Instead of using our own homegrown alpha functions, we should
use the easing functions also shared by other animation frameworks,
like jQuery and Tween, in the interests of code portability.
The easing functions have been defined by Robert Penner and
are divided into three categories:
In Out InOut
Each category has a particular curve:
Quadratic
Cubic
Quartic
Quintic
Sinusoidal
Exponential
Circular
In addition, there are "physical" curves:
Elastic
Back (overshooting cubic)
Bounce (exponentially decaying parabolic)
Finally, the Linear curve is also provided as a reference.
The functions are private, and are meant to be used only
through their logical id as provided by the AnimationMode
enumeration.
The tests should be updated as well to match the new
easing functions.
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.
* clutter/clutter-alpha.h:
* clutter/clutter-alpha.c:
(clutter_alpha_set_mode): Use a lookup table to find the alpha
function given the animation mode.
(clutter_exp_in_func),
(clutter_exp_out_func),
(clutter_exp_in_out_func): Add new exponential functions.
* clutter/clutter-script.c: Update the lookup table with the
new animation modes; match "linear" to the ramp-inc alpha
function.
* clutter/clutter-types.h: Add new AnimationMode values.
* tests/interactive/test-easing.c: Update the easing functions
test.
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.
Bug 882 - Allow child properties for containers implementing the
ClutterContainer interface (Øyvind Kolås)
* clutter/clutter-child-meta.[ch]: Base class for the metadata
of a ClutterActor inside a ClutterContainer; the ChildMeta
object implements a wrapper for storing data that is attached
to a ClutterActor only when it's part of a ClutterContainer.
The ChildMeta object is used to store the child properties
accessible through the ClutterContainer API.
* clutter/clutter-container.[ch]: Creates the ChildMeta for
each actor, in case the Container specifies the ChildMeta
type to use.
* clutter/Makefile.am: Add clutter-child-meta.[ch] to the build.
* clutter/clutter-marshal.list: Add the marshaller for the
ClutterContainer::child-notify signal.
* clutter/clutter-types.h: Declare ClutterContainer and
ClutterChildMeta to avoid recursive inclusion.
* clutter/clutter-actor.[ch]:
* clutter/clutter-types.h:
* doc/reference/clutter-docs.sgml: Fix a lot of documentation.

Remove the layout containers: they will be moved to a
high-level library.
* clutter/clutter.h:
* clutter/Makefile.am: Remove layout and boxes from the
build.
* clutter/clutter-layout.[ch]: Remove the ClutterLayout
interface.
* clutter/clutter-box.[ch]:
* clutter/clutter-hbox.[ch]:

* tests/Makefile.am:
* tests/test-boxes.c: Remove the boxes test case.

Initial implementation of actors emmitting event signals (423);
- Actors set_reactive() to receive mouse events.
(call clutter_enable_motion_events() for per action motion events)
- clutter_stage_set_key_focus () to direct key events.
- Events bubble up to parents (ending at stage)
(original source identified by clutter_event_get_source())
TODO:
- enter/leave notifys for actors.
- stage specific events - fullscreen
- grabs
* tests/test-events.c:
Extend a little to use new API
* clutter/cogl/gl/cogl.c:
* clutter/glx/clutter-backend-glx.c:
Move get_proc_address into cogl and out of backend.
(shaders will need it)
* clutter/clutter-group.c: (clutter_group_real_lower):
Fix a minor compile warning.
* TODO:
Sync up.
ClutterBox is meant to work like the HTML boxing model: it has a margin and
a backgrdound color, and every child actor is added with a pack type and a
padding. The ClutterBoxChild structure holds the child actor, the padding,
the packing type and the allocated coordinates for the actor.
* clutter/clutter-types.h: Document ClutterGravity enumeration
and remove the only incomplete symbol of the api reference. Now
we are up to 79% documented symbols.
