This is really useful when trying to animate GTypes that haven't
registered any progress function. Instead of silently not working it
will warn the developer.
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1845
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.
Add annotations such as (transfer-none) (out) (element-type ClutterActor),
and so forth to the doc comments as appropriate.
The annotations added here are a combination of the annotations previously
in gir-repository for Clutter and annotations found in a review of all
return values with that were being parsed with a transfer of "full".

* float-alpha-value:
[script] Parse easing modes by name
[docs] Update the easing modes documentation
[animation] Implement new easing functions
[animation] Move the alpha value to floating point
The current Alpha value is an unsigned integer that can be used
implicitly as a fixed point value. This makes writing an alpha
function overshooting below and above the current range basically
impossible without complicating an already complex code, and
creating weird corner cases.
For this reason, the Alpha value should be defined as a floating
point normalized value, spanning a range between 0.0 and 1.0; in
order to allow overshooting, the valid range is extended one unit
below and one unit above, thus making it -1.0 .. 2.0.
This commit updates the various users of the ClutterAlpha API
and the tests cases.
This commit also removes all the current alpha functions exposed
in the public API.
This is the result of running a number of sed and perl scripts over the code to
do 90% of the work in converting from 16.16 fixed to single precision floating
point.
Note: A pristine cogl-fixed.c has been maintained as a standalone utility API
so that applications may still take advantage of fixed point if they
desire for certain optimisations where lower precision may be acceptable.
Note: no API changes were made in Clutter, only in Cogl.
Overview of changes:
- Within clutter/* all usage of the COGL_FIXED_ macros have been changed to use
the CLUTTER_FIXED_ macros.
- Within cogl/* all usage of the COGL_FIXED_ macros have been completly stripped
and expanded into code that works with single precision floats instead.
- Uses of cogl_fixed_* have been replaced with single precision math.h
alternatives.
- Uses of COGL_ANGLE_* and cogl_angle_* have been replaced so we use a float for
angles and math.h replacements.
A ClutterInterval can change the way the progress is computed
by subclassing and overriding the ::compute_value() virtual function.
It should also be possible to register a custom progress function
in the same way it is possible to register a custom transformation
function between two GValues.
This commit adds an internal, global hash table that maintains a
GType <-> progress function association; each ClutterInterval
will check if there is a progress function registered for the
GType of the initial and final values of the interval and, if
it has been found, it will call it to compute the value of the
interval depending on the progress factor.
If the computation of the interval value depending on the progress
was not successful, ClutterInterval::compute_value() should return
this information to the caller.
The patch makes it cast to double before subtracting the original
value from the target value. Otherwise if the target value is less
than the original value then the subtraction will overflow and the
factor will be multiplied by a very large number instead of the
desired interval.
The problem is demonstrable using the border-width property of
ClutterRectangle.
Bug 1014 - Clutter Animation API Improvements
* clutter/Makefile.am:
* clutter/clutter.h: Update the build
* clutter/clutter-types.h: Add AnimationMode, an enumeration
for easing functions.
* clutter/clutter-alpha.[ch]: Add the :mode property to
control the function bound to an Alpha instance using an
enumeration value. Also add six new alpha functions:
- ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out
- sine-in, sine-out, sine-in-out
* clutter/clutter-deprecated.h: Deprecate the #defines for
the alpha functions. They will be replaced by entries in the
ClutterAnimationMode.
* clutter/clutter-interval.[ch]: Add ClutterInterval, an
object for defining, validating and computing an interval
between two values.
* clutter/clutter-animation.[ch]: Add ClutterAnimation, an
object responsible for animation the properties of a single
actor along an interval of values. ClutterAnimation memory
management is automatic. A simple wrapper method for
ClutterActor is provided:
clutter_actor_animate()
which will create, or update, an animation for the passed
actor.
* clutter/clutter-debug.h:
* clutter/clutter-main.c: Add a new 'animation' debug note.
* clutter/clutter-script.c: Clean up the alpha functions
whitelist, and add the new functions.
* doc/reference/clutter/Makefile.am:
* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-sections.txt: Update the
API reference.
* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation.xml: Renamed to
doc/reference/clutter/clutter-animation-tutorial.xml to
avoid clashes with the ClutterAnimation section.
* doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.sgml: Renamed to
doc/reference/clutter/clutter-docs.xml, as it was an XML
file and not a SGML file.
* tests/Makefile.am:
* tests/interactive/Makefile.am:
* tests/interactive/test-animation.c:
* tests/interactive/test-easing.c: Add two tests for the
new simple animation API and the easing functions.
* tests/interactive/test-actors.c:
* tests/interactive/test-behave.c:
* tests/interactive/test-depth.c:
* tests/interactive/test-effects.c:
* tests/interactive/test-layout.c:
* tests/interactive/test-multistage.c:
* tests/interactive/test-paint-wrapper.c:
* tests/interactive/test-rotate.c:
* tests/interactive/test-scale.c:
* tests/interactive/test-texture-quality.c:
* tests/interactive/test-threads.c:
* tests/interactive/test-viewport.c: Update interactive tests
to the deprecations and new alpha API.
