The clutter_actor_get_allocation_coords() is not used, and since
the switch to floats in the Actor's API, it returns exactly what
the get_allocation_box() returns.
Currently, the transformation matrix for an actor is constructed
from scenegraph-related accessors. An actor, though, can call COGL
API to add new transformations inside the paint() implementation,
for instance:
static void
my_foo_paint (ClutterActor *a)
{
...
cogl_translate (-scroll_x, -scroll_y, 0);
...
}
Unfortunately these transformations will be completely ignored by
the scenegraph machinery; for instance, getting the actor-relative
coordinates from event coordinates is going to break badly because
of this.
In order to make the scenegraph aware of the potential of additional
transformations, we need a ::apply_transform() virtual function. This
vfunc will pass a CoglMatrix which can be used to apply additional
operations:
static void
my_foo_apply_transform (ClutterActor *a, CoglMatrix *m)
{
CLUTTER_ACTOR_CLASS (my_foo_parent_class)->apply_transform (a, m);
...
cogl_matrix_translate (m, -scroll_x, -scroll_y, 0);
...
}
The ::paint() implementation will be called with the actor already
using the newly applied transformation matrix, as expected:
static void
my_foo_paint (ClutterActor *a)
{
...
}
The ::apply_transform() implementations *must* chain up, so that the
various transformations of each class are preserved. The default
implementation inside ClutterActor applies all the transformations
defined by the scenegraph-related accessors.
Actors performing transformations inside the paint() function will
continue to work as previously.
The clutter_actor_pick() function just emits the ::pick signal
on the actor. Nobody should be using it, since the paint() method
is already context sensitive and will result in a ::pick emission
by itself. The clutter_actor_pick() is just confusing things.
The clutter_context_get_default() function is private, but shared
across Clutter. For this reason, it should be prefixed by '_' so
that the symbol is hidden from the shared object.
ActorBox should have methods for easily extracting the X and Y
coordinates of the origin, and the width and height separately.
These methods will make it easier for high-level language bindings
to manipulate ActorBox instances and avoid the Geometry type.
The Vertex and ActorBox boxed types are meant to be used across
the API, but are fairly difficult to bind. Their memory management
is also unclear, and has to go through the indirection of
g_boxed_copy() and g_boxed_free().
We can't short-circuit the emission of ::queue-redraw for not-visible
actors, since ClutterClone uses that signal to know when things need
to be redrawn.
Calling clutter_actor_queue_redraw() out of clutter_actor_real_map() /
clutter_actor_real_unmap() was causing the flag state to get set
incorrectly from _clutter_actor_set_enable_paint_unmapped(), because
a paint queueing a redraw was not expected.
Moving queuing the redraw to clutter_actor_hide()/show() fixes this, and
also fixes a problem where showing a child of a cloned actor wouldn't
cause the clone to be repainted.

Due to the accumulation of floating point errors, natural_width
and min_width can diverge significantly even if the math for
computing them is correct. So just clamp natural_width to
min_width instead of warning about it.

If we are cloning an source actor with an unmapped parent, then when
we temporarily map the source actor:
- We need to skip the check that a mapped actor has a mapped
parent.
- We need to realize the actor's parents before mapping it,
or we'll get an assertion failure in clutter_actor_update_map_state()
because an actor with an unmapped parent is !may_be_realized.

Clutter short-circuits painting when an actor's opacity is
zero. However if the actor is being painted from a ClutterClone then
it will be painted using the clone's opacity instead so the test was
broken.
The mapping and unmapping of the X11 stage implementation is
a bit bong. It's asynchronous, for starters, when it really
can avoid it by tracking the state internally.
The ordering of the map/unmap sequence is also broken with
respect to the resizing.
By tracking the state internally into StageX11 we can safely
remove the MapNotify and UnmapNotify X event handling.
In theory, we should use _NET_WM_STATE a lot more, and reuse
the X11 state flags for fullscreening as well.
Sometimes it is useful to be able to track changes in the allocation
flags, like the absolute origin, inside children of a container.
Using the notify::allocation signal is not enough, in these cases, so
we need a specific signal that gives us both the allocation box and the
allocation flags.
Instead of passing a boolean value, the ::allocate virtual function
should use a bitmask and flags. This gives us room for expansion
without breaking API/ABI, and allows to encode more information to
the allocation process instead of just changes of absolute origin.
Units as they have been implemented since Clutter 0.4 have always been
misdefined as "logical distance unit", while they were just pixels with
fractionary bits.
Units should be reworked to be opaque structures to hold a value and
its unit type, that can be then converted into pixels when Clutter needs
to paint or compute size requisitions and perform allocations.
The previous API should be completely removed to avoid collisions, and
a new type:
ClutterUnits
should be added; the ability to install GObject properties using
ClutterUnits should be maintained.
If the application code calls for destruction of an actor we need
to make sure that the actor is unrealized before running the dispose
sequence; otherwise, we might trigger an assertion failure on composite
actors.
All the underlying implementation and the public entry points have
been switched to floats; the only missing bits are the Actor properties
that deal with positioning and sizing.
This usually means a major pain when dealing with GValues and varargs
functions. While GValue will warn you when dealing with the wrong
conversions, varags will simply die an horrible (and hard to debug)
death via segfault. Nothing much to do here, except warn people in the
release notes and hope for the best.
The allocate_available_size() method is a convenience method in
the same spirit as allocate_preferred_size(). While the latter
will allocate the preferred size of an actor regardless of the
available size provided by the actor's parent -- and thus it's
suitable for simple fixed layout managers like ClutterGroup -- the
former will take into account the available size provided by the
parent and never allocate more than that; it is, thus, suitable
for simple fluid layout managers.
If we are short-circuiting the paint when the opacity is zero we still
need to clear the queued_redraw flag otherwise it won't be possible to
queue another redraw of the actor until something else has caused a
paint first.
* master:
[cogl-vertex-buffer] Ensure the clip state before rendering
[test-text-perf] Small fix-ups
Add a test for text performance
[build] Ensure that cogl-debug is disabled by default
[build] The cogl GE macro wasn't passing an int according to the format string
Use the right internal format for GL_ARB_texture_rectangle
[actor_paint] Ensure painting is a NOP for actors with opacity = 0
Make backface culling work with vertex buffers
Since it is convenient to use geometry with an opacity of 0 for input only
purposes it's a worthwhile optimization to avoid submitting anything
for such actors while painting.
The verify_map_state() internal method is conditionally compiled
if we have CLUTTER_ENABLE_DEBUG set; for this reason, all calls to
that method should be made conditional.
When destroying a top-level actor we can actually relax the verification
of the map state, since it might be fully asynchronous and we might not
re-enter inside the mainloop in time to receive the unmap notification.
For consistency, and since those signals are key-related, the
::focus-in signal is not ::key-focus-in and the ::focus-out
signal is now ::key-focus-out.
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
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.
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().

Bug 1138 - No trackable "mapped" state
* Add a VISIBLE flag tracking application programmer's
expected showing-state for the actor, allowing us to
always ensure we keep what the app wants while tracking
internal implementation state separately.
* Make MAPPED reflect whether the actor will be painted;
add notification on a ClutterActor::mapped property.
Keep MAPPED state updated as the actor is shown,
ancestors are shown, actor is reparented, etc.
* Require a stage and realized parents to realize; this means
at realization time the correct window system and GL resources
are known. But unparented actors can no longer be realized.
* Allow children to be unrealized even if parent is realized.
Otherwise in effect either all actors or no actors are realized,
i.e. it becomes a stage-global flag.
* Allow clutter_actor_realize() to "fail" if not inside a toplevel
* Rework clutter_actor_unrealize() so internally we have
a flavor that does not mess with visibility flag
* Add _clutter_actor_rerealize() to encapsulate a somewhat
tricky operation we were doing in a couple of places
* Do not realize/unrealize children in ClutterGroup,
ClutterActor already does it
* Do not realize impl by hand in clutter_stage_show(),
since showing impl already does that
* Do not unrealize in various dispose() methods, since
ClutterActor dispose implementation already does it
and chaining up is mandatory
* ClutterTexture uses COGL while unrealizable (before it's
added to a stage). Previously this breakage was affecting
ClutterActor because we had to allow realize outside
a stage. Move the breakage to ClutterTexture, by making
ClutterTexture just use COGL while not realized.
* Unrealize before we set parent to NULL in clutter_actor_unparent().
This means unrealize() implementations can get to the stage.
Because actors need the stage in order to detach from stage.
* Update clutter-actor-invariants.txt to reflect latest changes
* Remove explicit hide/unrealize from ClutterActor::dispose since
unparent already forces those
Instead just assert that unparent() occurred and did the right thing.
* Check whether parent implements unrealize before chaining up
Needed because ClutterGroup no longer has to implement unrealize.
* Perform unrealize in the default handler for the signal.
This allows non-containers that have children to work properly,
and allows containers to override how it's done.
* Add map/unmap virtual methods and set MAPPED flag on self and
children in there. This allows subclasses to hook map/unmap.
These are not signals, because notify::mapped is better for
anything it's legitimate for a non-subclass to do.

If we need to check that the layout sequence is correct in
terms of order of execution and with respect to caching, then
having a CLUTTER_DEBUG_LAYOUT debug flag would make things
easier.
Clutter was complaining about netural width smaller than minimum widths
(differences around 0.0005) by using an epsilon value of 1e-4 for these
floating point comparisons, these warnings have now been silenced.

A common use of setting clip is to keep an actor inside its allocation;
right now to do this you have to set up a callback on notify::allocation.
There's no overhead added by sticking another bit in ClutterActor
clip-to-allocation that will clip painting to the allocation if set.

Bug 1499 - clutter_actor_notify_if_geometry_changed causes sync
layout cycles
Whenever clutter_actor_set_{width,height,x,y,size...} is used, extra
synchronous size requests are triggered in
clutter_actor_notify_if_geometry_changed.
If the get_preferred_width() and get_preferred_height() implementations
are particularly costly (e.g. ClutterText) this will result in a performance
impact.
To avoid excessive allocation or requisition cycles we use the
cached values and flags. If we don't have an allocation, we assume
that we need to notify all the properties; if we don't have a size
requisition we notify only width and height; finally, if we do have
a valid allocation we notify only on the changed values.
Add missing (out) annotations to the doc comments for ClutterActor methods
with multiple return values.
Fix the definition of clutter_actor_get_allocation_vertices() to be
consistent with the declaration and have verts[4] rather than verts[].x
