The idea is that CoglPixelBuffer should just be a buffer that can be used for pixel data and it has no idea about the details of any images that are stored in it. This is analogous to CoglAttributeBuffer which itself does not have any information about the attributes. When you want to use a pixel buffer you should create a CoglBitmap which points to a region of the attribute buffer and provides the extra needed information such as the width, height and format. That way it is also possible to use a single CoglPixelBuffer with multiple bitmaps. The changes that are made are: • cogl_pixel_buffer_new_with_size has been removed and in its place is cogl_bitmap_new_with_size. This will create a pixel buffer at the right size and rowstride for the given width/height/format and immediately create a single CoglBitmap to point into it. The old function had an out-parameter for the stride of the image but with the new API this should be queriable from the bitmap (although there is no function for this yet). • There is now a public cogl_pixel_buffer_new constructor. This takes a size in bytes and data pointer similarly to cogl_attribute_buffer_new. • cogl_texture_new_from_buffer has been removed. If you want to create a texture from a pixel buffer you should wrap it up in a bitmap first. There is already API to create a texture from a bitmap. This patch also does a bit of header juggling because cogl-context.h was including cogl-texture.h and cogl-framebuffer.h which were causing some circular dependencies when cogl-bitmap.h includes cogl-context.h. These weren't actually needed in cogl-context.h itself but a few other headers were relying on them being included so this adds the #includes where necessary.

README for Cogl @COGL_1_VERSION@

DESCRIPTION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cogl is a small open source library for using 3D graphics hardware for
rendering. The API departs from the flat state machine style of OpenGL and is
designed to make it easy to write orthogonal components that can render without
stepping on each others toes.
As well as aiming for a nice API, we think having a single library as opposed
to an API specification like OpenGL has a few advantages too; like being
able to paper over the inconsistencies/bugs of different OpenGL
implementations in a centralized place, not to mention the myriad of OpenGL
extensions. It also means we are in a better position to provide utility
APIs that help software developers since they only need to be implemented
once and there is no risk of inconsistency between implementations.
Having other backends, besides OpenGL, such as drm, Gallium or D3D are
options we are interested in for the future.

REQUIREMENTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cogl currently only requires:
• GLib ≥ @GLIB_REQ_VERSION@
• OpenGL ≥ 1.3 (or 1.2 + multitexturing), or OpenGL ES 2.0 (or 1.1)
• GLX, AGL, WGL or an EGL implementation
Cogl also has optional dependencies:
• GDK-Pixbuf ≥ @GDK_PIXBUF_REQ_VERSION@
- for image loading
• Cairo ≥ @CAIRO_REQ_VERSION@
- for debugging texture atlasing (debug builds only)
The optional Cogl Pango library requires:
• Cairo ≥ @CAIRO_REQ_VERSION@
• PangoCairo ≥ @PANGOCAIRO_REQ_VERSION@
On X11, Cogl depends on the following extensions
• XComposite ≥ @XCOMPOSITE_REQ_VERSION@
• XDamage
• XExt
• XFixes ≥ @XFIXES_REQ_VERSION@
When running with OpenGL, Cogl requires at least version 1.3
or 1.2 with the multitexturing extension. However to build Cogl
you will need the latest GL headers which can be obtained from:
http://www.khronos.org
If you are building the API reference you will also need:
• GTK-Doc ≥ @GTK_DOC_REQ_VERSION@
If you are building the additional documentation you will also need:
• xsltproc
• jw (optional, for generating PDFs)
If you are building the Introspection data you will also need:
• GObject-Introspection ≥ @GI_REQ_VERSION@
GObject-Introspection is available from:
git://git.gnome.org/gobject-introspection
If you want support for profiling Cogl you will also need:
• UProf ≥ @UPROF_REQ_VERSION@
UProf is available from:
git://github.com/rib/UProf.git

DOCUMENTATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The API references for the latest stable release are available at:
http://docs.clutter-project.org/docs/cogl/stable/
The experimental 2.0 API can be found here:
http://docs.clutter-project.org/docs/cogl-2.0-experimental/stable/
Note: The confusing "stable" at the end refers to the overall Cogl release
status, not the documentation specifically.

BUILDING AND INSTALLATION
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please refer to the INSTALL document.
--
BUGS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please report bugs here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=cogl
You will need a Bugzilla account.
Please include the following in bug reports:
• what system you're running Cogl on;
• which version of Cogl you are using;
• which version of GLib and OpenGL (or OpenGL ES) you are using;
• which video card and which drivers you are using, including output of
glxinfo and xdpyinfo (if applicable);
• how to reproduce the bug.
If you cannot reproduce the bug with one of the tests that come with
Cogl's source code, it can help a lot to include a small test case
displaying the bad behaviour.
If the bug exposes a crash, the exact text printed out and a stack trace
obtained using gdb are greatly appreciated.

CONTRIBUTING
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The CODING_STYLE file describes the coding style we use throughout Cogl,
please try your best to conform to this style because the consistency
really helps keep the code maintainable.
We can accept contributions in several ways:
• Either as patches attached to bugs on bugzilla
- For this you may be interested in using git-bz.
See http://git.fishsoup.net/man/git-bz.html for details
• You can email us patches
- For this we recommend using git-send-email
• You can create a remote branch and ask us to pull from that for more
substantial changes.
- For this we recommend using github.
Ideally standalone patches should be created using git format-patch since
that makes it easiest to import the patch with a commit message into a
git repository.
