With the recent change to internal floating point values, ClutterUnit
has become a redundant type, defined to be a float. All integer entry
points are being internally converted to floating point values to be
passed to the GL pipeline with the least amount of conversion.
ClutterUnit is thus exposed as just a "pixel with fractionary bits",
and not -- as users might think -- as generic, resolution and device
independent units. not that it was the case, but a definitive amount
of people was convinced it did provide this "feature", and was flummoxed
about the mere existence of this type.
So, having ClutterUnit exposed in the public API doubles the entry
points and has the following disadvantages:
- we have to maintain twice the amount of entry points in ClutterActor
- we still do an integer-to-float implicit conversion
- we introduce a weird impedance between pixels and "pixels with
fractionary bits"
- language bindings will have to choose what to bind, and resort
to manually overriding the API
+ *except* for language bindings based on GObject-Introspection, as
they cannot do manual overrides, thus will replicate the entire
set of entry points
For these reason, we should coalesces every Actor entry point for
pixels and for ClutterUnit into a single entry point taking a float,
like:
void clutter_actor_set_x (ClutterActor *self,
gfloat x);
void clutter_actor_get_size (ClutterActor *self,
gfloat *width,
gfloat *height);
gfloat clutter_actor_get_height (ClutterActor *self);
etc.
The issues I have identified are:
- we'll have a two cases of compiler warnings:
- printf() format of the return values from %d to %f
- clutter_actor_get_size() taking floats instead of unsigned ints
- we'll have a problem with varargs when passing an integer instead
of a floating point value, except on 64bit platforms where the
size of a float is the same as the size of an int
To be clear: the *intent* of the API should not change -- we still use
pixels everywhere -- but:
- we remove ambiguity in the API with regard to pixels and units
- we remove entry points we get to maintain for the whole 1.0
version of the API
- we make things simpler to bind for both manual language bindings
and automatic (gobject-introspection based) ones
- we have the simplest API possible while still exposing the
capabilities of the underlying GL implementation
The flags field of ClutterActor should have accessor methods for,
language bindings.
Also, the set_flags() and unset_flags() methods should actively
emit notifications for the changed properties.
With the introduction of the map/unmap flags and the split of the
visible state from the mapped state we require that every part of
a scene graph branch is mapped in order to be painted. This breaks
the ability of a ClutterClone to paint an hidden source actor.
In order to fix this we need to introduce an override flag, similar
in spirit to the current modelview and paint opacity overrides that
Clone is already using.
The override flag, when set, will force a temporary map on a
Clone source (and its children).
ClutterContainer provides a foreach_with_internals() vfunc for
iterating over all of a container's children, be them added using
the Container API or be them internal to the container itself.
We should be using the foreach_with_internals() function instead
of the plain foreach().

Bug 1138 - No trackable "mapped" state
* Add a VISIBLE flag tracking application programmer's
expected showing-state for the actor, allowing us to
always ensure we keep what the app wants while tracking
internal implementation state separately.
* Make MAPPED reflect whether the actor will be painted;
add notification on a ClutterActor::mapped property.
Keep MAPPED state updated as the actor is shown,
ancestors are shown, actor is reparented, etc.
* Require a stage and realized parents to realize; this means
at realization time the correct window system and GL resources
are known. But unparented actors can no longer be realized.
* Allow children to be unrealized even if parent is realized.
Otherwise in effect either all actors or no actors are realized,
i.e. it becomes a stage-global flag.
* Allow clutter_actor_realize() to "fail" if not inside a toplevel
* Rework clutter_actor_unrealize() so internally we have
a flavor that does not mess with visibility flag
* Add _clutter_actor_rerealize() to encapsulate a somewhat
tricky operation we were doing in a couple of places
* Do not realize/unrealize children in ClutterGroup,
ClutterActor already does it
* Do not realize impl by hand in clutter_stage_show(),
since showing impl already does that
* Do not unrealize in various dispose() methods, since
ClutterActor dispose implementation already does it
and chaining up is mandatory
* ClutterTexture uses COGL while unrealizable (before it's
added to a stage). Previously this breakage was affecting
ClutterActor because we had to allow realize outside
a stage. Move the breakage to ClutterTexture, by making
ClutterTexture just use COGL while not realized.
* Unrealize before we set parent to NULL in clutter_actor_unparent().
This means unrealize() implementations can get to the stage.
Because actors need the stage in order to detach from stage.
* Update clutter-actor-invariants.txt to reflect latest changes
* Remove explicit hide/unrealize from ClutterActor::dispose since
unparent already forces those
Instead just assert that unparent() occurred and did the right thing.
* Check whether parent implements unrealize before chaining up
Needed because ClutterGroup no longer has to implement unrealize.
* Perform unrealize in the default handler for the signal.
This allows non-containers that have children to work properly,
and allows containers to override how it's done.
* Add map/unmap virtual methods and set MAPPED flag on self and
children in there. This allows subclasses to hook map/unmap.
These are not signals, because notify::mapped is better for
anything it's legitimate for a non-subclass to do.

If we need to check that the layout sequence is correct in
terms of order of execution and with respect to caching, then
having a CLUTTER_DEBUG_LAYOUT debug flag would make things
easier.
Clutter was complaining about netural width smaller than minimum widths
(differences around 0.0005) by using an epsilon value of 1e-4 for these
floating point comparisons, these warnings have now been silenced.

A common use of setting clip is to keep an actor inside its allocation;
right now to do this you have to set up a callback on notify::allocation.
There's no overhead added by sticking another bit in ClutterActor
clip-to-allocation that will clip painting to the allocation if set.

Bug 1499 - clutter_actor_notify_if_geometry_changed causes sync
layout cycles
Whenever clutter_actor_set_{width,height,x,y,size...} is used, extra
synchronous size requests are triggered in
clutter_actor_notify_if_geometry_changed.
If the get_preferred_width() and get_preferred_height() implementations
are particularly costly (e.g. ClutterText) this will result in a performance
impact.
To avoid excessive allocation or requisition cycles we use the
cached values and flags. If we don't have an allocation, we assume
that we need to notify all the properties; if we don't have a size
requisition we notify only width and height; finally, if we do have
a valid allocation we notify only on the changed values.
Add missing (out) annotations to the doc comments for ClutterActor methods
with multiple return values.

The ClutterFixed type and symbols are now equivalent to the native
float type. In order to remove ambiguity and clean up the code, any
usage of ClutterFixed and relative macros has been removed.
Since the CoglMatrix type was added for supporting texture matrices recently
it made sense to be consistent accross the Cogl API and use the Cogl type
over the GL style GLfloat m[16] arrays.
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".

Bug 1167 - clutter_effect_rotate improperly clamps negative angles
The rotation angle properties had a minimum value of 0.0 but the
rotation works fine with a negative value so the limitation is
unnecessary. This makes rotation using the ClutterAnimation API more
flexible because it was previously not possible to rotate
counter-clockwise from the 0.0 position.
When rendering a clone before this commit the clone's opacity was
combined with the opacity of the source but this is not usually the
desired effect. Instead the clone's opacity (combined with its
parents) should completely override the opacity of the source.
The current code that handles the invariant that the new parent
of an actor needing a layout should also be queued for relayout
is hitting the short-circuiting we do in the queue_relayout()
method.
In order to fix this we can forcibly set the actor to need a
width/height request and an allocation; then we queue a relayout
on the parent.

Final bit of integration between ClutterActor and Pango: a simple
method for creating a PangoLayout, pre-filled with text and ready
to be rendered using cogl_pango_render_layout().
This should make writing new Actors rendering custom text in their
paint() implementation easy and reliable.
Bug 1349 - Using the anchor point to set the scale center is messy
The branch adds an extra center point for scaling which can be used
for example to set a scale about the center without affecting the
position of the actor.
The scale center can be specified as a unit offset from the origin or
as a gravity. If specified as a gravity it will be stored as a
fraction of the actor's size so that the position will track when the
actor changes size.
The anchor point and rotation centers have been modified so they can
be set with a gravity in the same way. However, only the Z rotation
exposes a property to set using a gravity because the other two
require a Z coordinate which doesn't make sense to interpret as a
fraction of the actor's width or height.

The documentation has been updated to reflect the fact that the anchor
point will move when the actor changes size if it was specified using
a gravity value. The new functions for setting the scale center and z
rotation gravity are also documented.
Currently only the Z axis rotation center can be set using a gravity
but the other rotations also store their center as an AnchorCoord for
consistency. Specifying the center as a gravity makes less sense for
the other axes because the actors have no size along the Z axis.
The rotation angles are now stored as gdoubles and the fixed point *x
entry points have been removed.
The Z rotation can now be set with a gravity center using the
following new function:
void clutter_actor_set_z_rotation_from_gravity (ClutterActor *self,
gdouble angle,
ClutterGravity gravity);
This sets the center point from which the scaling will occur. This can
be used insetad of the anchor point to avoid moving the actor. Like
the anchor point, it can be specified as either a coordinate in units
or a gravity enum.
To set the center you can use two new variants of set_scale:
clutter_actor_set_scale_full (ClutterActor *self,
gdouble scale_x,
gdouble scale_y,
int center_x,
int center_y);
or
clutter_actor_set_scale_with_gravity (ClutterActor *self,
gdouble scale_x,
gdouble scale_y,
ClutterGravity gravity);
The ClutterFixed variants of the set_scale functions have been removed
and the scale value is now always stored as a double.
This makes it so when the anchor point is set using a gravity enum
then the anchor point moves when the actor changes size. A new
property is added for the anchor point gravity. If the anchor point is
set from gravity then the position in units can also be retreived with
the regular API.
A new union type is used to store the anchor point with helper
accessor functions. The hope is these can be reused for the scale and
rotation center points.
Since we allow overriding the paint() implementation through the
::paint signal to change the way an actor is being painted, we
should also allow overriding the pick() implementation using a
::pick signal.
Since a pick is really a paint operation, we can safely get
the allocation box, instead of using get_width() and get_height().
This should help cutting down the function calls. If we were
feeling adventurous, we could even use the allocation directly
from the private data structure.
Based on a patch by Gwenole Beauchesne <gbeauchesne@splitted-desktop.org>
If an actor is not set as visible, or if it is in a section of
the scenegraph that it's set as not visible (e.g. one of the
parents is not visible) then we should not queue a redraw for
it.
Patch based on code from Michael Boccara <michael@graphtech.co.il>
The stage-with/height-percentage converters had been broken by
the multiple-stages support of Clutter 0.8. They are also made
useless by the fact that Units are now floating point values.
The millimeters and typographic points converters also depended
on the default stage, but they can be reworked to use the default
DPI coming from the default Backend instead.
To deal with all the corner cases that couldn't be scripted a number of patches
were written for the remaining 10% of the effort.
Note: again no API changes were made in Clutter, only in Cogl.
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.
Many use cases for clonning an actor don't require running a shader on the
resulting clone image and so requiring FBOs in these cases is overkill and
in-efficient as it requires kicking and synchronizing a render for each clone.
This approach basically just uses the paint function of another actor to
implement the painting for the clone actor with some fiddling of the model-
view matrix to scale according to the different allocation box sizes of
each of the actors.
A simple unit test called test-actors2 was added for testing.
ClutterUnits should not be used interchangeably as, or with
ClutterFixed values. ClutterUnits should also not be assumed
to be integers.
This commit fixes the last few improper usages of ClutterUnit
values, and adds a CLUTTER_UNITS_FORMAT macro for safely printing
ClutterUnit values with printf().

Sometimes an actor needs to set specific font rendering options on
the PangoContext without changing settings for every other text-rendering
actor.
In order to do this, we need a new public method to create a Pango
context object -- preset with all the default settings -- owned by the
developer and not shared with the rest of Clutter.
This new method is called clutter_actor_create_pango_context(); while
it does not strictly depend on a ClutterActor, it is a good idea to
have it inside the ClutterActor API to map the current get_pango_context()
method and in case we start storing screen-specific data to the Actor
itself during the 1.x API cycle.
Bug 1392 - behaviour_set_alpha set same alpha twice lead to warning
and destroy the input alpha
The following functions are fixed:
clutter_actor_set_shader
clutter_alpha_set_timeline
clutter_behaviour_set_alpha
clutter_clone_texture_set_parent_texture
They either now reference the new value before destroying the old
value, or just return immediately if the values are the same.
* units-rework:
[texture] Do not mix fixed point and units values

[units] Do not use fixed point and units interchangeably
The PangoContext should be stored once, and inside the main
Clutter context. Each actor for which clutter_actor_get_pango_context()
has been called will hold a reference on the Pango context as well.
This makes it possible to update the text rendering for Clutter
by using only public API.
