The DragAction should, by default, drag the actor to which it has been
applied, instead of delegating what to do to the developer. If custom
code need to override it, g_signal_stop_emission_by_name() can be called
to stop the default handler to ever running.
The drawing code from test_invalid_texture_layers which draws a
rectangle, a polygon and a vertex buffer has been split out to
separate function. test_using_all_layers now also uses this so that it
will also test the other two primitives. This causes the test to fail
when all of the layers are drawn using a vertex buffer.

The ClutterActor API should have modifier methods for adding, removing
and retrieving Actions and Constraints using the ClutterActorMeta:name
property - mostly, for convenience.
To demonstrate that constraints can be used to reposition actors in a
resizable stage, set the :user-resizable property to TRUE, and spend the
next 15 minutes playing with the stage size.
AlignConstraint is a simple constraint that keeps an actor's position
aligned to the width or height of another actor, multiplied by an
alignment factor.
GLES 2 doesn't have GL_MAX_TEXTURE_UNITS. Instead the cogl backend
uses GL_MAX_TEXTURE_IMAGE_UNITS with a maximum limit of 16. The same
restriction is now used in the test.
DragAction is an Action sub-class that provides dragging capabilities to
any actor. DragAction has:
• drag-begin, drag-motion and drag-end signals, relaying the event
information like coordinates, button and modifiers to user code;
• drag-threshold property, for delaying the drag start by a given
amount of pixels;
• drag-handle property, to allow using other actors as the drag
handle.
• drag-axis property, to allow constraining the dragging to a specific
axis.
An interactive test demonstrating the various features is also provided.
This adds a simple test for ClutterCairoTexture that draws two
rectangles to the cairo surface in an idle callback and then verifies
that they appeared at the right colours in the paint callback. If that
succeeds then the second time the idle callback is invoked it will
replace one of the rectangles with a sub region update and the
following paint callback will again verify the rectangles.
Instead of asking gtester to run ./test-conformance directly we now tell
it to run a list of wrapper scripts. This results in each test being
spawned in a separate process avoiding leakage of state between tests
which has been a big problem with the conformance tests for quite a
while now.
Otherwise it seems that rounding errors will cause the fragments at
the edge of the quad to blend with neighbouring quarters of the
texture which cause the test to fail.
A few of the tests connected to the paint signal but never
disconnected it. Most of these handlers had a call to g_main_quit in
them which meant that it could sometimes cause subsequent tests to
exit after the first frame is painted. Most of the tests don't
validate any of the results until after a couple of frames have been
rendered so this ended up skipping out the test entirely.
To workaround this the test setup function now disconnects all
handlers for the paint signal on the default stage before the test is
run.
The on_paint function for test-cogl-readpixels tries to temporarily
set the projection, modelview and viewport to its own values. However
it was never restoring the saved values so it could affect the results
of subsequent tests.
This adds a test which creates a material using the maximum number of
layers. All of the layers are assigned a white texture except the last
which is set to red. The default combine mode is used for all of the
layers so the final fragment should end up red.
Currently Cogl doesn't provide a way to query the maximum number of
layers so it just uses glGetIntegerv instead. This might cause
problems on GLES 2 because that adds additional restrictions on the
number of layers.

This changes the original tests so that it splits the original path
into two sub paths. When adding a new block to the copied path it also
adds another sub path. This further stresses the path copying
mechanism and exposes a bug.
It also tests intersections by drawing a self-intersecting path and a
path with two sub-paths that overlap. Where the path overlaps it
should be inverted.
This renders a texture using different combinations of wrap modes for
the s and t coordinates and then verifies that the expected wrapping
is acheived. The texture is drawn using rectangles, polygons and
vbos. There is also code to test a rectangle using an atlased texture
(which should test the manual repeating) however the validation for
this is currently disabled because it doesn't work.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2063
This tests various paths drawing rectangles and verifies that the
expected pixels are filled in. Some of the paths are drawn by copying
an existing path and modifying it which should test the copy-on-write
code.
This updates test-cogl-offscreen to give an example of setting up a
CoglFramebuffer with a Clutter style 2D coordinate system with (0,0) top
left and (framebuffer_width, framebuffer_height) bottom right.
test-cogl-tex-polygon creates a separate material so that it can set
the texture filters. However in the paint functions that use
cogl_polygon it was calling cogl_set_source_texture which replaces the
material and ends up always using GL_LINEAR. This patch makes the
paint functions assume the correct source is set up instead of trying
to select a new source.
Added new "homogeneous" mode to ClutterBoxLayout, that makes layout children
get all the same size.
This is heavily inspired in the "homogeneous" attribute available in GtkBox,
but simplified as we don't have padding nor borders in box layout, only
spacing.
Also added to test-box-layout a key to set/unset homogeneous mode.
* Coding style fixes.
* Added proper test for homogeneous mode in box layout.

The test creates a GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB texture using
cogl_texture_new_from_foreign and confirms that rendering it works
correctly. If the rectangle texture extension isn't available then
this test always succeeds.

The FlowLayout fails to provide a preferred size in case no sizing is
specified on one axis. It should, instead, have the preferred size of
the sum of its children, depending on the orientation property.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2013
cogl_read_pixels() no longer asserts that the format passed in is
RGBA_8888 but instead accepts any format. The appropriate GL enums for
the format are passed to glReadPixels so OpenGL should be perform a
conversion if neccessary.
It currently assumes glReadPixels will always give us premultiplied
data. This will usually be correct because the result of the default
blending operations for Cogl ends up with premultiplied data in the
framebuffer. However it is possible for the framebuffer to be in
whatever format depending on what CoglMaterial is used to render to
it. Eventually we may want to add a way for an application to inform
Cogl that the framebuffer is not premultiplied in case it is being
used for some special purpose.
If the requested format is not premultiplied then Cogl will convert
it. The tests have been changed to read the data as premultiplied so
that they won't be affected by the conversion. Picking in Clutter has
been changed to use COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGB_888 because it doesn't need
the alpha component. clutter_stage_read_pixels is left unchanged
because the application can't specify a format for that so it seems to
make most sense to store unpremultiplied values.

Allow a ClutterModel to be constructed through the ClutterScript API.
Currently this allows a model to be generated like like this:
{
"id" : "test-model",
"type" : "ClutterListModel",
"columns" : [
[ "text-column", "gchararray" ],
[ "int-column", "gint" ],
[ "actor-column", "ClutterRectangle" ]
]
}
where 'columns' is an array containing arrays of column-name,
column-type pairs.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2007
The adds tests for the remaining layer combine functions, the 1 minus
value operator and the TEXTURE_N source. Note however that Cogl
currently fails when parsing a TEXTURE_N source so the test is
commented out.
We need to make the Stage set the MAPPED flag on itself if we want to
verify the MAPPED state. That was always the case - it just worked
before because the Stage was shown at least once.
It was passing the number of vertices to
cogl_vertex_buffer_draw_elements but instead it should take the
maximum index which would be the number of vertices minus one. This
was causing errors to be reported with the checks filterset of Bugle.
If an actor is lying on the border of the Stage it might miss the LEAVE
event when the pointer of a device leaves the Stage window. Since the
backend is unsetting the Stage back pointer on the InputDevice we can
queue the emission of a LEAVE event on the pointer actor as well.
http://bugzilla.moblin.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9677
Since all conformance tests share the same state we should not touch
stuff like the stage size; sharing is already fairly complex and adds a
lot of caveats on the implementation of a conformance test unit, and if
we make tests influence later ones then we might slip in bugs or false
negatives - thus defeating the whole point of a conformance test suite.
The g_assert_cmpint() macro prints out not just the assertion condition
but also the assertion contents; this is useful to catch wrong values
without incrementing the verbosity of the test itself.
Since the "internal" state is global, it will leak onto actors that you
didn't intend for it to, because it applies not just to the actors you
create, but also to any actors *they* create. Eg, if you have a dialog
box class, you might push/pop_internal around creating its buttons, so
that those buttons get marked as internal to the dialog box. But
ctx->internal_child will still be set during the *button*'s constructor
as well, and so, eg, the label and icon inside the button actor will
*also* be marked as internal children, even if that isn't what the
button class wanted.
The least intrusive change at this point is to make push_internal() and
pop_internal() two methods of the Actor class, and take a ClutterActor
pointer as the argument - thus moving the locality of the internal_child
counter to the Actor itself.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1990
When creating a Cogl sub-texture, if the full texture is also a sub
texture it will now just offset the x and y and reference the full
texture instead. This avoids one level of indirection when rendering
the texture which reduces the chances of getting rounding errors in
the calculations.
The test was calling g_object_get to fetch the "opacity-start" property
(unsigned int) into a guint8 local variable. It's a bit of a mean trap
given that the getter function returns guint8 values so this also adds a
comment explaining what's going on.
* animator-parser:
docs: Describe the Animation definition syntax
animator: Provide a ClutterScript parser
animator: Allow retrieving type property type from a key
script: Use a node when resolving an animation mode
The whole point of having the Animator class is that the developer can
describe a complex animation using ClutterScript. Hence, ClutterAnimator
should hook into the Script machinery and parse a specific description
format for its keys.
ClutterAnimator is a class for managing the animation of multiple
properties of multiple actors over time with keyframing of values.
The Animator class is meant to be used to effectively describe
animations using the ClutterScript definition format, and to construct
complex implicit animations from the ground up.

This adds three new texture backends.
- CoglTexture2D: This is a trimmed down version of CoglTexture2DSliced
which only supports a single texture and only works with the
GL_TEXTURE_2D target. The code is a lot simpler so it has a less
overheads than dealing with slices. Cogl will use this wherever
possible.
- CoglSubTexture: This is used to get a CoglHandle to represent a
subregion of another texture. The texture can be used as if it was a
standalone texture but it does not need to copy the resources.
- CoglAtlasTexture: This collects RGB and RGBA textures into a single
GL texture with the aim of reducing texture state changes and
increasing batching. The backend will try to manage the atlas and
may move the textures around to close gaps in the texture. By
default all textures will be placed in the atlas.
When running tests under Valgrind it would be useful to pass a
suppression file for the known one-off allocations done by Clutter
and by its dependencies. This trims the output of Valgrind and
improves the ability to actually spot leaks.
The coverage of the Behaviour sub-classes is currently abysmal. An
initial test suite for Behaviours should at least verify that the
accessors and the constructors are doing the right thing.
This initial test suite just verifies the BehaviourOpacity sub-class,
but it already bumps up the overall coverage by 2%.

It's very useful to see the actual number the reference value is
compared too when the test fails. GTest has g_assert_cmp$type()
functions for that, so make good use of them.
A small doubt has risen about the use of CoglTextureUnit in materials:
will texture matrices still work if we have several materials, each of
them having at texture on the same texture unit? The answer is yes!
test-cogl-multitexture has been extended to use 2 materials with about
the same setup except a little difference: the texture matrices for the
lightmaps rotate in opposite directions.
While at it, changed the rotation behaviour by an implicit animation
with a small additional bonus bling.
The extension keyboard support in XInput 1.x is hopelessly broken.
Nevertheless, it's possible to use some bits of it, as we prefer the
core keyboard events to the XInput events, thus at least having proper
handling for X11 key events on the Stage window.
• The enter/leave event line should take into account the case where
the related field is set to NULL (meaning entering from off-stage
and leaving the stage).
• The ButtonRelease line shows the click count but uses the button; the
button *and* the click count should be displayed for both ButtonPress
and ButtonRelease, to verify they match.
The output of test-events is a bit of a mess; this patch should clean
it up a little bit - at least enough for it to be useful again during
visual inspection.
Otherwise the paint handler will still be run for the subsequent
tests. This ends up writing to the ‘state’ variable which used to be
on the stack so it will end up corrupting some stack variable. This
was causing test-cogl-premult to fail.
The sub texture backend doesn't work well as a completely general
texture backend because for example when rendering with cogl_polygon
it needs to be able to tranform arbitrary texture coordinates without
reference to the other coordintes. This can't be done when the texture
coordinates are a multiple of one because sometimes the coordinate
should represent the left or top edge and sometimes it should
represent the bottom or top edge. For example if the s coordinates are
0 and 1 then 1 represents the right edge but if they are 1 and 2 then
1 represents the left edge.
Instead the sub-textures are now documented not to support coordinates
outside the range [0,1]. The coordinates for the sub-region are now
represented as integers as this helps avoid rounding issues. The
region can no longer be a super-region of the texture as this
simplifies the code quite a lot.
There are two new texture virtual functions:
transform_quad_coords_to_gl - This transforms two pairs of coordinates
representing a quad. It will return FALSE if the coordinates can
not be transformed. The sub texture backend uses this to detect
coordinates that require repeating which causes cogl-primitives
to use manual repeating.
ensure_non_quad_rendering - This is used in cogl_polygon and
cogl_vertex_buffer to inform the texture backend that
transform_quad_to_gl is going to be used. The atlas backend
migrates the texture out of the atlas when it hits this.
This adds a test which renders a texture into a 1x1 pixel quad with
and without filters that use mipmaps. The pixel without mipmaps will
be one of the colors from the texture and the one with will be the
average of all the pixels in the texture.
If a user supplied multiple groups of texture coordinates with
cogl_rectangle_with_multitexture_coords() then we would repeatedly log only
the first group in the journal. This fixes that bug and adds a conformance
test to verify the fix.
Thanks to Gord Allott for reporting this bug.
The test-text "fake scrolling" code stopped working somewhere between
0.8 and 0.9, with the new layout code. Instead of the ::cursor-event
signal it should use an approach similar to the Scrollable interface in

Right now, it makes sense to ignore this code entirely.

ClutterLayoutManager does not have any state associated with it, and
defers all the state to its sub-classes.
The BoxLayout is thus in charge of controlling:
• whether or not animations should be used
• the duration of the animation
• the easing mode of the animation
By adding three new properties:
• ClutterBoxLayout:use-animations
• ClutterBoxLayout:easing-duration
• ClutterBoxLayout:easing-mode
And their relative accessors pairs we can make BoxLayout decide whether
or not, and with which parameters, call the begin_animation() method of
ClutterLayoutManager.
The test-box-layout has been modified to reflect this new functionality,
by checking the key-press event for the 'a' key symbol to toggle the use
of animations.

cogl_push_draw_buffer, cogl_set_draw_buffer and cogl_pop_draw_buffer are now
deprecated and new code should use the new cogl_framebuffer_* API instead.
Code that previously did:
cogl_push_draw_buffer ();
cogl_set_draw_buffer (COGL_OFFSCREEN_BUFFER, buffer);
/* draw */
cogl_pop_draw_buffer ();
should now be re-written as:
cogl_push_framebuffer (buffer);
/* draw */
cogl_pop_framebuffer ();
As can be seen from the example above the rename has been used as an
opportunity to remove the redundant target argument from
cogl_set_draw_buffer; it now only takes one call to redirect to an offscreen
buffer, and finally the term framebuffer may be a bit more familiar to
anyone coming from an OpenGL background.
Since the rectangles packed inside the BoxLayout interactive test
have random colors it's not easy to verify the ordering. By using
the CoglPango API to print out the index in the middle of each
rectangle.
These changes caused the test to try to load redhand.png but this no
longer works since the TESTS_DATADIR changes in 0b4899ef23. The only
use of the hand is commented out anyway so it looks like the changes
were intended for temporary debugging.
cogl_clip_push, and cogl_clip_push_window_rect which are now deprecated were
used in various places internally so this just switches to using the
replacement functions.
cogl_clip_push() which accepts a rectangle in model space shouldn't have
been defined to take x,y,width,height arguments because this isn't consistant
with other Cogl API dealing with model space rectangles. If you are using a
coordinate system with the origin at the center and the y+ extending up,
then x,y,width,height isn't as natural as (x0,y0)(x1,y1). This API has
now been replace with cogl_clip_push_rectangle()
(As a general note: the Cogl API should only use the x,y,width,height style
when the appropriate coordinate space is defined by Cogl to have a top left
origin. E.g. window coordinates, or potentially texture coordinates)
cogl_clip_push_window_rect() shouldn't have been defined to take float
arguments since we only clip with integral pixel precision. We also
shouldn't have abbreviated "rectangle". This API has been replaced with
cogl_clip_push_window_rectangle()
cogl_clip_ensure() wasn't documented at all in Clutter 1.0 and probably
no one even knew it existed. This API isn't useful, and so it's now
deprecated. If no one complains we may remove the API altogether for
Clutter 1.2.
cogl_clip_stack_save() and cogl_clip_stack_restore() were originally added
to allow us to save/restore the clip when switching to/from offscreen
rendering. Now that offscreen draw buffers are defined to own their clip
state and the state will be automatically saved and restored this API is now
redundant and so deprecated.
The build for interactive tests creates symbolic links for the data
under tests/data; it also uses symbolic links for creating "binaries"
for each interactive test. This is less than ideal, though.
Instead, the tests should build a path to the data files by using
a pre-processor define like TESTS_DATADIR; both g_build_filename() and
pre-processor string concatenation can be used to generate a valid
file name with the full path to the files.
The build system should also create wrapper scripts, just like we
do inside the conformance test suite, to be able to launch single
tests.
The ClutterScript parser needs to be extended to parse child properties
and apply them after an actor has been added to a container. In order to
distinguish child properties from regular GObject properties we can use
the "child::" prefix, e.g.:
{
"type" : "ClutterRectangle",
"id" : "child-01",
"child::has-focus" : true,
...
}
Parsing child properties can be deferred to the ClutterScriptable
interface, just like regular properties.
All the ClutterColor parsing rules should be coalesced inside
clutter_script_parse_color(): object, array and string notations
are the canonical ways of defining a ClutterColor inside a
ClutterScript definition. Having a single function in charge of
the parsing cleans up the code.
ClutterScript is a very complicated piece of machinery, with a
parser that has custom variations on top of the basic JSON
format; it could also be extended in the future, so if we don't
want to introduce regressions or break existing ClutterScript
definitions, we'd better have a conformance test suite.
The units under the conformance test suite should be able to use
external files. Linking the files in tests/conform like the
interactive tests do seems like a hack piled on top of a hack, so
instead we should provide a programmatic way for a conformance
test unit to get the full path of a file, regardless of where the
tests/data directory is.
We can use a define to get the full path of tests/data and then
a function using g_build_filename() to construct the path to the
file we want.
This test tried to do too much, and I can't remember the last time I saw this
test work.
It no longer tries to create a texture from an offscreen actor and it no
longer tries to use shaders.
It does though show that chaining of clutter_texture_new_from_actor now
works, and that animating the source actor is reflected in textures created
from it.
When run you should see three actors:
- on the left is the pristine source actor rotating around the y-axis
- in the middle is the first texture created from the source actor
- and on the right a texture created from the middle actor
Note: the somewhat strange bobbing of the middle and right textures is
actually correct given how it was decided long ago to map the transformed
(to screen space) allocation of the source actor to the texture. When the
hand spins around the perspective projection of the top of the hand results
in the origin of the texture bobbing up to a higher stage position, but the
position of the textures is fixed. This design also means we end up
reallocating our offscreen draw buffer every frame that the actors
transformed size changes, which isn't ideal.
Since offscreen rendering is internally forced to be upside down Cogl
needs to reverse the glFrontFace winding order so as not to interfere
with the use of cogl_set_backface_culling_enabled()
This ensures we test that mechanism.
Mostly this was written to verify that we don't flip the data read back from
an offscreen draw buffer. (since all offscreen rendering is done upside
down)
This adds a basic test to check that rendering a few colored rectangles
offscreen works and that the modelview gets restored when switching back to
the previous buffer.
Unlike OpenGL Cogl puts the origin of windows/viewports at the top left
instead of bottom left. This test verifies that we correctly translate Cogl
viewports to OpenGL viewports for the awkward cases where the given viewport
has an offset and/or the viewport has a different size to the current draw
buffer.
It helps to be able to quickly glance at the definition to see which
quadrant of the test actor should be which color, so when debugging a
problem and looking at the visual output you can easily verify if it's being
flipped upside down/left to right.
This contains four tests :-
- A regular onscreen source with a clone next to it
- An offscreen source with a clone. This is currently commented out
because it no longer works.
- An onscreen source with a rectangular clip and a clone.
- An onscreen source with a clip from a path and a clone.
The sources are all a 2x2 grid of colors. Each clone is tested that it
either contains the color that should be at that grid position or that
the stage color is showing through if the source is clipped.

code (i.e. x11,glx,wgl,osx,egl etc) from Clutter to Cogl.
The utils/ and pango/ directories aren't added by this commit, but they are
noted because I plan to add them soon.
Overview of the planned structure:
* The winsys/ API is the API that binds OpenGL to a specific window system,
be that X11 or win32 etc. Example are glx, wgl and egl. Much of the logic
under clutter/{glx,osx,win32 etc} should migrate here.
* Note there is also the idea of a winsys-base that may represent a window
system for which there are multiple winsys APIs. An example of this is
x11, since glx and egl may both be used with x11. (currently only Clutter
has the idea of a winsys-base)
* The driver/ represents a specific varient of OpenGL. Currently we have "gl"
representing OpenGL 1.4-2.1 (mostly fixed function) and "gles" representing
GLES 1.1 (fixed funciton) and 2.0 (fully shader based)
* Everything under cogl/ should fundamentally be supporting access to the
GPU. Essentially Cogl's most basic requirement is to provide a nice GPU
Graphics API and drawing a line between this and the utility functionality
we add to support Clutter should help keep this lean and maintainable.
* Code under utils/ as suggested builds on cogl/ adding more convenient
APIs or mechanism to optimize special cases. Broadly speaking you can
compare cogl/ to OpenGL and utils/ to GLU.
* clutter/pango will be moved to clutter/cogl/pango
How some of the internal configure.ac/pkg-config terminology has changed:
backendextra -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE # e.g. "x11"
backendextralib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_BASE_LIB # e.g. "x11/libclutter-x11.la"
clutterbackend -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS # e.g. "glx"
CLUTTER_FLAVOUR -> {CLUTTER,COGL}_WINSYS
clutterbackendlib -> CLUTTER_WINSYS_LIB
CLUTTER_COGL -> COGL_DRIVER # e.g. "gl"
Note: The CLUTTER_FLAVOUR and CLUTTER_COGL defines are kept for apps
As the first thing to take advantage of the new winsys component in Cogl;
cogl_get_proc_address() has been moved from cogl/{gl,gles}/cogl.c into
cogl/common/cogl.c and this common implementation first trys
_cogl_winsys_get_proc_address() but if that fails then it falls back to
gmodule.
When computing the pixels value of a ClutterUnits value we should
be caching the value to avoid recomputing for every call of
clutter_units_to_pixels(). We already have a flag telling us to
return the cached value, but we miss the mechanism to evict the
cache whenever the Backend settings affecting the conversion, that
is default font and resolution, change.
In order to implement the eviction we can use a "serial"; the
Backend will have an internal serial field which we retrieve and
put inside the ClutterUnits structure (we split one of the two
64 bit padding fields into two 32 bit fields to maintain ABI); every
time we call clutter_units_to_pixels() we compare the units serial
with that of the Backend; if they match and pixels_set is set to
TRUE then we just return the stored pixels value. If the serials
do not match then we unset the pixels_set flag and recompute the
pixels value.
We can verify this by adding a simple test unit checking that
by changing the resolution of ClutterBackend we get different
pixel values for 1 em.

Input Methods require to be able to set a "pre-edit string", that is
a string that it's just displayed into the Text actor without being
committed to the actor's buffer. The string might require custom Pango
attributes, and an update of the cursor position.
FlowLayout should compute the correct height for the assigned width when
in horizontal flow, and the correct width for the assigned height when
in vertical flow. This means pre-computing the number of lines inside
the get_preferred_width() and get_preferred_height(). We can then cache
the computed column width and row height, cache them inside the layout
and then use them when allocating the children.
FlowLayout is a layout manager that arranges its children in a
reflowing line; the orientation controls the major axis for the
layout: horizontal, for reflow on the Y axis, and vertical, for
reflow on the X axis.
There are three potential variants to add a child inside a Box
with a BinLayout:
- clutter_box_pack(), a variadic argument function which
allows passing arbitrary LayoutMeta properties and values;
- clutter_bin_layout_add(), which uses the backpointer to
the container from the LayoutManager and sets the layout
properties directly without GValue (de)marshalling
- clutter_container_add_actor() and
clutter_bin_layout_set_alignment(), similar to the
clutter_bin_layout_add() function above, but split in two
The test-box interactive test should exercise all three variants.
The ClutterBox::add method is a simple wrapper around the Container
add_actor() method and the LayoutManager layout properties API. It
allows adding an actor to a Box and setting the layout properties in
one call.
If the LayoutManager used by the Box does not support layout properties
then the add() method short-circuits out.
Along with the varargs version of the method there's also a vector-based
variant, for language bindings to use.
Each actor managed by a BinLayout policy should reside inside its
own "layer", with horizontal and vertical alignment. The :x-align
and :y-align properties of the BinLayout are the default alignment
policies, which are copied to each new "layer" when it is created.
The set_alignment() and get_alignment() methods of BinLayout can
be changed to operate on a specific "layer".
The whole machinery uses the new ChildMeta support inside the
LayoutManager base abstract class.
Current parsing of units has a number of shortcomings:
* a number followed by trailing space (without any unit specified) was
not recognized,
* "5 emeralds" was parsed as 5em,
* the way we parse the digits after the separator makes us lose
precision for no good reason (5.0 is parsed as 5.00010014...f which
makes g_assert_cmpfloat() fail)
Let's define a stricter grammar we can recognize and try to do so. The
description is in EBNF form, removing the optional <> which is a pain
when having to write DocBook, and using '' for the terminal symbols.
Last step, add more ClutterUnits unit test to get a better coverage of
the grammar we want to parse.

Parse #rgb and #rrggbb in addition to forms with the alpha channel
specified. This allows conversion of colour strings from documents such as
CSS where the alpha channel is not specified when using '#' notation.
This patch also adds the relevant conformance test.
The user-initiated resize is conflicting with the allocated size. This
happens because we change the size of the stage's X Window behind the
back of the size allocation machinery.
Instead, we should change the size of the actor whenever we receive a
ConfigureNotify event to reflect the new size of the actor.
I just wasted a silly amount time trying to bisect an apparently broken
cogl-test-multitexture until I realized it was just silently failing to load
any textures.
This unit verifies that an Actor class will invoke the get_preferred_*
virtual functions unless the caching is in effect; it also verifies
that the cached values are correctly evicted.
The size requisition and allocation mechanisms should be thoroughly
tested to avoid unwanted regressions.
For starters, we can test the explicit size setting and the side
effects of calling clutter_actor_set_size().
The test-script.json UI definition still used old types, like
ClutterLabel and ClutterCloneTexture. It should move to the classes
that have replaced them.
We need to test that the depth sorting of ClutterGroup works correctly
in case we wish to change the data structure that stores the children,
and do so without changing the default behaviour.
in tests/interactive/Makefile.am add wrapper.sh to EXTRA_DIST otherwise
interactive unit tests wont be runnable when building from distributed
tarballs.
We should follow the convention for boxed types initializers of:
<type_name>_from_<another_type> (boxed, value)
For ClutterUnits as well; so:
clutter_units_pixels -> clutter_units_from_pixels
clutter_units_em -> clutter_units_from_em
...
We should still keep the short-hand version as a macro, though.
The ClutterColor conformance test should have a unit for verifying
the RGB<->HLS conversion code, especially the ability to roundtrip
between the two colorspaces.
AM_LDFLAGS is ignored by the LDFLAGS target, and it's also not the right
place to put the libraries used by the linker.
Thanks to Vincent Untz for spotting this.
The perspective test was used essentially to determine whether the
perspective set up in COGL worked correctly. The perspective code
has been changed a lot since Clutter 0.3: we rely on client-side
matrices and we use floating point; so, all the conditions the test
was supposed to verify do not exist anymore.
Fixes and adds a unit test for creating and drawing using materials with
COGL_INVALID_HANDLE texture layers.
This may be valid if for example the user has set a texture combine string
that only references a constant color.
_cogl_material_flush_layers_gl_state will bind the fallback texture for any
COGL_INVALID_HANDLE layer, later though we could explicitly check when the
current blend mode does't actually reference a texture source in which case
binding the fallback texture is redundant.
This tests drawing using cogl_rectangle, cogl_polygon and
cogl_vertex_buffer_draw.
To allow for flushing of batched geometry within Cogl we can't support users
directly calling glReadPixels. glReadPixels is also awkward, not least
because it returns upside down image data.
All the unit tests have been swithed over and clutter_stage_read_pixels now
sits on top of this too.
test-cogl-tex-getset was assuming it was dealing with
COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBA_8888 but since merging the premultiplcation branch
the pixel format is actually COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_RGBA_8888_PRE
Texture data is now in premultiplied format and the shader should
output a premultiplied color if the default blend mode is being
used. Shaders that directly manipulate the rgb values now
unpremultiply and premultiply again afterwards.
Now that we can safely check for an uninitialized Clutter we
don't have side effects in calling one of the functions like
clutter_x11_enable_xinput(), which require to be called before
any other Clutter function.
The input device API is split halfway thorugh the backends in a very
weird way. The data structures are private, as they should, but most
of the information should be available in the main API since it's
generic enough.
The device type enumeration, for instance, should be common across
every backend; the accessors for device type and id should live in the
core API. The internal API should always use ClutterInputDevice and
not the private X11 implementation when dealing with public structures
like ClutterEvent.
By adding accessors for the device type and id, and by moving the
device type enumeration into the core API we can cut down the amount
of symbols private and/or visible only to the X11 backends; this way
when other backends start implementing multi-pointer support we can
share the same API across the code.
The test-easing interactive demo for the high-level animation API
is a bit "flat". Instead of using a Rectangle actor we should
probably be using something more "interesting" -- like a CairoTexture
with a gradient.
In order to chain up animations using clutter_actor_animate() and
friends you have to use an idle handler that guarantees that the
main loop spins at least once after the animation pointer has been
detached from the actor.
This has several drawbacks, first and foremost the fact that the
slice of the main loop for the idle handler might be starved by
other operations, like redrawing. This inevitably leads to tricks
with priorities and the like, contributing to the overall complexity.
Instead, we should guarantee that the animation instance created by
clutter_actor_animate() is valid for the ::completed signal until
it reaches its default handler; after that, the animation is detached
from the actor and destroyed. This means that it's possible to
create a new animation after the first is complete by simply using
g_signal_connect_after().
This unfortunately makes it impossible to keep a reference to the
animation pointer attached to the actor by using g_object_ref(); a
way to "fix" this would be to have a clutter_animation_attach()
and a clutter_animation_detach() pair of methods that allow attaching
any animation to an actor. This might overcomplicate what it is
the simple animation API, though, so it's currently not implemented
and left for future versions.
The test-easing interactive demo has been modified to show how
the animation queuing works by adding a command line switch that
recenters the animated actor once the first animation has ended.
In order to be ready for the next major version of GLib we need to
disable single header inclusion by using the G_DISABLE_SINGLE_INCLUDES
define in the build process.
The test has been broken since the change to use floats instead of
fixed point because it was passing degrees to sin and cos but they
expect radians.
It was further broken since the timeline changes because it was
directly using the parameter of the new-frame signal as a frame number
but it now represents the elapsed time.
We need to fix the VBO premultiplication; we also do not need to
forcibly queue a redraw in an idle handler: the timeline and the
master clock will do that for us.
The test-actors test (and its clones, test-actor-clone and
test-paint-wrapper) was written a long time ago for a different API
and has been tweaked to bits. We should probably have something a
little bit more complicated, but at least we should not use semantics
and coding patterns from Clutter 0.2, otherwise we won't be testing
anything except that Clutter 0.2 worked.

cogl_texture_new_from_data lets you specify a source format for the users given
data, and an internal format which the user wants the GPU to see. This unit
test verifies that the users data is premultiplied, un-premultiplied or
left alone for a number of (source format, internal format) pairs.
cogl_texture_set_region allows specifying a source format, and the internal
format is determined from the texture being updated. As above we test
a number of format pairs and check Cogl is converting data correctly.
The test verifies that if the user allows COGL_FORMAT_ANY for the
internal_format then by default Cogl will choose a premultipled format for
RGBA textures.
Note: Currently this only tests cogl_texture_new_from_data and
cogl_texture_set_region, we should also test cogl_texture_new_from_file,
cogl_texture_new_from_bitmap and cogl_texture_new_from_foreign.
The fixed function fogging provided by OpenGL only works with unmultiplied
colors (or if the color has an alpha of 1.0) so since we now premultiply
textures and colors by default a note to this affect has been added to
clutter_stage_set_fog and cogl_set_fog.
test-depth.c no longer uses clutter_stage_set_fog for this reason.
In the future when we can depend on fragment shaders we should also be
able to support fogging of premultiplied primitives.
This test assumes that the textures will be stored internally with exactly
the color given so that specific texture combining arithmetic can be
tested. Using COGL_PIXEL_FORMAT_ANY allows Cogl to internally premultiply
the textures, so we have to explicitly request an unmultiplied format.
Many operations, like mixing two textures together or alpha-blending
onto a destination with alpha, are done most logically if texture data
is in premultiplied form. We also have many sources of premultiplied
texture data, like X pixmaps, FBOs, cairo surfaces. Rather than trying
to work with two different types of texture data, simplify things by
always premultiplying texture data before uploading to GL.
Because the default blend function is changed to accommodate this,
uses of pure-color CoglMaterial need to be adapted to add
premultiplication.
gl/cogl-texture.c gles/cogl-texture.c: Always premultiply
non-premultiplied texture data before uploading to GL.
cogl-material.c cogl-material.h: Switch the default blend functions
to ONE, ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA so they work correctly with premultiplied
data.

premultiplication and its interaction with color values.

...
The changes in the master clock and the repaint cycle have been
changed, and broke the way the test for the Text actor cache of
PangoLayouts forces a redraw.
We have to call clutter_actor_paint() on the Stage embedding the
Text actor we want to test; this is kinda fugly because if the
Layout has changed it will end up causing a reallocation cycle
in the middle of the Text actor paint. Since it's a test case,
and since forcing redraws is a bit of a hack as well, we can
close both our eyes on that.
This reverts commit 9c5663d671.
The patch was causing problems for applications that expect the
elapsed_time to be at either end of the timeline when the completed
signal is fired. For example test-behave swaps the direction of the
timeline in the completed handler but if the time has overflowed the
end then the timeline would only take a short time to get back the
beginning. This caused the animation to just vibrate around the
beginning.
The new-frame signal of a timeline was previously guaranteed to be
emitted with the elapsed_time set to the end before it emits the
completed signal. This doesn't necessarily make sense for looping
timelines because it would cause the elapsed time to be clamped to a
slightly off value whenever the timeline restarts. This patch makes it
perform the wrap around before emitting the new-frame signal so that
the elapsed time always corresponds to the time elapsed since the
timeline was started.
Additionally it no longer fudges the msecs_delta property to make the
marker check work so clutter_timeline_get_delta will always return the
wall clock time since the last frame.
The master clock now works fine whether or not there are any stages,
so in the timeline conformance tests don't need to set up their
own times.
Set CLUTTER_VBLANK=none for the conformance tests, which in addition
to removing an test-environment dependency, will result in the ticking
for timeline tests being throttled to the default frame rate.

Instead of calculating a delta in the master clock, and passing that
into each timeline, make each timeline individually responsible for
remembering the last time and computing the delta.
This:
- Fixes a problem where we could spin infinitely processing
timeline-only frames with < 1msec differences.
- Makes timelines consistently start timing on the first frame;
instead of doing different things for the first started timeline
and other timelines.
- Improves accuracy of elapsed time computations by avoiding

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 test was quiting after the 2nd frame but it should be the third frame because
the test doesn't actually check results until the third frame due to the workaround
for drivers with broken glReadPixels.
(When first written the test would have been verified with the
clutter_main_quit() commented out which gives visual feedback of what the
test does, so the off by one would have snuck in just before uncommenting
and pushing.)
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.
If it doesn't queue a redraw and allow the backend to clear and swap
the buffers then the results will be skewed because it is not
predictable when the driver will actually render the scene.
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.
cogl_enable_depth_test and cogl_enable_backface_culling have been renamed
and now have corresponding getters, the new functions are:
cogl_set_depth_test_enabled
cogl_get_depth_test_enabled
cogl_set_backface_culling_enabled
cogl_get_backface_culling_enabled
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 ()
Setting up layer combine functions and blend modes is very awkward to do
programatically. This adds a parser for string based descriptions which are
more consise and readable.
E.g. a material layer combine function could now be given as:
"RGBA = ADD (TEXTURE[A], PREVIOUS[RGB])"
or
"RGB = REPLACE (PREVIOUS)"
"A = MODULATE (PREVIOUS, TEXTURE)"
The simple syntax and grammar are only designed to expose standard fixed
function hardware, more advanced combining must be done with shaders.
This includes standalone documentation of blend strings covering the aspects
that are common to blending and texture combining, and adds documentation
with examples specific to the new cogl_material_set_blend() and
cogl_material_layer_set_combine() functions.
Note: The hope is to remove the now redundant bits of the material API
