ClutterAnimation currently inherits the initial floating reference
semantics from GInitiallyUnowned. An Animation is, though, meant to
be used as a top-level object, like a Timeline or a Behaviour, and
not "owned" by another object. For this reason, the initial floating
reference does not make any sense.
With the recent change to internal floating point values, ClutterUnit
has become a redundant type, defined to be a float. All integer entry
points are being internally converted to floating point values to be
passed to the GL pipeline with the least amount of conversion.
ClutterUnit is thus exposed as just a "pixel with fractionary bits",
and not -- as users might think -- as generic, resolution and device
independent units. not that it was the case, but a definitive amount
of people was convinced it did provide this "feature", and was flummoxed
about the mere existence of this type.
So, having ClutterUnit exposed in the public API doubles the entry
points and has the following disadvantages:
- we have to maintain twice the amount of entry points in ClutterActor
- we still do an integer-to-float implicit conversion
- we introduce a weird impedance between pixels and "pixels with
fractionary bits"
- language bindings will have to choose what to bind, and resort
to manually overriding the API
+ *except* for language bindings based on GObject-Introspection, as
they cannot do manual overrides, thus will replicate the entire
set of entry points
For these reason, we should coalesces every Actor entry point for
pixels and for ClutterUnit into a single entry point taking a float,
like:
void clutter_actor_set_x (ClutterActor *self,
gfloat x);
void clutter_actor_get_size (ClutterActor *self,
gfloat *width,
gfloat *height);
gfloat clutter_actor_get_height (ClutterActor *self);
etc.
The issues I have identified are:
- we'll have a two cases of compiler warnings:
- printf() format of the return values from %d to %f
- clutter_actor_get_size() taking floats instead of unsigned ints
- we'll have a problem with varargs when passing an integer instead
of a floating point value, except on 64bit platforms where the
size of a float is the same as the size of an int
To be clear: the *intent* of the API should not change -- we still use
pixels everywhere -- but:
- we remove ambiguity in the API with regard to pixels and units
- we remove entry points we get to maintain for the whole 1.0
version of the API
- we make things simpler to bind for both manual language bindings
and automatic (gobject-introspection based) ones
- we have the simplest API possible while still exposing the
capabilities of the underlying GL implementation
When calling clutter_model_iter_next () / clutter_model_iter_prev () we need
to update the row for the iterator. In order to improve the peformance of
iterating this change adds a private row mutator and switches ClutterListModel
to use it.
In order to carry out various comparisons for e.g. identifying the first
iterator in the model we need a ClutterModelIter. This change switches from
creating a new iterator each time to reusing an existing iterator.
If the input region has been shaped, then clutter needs to
receive EnterNotify/LeaveNotify events in order to properly
send enter and leave events to actors when the pointer crosses
the boundary of the stage.

The flags field of ClutterActor should have accessor methods for,
language bindings.
Also, the set_flags() and unset_flags() methods should actively
emit notifications for the changed properties.
Also, use MetaWindows as the tab_popup keys rather than using (X) Windows
and then having to map back and forth everywhere, which is silly since
we never actually want the X Window.

Rather than trying to reverse-engineer what kind of tab/workspace
popup to create from within meta_display_begin_grab_op(), just create
the popup directly from do_choose_window()/handle_workspace_switch()
after completing the grab, since they already know which kind they
want.
Also add meta_screen_destroy_tab_popup()/_destroy_workspace_popup()
rather than having meta_display_end_grab_op() poke into MetaScreen's
internals itself.

This is simply a wrapper around cogl_color_set_from_4f and
cogl_material_set_color. We already had a prototype for this, it was
an oversight that it wasn't already implemented.

There were several functions I believe no one is currently using that were
only implemented in the GL backend (cogl_offscreen_blit_region and
cogl_offscreen_blit) that have simply been removed so we have a chance to
think about design later with a real use case.
There was one nonsense function (cogl_offscreen_new_multisample) that
sounded exciting but in all cases it just returned COGL_INVALID_HANDLE
(though at least for GL it checked for multisampling support first!?)
it has also been removed.
The MASK draw buffer type has been removed. If we want to expose color
masking later then I think it at least would be nicer to have the mask be a
property that can be set on any draw buffer.
The cogl_draw_buffer and cogl_{push,pop}_draw_buffer function prototypes
have been moved up into cogl.h since they are for managing global Cogl state
and not for modifying or creating the actual offscreen buffers.
This also documents the API so for example desiphering the semantics of
cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture() should be a bit easier now.

These are necessary if nesting redirections to an fbo,
otherwise there's no way to know how to restore
previous state.
glPushAttrib(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT) would save draw buffer
state, but also saves a lot of other stuff, and
cogl_draw_buffer() relies on knowing about all draw
buffer state changes. So we have to implement a
draw buffer stack ourselves.

It is valid in some situations to have a material layer with an invalid texture
handle (e.g. if you setup a texture combine mode before setting the texture)
and so _cogl_material_layer_free needs to check for a valid handle before
attempting to unref it.

Redundant clearing of depth and stencil buffers every render can be very
expensive, so cogl now gives control over which auxiliary buffers are
cleared.
Note: For now clutter continues to clear the color, depth and stencil buffer
each paint.

The clutter frame source tries to average out the frame deltas so that
if one frame takes 1 interval plus a little bit of extra time then the
next frame will be 1 interval minus that little bit of extra
time. Therefore the deltas can sometimes be less than the frame
interval. ClutterTimeline should accumulate these small differences
otherwise it will end up missing out frames so the total duration of
the timeline will be a lot longer.
For example this was causing test-actors to appear to run very slow.
The units in the Timeline test suite just rely on the timeline
being a timeout automatically advanced by the main loop. This
is not the case anymore, since the merge of the master-clock.
To make the test units work again we need to "emulate" the master
clock without effectively having a stage to redraw; we do this
by creating a frame source and manually advancing the timelines
we create for test purposes, using the advance_msecs() "protected"
method.
The method of ClutterTimeline that advances the timeline by a
delta (in millisecond) is going to be useful for testing the
timeline's behaviour -- and unbreak the timeline test suite that
was broken by the MasterClock merge.
With the change in commit 87e4e2 painting of hidden source actors
in ClutterClone was fixed. This commit changes the test-actor-clone
to visually verify this.
With the introduction of the map/unmap flags and the split of the
visible state from the mapped state we require that every part of
a scene graph branch is mapped in order to be painted. This breaks
the ability of a ClutterClone to paint an hidden source actor.
In order to fix this we need to introduce an override flag, similar
in spirit to the current modelview and paint opacity overrides that
Clone is already using.
The override flag, when set, will force a temporary map on a
Clone source (and its children).
ClutterContainer provides a foreach_with_internals() vfunc for
iterating over all of a container's children, be them added using
the Container API or be them internal to the container itself.
We should be using the foreach_with_internals() function instead
of the plain foreach().
When replacing the fbo_handle with a new handle it first unrefs the
old handle. This was previously a call to cogl_offscreen_unref which
silently ignored attempts to unref COGL_INVALID_HANDLE. However the
new cogl_handle_unref does check for this so we should make sure the
handle is valid to avoid the warning.
Bug 1565 - test-fbo case failed in many platform
clutter_texture_new_from_actor was broken because it created the FBO
texture but then never attached it to the material so it was never
used for rendering. The old behaviour in Clutter 0.8 was to assign the
texture directly to priv->tex. In 0.9 priv->tex is replaced with
priv->material which has a reference to the tex in layer 0. So putting
the FBO texture directly in layer 0 more closely matches the original
behaviour.
When rendering a pango layout CoglPangoRenderer now records the
operations into a list called a CoglPangoDisplayList. The entries in
the list are either glyph renderings from a texture, rectangles or
trapezoids. Multiple consecutive glyph renderings from the same glyph
cache texture are combined into a single entry. Note the
CoglPangoDisplayList has nothing to do with a GL display list.
After the display list is built it is attached to the PangoLayout with
g_object_set_qdata so that next time the layout is rendered it can
bypass rebuilding it.
The glyph rendering entries are drawn via a VBO. The VBO is attached
to the display list so it can be used multiple times. This makes the
common case of rendering a PangoLayout contained in a single texture
subsequent times usually boil down to a single call to glDrawArrays
with an already uploaded VBO.
The VBOs are accessed via the cogl_vertex_buffer API so if VBOs are
not available in GL it will resort to a fallback.
Note this will fall apart if the pango layout is altered after the
first render. I can't find a way to detect when the layout is
altered. However this won't affect ClutterText because it creates a
new PangoLayout whenever any properties are changed.
Currently ClutterModel::get_iter_at_row() ignores whether we have
a filter in place. This also extends to the get_n_rows() method.
The more consistent, more intuitive and surely more correct way to
handle a Model with a filter in place is to take into account the
presence of the filter itself -- that is:
- get_n_rows() should take into account the filter and return the
number of *filtered* rows
- get_iter_at_row() should also take the filter into account and
get the first non-filtered row
These two changes make the ClutterModel with a filter function
behave like a subset of the original Model without a filter in
place.
For instance, given a model with three rows:
- [row 0] <does not match filter>
- [row 1] <matches filter>
- [row 2] <matches filter>
- [row 3] <does not match filter>
The get_n_rows() method will return "2", since only two rows will
match the filter; the get_first_iter() method will ask for the
zero-eth row, which will return an iterator pointing to the contents
of row 1 (but the :row property of the iterator will be set to 0);
the get_last_iter() method will ask for the last row, which will
return an iterator pointing to the contents of row 2 (but the :row
property of the iterator will be set to 1).
This changes will hopefully make the Model API more consistent
in its usage whether there is a filter in place or not.
Currently, there is no way for implementations of the ClutterModel
abstract class to know whether there is a filter in place. Since
subclasses might implement some optimization in case there is no
filter present, we need a simple (and public) API to ask the model
itself.
