.
Because modification of layers in the callback may potentially
invalidate any number of the internal CoglMaterialLayer structures and
invalidate the material's layer cache this should be more robust than
cogl_material_get_layers() which used to return a const GList *
pointing directly to internal state.
This fixes the material backends to declare their constant vtable in the
c file with a corresponding extern declaration in the header. This
should fix complaints about duplicate symbols seen on OSX.
Instead of lazily incorporating combine constants as arbfp PARAM
constants in the source directly we now use program.local parameters
instead so we can avoid repeating codegen if a material's combine
constant is updated. This should be a big win for applications animating
a constant used for example in an animated interpolation, such as
gnome-shell.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2280
This makes it so we don't consider LAYER_STATE_TEXTURE changes to affect
the arbfp code. This should avoid a lot of unneeded passes of
code generation for applications modifying the texture for a layer.
This makes it so we only notify backends of either a single material
change or a single layer change. Previously all material STATE_LAYERS
changes would be followed by a more detailed layer change.
For backends that perform code generation for fragment processing they
typically need to understand the details of how layers get changed to
determine if they need to repeat codegen. It doesn't help them to report
a material STATE_LAYERS change for all layer changes since it's so
broad, they really need to wait for the layer change to be notified.
What does help though is to report a STATE_LAYERS change for a change in
material->n_layers because they typically do need to repeat codegen in
that case.
This fixes a number of issues relating to how we track the arbfp private
state associated with CoglMaterials. At the same time it adds much more
extensive code documentation to try and make it a bit more approachable.
When notifying a backend about a layer being modified we now pass the
layers current owner for reference. NB: Although a layer can indirectly
be referenced by multiple layers, a layer is considered immutable once
it has dependants, so there is only ever one material associated with a
layer being modified. Passing the material pointer to the backends
layer_pre_change callback can be useful for backends that associate
their private state with materials and may need to update that state in
response to layer changes.
This renames the get_arbfp_authority function to
get_arbfp_authority_no_check to clarify that the function doesn't
validate that the authority cache is still valid by looking at the age
of the referenced material. The function should only be used when we
*know* the cache has already been checked.
We now pass a boolean to _cogl_material_pre_change_notify to know when
a material change is as a result of a layer change. We plan to use this
information to avoid notifying the backends about material changes if
they are as a result of layer changes. This will simplify the handling
of state changes in the backends because they can assume that layer and
material changes are mutually exclusive.
This adds an internal _cogl_material_get_layer_combine_constant function
so we can query the current layer combine constant back. We should
probably make this a public property getter, but for now we just need
this so we can read the constant in the arbfp backend.
We are going to start tracking more per-texture unit state with arbfp
private state so this adds an internal UnitState type and we allocate an
array of these when setting up a new private state structure. The first
thing that has been moved into this is the sampled boolean to know when
a particular texture unit gets sampled from in the generated arbfp code.
This avoids the use of of gcc constructor and destructor attributes to
initialize the cogl uprof context and optionally print a cogl uprof
report at app exit. We now initialize the uprof context in
cogl_context_create instead.
When building with --enable-profile we now depend on the uprof-0.3
developer release which brings a few improvements:
» It lets us "fix" how we initialize uprof so that instead of using a shared
object constructor/destructor (which was a hack used when first adding
uprof support to Clutter) we can now initialize as part of clutter's
normal initialization code. As a side note though, I found that the way
Clutter initializes has some quite serious problems whenever it
involves GOptionGroups. It is not able to guarantee the initialization
of dependencies like uprof and Cogl. For this reason we still use the
contructor/destructor approach to initialize uprof in Cogl.
» uprof-0.3 provides a better API for adding custom columns when reporting
timer and counter statistics which lets us remove quite a lot of manual
report generation code in clutter-profile.c.
» uprof-0.3 provides a shared context for tracking mainloop timer
statistics. This means any mainloop based library following the same
"Mainloop" timer naming convention can use the shared context and no
matter who ends up owning the final mainloop the statistics will always
be in the same place. This allows profiling of Clutter with an
external mainloop such as with the Mutter compositor.
» uprof-0.3 can export statistics over dbus and comes with an ncurses
based ui to vizualize timer and counter stats live.
The latest version of uprof can be cloned from:
git://github.com/rib/UProf.git
When try_creating_fbo fails it deletes any intermediate render buffers
that were created. However it doesn't clear the list so I think if it
failed a second time it would try to delete the render buffers
again. This could potentially cause problems if a subsequent fbo is
created because the destructor for the original might delete the
renderbuffers of the new fbo.
Since a ClutterClone may be allocated a different size than its source
actor we need to apply a scale factor before painting the source actor.
We were manually using cogl_scale to do this in clutter_clone_paint but
really this kind of thing is best handled in an implementation of the
apply_transform virtual so Clutter can be aware of the transform for
other purposes, such as input transformations. Also we want to provide
an implementation of the get_paint_volume virtual where Clutter will
also expect to be able to use the apply_transform virtual to transform
the volume into its parent's coordinate space.
If a NULL clip is passed to clutter_stage_glx_add_redraw_clip then we
update the redraw clip to have width of 0, but we weren't setting
stage_glx->initialized_redraw_clip = TRUE. This could result in a full,
unclipped stage redraw being reduced to a clipped redraw.
This adds a verbose warning that will be displayed if
clutter_actor_allocate is passed an actor that isn't a descendent of a
ClutterStage. Layouting should always bubble up from a stage so this
condition is likely to indicate a buggy container that allocating a
child that it has already unparented.
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 adds _clutter_actor_get_stage_internal to clutter-private.h since
we plan to use it in clutter-offscreen-effect when preparing to
redirect an actor offscreen.
Instead of doing the shlib trick, build ClutterJson (if needed) inside
the top-level clutter/ directory - similar to a non-recursive layout.
Hopefully, one day, we'll be able to do this with a real non-recursive
layout.
Let's try to keep Cogl's build as non-recursive as possible, in the hope
that one day we'll be able to make it fully non-recursive along with the
rest of Clutter.
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.
Make sure we don't use deprecated API internally by adding
CLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATED to the AM_CPPFLAGS.
This requires adding -UCLUTTER_DISABLE_DEPRECATED to the introspection
scanner CFLAGS, otherwise the deprecated API will never be introspected
and the data generated will not be compatible.
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.

Flushing the framebuffer state can cause some drawing to occur if the
framebuffer has a clip stack which needs the stencil buffer. This was
causing the array pointers set up by enable_state_for_drawing_buffer
to get mangled so it would crash when it hits glDrawArrays. This patch
moves the framebuffer state flush to before it sets up the array
pointers.

I think this is what commit 2cf1405506 intended to do since it
specifically mentioned cleaning up the trap in
clutter_x11_texture_pixmap_set_pixmap, but although it moved the untrap
to only be done in the case where Pixmap != None it left the position of
the trap itself unchanged. This meant the error trapping wouldn't be
balanced if pixmap == None since the untrap wouldn't be done. We now
only trap and untrap around the XGetGeometry call done when pixmap !=
None.

*** This is an API change ***
Replaced the original drag-threshold property with two separate
horizontal (x-drag-threshold) and vertical (y-drag-threshold)
thresholds.
It is some times necessary to have different drag thresholds for the
horizontal and vertical axes. For example, when a draggable actor is
inside a horizontal scrolling area, only vertical movement must begin
dragging. That can be achieved by setting the x-drag-threshold to
G_MAXUINT while y-drag-threshold is something usual, say, 20 pixels.
This is different than drag axis, because after the threshold
has been cleared by the pointer, the draggable actor can be dragged
along both axes (if allowed by the drag-axis property).

Creating new materials for every Texture instance results in a lot of
ARBfp programs being generated/compiled. Since most textures will just
be similar we should create a template material for all of them, and
then copy it in every instance. Cogl will try to optimize the generation
of the program and, hopefully, will reuse the same program most of the
time.
With this change, a simple test shows that loading 48 textures will
result in just two programs being compiled - with and without batching
enabled.

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.
• Use the public COGL_HAS_GLES[12] define instead of the HAVE_COGL_*
ones which are private and defined in config.h,
• Install clutter-egl-headers.h which is needed by clutter-egl.h,
• Remove clutter-stage.h as it's uneeded and does not work since the
single clutter.h include policy,
• Install the egl headers into their own egl directory as the x11 and
glx backends do. The include should then be <clutter/egl/clutter-egl.h>,
so document it. It does not really break anything as nobody could
have used those broken headers.
Intel CE3100 and CE4100 SoCs are designed for TVs. They have separate
framebuffers that are blended together by a piece of hardware to make
the final output. The library that allows you to initialize and
configure those planes is called GDL. A EGL GDL winsys can then be
use with those planes as NativeWindowType to select which plane to use.
This patch adds a new ClutterBackendCex100 backend that can be
selected at compile time with the new --with-flavour=cex100 option.
Some minor fixes here and there: missing include, wrongly placed #endif,
unused variable warning fixes, missing #ifdef.
Make ClutterStageEGL a subclass of either ClutterStageX11 or GObject
depending if you compile with X11 support (EGLX) or not (native).
*** 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.
Commit eae4561929 tried to clean how it checks for the private actor
flags. However the check for the 'IN_DESTRUCTION' flag in the Win32
backend got inverted so it would always clear the current
context. This was causing _cogl_check_driver_valid to fail later and
then the realize would get stuck in a infinite loop.
When we free a state because there are no more keys with it as a target use a
goto to re-initialize temporary variables that have become invalid.

In 965907deb3 the picking was changed to render the full stage
instead of a single pixel whenever picking is performed more than once
between paints. However the condition in the if-statement was
backwards so it would end up always doing a full stage render.
The glx and egl(x) backends export some internal symbols. Hide these
symbols (using '_' prefix) to reduce ABI differentiation between the
glx and eglx flavours.

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.
This clarifies the documentation for clutter_actor_queue_redraw to
explain that custom actors should call this whenever some private state
changes that affects painting *or* picking.
The expectation is that actors should call clutter_actor_queue_redraw
when ever some private state changes that affects painting *or* picking.
ClutterTexture was not doing this for pick_with_alpha property changes.
The idea is that if we see multiple picks per frame then that implies
the visible scene has become static. In this case we can promote the
next pick render to be unclipped so we have valid pick values for the
entire stage. Now we can continue to read from this cached buffer until
the stage contents do visibly change.
Thanks to Luca Bruno on #clutter for this idea!
Weak materials are ones that don't take a reference on their parent and
they are associated with a callback that notifies when the material is
destroyed, because its parent was freed or modified.

For now the concept is internal only but the plan is to make this public
at some point once we have tested the design internally.
Following the commits:
c03544da - clutter-shader: use cogl_program_set_uniform_xyz API
a26119b5 - tests: Remove use of cogl_program_use
Remove the users of cogl_program_uniform_* and cogl_program_use() in the
shader-based effects.
In the case where there is no error log for arbfp we were returning a
"" string literal. The other paths were using g_strdup to return a
string that could be freed with g_free. This makes the arbfp path return
g_strdup ("") instead.
There are quite a few if {} else {} blocks for dealing with arbfp else
glsl and the first block is guarded with #ifdef HAVE_COGL_GL. In this
case though the #endif was before the else so it wouldn't compile for
gles.
We need to include cogl-shader-private.h to have the
COGL_SHADER_TYPE_GLSL define. When building for opengl this wasn't
noticed probably because some other header indirectly includes this
file. It was a problem when building for gles2 though.
Instead of using the deprecated cogl_program_uniform_xyz functions we
now use the cogl_program_set_uniform methods. It looks like this should
also fix a problem with clutter-shader too in that previously we weren't
calling cogl_program_use before cogl_program_uniform_xyz so setting
uniforms would only work while the shader is enabled.
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

CoglAtlas chooses a fairly large default initial size of either
512x512 or 1024x1024 depending on the texture format. There is a
chance that this size will not be supported on some platforms which
would be catastrophic for the glyph cache because it would mean that
it would always fail to put any glyphs in the cache so text wouldn't
work. To fix this the atlas code now checks whether the chosen initial
size is supported by the texture driver and if not it will get halved
until it is supported.
Previously when creating a new rectangle map it would try increasingly
larger texture sizes until GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE is reached. This is bad
because it queries state which should really be owned by the texture
driver. Also GL_MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE is often a conservative estimate so
larger texture sizes can be used if the proxy texture is queried
instead.
Previously each node in the rectangle map tree would store the total
remaining space in all of its children to use as an optimization when
adding nodes. With this it could skip an entire branch of the tree if
it knew there could never be enough space for the new node in the
branch. This modifies that slightly to instead store the largest
single gap. This allows it to skip a branch earlier because often
there would be a lot of small gaps which would add up to enough a
space for the new rectangle, but the space can't be used unless it is
in a single node.
The rectangle map still needs to keep track of the total remaining
space for the whole map for the debugging output so this has been
added back in to the CoglRectangleMap struct. There is a separate
debugging function to verify this value.
Previously when the atlas needs to be migrated it would start by
trying with the same size as the existing atlas if there is enough
space for the new texture. However even if the atlas is completely
sorted there will always be some amount of waste so when the atlas
needs to grow it would usually end up redundantly trying the same size
when it is very unlikely to fit. This patch changes it so that there
must be at least 6% waste available after the new texture is added
otherwise it will start with the next atlas size.
When iterating over the rectangle map a stack is used to implement a
recursive algorithm. Previously this was slice allocating a linked
list. Now it uses a GArray which is retained with the rectangle map to
avoid frequent allocations which is a little bit faster.
Previously the remaining space was managed as part of the
CoglRectangleMap struct. Now it is stored per node so that at any
point in the hierarchy we can quickly determine how much space is
remaining in all of the node's children. That way when adding a
rectangle we can miss out entire branches more quickly if we know that
there is no way the new rectangle would fit in that branch.
This also adds a function to recursively verify the cached state in
the nodes such as the remaining space and the number of
rectangles. This function is only called when the dump-atlas-image
debug flag is set because it is potentially quite slow.
The glyph cache is now stored in a CoglAtlas structure instead of the
custom atlasing code. This has the advantage that it can share code
with the main texture atlas and that it supports reorganizing the
atlas when it becomes full. Unlike the texture atlas, the glyph cache
can use multiple atlases which would be neccessary if the maximum
texture size is reached and we need to create a second
texture. Whenever a display list is created it now has to register a
callback with the glyph cache so that the display list can be
recreated whenever any of the atlases are reorganized. This is needed
because the display list directly stores texture coordinates within
the atlas texture and they would become invalid when the texture is
moved.
The ensure_glyphs_for_layout now works in two steps. First it reserves
space in the atlas for all of the glyphs. The atlas is created with
the DISABLE_MIGRATION flag so that it won't actually copy any textures
if any rearranging is needed. Whenever the position is updated for a
glyph then it is marked as dirty. After space for all of the glyphs
has been reserved it will iterate over all dirty glyphs and redraw
them using Cairo. The rendered glyph is then stored in the texture
with a sub texture update.
The glyphs need to all be set at the right location before starting to
create the display list because the display list stores the texture
coordinates of the glyph. If any of the glyphs were moved around then
the parts of the display list that was created already would become
invalid. To make this work, ensure_glyphs_for_layout is now always
called before rendering a layout or a layout line.
_cogl_atlas_new now has two extra parameters to specify the format of
the textures it creates as well as a set of flags to modify the
behavious of the atlas. One of the flags causes the new textures to be
cleared and the other causes migration to avoid actually copying the
textures. This is needed to use CoglAtlas from the pango glyph cache
because it needs to use COGL_PIXEL_A_8 and to clear the textures as it
does not fill in the gaps between glyphs. It needs to avoid copying
the textures so that it can work on GL implementations without FBO
support.
Instead of storing a pointer to the CoglRectangleMap and a handle to
the atlas texture in the context, there is a now a separate data
structure called a CoglAtlas to manage these two. The context just
contains a pointer to this. The code to reorganise the atlas has been
moved from cogl-atlas-texture.c to cogl-atlas.c
This adds an internal CoglCallbackList type which is just a GSList of
of function pointers along with a data pointer to form a
closure. There are functions to add and remove items and to invoke the
list of functions. This could be used in a number of places in Cogl.
This simply renames CoglAtlas to CoglRectangleMap without making any
functional changes. The old 'CoglAtlas' is just a data structure for
managing unused areas of a rectangle and it doesn't neccessarily have
to be used for an atlas so it wasn't a very good name.
Textures within a layer were compared for equality by comparing their
texture handle. However this means that sub textures and atlas
textures which may be internally using the same GL handle would not be
batched together. Instead it now tries to determine the underlying GL
handle using either the slice override or _cogl_texture_get_gl_texture
and then compares those.
When filtering on allowed formats for atlas textures, it now masks out
the BGR and AFIRST bits in addition to the premult bit. That way it
will accept RGB and RGBA formats in any component order.
In theory it could also accept luminance and alpha-only textures but I
haven't added this because presumably if the application has requested
these formats then it has some reason not to use a full RGB or RGBA
texture and we should respect that.
See commits:
7daeb217 blur-effect: Do not inherit from ShaderEffect
1ec57743 desaturate-effect: Do not inherit from ShaderEffect
We might avoid using shaders at all in the future for simple effects.
Since BlurEffect and DesaturateEffect are using the shader API
implicitly and not using ClutterShaderEffect, we need to check if the
underlying GL implementation supports the GLSL shading language and warn
if not.
Hide the fact that we're using a fragment shader, in case we're able in
the future to use a material layer combine function when painting the
offscreen target texture.
We might want to switch the BlurEffect from a box-blur to a
super-sampling of the texture target, in order to make it cheap(er).
If we inherit from ShaderEffect, though, we're setting in stone the
fact that we are going to use a fragment shader for blurring.
Since there is not parametrization of the blur, the code necessary
to implement effect is pretty small, and we can use the Cogl API
directly.
Instead of calling cogl_program_use() around the paint_target()
chain-up, we can use the newly added API in CoglMaterial to attach
user-defined shaders to the offscreen target material.

bin-layout: Migrate to allocate_align_fill()
actor: Add allocate_align_fill()
test-flow-layout: Use BindConstraints
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.

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.
