The Clutter API reference should have a section on how to port
applications from older version of Clutter to the new API.
The first guide deals on how to port animations created with
ClutterEffect to clutter_actor_animate().
Clutter copies the gtk-doc from the usual gtk+ template, and
has a version.xml.in containing only:
@VERSION@
Without a newline at the end. Unfortunately, it appears that
autoconf has started adding a newline to the generated version.xml
which then is used as the payload for the "version" XML entity.
Instead of using a secondary file we can make configure generate
the whole clutter-docs.xml and cogl-docs.xml files from a template;
this way we also get the ability to substitute more autoconf variables
into the documentation -- if needs be.
Clutter uses checks on various environment variables and installs
various command line switches. The API reference should list them
and document them both.
The ClutterAlpha API reference page should also list the
easing modes Clutter provides by default, by showing the
curves used by each entry in the AnimationMode enumeration.
We can also remove the incomplete graph showing the old
alpha functions.
Add all the unused API to the sections file; there are still
some undocumented bits, but clutter-unused.txt is empty for
the time being.
Also, add ClutterText to the main XML document and remove
ClutterLabel and ClutterEntry.
Bug 1014 - Clutter Animation API Improvements
* clutter/Makefile.am:
* clutter/clutter.h: Update the build
* clutter/clutter-types.h: Add AnimationMode, an enumeration
for easing functions.
* clutter/clutter-alpha.[ch]: Add the :mode property to
control the function bound to an Alpha instance using an
enumeration value. Also add six new alpha functions:
- ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out
- sine-in, sine-out, sine-in-out
* clutter/clutter-deprecated.h: Deprecate the #defines for
the alpha functions. They will be replaced by entries in the
ClutterAnimationMode.
* clutter/clutter-interval.[ch]: Add ClutterInterval, an
object for defining, validating and computing an interval
between two values.
* clutter/clutter-animation.[ch]: Add ClutterAnimation, an
object responsible for animation the properties of a single
actor along an interval of values. ClutterAnimation memory
management is automatic. A simple wrapper method for
ClutterActor is provided:
clutter_actor_animate()
which will create, or update, an animation for the passed
actor.
* clutter/clutter-debug.h:
* clutter/clutter-main.c: Add a new 'animation' debug note.
* clutter/clutter-script.c: Clean up the alpha functions
whitelist, and add the new functions.
* doc/reference/clutter/Makefile.am:
* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-sections.txt: Update the
API reference.
* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation.xml: Renamed to
doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation-tutorial.xml to
avoid clashes with the ClutterAnimation section.
* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.sgml: Renamed to
doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.xml, as it was an XML
file and not a SGML file.
* tests/Makefile.am:
* tests/interactive/Makefile.am:
* tests/interactive/test-animation.c:
* tests/interactive/test-easing.c: Add two tests for the
new simple animation API and the easing functions.
* tests/interactive/test-actors.c:
* tests/interactive/test-behave.c:
* tests/interactive/test-depth.c:
* tests/interactive/test-effects.c:
* tests/interactive/test-layout.c:
* tests/interactive/test-multistage.c:
* tests/interactive/test-paint-wrapper.c:
* tests/interactive/test-rotate.c:
* tests/interactive/test-scale.c:
* tests/interactive/test-texture-quality.c:
* tests/interactive/test-threads.c:
* tests/interactive/test-viewport.c: Update interactive tests
to the deprecations and new alpha API.
* clutter/clutter-overview.xml: Split the overview into its own
file, so we gtk-doc can linkify all class names.
* clutter/building-clutter.xml: Split the building instructions
into its own file, for better maintainability.
* clutter/clutter-animation.xml:
* clutter/creating-behaviours.xml:
* clutter/subclassing-ClutterActor.xml: Rename from SGML to XML;
these were not SGML files anyway, but templates.
* clutter/clutter-docs.sgml: Use XInclude instead of the ugly
entities hack.
* clutter/Makefile.am: Update the build.
* clutter/clutter-docs.sgml: Add index for the 0.8 symbols.
* clutter/Makefile.am:
* cogl/Makefile.am: Revert back, as EXTRA_DIST has been defined
by gtk-doc.make and automake-1.9 complains loudly about a
redefinition of EXTRA_DIST.
