First a few notes about Cogl coordinate systems: - Cogl defines the window origin, viewport origin and texture coordinates origin to be top left unlike OpenGL which defines them as bottom left. - Cogl defines the modelview and projection identity matrices in exactly the same way as OpenGL. - I.e. we believe that for 2D centric constructs: windows/framebuffers, viewports and textures developers are more used to dealing with a top left origin, but when modeling objects in 3D; an origin at the center with y going up is quite natural. The way Cogl handles textures is by uploading data upside down in OpenGL terms so that bottom left becomes top left. (Note: This also has the benefit that we don't need to flip the data we get from image decoding libraries since they typically also consider top left to be the image origin.) The viewport and window coords are mostly handled with various y = height - y tweaks before we pass y coordinates to OpenGL. Generally speaking though the handling of coordinate spaces in Cogl is a bit fragile. I guess partly because none of it was design to be, it just evolved from how Clutter defines its coordinates without much consideration or testing. I hope to improve this over a number of commits; starting here. This commit deals with the fact that offscreen draw buffers may be bound to textures but we don't "upload" the texture data upside down, and so if you texture from an offscreen draw buffer you need to manually flip the texture coordinates to get it the right way around. We now force offscreen rendering to be flipped upside down by tweaking the projection matrix right before we submit it to OpenGL to scale y by -1. The tweak is entirely hidden from the user such that if you call cogl_get_projection you will not see this scale. |
