The direction of the text depends on the locale, and it is the
basic setting needed to enable internationalization of user
interfaces.
This commit allows setting the direction of the PangoContext instance
used by Clutter by using the CLUTTER_TEXT_DIRECTION environment
variable, or by passing the --clutter-text-direction command line
argument. Valid values are:
ltr - for left-to-right locales
rtl - for right-to-left locales
The default is LTR.
Ideally, this should be a value set by the localization teams on the
PO file, but this step requires some build system surgery to allow
the translation of the Clutter strings.
When calling clutter_backend_get_font_name(), if no default font
name has previously been set, we just set the default and return
a pointer to it - like we do for the font options.
Instead of storing the default font name and size as a pre-processor
macro, use the newly added ClutterBackend API to retrieve the current
default font from the backend.
The default backend stores some of the global defaults, like the
font options, text resolution, double click settings. It should also
store the default font name, to allow various text-based actors to
share the same settings.
When the font name changes, the ::font-changed signal is emitted,
to allow actors to pick up the change.
When the ClutterBackend notifies of changes in the resolution or
font options, update the PangoContext stored by Clutter's main
context. This allows changing the backend font-related settings at
runtime.
The PangoContext should be stored once, and inside the main
Clutter context. Each actor for which clutter_actor_get_pango_context()
has been called will hold a reference on the Pango context as well.
This makes it possible to update the text rendering for Clutter
by using only public API.
Rendering text inside an actor is pretty much impossible without
using internal API to create the various pieces like the PangoContext
and the font map.
Each actor should have the ability to create a PangoContext, which
is the only object needed to generate layouts and change the various
Pango settings.
This commit adds a clutter_actor_get_pango_context() function that
creates a PangoContext inside the ClutterActor private data and allows
the creation of PangoLayouts when needed. If the actor already
has a PangoContext, the same instance is returned.
The PangoContext is created only on demand.
The ClutterBackend instance at the moment lacks the ability to
notify runtime changes of the font options and the resolution.
For this reason, this commit adds a ::resolution-changed and a
::font-changed signals to the Backend class.
The ::resolution-changed signal is emitted when set_resolution()
is called with a different DPI; ::font-changed is emitted when the
cairo_font_options_t* changes from the default.
This commit doesn't actually include any direct changes to source; you
have to run ./fixed-to-float.sh. Note: the script will make a number of
commits itself to your git repository a various stages of the script.
You will need to reset these if you want to re-run the script.
* NB: Be carefull about how you reset your tree, if you are making changes
to the script and patches, so you don't loose your changes *
This aims to remove all use of fixed point within Clutter and Cogl. It aims to
not break the Clutter API, including maintaining the CLUTTER_FIXED macros,
(though they now handle floats not 16.16 fixed)
It maintains cogl-fixed.[ch] as a utility API that can be used by applications
(and potentially for focused internal optimisations), but all Cogl interfaces
now accept floats in place of CoglFixed.
Note: the choice to to use single precision floats, not doubles is very
intentional. GPUs are basically all single precision; only this year have high
end cards started adding double precision - aimed mostly at the GPGPU market.
This means if you pass doubles into any GL[ES] driver, you can expect those
numbers to be cast to a float. (Certainly this is true of Mesa wich casts
most things to floats internally) It can be a noteable performance issue to
cast from double->float frequently, and if we were to have an api defined in
terms of doubles, that would imply a *lot* of unneeded casting. One of the
noteable issues with fixed point was the amount of casting required, so I
don't want to overshoot the mark and require just as much casting still. Double
precision arithmatic is also slower, so it usually makes sense to minimize its
use if the extra precision isn't needed. In the same way that the fast/low
precision fixed API can be used sparingly for optimisations; if needs be in
certain situations we can promote to doubles internally for higher precision.
E.g.
quoting Brian Paul (talking about performance optimisations for GL programmers):
"Avoid double precision valued functions
Mesa does all internal floating point computations in single precision
floating point. API functions which take double precision floating point
values must convert them to single precision. This can be expensive in the
case of glVertex, glNormal, etc. "
This follows the convention of GtkLabel/GtkEntry in GTK+ and the old
ClutterEntry.
It makes it easier to use strlen/strcmp etc on the output, since we can
assume that it is always a string.
This commit also updates the test unit for ClutterText to verify that
the clutter_text_get_text() function also returns an empty string when
a ClutterText actor has been created.
The clutter-private.h header already includes cogl-pango.h with
the correct inclusion path, because the main context stores a
pointer to the font map.
There is no need for clutter-text.c to include cogl-pango.h
again since it already includes clutter-private.h.
Instead of returning CLUTTER_X11_FILTER_CONTINUE always from
clutter_x11_handle_event() return CLUTTER_X11_FILTER_REMOVE if
the event was on a stage and translated to a ClutterEvent.

The cairo pkg-config is crafted such that #include <cairo.h> should be used.
If building with a private build of cairo installed to a custom prefix
<cairo/cairo.h> can cause an un-intended cairo header to be picked up during
compilation due to /usr/include being in the header search path.
When building out of tree the generated scripts for the unit tests
need to explicitly reference the original src dir to be able to find
test-launcher.sh, like this:
$(top_srcdir)/tests/conform/test-launcher.sh
Also test-launcher.sh now passes -m slow --verbose to gtester. Without
-m slow then the wrappers dont work for some of the timeline tests.
Our beloved math.h exports, from bits/mathcalls.h, a bare "y1" symbol.
Apparently, it's unthinkable for code including <math.h> to also declare
arguments or variable named "y0", "y1" and "yn".
Anyway, the quick fix already used elsewhere in Clutter's codebase is
to rename the colliding variables "y_0", "y_1" and "y_n" - and
obviously everything similar to them as well, using the same pattern.
The name of the parameter in the header and the one in the gtk-doc
annotation on top of a function must match.
Unfortunately, there is an index() function declared inside strings.h
which makes gcc complain for the "index" argument as soon as we
enable the extra compiler flags we use when distchecking.
Hence, we need to rename "index" to "index_" in the header and in
the source files.

It is possible to change the surface size after construction with
clutter_cairo_texture_set_surface_size so it doesn't seem right to
restrict changing the properties.
clutter_cairo_texture_resize_surface_internal is called in a handler
for the notify signal. It is called there rather than directly in the
set_property handler so that changing both properties in a single
g_object_set will only cause one resize. The constructed override is
no longer needed.
resize_surface_internal will now bail out if the size of the surface
is already the right size.
Like we did for ClutterActor in commit cdb78ec4, fix ClutterTexture
usage of CoglFixed and ClutterUnit values without conversion between
the two types.
Clutter units are, at the moment, implemented as a value in fixed point
notation using the same format as CoglFixed. This is, though, an
implementation detail. For this reason, units should not be treated as
CoglFixed values and should be converted to and from fixed point using
the provided macros.
This commit updates the usage of units and fixed point values in
ClutterActor and rationalises some of the transformation code that
heavily relied on the equivalency between them.
Some drivers (e.g. Nvidia) get upset if you try to create multiple glx pixmaps
for the same server side pixmap object, even though you might have unique
client side names, we now avoid hitting this problem by destroying the current
glx pixmap early within clutter_glx_texture_pixmap_create_glx_pixmap.
A label is now displayed under the rectangle showing the current
gravity. The text for the gravity is taken from the GEnumClass. This
makes it easier to verify that the test is working correctly.
The calculation for cubic bezier curves had an extra multiplication by
3 which was causing the curve to go over 1.0 very quickly. This had
the affect of making test-animation appear to complete much before the
completed signal is emitted.
The patch makes it cast to double before subtracting the original
value from the target value. Otherwise if the target value is less
than the original value then the subtraction will overflow and the
factor will be multiplied by a very large number instead of the
desired interval.
The problem is demonstrable using the border-width property of
ClutterRectangle.
The current CairoTexture can be created with a surface size of 0
by 0 pixels, but a warning will be printed.
Worse, the surface can be resized to be 0 by 0 pixels without a
warning. The :surface-width and :surface-height properties accept
a minimum value of 0, and not check is performed on either the
constructor or set_surface_size() parameters to enforce the "greater
than zero" rule.
The correct and consistent behaviour is to allow a 0 by 0 pixels
surface size everywhere; inside surface_resize_internal(), the
current surface will be destroyed and if either :surface-width or
:surface-height are set to 0, the resizing terminates.
Attempting to create a Cairo context from a CairoTexture with
either :surface-width or :surface-height set to 0 will result in
a warning.
This allows:
- creating a CairoTexture with :surface-width or :surface-height
set to zero and delaying the surface resize at a later point;
- resizing the surface to 0 by 0 pixels to destroy the image
surface used internally;
- increase the consistency in the usage of CairoTexture.
Currently, the conformance test suite creates symbolic links pointing
to a wrapper script that just parses the name used to invoke it and
calls the gtester with the correct path.
Unfortunately, this presents two issues:
- it does not really work on file systems that do not
support symbolic links
- it leaves behind the symbolic links, which cannot
be automatically cleaning by 'make clean'
Both can be solved by creating a small script that invokes the wrapper
one with the test unit path.
The Makefile will use test-conform to extract the unit test paths
and generate a list that will be iterated over to create the
executable name (using the "test-name" convention also used by the
interactive tests, instead of "test_name"); the executable is then
just a simple shell script that invokes the wrapper script passing
the unit test path on the command line. The wrapper script will
use the first argument to work correctly, so it could be simply
executed like:
./test-wrapper.sh /path/to/unit_test
Which is another improvement over the current implementation, where
the wrapper script does not work when invoked directly.
After fixing the cursor position issues around the initial
glyph of the layout, the selection position needs fixing as
well.
The fix is similar: check if the position of the selection
is 0 and provide a fast path by setting the offset to 0.
The gdouble value represents an interval along the path from 0.0 to
1.0. This makes more sense than using an alpha value because paths are
not directly related to ClutterAlphas and the rest of the Clutter API
tends to expose gdouble arguments.
The GTest report output allows the developer to know where exactly
a test unit failure happened. The test-text-cache unit makes it
very hard to pinpoint the exact failure location because it relies
on the output to be printed out - which is not the case when the
tests are run as part of a make check.
This commit makes each sub-test inside the unit fail exactly where
the check function fails, which makes it easier to know which sub-test
did actually fail.
The clutter_text_set_selection() function is a convenience
method for setting the cursor position and the selection
boundary to a given position in a single call, with sanity
checks for the positions.
