Allow a ClutterModel to be constructed through the ClutterScript API.
Currently this allows a model to be generated like like this:
{
"id" : "test-model",
"type" : "ClutterListModel",
"columns" : [
[ "text-column", "gchararray" ],
[ "int-column", "gint" ],
[ "actor-column", "ClutterRectangle" ]
]
}
where 'columns' is an array containing arrays of column-name,
column-type pairs.

The whole point of having the Animator class is that the developer can
describe a complex animation using ClutterScript. Hence, ClutterAnimator
should hook into the Script machinery and parse a specific description
format for its keys.
ClutterAnimator is a class for managing the animation of multiple
properties of multiple actors over time with keyframing of values.
The Animator class is meant to be used to effectively describe
animations using the ClutterScript definition format, and to construct
complex implicit animations from the ground up.

The coverage of the Behaviour sub-classes is currently abysmal. An
initial test suite for Behaviours should at least verify that the
accessors and the constructors are doing the right thing.
This initial test suite just verifies the BehaviourOpacity sub-class,
but it already bumps up the overall coverage by 2%.
• 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
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.
The main COGL header cogl.h is currently created at configure time
because it conditionally includes the driver-dependent defines. This
sometimes leads to a stale cogl.h with old definitions which can
break the build until you clean out the whole tree and start from
scratch.
We can generate a stable cogl-defines.h at build time from the
equivalent driver-dependent header and let cogl.h include that
file instead.
The build for interactive tests creates symbolic links for the data
under tests/data; it also uses symbolic links for creating "binaries"
for each interactive test. This is less than ideal, though.
Instead, the tests should build a path to the data files by using
a pre-processor define like TESTS_DATADIR; both g_build_filename() and
pre-processor string concatenation can be used to generate a valid
file name with the full path to the files.
The build system should also create wrapper scripts, just like we
do inside the conformance test suite, to be able to launch single
tests.
The ClutterScript parser needs to be extended to parse child properties
and apply them after an actor has been added to a container. In order to
distinguish child properties from regular GObject properties we can use
the "child::" prefix, e.g.:
{
"type" : "ClutterRectangle",
"id" : "child-01",
"child::has-focus" : true,
...
}
Parsing child properties can be deferred to the ClutterScriptable
interface, just like regular properties.
ClutterScript is a very complicated piece of machinery, with a
parser that has custom variations on top of the basic JSON
format; it could also be extended in the future, so if we don't
want to introduce regressions or break existing ClutterScript
definitions, we'd better have a conformance test suite.

When computing the pixels value of a ClutterUnits value we should
be caching the value to avoid recomputing for every call of
clutter_units_to_pixels(). We already have a flag telling us to
return the cached value, but we miss the mechanism to evict the
cache whenever the Backend settings affecting the conversion, that
is default font and resolution, change.
In order to implement the eviction we can use a "serial"; the
Backend will have an internal serial field which we retrieve and
put inside the ClutterUnits structure (we split one of the two
64 bit padding fields into two 32 bit fields to maintain ABI); every
time we call clutter_units_to_pixels() we compare the units serial
with that of the Backend; if they match and pixels_set is set to
TRUE then we just return the stored pixels value. If the serials
do not match then we unset the pixels_set flag and recompute the
pixels value.
We can verify this by adding a simple test unit checking that
by changing the resolution of ClutterBackend we get different
pixel values for 1 em.

FlowLayout is a layout manager that arranges its children in a
reflowing line; the orientation controls the major axis for the
layout: horizontal, for reflow on the Y axis, and vertical, for
reflow on the X axis.
The size requisition and allocation mechanisms should be thoroughly
tested to avoid unwanted regressions.
For starters, we can test the explicit size setting and the side
effects of calling clutter_actor_set_size().
We need to test that the depth sorting of ClutterGroup works correctly
in case we wish to change the data structure that stores the children,
and do so without changing the default behaviour.
Units as they have been implemented since Clutter 0.4 have always been
misdefined as "logical distance unit", while they were just pixels with
fractionary bits.
Units should be reworked to be opaque structures to hold a value and
its unit type, that can be then converted into pixels when Clutter needs
to paint or compute size requisitions and perform allocations.
The previous API should be completely removed to avoid collisions, and
a new type:
ClutterUnits
should be added; the ability to install GObject properties using
ClutterUnits should be maintained.
Clutter copies the gtk-doc from the usual gtk+ template, and
has a version.xml.in containing only:
@VERSION@
Without a newline at the end. Unfortunately, it appears that
autoconf has started adding a newline to the generated version.xml
which then is used as the payload for the "version" XML entity.
Instead of using a secondary file we can make configure generate
the whole clutter-docs.xml and cogl-docs.xml files from a template;
this way we also get the ability to substitute more autoconf variables
into the documentation -- if needs be.
