Actually this change has two notable effects; firstly we no longer
perform culling during picking and secondly we avoid updating the
last-paint-volume of an actor when picking.
We shouldn't perform culling during picking until clutter-stage.c is
updated to setup the clipping planes appropriately.
Since the last-paint-volume is intended to represent the visible region
of the actor the last time it was painted on screen it doesn't make
sense to update this during off screen pick renders since we are liable
to end up with a last-paint-volume that maps to an actors new position
when we next come to paint for real.

The Animatable interface allows object classes to provide and animate
properties outside of the usual GObject property introspection API.
This change allows ClutterState to defer to the animatable objects the
property introspection and animation, just like ClutterAnimation does.
The animate_property() method of the Animatable interface is far less
than optimal:
• it has a direct reference to ClutterAnimation;
• it has an interval decomposed as two values.
These issues tie the Animatable interface with the Animation object,
even though it's neither necessary nor future-proof.
Let's introduce a new method, interpolate_value(), which does not
reference ClutterAnimation and uses a ClutterInterval to express the
initial and final states.
All ClutterModelIter virtual functions have a default implementation,
and G_TYPE_INSTANCE_GET_CLASS cannot return NULL unless in case of a
catastrophic event in the type system - which will most likely blow up
any application code way before you could call a ModelIter method.
Thus, the idiom:
klass = CLUTTER_MODEL_ITER_GET_CLASS (instance);
if (klass && klass->vfunc)
klass->vfunc (instance);
is utterly useless complication, and it can be perfectly replaced by:
CLUTTER_MODEL_ITER_GET_CLASS (instance)->vfunc (instance);
without any loss of safety.
Currently, only clutter_model_iter_set_valist() is in charge of emitting
the ClutterModel::row-changed signal. Both the set() and the
set_valist() functions can be called with multiple columns, so we
coalesce the signal emission at the end of the set_valist(), to have a
single ::row-changed emission per change.
The clutter_model_iter_set_value() function is just a thin wrapper
around the set_value() virtual function, but since it's called
internally we cannot add the signal emission there as well, as we'd
break the signal coalescing.
For this reason, we need some code refactoring inside the various set()
variants of ClutterModelIter:
- we only use the internal va_arg variant for both the set() and
set_valist() public functions, to avoid multiple type checks;
- the internal set_valist() calls an internal set_value() method
which calls the virtual function from the iterator vtable;
- a new internal emit_row_changed() method is needed to retrieve
the ClutterModel from the iterator, and emit the signal;
Now, all three variants of the value setter will call an internal
ClutterModelIter::set_value() wrapper, and emit the ::row-changed
signal.
To check that the intended behaviour has been implemented, and it's not
going to be broken, the test suite has grown a new unit which populates
a model and changes a random row.
Cally was initially created with Clutter 0.6 in mind. To check
recursively the visibility of a actor a custom method was added.
Since 0.8.4 clutter_actor_get_pain_visibility provides
the same functionality.
Also removed a dummy method. Lets add methods that provide a real
functionality.
Keeping the backing Cairo surface of a CairoTexture canvas in sync with
the actor's allocation is tedious and prone to mistakes. We can
definitely do better by simply exposing a property that does the surface
resize and invalidation automagically on ::allocate.
The current "create context/draw/destroy context" pattern presents
various problems. The first issue is that it defers memory management to
the caller of the create() or create_region() methods, which makes
bookkeeping of the cairo_t* harder for language bindings and third party
libraries. The second issue is that, while it's easier for
draw-and-forget texturs, this API is needlessly complicated for contents
that have to change programmatically - and it introduces constraints
like calling the drawing code explicitly after a surface resize (e.g.
inside an allocate() implementation).
By using a signal-based approach we can make the CairoTexture actor
behave like other actors, and like other libraries using Cairo as their
2D drawing API.
The semantics of the newly-introduced ::draw signal are the same as the
one used by GTK+:
- the signal is emitted on invalidation;
- the cairo_t* context is owned by the actor;
- it is safe to have multiple callbacks attached to the same
signal, to allow composition;
- the cairo_t* is already clipped to the invalidated area, so
that Cairo can discard geometry immediately before we upload
the texture data.
There are possible future improvements, like coalescing multiple
invalidations inside regions, and performing clipped draws during
the paint cycle; we could even perform clipped redraws if we know the
extent of the invalidated area.
ClutterTexture relies too much on GError, even for things that are
clearly programmer errors. Also, no error message passed to GError
is marked for translation as it should.
We should move the programmer errors, like passing the wrong bpp
value with regards to the presence of the alpha channel, to real
warnings; we should also try and harmonize all the error messages,
and not mention Cogl — especially in the ones marked for translation.
This avoids explicitly including gl or egl headers in
clutter-egl-headers.h. We were getting build failures when building
clutter against a libcogl that has runtime support for GL and GLES
because cogl-defines.h was including gl.h and then clutter-egl-headers.h
was later including GLES2/gl.h with typedef conflicts. Clutter relies on
Cogl to abstract GL and GLES and the winsys APIs like EGL and GLX so
Clutter should just rely on cogl.h to include the appropriate egl.h in
clutter-egl-headers.h.

Clutter may be used together with GTK+, which indirectly may use
XInput2 too, so the cookie data must persist when both are handling
events.
What happens now in a nutshell is, Clutter is only guaranteed to allocate
the cookie itself after XNextEvent(), and only frees the cookie if its
XGetEventData() call allocated the cookie data.
The X[Get|Free]EventData() calls happen now in clutter-event-x11.c as
hypothetically different event translators could also handle other set
of X Generic Events, or other libraries handling events for that matter.
When picking we need to disable dithering to be sure that the hardware
will not modify the colors we use as actor identifiers. Clutter was
manually calling glEnable/Disable GL_DITHER to handle this, but that was
a layering violation since Cogl is intended to handle all interactions
with OpenGL. Since we are now striving for GL vs GLES to be a runtime
choice we need to remove this last direct usage of GL from Clutter so it
doesn't have to be linked with GL at build time.

This updates _clutter_paint_volume_get_stage_paint_box to try and
calculate more stable paint-box sizes for fixed sized paint-volumes by
not basing the size on the volume's sub-pixel position.
So the aim is that for a given rectangle defined with floating point
coordinates we want to determine a stable quantized size in pixels that
doesn't vary due to the original box's sub-pixel position.
The reason this is important is because effects will use this API to
determine the size of offscreen framebuffers and so for a fixed-size
object that may be animated across the screen we want to make sure that
the stage paint-box has an equally stable size so that effects aren't
made to continuously re-allocate a corresponding fbo.
The other thing we consider is that the calculation of this box is
subject to floating point precision issues that might be slightly
different to the precision issues involved with actually painting the
actor, which might result in painting slightly leaking outside the
user's calculated paint-volume. This patch now adds padding to consider
this too.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Before deprecation, though, we should just remove its usage from the
