Building the API reference for Cogl 2.0 is fairly confusing: the API
itself is experimental and for internal use only -- though we want
feedback for it.
Let's build the API reference only when Clutter is configured with a
specific configure switch, so that people that wish to give feedback on
the API and its documentation can do it.
* elliot/cookbook-animations-looping:
cookbook: Recipe for "looping animations"
cookbook: Clarify how signals are emitted during looped animation
cookbook: First draft for looping animations recipe
cookbook: Recipe skeleton for "looping animations"
cookbook: Looping animation examples
Added a recipe giving examples of how to loop
animations for each part of the animation API (implicit,
animator, state).
The discussion covers looping a fixed number of times
and inverting a single implicit animation to create
a loop which goes back to its start on each iteration.
So we can keep track of the experimental progress of Cogl 2.0 features
this adds a standalone Cogl 2.0 Reference Manual which doesn't cover
the deprecated 1.x symbols and removes the need for a "Cogl
experimental API" chapter since those sections now make up the main
table of contents.
Since EGA colors are apparently all the rage in other toolkits, Clutter
should not be left out. On top of the usual CGA/EGA palette the static
colors also include the Tango Icon palette, which at least is more
pleasant to the eye.
Static colors are accessed through an enumeration by using
clutter_color_get_static(), or using the short-hand pre-processor
macros.

This exposes the idea of a stack of source materials instead of just
having a single current material. This allows the writing of orthogonal
code that can change the current source material and restore it to its
previous state. It also allows the implementation of new composite
primitives that may want to validate the current source material and
possibly make override changes in a derived material.
* wip/path-constraint:
docs: Add PathConstraint
tests: Add a PathConstraint interactive test
Add ClutterPathConstraint
actor-box: Add setters for origin and size
This function handles a single windows message. The idea is that it
could be used by clutter-gtk to forward on events from a
GdkEventFilter. The function replaces the old message_translate()
function. That function didn't translate the event anymore anyway and
instead it could generate multiple events so
clutter_win32_handle_event seems like a more appropriate name. The
function returns TRUE or FALSE depending on whether the event was
completely handled instead of setting call_window_proc.
The interpolate() method does what it says on the tin: it interpolates
between two colors using the given factor.
ClutterColor uses it to register a progress function for Intervals.
Recipe covers adding handlers for button-press-event and
button-release-event signals on actors, and how to
examine the content of a ClutterButtonEvent via API functions.
The discussion section explains about click count
(the criteria for how clicks get counted, including
distance and time settings); how button numbers are reported;
and how to use ClutterClickAction as an alternative
for press + release in certain scenarios.
The internal copy of JSON-GLib was meant to go away right after the 1.0
release, given that JSON-GLib was still young and relatively unknown.
Nowadays, many projects started depending on this little library, and
distributions ship it and keep it up to date.
Keeping a copy of JSON-GLib means keeping it up to date; unfortunately,
this would also imply updating the code not just for the API but for the
internal implementations.
Starting with the 1.2 release, Clutter preferably dependend on the
system copy; with the 1.4 release we stopped falling back automatically.
The 1.6 cycle finally removes the internal copy and requires a copy of
JSON-GLib installed on the target system in order to compile Clutter.
This recipe explains how to use the three animation
approaches (implicit, State, Animator) to animate movement
of actors.
Includes some guidelines about which approach to use when, with
a full code example for each approach.
The discussion section covers some subtleties around animated
movement; namely: moving actors out of their containers; anchor
points and movement; moving in the depth axis; interactions
between animated movement and constraints.
Added an example showing how to move two actors between
two states (one minimised, one maximised) using ClutterState
to do the movement. Also shows how movement can be mixed
with other animation (in this case, scaling).
This adds a "Cogl deprecated API" chapter to the Cogl reference manual
so we can group all the documentation for deprecated symbols together
instead of having them clutter up the documentation of symbols we would
rather developers used.
