This recipe explains how to "reuse" the same animation
definition for different actors, by creating a new
instance of a "rig" (empty container) and animation
for the rig each time the animation is required.
An actor is then re-parented to the rig and animated
using it, rather than being animated directly.
JSON is used to define the rig + animator, to make
creating new instances of them simpler. The recipe
also discusses various caveats around using this
approach, rather than directly animating an actor.
Modified the "animation reuse" sample code to provide
a simpler example to explain in the recipe.
Also modified variable names to mirror the names used
for the previous "complex animation" example and added
some more comments, to further simplify and support the
recipe.
With some help from pippin, moved variable declarations
into more sensible positions within their functions,
changed a function name, and found a better way
to unref a script once its associated actor has
been destroyed.
Extracted the animation into its own JSON definition,
then create a new script and get the animation each
time a rectangle is clicked.
Removes the need to reparent onto the background and
copy property values to the rectangle after the animation,
and generally much cleaner.
Added an example showing how to reuse a ClutterAnimator
instance to animate multiple actors at different times
using an animatable rig, combined with reparenting.
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.

If we're depending on an uninstalled .gir, use --include-uninstalled.
We need to explicitly specify Cogl to let the scanner know it's also
uninstalled.

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.

This requires some autotools magic when setting up the environment
through autogen.sh, because autoreconf does not do the right thing
by default.
The correct order for setting up localization is:
‣ autopoint
‣ aclocal
‣ ...
otherwise aclocal will copy the system's gettext.m4 instead of honouring
the version we specified with AM_GNU_GETTEXT_VERSION in configure.ac.
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.

With currently distributed versions of Mesa, calling XFreePixmap()
before glxDestroyPixmap() will cause an X error from DRI. So, we
need to make sure that we get rid of the CoglTexturePixmapX11 before
we XFreePixmap().
clutter_x11_texture_pixmap_dispose(): Call
clutter_x11_texture_pixmap_set_pixmap() instead of using XFreePixmap
directly so that we leverage the text-clearing hack and destroy
things in the right order.
clutter_x11_texture_pixmap_set_pixmap(): Don't do a pointless roundtrip
and trap a pointless error when setting pixmap to None.
clutter_x11_texture_pixmap_set_pixmap(): Free damage resources when
we are setting Pixmap to None.
clutter_x11_texture_pixmap_set_window(): When setting a new window
or setting the window to None, immedediately call
cluter_x11_texture_pixmap_set_pixmap(). This means that set_window(None)
immediately will free any referenced resources related to the window.

Comprehensively add (out) annotations to functions parameters
returning int/float/double.
Not handled here: structure out returns like ClutterColor or
ClutterPerspective or GValue that should get (out caller-allocates).

Since we're not using intltool, and since we need to let people on
Transifex generate their translations, we need to add the POT file
to the repository.
We are finally able to add the properties nicks and blurbs to the list
of translatable strings, for UI builders to use. This means bumping the
list of strings from 20-ish to a whopping 400. Whoopsie.
Remove the fix-ups for shave and gtk-doc with libtool 1.5: we don't use
shave any more, and we require libtool 2.2.
Also remove the unnecessary autopoint: we use autoreconf, which calls it
automatically.
(element-type) should have a full name like Clutter.Actor rather than
a non-namespaced name like Actor. gobject-introspection has become
more strict about this with the recent scanner rewrite.
