Introduces basic concepts (timelines, alphas, frames)
common to different parts of the Clutter animation API.
Gives a high level overview of the three different
approaches to animation (implicit, ClutterAnimator,
ClutterState).
Added a new recipe (based on the skeleton in the
animations section of the cookbook) about inverting
an animation by reversing the direction of its timeline.
Uses clutter_actor_animate() as the basic approach,
but mentions ClutterState and ClutterAnimator as well.
I had changed the build so CSS files get put into
the HTML build directory; but done it in such
a way that they were then being ignored during
install. Fixed this.
There was a note about constants for keys and
where they are defined in Clutter header files; but
the sentence about where key modifiers are defined
was outside the note. Logically, they belong
together.
In some cases, there were blocks of text which
were really asides/interrupts to the flow, but
which weren't explicitly marked as such. I fixed
them by turning them into <note> blocks.
Made usage of docbook elements consistent across
recipes; to ensure the conventions are kept by others,
added a section about how to write and style recipes.
Create two HTML versions of the cookbook:
• single page
• multiple pages
Use the online version of the DocBook XHTML XSL, and disable the PDF
generation until we can restore it.
Use a modified version of the Poky Handbook CSS for the HTML version of
the Cookbook.
Promote Elliot as author.
Re-license from the GPLv2.0 to the CC BY-NC-SA 2.0.
Apparently, xsltproc recognizes a directory if it has a '/' at the end
of its path, and not by doing the sensible thing and stat()'ing the
argument for the --output option.
Attached patch contains a cookbook recipe about key press event
handling.
It covers both a simple approach (connecting a callback to a
key-press-event signal which manually analyses the key and
modifiers), and a more complicated one based on a binding pool.
There's also some discussion of the two approaches.

The cookbook contains a commented-out recipe covering scaling images
inside a texture while retaining their aspect ratio; the attached
patch fleshes out this recipe.

The Clutter cookbook has a chapter for textures. It would be useful to
provide a recipe on simple uses of ClutterCairoTexture as part of that.
Some suggested content is attached.
• Make the manual a DevHelp book
• Make the generation of PDFs of the cookbook and the manual optional
• Consequently, make the hard dependency on jw optional
• Clean up the checks and build for the additional documentation
Instead of creating stand-alone HTML files, use XSLT to transform the
DocBook into a DevHelp file, so that we can read the Cookbook inside
DevHelp -- just like the API reference.
The first recipe shows how to be notified when the relative position
and size of an actor changes using the notify:: signal on the actor's
dimensional and positional properties.
The "Clutter Cookbook" is a document designed to contain solutions
to common problems applications developers might encounter when using
Clutter. It is meant as a companion to the API reference but it
requires knowledge of the Clutter API and framework.
