It is possible, by calling clutter_set_motion_events_enabled() prior to
the creation of any stage, to control the per-actor motion event
delivery flag on each newly created stage. Since we deprecated the
global accessor functions in favour of the per-Stage ones, we need to
remove the call to clutter_get_motion_events_enabled() inside the
ClutterStage instance initialization, and replace it with an internal
function.
This code will go away when we can finally break API and remove the
deprecated functions.
Complete the quest of commit bc548dc862
by making the ClutterStage methods for controlling the per-actor motion
and crossing event delivery public, and deprecating the global ones.
Although this patch doesn't make them public, it documents the
_clutter_actor_get/apply_relative_transform_matrix functions so they
could easily be made public if desired. I think these API could be
useful to have publicly, and I originally documented them because I
thought they would be needed in the MX toolkit.
Previously ClutterActor was using priv->propagated_one_redraw to
determine whether to pass CLUTTER_EFFECT_PAINT_ACTOR_DIRTY to the
paint method of the effect. This isn't a good idea because the
propagated_one_redraw flag is cleared whenever clutter_actor_paint is
called, even if the actor isn't actually painted because of the zero
opacity shortcut. Instead of this, ClutterActor now has a separate
flag called is_dirty that gets set whenever queue_redraw_full is
called or whenever the queue redraw signal is bubbled up from a child
actor. The flag is only cleared in clutter_actor_paint if the effects
are actually run. Therefore it will stay set even if the opacity is
zero or if the parent actor decides not to paint the child.
Previously there were two places set propagated_one_redraw to FALSE -
once if the opacity is zero and once just before we emit the paint
signal. Now that propagated_one_redraw is only used to determine
whether to pass on the queue redraw signal it seems to make sense to
just clear it in one place right at the start of clutter_actor_paint.

On reviewing the clutter-actor.c code using
_apply_modelview_transform_recursive I noticed various comments stating
that it will never call the stage's ->apply_transform vfunc to transform
into eye coordinates, but actually looking at the implementation that's
not true. The comments probably got out of sync with an earlier
implementation that had that constraint. This removes the miss-leading
comments and also updates various uses of the api where we were manually
applying the stage->apply_transform.
Instead of using the cogl_vertex_buffer API this uses the more concise
cogl_primitive API instead. The aim is to get rid of the
cogl_vertex_buffer API eventually so we should be trying out the
replacement API wherever possible.
When using CLUTTER_PAINT=paint-volumes to visualize the paint-volumes of
actors we were already disabling clipped-redraws because we are drawing
extra geometry that the actors don't know about but we didn't disable
culling. This was resulting in actors disappearing while using this
debug option.
This makes sure we don't try and draw paint-volumes or culling results
during a pick cycle since that results in us reading back invalid ids
from the pick-buffer.
This adds CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-offscreen-redirect to help diagnose
problems with the correct opacity changes. This just makes it so that
it never installs the flatten effect so it will never automatically
redirect an actor offscreen.
This removes the pv->is_xis_aligned assertion in
_clutter_paint_volume_union. We were already considering the case where
the second volume may not be axis aligned and aligning it into a
temporary variable in that case, but we now also consider that the first
pv may also not be aligned.
The removes the pv->is_complete assertion from
_clutter_paint_volume_axis_align() and instead if the volume isn't
complete it calls _clutter_paint_volume_complete().
When calculating the union of a volume with an empty volume we aim to
simply take the contents of the non-empty volume, but we were not
copying the flags across. We now use
_clutter_paint_volume_set_from_volume which copies all the flags except
the is_static flag.
In _clutter_paint_volume_set_from_volume we were using memcpy to simply
copy everything from one volume to another, but that meant we were
trashing the is_static flag which determines if the destination
paint-volume was slice allocated or not.
This removes the constraint that a paint-volume must be axis aligned
before _clutter_paint_volume_complete can be called. NB: A paint volume
is represented by one origin vertex and then three axis vertices to
define the width, height and depth of the volume. It's straightforward
to use the vectors from the origin to the axis vertices to deduce the
other 4 vertices so we can remove the is_axis_aligned assertion.
Since eef9078f the translation of the camera away from the z=zero
plane was hardcoded at 50 which is approximately half way between the
default z_near and z_far values. This ended up with quite a small
distance in user-space coordinates to the far plane with the default
stage size and this was causing test-texture-quality to clip the actor
early.
This patch makes it try to calculate a reasonable value for the
position of the z=0 plane as well as a value for z_far so we maximize
the space in between the z=0 plane and the near plane and we have a
predictable amount of space behind the stage before hitting the far
clipping plane, while considering the trade off of loosing depth
precision by pushing the far plane too far back relative to the near
plane.
With the default fov of 60° it's not possible to use the stage size to
define the gap in-front of the stage plane; only ~87% of the stage size
is possible as an upper limit. We make 85% of the stage_height available
assuming you have a fov of 60°. We consistently provide 10 times the
stage height of space behind the stage regardless of the fov.
It seems worth noting here that we went around in circles a few times
over how to calculate the gaps since there are a number of trade offs to
consider and they also affect the complexity of the solution. In the end
we went for simplicity but commented the issues well enough hopefully so
we can develop a more elaborate solution if we ever have a use-case.

Since eef9078f ClutterStage updates the aspect ratio of the
perspective matrix whenever the size of the stage changes. This meant
that if an application tries to set its own perspective matrix then
part of it would get overridden. It's not really clear what the
use-case of setting the perspective on the stage should be but it
seems like the safest bet is to always try to preserve the
application's request. The documentation for the function has been
tweaked to discourage its use.

Some parts of the StageWindow interface aren't meaningful for all window
systems. This makes stage_window_set_title/fullscreen/cursor_visible
optional instead of requiring those window systems to implement empty
stubs. Notably the empty stubs we had in the Cogl backend (previously
the EGL backend) used g_warning to report the feature as unsupported and
that was causing conformance test failures.
Since GLX and EGL are abstracted by Cogl the two backends are both
implementing everything using the Cogl API and they are almost
identical.
This updates the egl backend to support everything that the glx backend
supports. Now that EGL and GLX are abstracted by Cogl, the plan is that
we will squash the clutter-egl/glx backends into one. Since the EGL
backend in clutter can conditionally not depend on X11 we will use the
EGL backend as the starting point of our common backend.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=649826
We hadn't updated the egl backend inline with a change to the arguments
that cogl_onscreen_x11_set_foreign_window_xid would expect and that was
causing a compilation error.

Do not just allow animating states connected to signals: add a "warp"
optional key that ends up calling clutter_state_warp_to_state(). This
is useful for debugging.
Currently, defining states for object signals can only be done by
defining a ClutterState inside the ClutterScript definition. We should
allow creating a (named) ClutterState in code, and associating it to a
ClutterScript instance — and have the Script resolve the "state" field
of a signal definition correctly.
One of the uses of a ClutterState state machine along with ClutterScript
is to provide a quick way to transition from state to state in response
to signal emitted on specific instances.
Connecting a real function, in code, to a specific signal does not
improve the ease of use of ClutterScript to define scenes.
By adding a new signal definition to the current one we can have both a
simple way to define application logic in code and in the UI definition
file.
The new syntax is trivial:
{
"name" : <signal name>,
"state" : <state machine script id>,
"target-state" : <target state>
}
The ClutterState instance is identified by its script id, and the target
state is resolved at run-time, so it can be defined both in
ClutterScript or in code. Ideally, we should find a way to associate a
default ClutterState instance to the ClutterScript one that parses the
definition; this way we would be able to remove the "state" member, or
even "style" the behaviour of an object by replacing the ClutterState
instance.
The implementation uses a signal emission hook, to avoid knowing the
signal signature; we check the emitter of the signal against the object
that defined the signal, to avoid erroneous state changes.
cairo.h is intended to be included as <cairo.h> not <cairo/cairo.h> as
is the style for clutter.h. If you have installed cairo to a custom
prefix then using cairo/cairo.h can result in unintentional use of the
system cairo headers, or if they aren't installed then it will result in
a failure to find the header.
GestureAction supports a single device/touch point. We'll need touch
events supported in Clutter before adding the ability to set required
device/touch points on gestures.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2585
The GestureAction is marked as abstract, but it has a constructor. It
should be possible to create simple gesture recognizers through signal
handling alone, so we might as well have GestureAction be a concrete
class from the start.

Previously ClutterText was just reporting the allocation as the paint
volume. The preferred size of a ClutterText is just the logical
rectangle of the layout. A pango layout can sometimes draw outside of
its logical rectangle for example with an italicised font with large
serifs. Additionally, ClutterText doesn't make any attempt to clip the
text if the actor gets allocated a size too small for the text so it
would also end up drawing outside of the paint volume in that case. To
fix this, the paint volume is now reported as the ink rect of the
Pango layout. The rectangle for the cursor and selection is also
unioned into that because it won't necessarily be within the ink
rectangle.
The function for drawing the selection rectangles has been split up
into a generic function that calculates the rectangles that need to be
drawn and a function that draws them. That way the get_paint_volume
virtual can share the code to calculate the rectangles.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2599
When the cursor is at the leftmost position in the text the drawn
pixel position is moved to the left by the size of the cursor. There's
no explanation for why this happens and it doesn't seem to make any
sense so this patch removes it. It makes multi-line texts looks odd
because the cursor ends up at a different horizontal position when it
is on the first line from any other line. It also makes using
priv->cursor_pos difficult in any other part of the code because the
paint function modifies it.
The original patch that added this can be traced back to Tidy commit
c356487c15. There's no explanation in the commit message either.

A long press is a special form of click action; the default
implementation uses a single signal with multiple states: query, action
and cancel. On click we use the "query" state to check whether the
ClutterClickAction supports long presses; if the callback returns TRUE
then we install a timeout and we either emit the "activate" state when
the timeout expires or we emit the "cancel" state if the pointer leaves
the actor, or if the pointer moves outside a certain threshold. If the
long press reached the "activate" state then we skip the clicked signal
emission.
A property to control the minimum time that has to elapse before a press
is recognized as a long press. This will be used by ClutterClickAction,
but it can be shared across touch-based gestures.
The G_CONST_RETURN define in GLib is, and has always been, a bit fuzzy.
We always used it to conform to the platform, at least for public-facing
API.
At first I assumed it has something to do with brain-damaged compilers
or with weird platforms where const was not really supported; sadly,
it's something much, much worse: it's a define that can be toggled at
compile-time to remove const from the signature of public API. This is a
truly terrifying feature that I assume was added in the past century,
and whose inception clearly had something to do with massive doses of
absynthe and opium — because any other explanation would make the
existence of such a feature even worse than assuming drugs had anything
to do with it.
Anyway, and pleasing the gods, this dubious feature is being
removed/deprecated in GLib; see bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644611
Before deprecation, though, we should just remove its usage from the
whole API. We should especially remove its usage from Cally's internals,
since there it never made sense in the first place.
If an actor or the stage to which it belongs are being destroyed then
there is no point in queueing a redraw that will not be seen anyway.
Bailing out early also avoids the case in which a redraw is queued
during destruction wil cause redraw entries will be added to the Stage,
which will take references on it and cause the Stage never to be
finalized.

With the instantiatable ClutterShaderEffect, the only reason for
ClutterShader to exist is to make the ClutterActor::paint implementation
miserable.
Yes, ClutterShader doesn't use a FBO, so it's "more efficient" on
ClutterTextures. It's also generally wrong unless you know *exactly* how
the actor's pipeline is set up — something we cannot even guarantee
internally unless we start doing lame type checks.
ClutterShaderEffect doesn't require to be sub-classed in order to be
useful. It is possible to just create an instance, set the source and
the uniforms, and attach it to an actor. This should effectively replace
ClutterShader for good.
We were mistakenly using the constant 4 to determine the number of
vertices that need to be culled for a paint-volume to be considered
fully culled too. This is only ok for 2d volumes and was resulting in
some 3d volumes being considered culled whenever 4 out of 8 vertices
were culled. This fix is simply to reference the vertex_count variable
instead of assuming 4.
_clutter_stage_do_pick called by interactive picking and
clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos could be accidentally reading back the wrong
actor id's if an other stage has had a more recent render due to animation.
This should resolve some multi stage / ClutterGtk related pick id warnings.
Commit 13ac1fe7 purported to extend the _clutter_id_pool_lookup()
warning to the case where the id referred to a deleted actor, but did
not actually do so, because _clutter_id_pool_remove() set deleted IDs
to 0xdecafbad, not NULL. Fix this.

Those were added on the old "just for automatic testing" times. That was
somewhat silly on that moment. Now is just silly (ie: having the stage
returning as default name "Stage").
The real description should be set by the app, or provided by the
context of a specific actor feature (like the tooltip on StWidget).
The current information provided by the default description can be
mostly obtained from the ATK_ROLE, and the indirect debugging
advantage of having always a meaningful description is just not enough
to justify them, and you can solve that by proper debug logging.

In Cogl, cogl-pango.h has moved to <cogl-pango/cogl-pango.h>. When
using the experimental 2.0 API (which Clutter does) it is no longer
possible to include it under the old name of <cogl/cogl-pango.h> so we
need to update the include location.
In _clutter_actor_queue_redraw_with_clip, there was the possibility that
the actor will add itself to the stage's redraw queue without keeping track
of the allocated list member.
In clutter_actor_unparent, the redraw queue entry was being invalidated
before the mapped notify signal was being fired, meaning that queueing a
redraw of an unmapped actor in the mapped notification callback could
cause a crash.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2621
Since ClutterText has overlapping primitives when selecting, or a
visible cursor, then we need to report that to Clutter, to avoid
bleeding colors through when a Text actor is non-fully opaque.
_clutter_stage_queue_actor_redraw returns a pointer to the
ClutterStageQueueRedrawEntry struct which it allocates. The actor is
expected to store a pointer to this so that it doesn't need to search
the list of queued redraws next time a queue redraw is called. However
_clutter_actor_queue_redraw_full wasn't storing this pointer which
meant that it thought every queue redraw was the first queue
redraw. That meant that queueing a redraw with a clip or an effect
would override any previous attempts to queue a redraw instead of
trying to combine them.
I think this happened because the old queue_redraw_with_clip also
didn't store the pointer and queue_redraw_full was based on that.
This adds a virtual to ClutterActor so that an actor subclass can
report whether it has overlapping primitives. ClutterActor uses this
to determine whether it needs to use ClutterFlattenEffect to implement
the opacity property. The default implementation of the virtual
returns TRUE which means that most actors will end up being redirected
offscreen when the opacity != 255. ClutterTexture and ClutterRectangle
override this to return FALSE because they should never need to be
redirected. ClutterClone overrides it to divert to the source.
The values for the ClutterOffscreenRedirect enum have changed to:
AUTOMATIC_FOR_OPACITY
The actor will only be redirected if has_overlaps returns TRUE and
the opacity is < 255
ALWAYS_FOR_OPACITY
The actor will always be redirected if the opacity < 255 regardless
of the return value of has_overlaps
ALWAYS
The actor will always be redirected offscreen.
This means that the property can't be used to prevent the actor from
being redirected but only to increase the likelihood that it will be
redirected.
ClutterActor now adds and removes the flatten effect depending on
whether flattening is needed directly in clutter_actor_paint(). There
are new internal versions of add/remove_effect that don't queue a
redraw. This means that ClutterFlattenEffect is now just a no-op
subclass of ClutterOffscreen. It is only needed because
ClutterOffscreen is abstract. Removing the effect also makes it so
that the cached image will be freed as soon as an actor is repainted
without being flattened.
This adds a property which can be used to redirect the actor through
an FBO before painting so that it becomes flattened in an image. The
image can be used as a cache to avoid having to repaint the actor if
something unrelated in the scene changes. It can also be used to
implement correct opacity even if the actor has overlapping
primitives. The property is an enum that takes three values:
CLUTTER_OFFSCREEN_REDIRECT_NEVER: The default behaviour which is to
never flatten the actor.
CLUTTER_OFFSCREEN_REDIRECT_ALWAYS: The actor is always redirected
through an FBO.
CLUTTER_OFFSCREEN_REDIRECT_ONLY_FOR_OPACITY: The actor is only
redirected through an FBO if the paint opacity is not 255. This
value would be used if the actor wants correct opacity. It will
avoid the overhead of using an FBO whenever the actor is fully
opaque.
The property is implemented by installing a ClutterFlattenEffect.
ClutterFlattenEffect is a new internal class which subclasses
ClutterOffscreen to redirect the painting to an FBO. When
ClutterOffscreen paints, the effect sets an opacity override on the
actor so that the image will always contain the actor at full
opacity. The opacity is then applied to the resulting image before
painting it to the stage. This means the actor does not need to be
redrawn while the opacity is being animated.
The effect has a high internal priority so that it will always occur
before any other effects and it gets hidden from the application.
When calling clutter_actor_clear_constraints the layout of the actor
may change so we need to queue a relayout. Similarly when the effects
are cleared we need to queue a redraw.
This adds a priority property to all ClutterActorMetas. The
ClutterMetaGroup keeps the list sorted so that higher priority metas
remain at the beginning of the list. The priority is a signed integer
with the default as zero. An actor meta can therefore be put before
all default metas with a positive number, or after with a negative
number.
There are constants to set an 'internal' priority. The intention is
that applications wouldn't be allowed to use these values so that we
can keep special internal metas to that are before or after all
application metas.
The property isn't a real GObject property because for now it is
completely internal and only used to implement the 'transparency'
property of ClutterActor. ClutterMetaGroup doesn't currently resort
the list if the property changes so if we wanted to make it public we
should either make it construct-only or make the meta group listen for
changes on the property and resort accordingly.
The methods in ClutterActor that get the list of metas now use a new
function that filters out internal metas from the meta
group. Similarly for clearing the metas, the internal metas are left
in.
This adds a new public function to queue a rerun of an effect. If
nothing else queues a redraw then when the effect's actor is painted
the effect will be run without the CLUTTER_EFFECT_RUN_ACTOR_DIRTY
flag. This allows parametrised offscreen effects to report that they
need to redraw the image without having to redraw the underlying
actor. This will be used to implement the 'transparency' effect of
ClutterActor.
If multiple redraws are queued with different effects then redrawing
is started from the one that occurs last in the list of effects.
Internally the function is a wrapper around the new function
_clutter_actor_queue_redraw_full. This is intended to be the sole
point of code for queuing redraws on an actor. It has parameters for
the clip and the effect. The other two existing functions to queue a
redraw (one with a clip and one without) now wrap around this function
by passing a NULL effect.
When painting an actor, it now tries to determine if the last paint of
the offscreen was using the same matrix and the actor isn't dirty. If
so, it can skip calling clutter_actor_continue_paint and avoid
actually painting the actor. Instead just the offscreen image will be
painted.
This adds a new virtual to ClutterEffect which is intended to be a
more flexible replacement for the pre and post_paint functions. The
implementation of a run virtual would look something like this:
void
effect_run (ClutterEffect *effect,
ClutterEffectRunFlags flags)
{
/* Set up state */
/* ... */
/* Chain to the next item in the paint sequence */
clutter_actor_continue_paint (priv->actor);
/* Clean up state */
/* ... */
}
ClutterActor now just calls this virtual instead of the pre_paint and
post_paint functions. It keeps track of the next effect in the list so
that it knows what to do when clutter_actor_continue_paint is
called. clutter_actor_continue_paint is a new function added just for
implementing effects.
The default implementation of the run virtual just calls pre_paint and
post_paint so that existing effects will continue to work.
An effect is allowed to conditionally skip calling
clutter_actor_continue_paint(). This is useful to implement effects
that cache the image of an actor. The flags parameter can be used to
determine if the actor is dirty since the last paint. ClutterActor
sets this flag whenever propagated_one_redraw is TRUE which means that
a redraw for this actor or one of its children was queued.
The id pool used for the actor's id should be a per-stage field. At some
point, we might have a Stage mapped to multiple framebuffers, or each
Stage mapped to a different framebuffer; also, on backend with low
color precision we don't want to exhaust the size of the available ids
with a global pool. Finally, it's yet another thing we can remove from
the global Clutter context.
Having the id pool allocated per-stage, and the pick id assigned on
Actor:mapped will make the whole pick-id more reliable and future proof.
