A TableLayout is a layout manager that allocates its children in rows
and columns. Each child is assigned to a cell (or more if a cell span
is set).
The supported child properties are:
• x-expand and y-expand: if this cell with try to allocate the
available extra space for the table.
• x-fill and y-fill: if the child will get all the space available in
the cell.
• x-align and y-align: if the child does not fill the cell, then
where the child will be aligned inside the cell.
• row-span and col-span: number of cells the child will allocate for
itself.
Also, the TableLayout has row-spacing and col-spacing for specifying
the space in pixels between rows and between columns.
We also include a simple test of the layout manager, and the
documentation updates.
The TableLayout was implemented starting from MxTable and
ClutterBoxLayout.

Layout managers are using the same code to allocate a child while taking
into consideration:
• horizontal and vertical alignment
• horizontal and vertical fill
• the preferred minimum and natural size, depending
on the :request-mode property
• the text direction for the horizontal alignment
• an offset given by the fixed position properties
Given the amount of code involved, and the amount of details that can go
horribly wrong while copy and pasting such code in various classes - let
alone various projects - Clutter should provide an allocate() variant
that does the right thing in the right way. This way, we have a single
point of failure.
Added a new recipe for creating a non-rectangular
actor using ClutterPath (aka "shaped pick") and
the Cogl primitives API.
Also cleaned up XML alignment in the actors.xml
file.
It's a XSL FAQ to be able to chomp text nodes and we just have to copy
and paste a XSLT 1.0 solution from:
http://dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N8321.html#d11325e833
Let's then empower our cookbook customization layer to chomp text nodes,
children of programlisting.
The generated cookbook files (either HTML or PDF) do not only depend on
clutter-cookbok.xml but also on all the chapters that compose the
cookbook. Add this dependency to the Makefile rules to have make rebuild
the book when a chapter changes.
Since XML_FILES is now the list of source files, move recipe-template.xml
to EXTRA_DIST.
New recipe covering how to animate rotation of
an actor (in all axes).
Covers various factors affecting rotation animation
(like orientation of axes, parent rotation/orientation),
as well as trying to make rotations easier to visualise
(e.g. describing how rotation direction is affected by
those factors, how a rotation can be expected to look
when animated). Uses implicit animations for code examples.
Also refers to a full code example which uses ClutterState.
The simple key press example in the cookbook used a brittle
and incorrect switch statement to test modifier values. Instead,
use logical "&" of the state with the modifiers we're interested
in to check which keys were pressed.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2223
The cookbook should also include fully functional code examples. We can
even XInclude them into the docbook XML itself.
The examples should be built with the coobook, so that we can always
make sure they are up to date.

Explains how to make an actor transparent so that other actors
are visible through it.
Also explains a bit more generally about opacity and how
it's computed from the actor, container, and color; and how actor
visibility is affected by depth (fog) and depth order.
Amended Makefile to copy content of videos directory into
installation directories. Also copies videos and images
into the html/ directory during the build, so that the
built cookbook can be viewed locally (for testing without
having to install).
Added an XSLT template to transform Docbook <inlinemediaobject>
elements into HTML 5 <video> elements, with a fallback to
link to the video displayed for browsers without HTML 5 support.
Added note to "Contributing" appendix explaining how to put
video into a recipe.
Some apps or some use cases don't need to clear the stage on immediate
rendering GPUs. A media player playing a fullscreen video or a
tile-based game, for instance.
These apps are redrawing the whole screen, so we can avoid clearing the
color buffer when preparing to paint the stage, since there is no
blending with the stage color being performed.
We can add an private set of hints to ClutterStage, and expose accessors
for each potential hint; the first hint is the 'no-clear' one.
http://bugzilla.clutter-project.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2058
This adds a publicly exposed experimental API for a 3D texture
backend. There is a feature flag which can be checked for whether 3D
textures are supported. Although we require OpenGL 1.2 which has 3D
textures in core, GLES only provides them through an extension so the
feature can be used to detect that.
The textures can be created with one of two new API functions :-
cogl_texture_3d_new_with_size
and
cogl_texture_3d_new_from_data
There is also internally a new_from_bitmap function. new_from_data is
implemented in terms of this function.
The two constructors are effectively the only way to upload data to a
3D texture. It does not work to call glTexImage2D with the
GL_TEXTURE_3D target so the virtual for cogl_texture_set_region does
nothing. It would be possible to make cogl_texture_get_data do
something sensible like returning all of the images as a single long
image but this is not currently implemented and instead the virtual
just always fails. We may want to add API specific to the 3D texture
backend to get and set a sub region of the texture.
All of those three functions can throw a GError. This will happen if
the GPU does not support 3D textures or it does not support NPOTs and
an NPOT size is requested. It will also fail if the FBO extension is
not supported and the COGL_TEXTURE_NO_AUTO_MIPMAP flag is not
given. This could be avoided by copying the code for the
GL_GENERATE_MIPMAP TexParameter fallback, but in the interests of
keeping the code simple this is not yet done.
This adds a couple of functions to cogl-texture-driver for uploading
3D data and querying the 3D proxy
texture. prep_gl_for_pixels_upload_full now also takes sets the
GL_UNPACK_IMAGE_HEIGHT parameter so that 3D textures can have padding
between the images. Whenever 3D texture is uploading, both the height
of the images and the height of all of the data is specified (either
explicitly or implicilty from the CoglBitmap) so that the image height
can be deduced by dividing by the depth.
There are many places in the texture backend that need to do
conversion using the CoglBitmap code. Currently none of these
functions can throw an error but they do return a value to indicate
failure. In future it would make sense if new texture functions could
throw an error and in that case they would want to use a CoglBitmap
error if the failure was due to the conversion. This moves the
internal CoglBitmap error from the quartz backend to be public in
cogl-bitmap.h so that it can be used in this way.

Introduces basic concepts (timelines, alphas, frames)
common to different parts of the Clutter animation API.
Gives a high level overview of the three different
approaches to animation (implicit, ClutterAnimator,
ClutterState).
Added a new recipe (based on the skeleton in the
animations section of the cookbook) about inverting
an animation by reversing the direction of its timeline.
Uses clutter_actor_animate() as the basic approach,
but mentions ClutterState and ClutterAnimator as well.
This adds a new API call to enable point sprite coordinate generation
for a material layer:
void
cogl_material_set_layer_point_sprite_coords_enabled (CoglHandle material,
int layer_index,
gboolean enable);
There is also a corresponding get function.
Enabling point sprite coords simply sets the GL_COORD_REPLACE of the
GL_POINT_SPRITE glTexEnv when flusing the material. There is no
separate application control for glEnable(GL_POINT_SPRITE). Instead it
is left permanently enabled under the assumption that it has no affect
unless GL_COORD_REPLACE is enabled for a texture unit.

I had changed the build so CSS files get put into
the HTML build directory; but done it in such
a way that they were then being ignored during
install. Fixed this.
There was a note about constants for keys and
where they are defined in Clutter header files; but
the sentence about where key modifiers are defined
was outside the note. Logically, they belong
together.
In some cases, there were blocks of text which
were really asides/interrupts to the flow, but
which weren't explicitly marked as such. I fixed
them by turning them into <note> blocks.
Made usage of docbook elements consistent across
recipes; to ensure the conventions are kept by others,
added a section about how to write and style recipes.
Make Cally follow the single-include header file policy of Clutter and
Cogl; this means making cally.h the single include header, and requires
a new cally-main.h file for the functions defined by cally.h.
Also:
• clean up the licensing notice and remove the FSF address;
• document the object structures (instance and class);
• G_GNUC_CONST-ify the get_type() functions;
• reduce the padding for CallyActor sub-classes;
• reduce the amount of headers included.
The documentation for cogl_vertex_buffer_indices_get_for_quads was
using ugly ASCII art to draw the diagrams. These have now been
replaced with PNG figures.
CoglMaterialWrapMode was missing from the cogl-sections.txt file so it
wasn't getting displayed. There were also no documented return values
from the getters.
Create two HTML versions of the cookbook:

Use a modified version of the Poky Handbook CSS for the HTML version of
the Cookbook.
Promote Elliot as author.
Re-license from the GPLv2.0 to the CC BY-NC-SA 2.0.
Apparently, xsltproc recognizes a directory if it has a '/' at the end
of its path, and not by doing the sensible thing and stat()'ing the
argument for the --output option.
This adds two new API calls- cogl_path_set_fill_rule and
cogl_path_get_fill_rule. This allows modifying the fill rule of the
current path. In addition to the previous default fill rule of
'even-odd' it now supports the 'non-zero' rule. The fill rule is a
property of the path (not the Cogl context) so creating a new path or
preserving a path with cogl_path_get_handle affects the fill rule.
Attached patch contains a cookbook recipe about key press event
handling.
It covers both a simple approach (connecting a callback to a
key-press-event signal which manually analyses the key and
modifiers), and a more complicated one based on a binding pool.
There's also some discussion of the two approaches.

This adds a separate variable name "CLUTTER_SONAME_INFIX" to define the
infix for the clutter library that gets linked. Currently the WINSYS
corresponds to the directory we enter when building to compile the
window system and input support, but it is desirable to be able to
define multiple flavours that use the same WINSYS but should result in
different library names.
For example we are planning to combine the eglx and eglnative window
systems into one "egl" winsys but we will need to preserve the current
library names for the eglx and eglnative flavours.
cogl_ortho is one of those APIs whos style was, for better or worse,
copied from OpenGL and for some inexplicable reason the near and far
arguments are inconsistent with the left, right, top, bottom arguments
because they don't take z coordinates they take a "distance" which
should be negative for a plane behind the viewer.
This updates the documentation to explain this.

By default, ShaderEffect creates a fragment shader; in order to be able
to deprecate ClutterShader we need a way for ShaderEffect sub-classes to
create a vertex shader if needed - By using a write-only, constructor
only property.
ClutterShader has, internally, a ClutterShaderType enumeration that can
be used exactly for this. We just need to expose it and create a GObject
property for ClutterShaderEffect.
We only had getters for the red, green, blue and alpha channels of a
color. This meant that, if you wanted to change, say, the alpha
component of a color, one would need to query the red, green and blue
channels and use set_from_4ub() or set_from_4f().
Instead of this, just provide some setters for CoglColor, using the same
naming scheme than the existing getters.
For some operations on pre-multiplied colors (say, replace the alpha
value), you need to unpremultiply the color.
This patch provides the counterpart to cogl_color_premultiply().
• 3 general fixes (typos, copy/paste),
• ignore cogl-object-private.h,
• cogl_fixed_atani() was in reality cogl_fixed_atan(), fixed in commit
43564f05.
• Fix the cogl-vector section: sections must have a </SECTION> tag at
the end. Also the cogl-vector section was added in the middle of the
cogl-buffer one. Let's shiffle it out and add that </SECTION> tag.
This provides a mechanism for associating private data with any
CoglObject. We expect Clutter will use this to associate weak materials
with normal materials.
Various headers are build in builddirs (clutter-marshal.h, mkenums
headers and cogl-define.h) so we need to add the corresponding include
paths for gtk-doc to build its scanner.
ClutterInterval.compute_value() computes the new value given a progress
and copies it to a given GValue. Since most of the time we want to pass
that very same value to another function that copies it again, we should
have a compute_value() variant that stores that computed value inside
ClutterInterval and returns a pointer to it. This way we initialize the
result GValue just once and we never copy it, as long as the Interval
instance is valid.

The Clutter cookbook has a chapter for textures. It would be useful to
provide a recipe on simple uses of ClutterCairoTexture as part of that.
Some suggested content is attached.
The ClutterActor API should have modifier methods for adding, removing
and retrieving Actions and Constraints using the ClutterActorMeta:name
property - mostly, for convenience.
In 125bded81 some comments were introduced to ClutterTexture
complaining that it can have a Cogl texture before being
realized. Clutter always assumes that the single GL context is current
so there is no need to wait until the actor is realized before setting
a texture. This patch replaces the comments with clarification that
this should not be a problem.
The patch also changes the documentation about the realized state in
various places to clarify that it is acceptable to create any Cogl
resources before the actor is realized.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2075
Previously, Cogl's texture coordinate system was effectively always
GL_REPEAT so that if an application specifies coordinates outside the
range 0→1 it would get repeated copies of the texture. It would
however change the mode to GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE if all of the coordinates
are in the range 0→1 so that in the common case that the whole texture
is being drawn with linear filtering it will not blend in edge pixels
from the opposite sides.
This patch adds the option for applications to change the wrap mode
per layer. There are now three wrap modes: 'repeat', 'clamp-to-edge'
and 'automatic'. The automatic map mode is the default and it
implements the previous behaviour. The wrap mode can be changed for
the s and t coordinates independently. I've tried to make the
internals support setting the r coordinate but as we don't support 3D
textures yet I haven't exposed any public API for it.
The texture backends still have a set_wrap_mode virtual but this value
is intended to be transitory and it will be changed whenever the
material is flushed (although the backends are expected to cache it so
that it won't use too many GL calls). In my understanding this value
was always meant to be transitory and all primitives were meant to set
the value before drawing. However there were comments suggesting that
this is not the expected behaviour. In particular the vertex buffer
drawing code never set a wrap mode so it would end up with whatever
the texture was previously used for. These issues are now fixed
because the material will always set the wrap modes.
There is code to manually implement clamp-to-edge for textures that
can't be hardware repeated. However this doesn't fully work because it
relies on being able to draw the stretched parts using quads with the
same values for tx1 and tx2. The texture iteration code doesn't
support this so it breaks. This is a separate bug and it isn't
trivially solved.
When flushing a material there are now extra options to set wrap mode
overrides. The overrides are an array of values for each layer that
specifies an override for the s, t or r coordinates. The primitives
use this to implement the automatic wrap mode. cogl_polygon also uses
it to set GL_CLAMP_TO_BORDER mode for its trick to render sliced
textures. Although this code has been added it looks like the sliced
trick has been broken for a while and I haven't attempted to fix it
here.
I've added a constant to represent the maximum number of layers that a
material supports so that I can size the overrides array. I've set it
to 32 because as far as I can tell we have that limit imposed anyway
because the other flush options use a guint32 to store a flag about
each layer. The overrides array ends up adding 32 bytes to each flush
options struct which may be a concern.

This adds three new API calls:
CoglHandle cogl_path_get()
void cogl_path_set(CoglHandle path)
CoglHandle cogl_path_copy(CoglHandle path)
All of the fields relating to the path have been moved from the Cogl
context to a new CoglPath handle type. The cogl context now just
contains a CoglPath handle. All of the existing path commands
manipulate the data in the current path handle. cogl_path_new now just
creates a new path handle and unrefs the old one.
The path handle can be stored for later with cogl_path_get. The path
can then be copied with cogl_path_copy. Internally it implements
copy-on-write semantics with an extra optimisation that it will only
copy the data if the new path is modified, but not if the original
path is modified. It can do this because the only way to modify a path
is by appending to it so the copied path is able to store its own path
length and only render the nodes up to that length. For this to work
the copied path also needs to keep its own copies of the path extents
because the parent path may change these by adding nodes.
The clip stack now uses the cogl_path_copy mechanism to store paths in
the stack instead of directly copying the data. This should save some
memory and processing time.
Although cogl_multiply_matrix was consistent with OpenGL, after further
consideration it was agreed that cogl_transform is a better name. Given
that it's in the global cogl_ namespace cogl_transform seems more self
documenting.
Add clutter_actor_has_allocation(), a method meant to be used when
deciding whether to call clutter_actor_get_allocation_box() or any
of its wrappers.
The get_allocation_box() method will, in case the allocation is invalid,
perform a costly re-allocation cycle to ensure that the returned box
is valid. The has_allocation() method is meant to be used if we have an
actor calling get_allocation_box() from outside the place where the
allocation is always guaranteed to be valid.

The create_context() and ensure_context() sections should be more clear
on the role of the functions, and their eventual caveats, like being
called multiple times.
We should explain what a "key frame" is for ClutterAnimator, possibly
with some sort of visual cue.
This allows me to demonstrate my poor skills at using Inkscape, as well
as my overall bad taste for graphics design.
It is conceivable that Container implementations might add children
outside of the Container::add() implementation - e.g. for packing at
a specific index. Since the addition (and removal) might happen outside
the common path we need to expose all the API that is implicitly called
by ClutterContainer when adding and removing a child - namely the
ChildMeta creation and destruction.
Embedding toolkits most likely will disable the event handling, so all
the input device code will not be executed. Unfortunately, the newly
added synthetic event generation of ENTER and LEAVE event pairs depends
on having input devices.
In order to unbreak things without reintroducing the madness of the
previous code we should allow embedding toolkits to just update the
state of an InputDevice by using the data contained inside the
ClutterEvent. This strategy has two obvious reasons:
• the embedding toolkit is creating a ClutterEvent by translating
a toolkit-native event anyway
• this is exactly what ClutterStage does when processing events
We are, essentially, deferring input device handling to the embedding
toolkits, just like we're deferring event handling to them.
If your OpenGL driver supports GLX_INTEL_swap_event that means when
glXSwapBuffers is called it returns immediatly and an XEvent is sent when
the actual swap has finished.
Clutter can use the events that notify swap completion as a means to
throttle rendering in the master clock without blocking the CPU and so it
should help improve the performance of CPU bound applications.
Gtk-doc is reporting a lot of false positives in the unused text file,
mostly because of new private files that have been added to Cogl but not
to the gtk-doc ignore list for the Cogl API reference.
Once the false positives have been removed we have a couple of really
missing symbols that should be added to the cogl-sections.txt file.
The PixelFormat bit and mask #defines should not be used and are there
mostly for convenience, so we can push them to the "private" sub-section
of the API reference.
This pushed Cogl's API reference coverage to 100%.
