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.
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cogl_shader_get_parameteriv has been replaced by cogl_shader_get_type and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.
Adds missing notices, and ensures all the notices are consistent. The Cogl
blurb also now reads:
* Cogl
*
* An object oriented GL/GLES Abstraction/Utility Layer
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.
None of this code directly related to implementing CoglTextures, and the
code was needlessly duplicated between the GL and GLES backends. This moves
the cogl_rectangle* and cogl_polygon* code into common/cogl-primitives.c
makes which makes lot of sense since the two copies keep needlessly
diverging introducing or fixing bugs in one but not the other. For instance
I came accross one such bug regarding the enabling of texture units when
unifying the code.
This glues CoglMaterial in as the fundamental way that Cogl describes how to
fill in geometry.
It adds cogl_set_source (), which is used to set the material which will be
used by all subsequent drawing functions
It adds cogl_set_source_texture as a convenience for setting up a default
material with a single texture layer, and cogl_set_source_color is now also
a convenience for setting up a material with a solid fill.
"drawing functions" include, cogl_rectangle, cogl_texture_rectangle,
cogl_texture_multiple_rectangles, cogl_texture_polygon (though the
cogl_texture_* funcs have been renamed; see below for details),
cogl_path_fill/stroke and cogl_vertex_buffer_draw*.
cogl_texture_rectangle, cogl_texture_multiple_rectangles and
cogl_texture_polygon no longer take a texture handle; instead the current
source material is referenced. The functions have also been renamed to:
cogl_rectangle_with_texture_coords, cogl_rectangles_with_texture_coords
and cogl_polygon respectivly.
Most code that previously did:
cogl_texture_rectangle (tex_handle, x, y,...);
needs to be changed to now do:
cogl_set_source_texture (tex_handle);
cogl_rectangle_with_texture_coords (x, y,....);
In the less likely case where you were blending your source texture with a color
like:
cogl_set_source_color4ub (r,g,b,a); /* where r,g,b,a isn't just white */
cogl_texture_rectangle (tex_handle, x, y,...);
you will need your own material to do that:
mat = cogl_material_new ();
cogl_material_set_color4ub (r,g,b,a);
cogl_material_set_layer (mat, 0, tex_handle));
cogl_set_source_material (mat);
Code that uses the texture coordinates, 0, 0, 1, 1 don't need to use
cog_rectangle_with_texure_coords since these are the coordinates that
cogl_rectangle will use.
For cogl_texture_polygon; as well as dropping the texture handle, the
n_vertices and vertices arguments were transposed for consistency. So
code previously written as:
cogl_texture_polygon (tex_handle, 3, verts, TRUE);
need to be written as:
cogl_set_source_texture (tex_handle);
cogl_polygon (verts, 3, TRUE);
All of the unit tests have been updated to now use the material API and
test-cogl-material has been renamed to test-cogl-multitexture since any
textured quad is now technically a test of CoglMaterial but this test
specifically creates a material with multiple texture layers.
Note: The GLES backend has not been updated yet; that will be done in a
following commit.
My previous work to provide muti-texturing support has been extended into
a CoglMaterial abstraction that adds control over the texture combine
functions (controlling how multiple texture layers are blended together),
the gl blend function (used for blending the final primitive with the
framebuffer), the alpha function (used to discard fragments based on
their alpha channel), describing attributes such as a diffuse, ambient and
specular color (for use with the standard OpenGL lighting model), and
per layer rotations. (utilizing the new CoglMatrix utility API)
For now the only way this abstraction is exposed is via a new
cogl_material_rectangle function, that is similar to cogl_texture_rectangle
but doesn't take a texture handle (the source material is pulled from
the context), and the array of texture coordinates is extended to be able
to supply coordinates for each layer.
Note: this function doesn't support sliced textures; supporting sliced
textures is a non trivial problem, considering the ability to rotate layers.
Note: cogl_material_rectangle, has quite a few workarounds, for a number of
other limitations within Cogl a.t.m.
Note: The GLES1/2 multi-texturing support has yet to be updated to use
the material abstraction.
Multitexturing allows blending multiple layers of texture data when texturing
some geometry. A common use is for pre-baked light maps which can give nice
lighting effects relativly cheaply. Another is for dot-3 bump mapping, and
another is applying alpha channel masks.
The dot-3 bump mapping would be really nice one day, but currently cogl doesn't
support lighting so that's not dealt with in this patch.
notable limitations:
- It can only texture rectangles a.t.m - and like cogl_texture_rectangle there
is no support for rotated texturing.
- Sliced textures are not supported. I think I've figured out how to handle
layers with different slice sizes at least for rectangular geometry, but I'm
not sure how complex it becomes once rotations are possible and texturing
arbitrary cogl_polygons.
- Except for this new API, cogl still doesn't know about more than one texture
unit, and so has no way of caching any enables related to other units. So that
things don't break it's currently necessary to disable anything to do with
additional units as soon as we are done with them which isn't ideal.
- No clutter API yet.
