The clutter_stage_fullscreen() and clutter_stage_unfullscreen() are
a GDK-ism. The underlying implementation is already using an accessor
with a boolean parameter.
This should take the amount of collisions between properties, methods
and signals to zero.
The :fullscreen property is very much confusing as it is implemented.
It can be written to a value, but the whole process might fail. If we
set:
g_object_set (stage, "fullscreen", TRUE, NULL);
and the fullscreen process fails or it is not implemented, the value
will be reset to FALSE (if we're lucky) or left TRUE (most of the
times).
The writability is just a shorthand for invoking clutter_stage_fullscreen()
or clutter_stage_unfullscreen() depending on a boolean value without
using an if.
The :fullscreen property also greatly confuses high level languages,
since the same symbol is used:
- for a method name (Clutter.Stage.fullscreen())
- for a property name (Clutter.Stage.fullscreen)
- for a signal (Clutter.Stage::fullscreen)
For these reasons, the :fullscreen should be renamed to :fullscreen-set
and be read-only. Implementations of the Stage should only emit the
StageState event to change from normal to fullscreen, and the Stage
will automatically update the value of the property and emit a notify
signal for it.
ClutterEvent is not really gobject-introspection friendly because
of the whole discriminated union thing. In particular, if you get
a ClutterEvent in a signal handler, you probably can't access the
event-type-specific fields, and you probably can't call methods
like clutter_key_event_symbol() either, because you can't cast the
ClutterEvent to a ClutterKeyEvent.
The cleanest solution is to turn every accessor into ClutterEvent
methods, accepting a ClutterEvent* and internally checking the event
type.

The load-finished signal has a GError* argument which is meant to
signify whether the loading was successful. However many of the
places in ClutterTexture that emit this signal directly pass their
'error' variable which is a GError** and will be NULL or not
completely independently of whether there was an error. If the
argument was dereferenced it would probably crash.
The test-texture-async interactive test case should also verify
that the ::load-finished signal is correctly emitted.

The texture filters are now a property of the material layer rather
than the texture object. Whenever a texture is painted with a material
it sets the filters on all of the GL textures in the Cogl texture. The
filter is cached so that it won't be changed unnecessarily.
The automatic mipmap generation has changed so that the mipmaps are
only generated when the texture is painted instead of every time the
data changes. Changing the texture sets a flag to mark that the
mipmaps are dirty. This works better if the FBO extension is available
because we can use glGenerateMipmap. If the extension is not available
it will temporarily enable automatic mipmap generation and reupload
the first pixel of each slice. This requires tracking the data for the
first pixel.
The COGL_TEXTURE_AUTO_MIPMAP flag has been replaced with
COGL_TEXTURE_NO_AUTO_MIPMAP so that it will default to
auto-mipmapping. The mipmap generation is now effectively free if you
are not using a mipmap filter mode so you would only want to disable
it if you had some special reason to generate your own mipmaps.
ClutterTexture no longer has to store its own copy of the filter
mode. Instead it stores it in the material and the property is
directly set and read from that. This fixes problems with the filters
getting out of sync when a cogl handle is set on the texture
directly. It also avoids the mess of having to rerealize the texture
if the filter quality changes to HIGH because Cogl will take of
generating the mipmaps if needed.
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.
Timelines no longer work in terms of a frame rate and a number of
frames but instead just have a duration in milliseconds. This better
matches the working of the master clock where if any timelines are
running it will redraw as fast as possible rather than limiting to the
lowest rated timeline.
Most applications will just create animations and expect them to
finish in a certain amount of time without caring about how many
frames are drawn. If a frame is going to be drawn it might as well
update all of the animations to some fraction of the total animation
rather than rounding to the nearest whole frame.
The 'frame_num' parameter of the new-frame signal is now 'msecs' which
is a number of milliseconds progressed along the
timeline. Applications should use clutter_timeline_get_progress
instead of the frame number.
Markers can now only be attached at a time value. The position is
stored in milliseconds rather than at a frame number.
test-timeline-smoothness and test-timeline-dup-frames have been
removed because they no longer make sense.
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.
Previously indices were tightly bound to a particular Cogl vertex buffer
but we would like to be able to share indices so now we have
cogl_vertex_buffer_indices_new () which returns a CoglHandle.
In particular we could like to have a shared set of indices for drawing
lists of quads that can be shared between the pango renderer and the
Cogl journal.
Originally cogl_vertex_buffer_add_indices let the user pass in their own unique
ID for the indices; now the Id is generated internally and returned to the
caller.
It's now possible to add arrays of indices to a Cogl vertex buffer and
they will be put into an OpenGL vertex buffer object. Since it's quite
common for index arrays to be static it saves the OpenGL driver from
having to validate them repeatedly.
This changes the cogl_vertex_buffer_draw_elements API: It's no longer
possible to provide a pointer to an index array at draw time. So
cogl_vertex_buffer_draw_elements now takes an indices identifier that
should correspond to an idendifier returned when calling
cogl_vertex_buffer_add_indices ()
The CoglTexture constructors expose the "max-waste" argument for
controlling the maximum amount of wasted areas for slicing or,
if set to -1, disables slicing.
Slicing is really relevant only for large images that are never
repeated, so it's a useful feature only in controlled use cases.
Specifying the amount of wasted area is, on the other hand, just
a way to mess up this feature; 99% the times, you either pull this
number out of thin air, hoping it's right, or you try to do the
right thing and you choose the wrong number anyway.
Instead, we can use the CoglTextureFlags to control whether the
texture should not be sliced (useful for Clutter-GST and for the
texture-from-pixmap actors) and provide a reasonable value for
enabling the slicing ourself. At some point, we might even
provide a way to change the default at compile time or at run time,
for particular platforms.
Since max_waste is gone, the :tile-waste property of ClutterTexture
becomes read-only, and it proxies the cogl_texture_get_max_waste()
function.
Inside Clutter, the only cases where the max_waste argument was
not set to -1 are in the Pango glyph cache (which is a POT texture
anyway) and inside the test cases where we want to force slicing;
for the latter we can create larger textures that will be bigger than
the threshold we set.

Print out the cursor and selection positions in order to verify
the behaviour of the Text actor.
This is a likely candidate for a conformance test unit as well.
COGLenum, COGLint and COGLuint which were simply typedefs for GL{enum,int,uint}
have been removed from the API and replaced with specialised enum typedefs, int
and unsigned int. These were causing problems for generating bindings and also
considered poor style.
The cogl texture filter defines CGL_NEAREST and CGL_LINEAR etc are now replaced
by a namespaced typedef 'CoglTextureFilter' so they should be replaced with
COGL_TEXTURE_FILTER_NEAREST and COGL_TEXTURE_FILTER_LINEAR etc.
The shader type defines CGL_VERTEX_SHADER and CGL_FRAGMENT_SHADER are handled by
a CoglShaderType typedef and should be replaced with COGL_SHADER_TYPE_VERTEX and
COGL_SHADER_TYPE_FRAGMENT.
cogl_shader_get_parameteriv has been replaced by cogl_shader_get_type and
cogl_shader_is_compiled. More getters can be added later if desired.
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
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.
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.
Bug 1513 - Allow passing in ClutterPickMode to
clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos()
At the moment, clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos() uses CLUTTER_PICK_ALL
internally to find an actor. It would be useful to allow passing in
ClutterPickMode to clutter_stage_get_actor_at_pos(), so that the caller
can specify CLUTTER_PICK_REACTIVE as a criteria.
The cogl_is_* functions were showing up quite high on profiles due to
iterating through arrays of cogl handles.
This does away with all the handle arrays and implements a simple struct
inheritance scheme. All cogl objects now add a CoglHandleObject _parent;
member to their main structures. The base object includes 2 members a.t.m; a
ref_count, and a klass pointer. The klass in turn gives you a type and
virtual function for freeing objects of that type.
Each handle type has a _cogl_##handle_type##_get_type () function
automatically defined which returns a GQuark of the handle type, so now
implementing the cogl_is_* funcs is just a case of comparing with
obj->klass->type.
Another outcome of the re-work is that cogl_handle_{ref,unref} are also much
more efficient, and no longer need extending for each handle type added to
cogl. The cogl_##handle_type##_{ref,unref} functions are now deprecated and
are no longer used internally to Clutter or Cogl. Potentially we can remove
them completely before 1.0.
There is no need for a custom hsl to rgb converter since Clutter implements
this logic; originally it wasn't quite as optimal, but that has now been
fixed.
Using test-cogl-vertex-buffer as a test case which is CPU bound due to
hls -> rgb conversions this alternative algorithm looked to be ~10%
faster when tested on an X61s Lenovo.
The test is a sanity check that dynamic updating of vertex data via the cogl
vertex buffer api works and has reasonable performance. (though it can't be
considered a well designed benchmark since it wastes casual amounts of CPU
time simply choosing pretty colors.)
The code also aims to demonstrate one way of creating, updating and efficiently
drawing a quad mesh structure via the vertex buffer api which could be applied
to lots of different use cases.
Only have load-data-async and load-async properties, both are construct
only and the latter adds the former load-size-async behavior on top of
load-data-async.
The fog and perspective API is currently split in two parts:
- the floating point version, using values
- the fixed point version, using structures
The relative properties are using the structure types, since they
are meant to set multiple values at the same time. Instead of
using bare values, the whole API should be coalesced into two
simple calls using structures to match the GObject properties.
Thus:
clutter_stage_set_fog (ClutterStage*, const ClutterFog*)
clutter_stage_get_fog (ClutterStage*, ClutterFog*)
clutter_stage_set_perspective (ClutterStage*, const ClutterPerspective*)
clutter_stage_get_perspective (ClutterStage*, ClutterPerspective*)
Which supercedes the fixed point and floating point variants.
More importantly, both ClutterFog and ClutterPerspective should
using floating point values, since that's what get passed to
COGL anyway.
ClutterFog should also drop the "density" member, since ClutterStage
only allows linear fog; non-linear fog distribution can be achieved
using a signal handler and calling cogl_set_fog() directly; this keeps
the API compact yet extensible.
Finally, there is no ClutterStage:fog so it should be added.
The ClutterColor API has some inconsistencies:
- the string deserialization function does not match the rest of
the conversion function naming policy; the naming should be:
clutter_color_parse() -> clutter_color_from_string()
and the first parameter should be the ClutterColor that will
be set from the string, not the string itself (a GDK-ism).
- the fixed point API should not be exposed, especially in the
form of ClutterFixed values
- the non-fixed point HLS conversion functions do not make any
sense. The values returned should be:
hue := range [ 0, 360 ]
luminance := range [ 0, 1 ]
saturation := range [ 0, 1 ]
like the current fixed point API does. Returning a value in
the [ 0, 255 ] range is completely useless
- the clutter_color_equal() should be converted for its use inside
a GHashTable; a clutter_color_hash() should be added as well
- the second parameter of the clutter_color_shade() function should
be the shading factor, not the result (another GDK-ism). this way
the function call can be translated from this:
color.shade(out result, factor)
to the more natural:
color.shade(factor, out result)
This somewhat large commit fixes all these issues and updates the
internal users of the API.
The test no longer requires an XID argument to run; instead it creates its
own X Window. The test now also aims to demonstrate whether mipmapping is
working, and clearly informs you if fallbacks are being used for GLX tfp.
The :alignment property is prone to generate confusion: developers
will set it thinking that the contents of a ClutterText will
automagically align themselves.
Instead of using the generic term :alignment, and following the
GTK+ convention, we should use a more specific term, conveying the
actual effect of the property: alignment of the lines with respect
to each other, and not to the overall allocated area.

This makes it consistent with cogl_rectangle_with_{multi,}texture_coords.
Notably the reason cogl_rectangle_with_{multi,}texture_coords wasn't changed
instead is that the former approach lets you describe back facing rectangles.
(though technically you could pass negative width/height values to achieve
this; it doesn't seem as neat.)
