/**
* SECTION:cogl-matrix-stack
* @short_description: Functions for efficiently tracking many
* related transformations
*
* Matrices can be used (for example) to describe the model-view
* transforms of objects, texture transforms, and projective
* transforms.
*
* The #CoglMatrix api provides a good way to manipulate individual
* matrices representing a single transformation but if you need to
* track many-many such transformations for many objects that are
* organized in a scenegraph for example then using a separate
* #CoglMatrix for each object may not be the most efficient way.
*
* A #CoglMatrixStack enables applications to track lots of
* transformations that are related to each other in some kind of
* hierarchy. In a scenegraph for example if you want to know how to
* transform a particular node then you usually have to walk up
* through the ancestors and accumulate their transforms before
* finally applying the transform of the node itself. In this model
* things are grouped together spatially according to their ancestry
* and all siblings with the same parent share the same initial
* transformation. The #CoglMatrixStack API is suited to tracking lots
* of transformations that fit this kind of model.
*
* Compared to using the #CoglMatrix api directly to track many
* related transforms, these can be some advantages to using a
* #CoglMatrixStack:
* <itemizedlist>
* <listitem>Faster equality comparisons of transformations</listitem>
* <listitem>Efficient comparisons of the differences between arbitrary
* transformations</listitem>
* <listitem>Avoid redundant arithmetic related to common transforms
* </listitem>
* <listitem>Can be more space efficient (not always though)</listitem>
* </itemizedlist>
*
* For reference (to give an idea of when a #CoglMatrixStack can
* provide a space saving) a #CoglMatrix can be expected to take 72
* bytes whereas a single #CoglMatrixEntry in a #CoglMatrixStack is
* currently around 32 bytes on a 32bit CPU or 36 bytes on a 64bit
* CPU. An entry is needed for each individual operation applied to
* the stack (such as rotate, scale, translate) so if most of your
* leaf node transformations only need one or two simple operations
* relative to their parent then a matrix stack will likely take less
* space than having a #CoglMatrix for each node.
*
* Even without any space saving though the ability to perform fast
* comparisons and avoid redundant arithmetic (especially sine and
* cosine calculations for rotations) can make using a matrix stack
* worthwhile.

/**
* CoglMatrixStack:
*
* Tracks your current position within a hierarchy and lets you build
* up a graph of transformations as you traverse through a hierarchy
* such as a scenegraph.
*
* A #CoglMatrixStack always maintains a reference to a single
* transformation at any point in time, representing the
* transformation at the current position in the hierarchy. You can
* get a reference to the current transformation by calling
* cogl_matrix_stack_get_entry().
*
* When a #CoglMatrixStack is first created with
* cogl_matrix_stack_new() then it is conceptually positioned at the
* root of your hierarchy and the current transformation simply
* represents an identity transformation.
*
* As you traverse your object hierarchy (your scenegraph) then you
* should call cogl_matrix_stack_push() whenever you move down one
* level and call cogl_matrix_stack_pop() whenever you move back up
* one level towards the root.
*
* At any time you can apply a set of operations, such as "rotate",
* "scale", "translate" on top of the current transformation of a
* #CoglMatrixStack using functions such as
* cogl_matrix_stack_rotate(), cogl_matrix_stack_scale() and
* cogl_matrix_stack_translate(). These operations will derive a new
* current transformation and will never affect a transformation
* that you have referenced using cogl_matrix_stack_get_entry().
*
* Internally applying operations to a #CoglMatrixStack builds up a
* graph of #CoglMatrixEntry structures which each represent a single
* immutable transform.
*/

/**
* CoglMatrixEntry:
*
* Represents a single immutable transformation that was retrieved
* from a #CoglMatrixStack using cogl_matrix_stack_get_entry().
*
* Internally a #CoglMatrixEntry represents a single matrix
* operation (such as "rotate", "scale", "translate") which is applied
* to the transform of a single parent entry.
*
* Using the #CoglMatrixStack api effectively builds up a graph of
* these immutable #CoglMatrixEntry structures whereby operations
* that can be shared between multiple transformations will result
* in shared #CoglMatrixEntry nodes in the graph.
*
* When a #CoglMatrixStack is first created it references one
* #CoglMatrixEntry that represents a single "load identity"
* operation. This serves as the root entry and all operations
* that are then applied to the stack will extend the graph
* starting from this root "load identity" entry.
*
* Given the typical usage model for a #CoglMatrixStack and the way
* the entries are built up while traversing a scenegraph then in most
* cases where an application is interested in comparing two
* transformations for equality then it is enough to simply compare
* two #CoglMatrixEntry pointers directly. Technically this can lead
* to false negatives that could be identified with a deeper
* comparison but often these false negatives are unlikely and
* don't matter anyway so this enables extremely cheap comparisons.
