With the atlas texture backend ensuring the mipmaps can make it become
a completely different texture which will have different texture
coordinates or may even be sliced. Therefore we need to ensure the
mipmaps before deciding which quads to log in the journal. This adds a
new private function to cogl-material which ensures the mipmaps if
needed.
The sub texture backend doesn't work well as a completely general
texture backend because for example when rendering with cogl_polygon
it needs to be able to tranform arbitrary texture coordinates without
reference to the other coordintes. This can't be done when the texture
coordinates are a multiple of one because sometimes the coordinate
should represent the left or top edge and sometimes it should
represent the bottom or top edge. For example if the s coordinates are
0 and 1 then 1 represents the right edge but if they are 1 and 2 then
1 represents the left edge.
Instead the sub-textures are now documented not to support coordinates
outside the range [0,1]. The coordinates for the sub-region are now
represented as integers as this helps avoid rounding issues. The
region can no longer be a super-region of the texture as this
simplifies the code quite a lot.
There are two new texture virtual functions:
transform_quad_coords_to_gl - This transforms two pairs of coordinates
representing a quad. It will return FALSE if the coordinates can
not be transformed. The sub texture backend uses this to detect
coordinates that require repeating which causes cogl-primitives
to use manual repeating.
ensure_non_quad_rendering - This is used in cogl_polygon and
cogl_vertex_buffer to inform the texture backend that
transform_quad_to_gl is going to be used. The atlas backend
migrates the texture out of the atlas when it hits this.
When calculating the next integer position for negative coordinates it
would not increment if the position is already a multiple of one so we
need to manually add one.
When try_creating_fbo fails it returns 0 to report the error and if it
succeeds it returns ‘flags’. However cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture
also passes in 0 for the flags as the last fallback to create the fbo
with nothing but the color buffer. In that case it will return 0
regardless of whether it succeeded so the last fallback will always be
considered a failure.
To fix this it now just returns a gboolean to indicate whether it
succeeded and the flags used for each attempt is assigned when passing
the argument rather than from the return value of the function.
Also if the only configuration that succeeded was with flags==0 then
it would always try all combinations because last_working_flags would
also be zero. To avoid this it now uses a separate gboolean to mark
whether we found a successful set of flags.

Since 755cce33a7 the framebuffer code is using the GL enums
GL_DEPTH_ATTACHMENT and GL_DEPTH_COMPONENT16. These aren't available
directly under GLES except with the OES suffix so we need to define
them manually as we do with the other framebuffer constants.
These macros used to define Cogl wrappers for the GLenum values. There are
now Cogl enums everywhere in the API where these were required so we
shouldn't need them anymore. They were in the public headers but as
they are not neccessary and were not in the API docs for Clutter 1.0
it should be safe to remove them.
If a user supplied multiple groups of texture coordinates with
cogl_rectangle_with_multitexture_coords() then we would repeatedly log only
the first group in the journal. This fixes that bug and adds a conformance
test to verify the fix.
Thanks to Gord Allott for reporting this bug.
The Intel drivers in Mesa 7.6 (and possibly earlier versions) don't
support creating FBOs with a stencil buffer but without a depth
buffer. This reworks framebuffer allocation so that we try a number
of fallback options before failing.
The options we try in order are:
- the same options that were sucessful last time if available
- combined depth and stencil
- separate depth and stencil
- just stencil, no depth
- just depth, no stencil
- neither depth or stencil
We weren't taking a reference on the texture to be used as the color buffer
for offscreen rendering, so it was possible to free the texture leaving the
framebuffer in an inconsistent state.
This adds gives Cogl a dedicated UProf context which will be linked together
with Clutter's context during clutter_init_real().
Initial timers cover _cogl_journal_flush and _cogl_journal_log_quad
You can explicitly ask for a report of Cogl statistics by exporting
COGL_PROFILE_OUTPUT_REPORT=1 but since the context is linked with Clutter's
the statisitcs will also be shown in the automatic Clutter reports.

When the texture is in the atlas, ensuring the mipmaps can effectively
make it become a completely different texture so we should do this
before getting the GL handle.
Mipmaps don't work very well in the current atlas because there is not
enough padding between the textures. If ensure_mipmaps is called it
will now create a new texture and migrate the atlased texture to
it. It will use the same blit mechanism as when migrating so it will
try to use an FBO for a fast blit. However if this is not possible it
will end up downloading the data for the entire atlas which is not
ideal.
When reorganizing the textures, we can avoid downloading the entire
texture data if we bind the source texture in a framebuffer object and
copy the destination using glCopyTexSubImage2D. This is also
implemented using a much faster path in Mesa.
Currently it is calling the GL framebuffer API directly but ideally it
would use the Cogl offscreen API. However there is no way to tell Cogl
not to create a stencil renderbuffer which seems like a waste in this
situation.
If FBOs are not available it will fallback to reading back the entire
texture data as before.
This adds a 'dump-atlas-image' debug category. When enabled, CoglAtlas
will use Cairo to create a png which visualizes the leaf rectangles of
the atlas.
This adds an 'atlas' category to the COGL_DEBUG environment
variable. When enabled Cogl will display messages when textures are
added to the atlas and when the atlas is reorganized.
When space can't be found in the atlas for a new texture it will now
try to reorganize the atlas to make space. A new CoglAtlas is created
and all of the textures are readded in decreasing size order. If the
textures still don't fit then the size of the atlas is doubled until
either we find a space or we reach the texture size limits. If we
successfully find an organization that fits then all of the textures
will be migrated to a new texture. This involves copying the texture
data into CPU memory and then uploading it again. Potentially it could
eventually use a PBO or an FBO to transfer the image without going
through the CPU.
The algorithm for laying out the textures works a lot better if the
rectangles are added in order so we might eventually want some API for
creating multiple textures in one go to avoid reorganizing the atlas
as far as possible.
This adds a CoglAtlas type which is a data structure that keeps track
of unused sub rectangles of a larger rectangle. There is a new atlased
texture backend which uses this to put multiple textures into a single
larger texture.
Currently the atlas is always sized 256x256 and the textures are never
moved once they are put in. Eventually it needs to be able to
reorganise the atlas and grow it if necessary. It also needs to
migrate the textures out of the atlas if mipmaps are required.
This is an optimised version of CoglTexture2DSliced that always deals
with a single texture and always uses the GL_TEXTURE_2D
target. cogl_texture_new_from_bitmap now tries to use this backend
first. If it can't create a texture with that size then it falls back
the sliced backend.
cogl_texture_upload_data_prepare has been split into two functions
because the sliced backend needs to know the real internal format
before the conversion is performed. Otherwise the converted bitmap
will be wasted if the backend can't support the size.
This provides a way to upload the entire data for a texture without
having to first call glTexImage and then glTexSubImage. This should be
faster especially with indirect rendering where it would needlessy
send the data for the texture twice.
new_from_data and new_from_file can be implemented in terms of
new_from_bitmap so it makes sense to move these to cogl-texture rather
than having to implement them in every texture backend.
This adds a new texture backend which represents a sub texture of a
larger texture. The texture is created with a reference to the full
texture and a set of coordinates describing the region. The backend
simply defers to the full texture for all operations and maps the
coordinates to the other range. You can also use coordinates outside
the range [0,1] to create a repeated version of the full texture.
A new public API function called cogl_texture_new_from_sub_texture is
available to create the sub texture.
The CoglTextureSliceCallback function pointer now takes const pointers
for the texture coordinates. This makes it clearer that the callback
should not modify the array and therefore the backend can use the same
array for both sets of coords.
Given a region of texture coordinates this utility invokes a callback
enough times to cover the region with a subregion that spans the
texture at most once. Eg, if called with tx1 and tx2 as 0.5 and 3.0 it
it would invoke the callback with:
0.5,1.0 1.0,2.0 2.0,3.0
Manual repeating is needed by all texture backends regardless of
whether they can support hardware repeating because when Cogl calls
the foreach_sub_texture_in_region method then it sets the wrap mode to
GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE and no hardware repeating is possible.
In _cogl_multitexture_quad_single_primitive we use a wrap mode of
GL_CLAMP_TO_EDGE if the texture coordinates are all in the range [0,1]
or GL_REPEAT otherwise. This is to avoid pulling in pixels from either
side when using GL_LINEAR filter mode and rendering the entire
texture. Previously it was checking using the unconverted texture
coordinates. This is ok unless the texture backend is radically
transforming the texture coordinates, such as in the sub texture
backend where the coordinates may map to something completely
different. We now check whether the coordinates are in range after
converting them.
Most of the fields that were previously in CoglTexture are specific to
the implementation of CoglTexture2DSliced so they should be placed
there instead. For example, the 'mipmaps_dirty' flag is an
implementation detail of the ensure_mipmaps function so it doesn't
make sense to force all texture backends to have this function.
Other fields such as width, height, gl_format and format may make
sense for all textures but I've added them as virtual functions
instead. This may make more sense for a sub-texture backend for
example where it can calculate these based on the full texture.
The CoglTexture struct previously contained some fields which are only
used to upload data such as the CoglBitmap and the source GL
format. These are now moved to a separate CoglTextureUploadData struct
which only exists for the duration of one of the cogl_texture_*_new
functions. In cogl-texture there are utility functions which operate
on this new struct rather than on CoglTexture directly.
Some of the fields that were previously stored in the CoglBitmap
struct are now copied to the CoglTexture such as the width, height,
format and internal GL format.
The rowstride was previously stored in CoglTexture and this was
publicly accessible with the cogl_texture_get_rowstride
function. However this doesn't seem to be a useful function because
there is no need to use the same rowstride again when uploading or
downloading new data. Instead cogl_texture_get_rowstride now just
calculates a suitable rowstride from the format and width of the
texture.
Commit 558b17ee1e added support for rectangle textures to the
framebuffer code. Under GLES there is no GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB
definition so this was breaking the build. The rest of Cogl uses
ifdef's around that constant so we should do the same here.
The correct blend function for the alpha channel is:
GL_ONE, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA
As per bug 1406. This fix was dropped when the switch to premultiplied
alpha was merged.
We currently enable blending if the material colour has
transparency. This patch makes it also enable blending if any of the
lighting colours have transparency. Arguably this isn't neccessary
because we don't expose any API to enable lighting so there is no
bug. However it is currently possible to enable lighting with a direct
call to glEnable and this otherwise works so it is a shame not to have
it.

cogl_push_draw_buffer, cogl_set_draw_buffer and cogl_pop_draw_buffer are now
deprecated and new code should use the new cogl_framebuffer_* API instead.
Code that previously did:
cogl_push_draw_buffer ();
cogl_set_draw_buffer (COGL_OFFSCREEN_BUFFER, buffer);
/* draw */
cogl_pop_draw_buffer ();
should now be re-written as:
cogl_push_framebuffer (buffer);
/* draw */
cogl_pop_framebuffer ();
As can be seen from the example above the rename has been used as an
opportunity to remove the redundant target argument from
cogl_set_draw_buffer; it now only takes one call to redirect to an offscreen
buffer, and finally the term framebuffer may be a bit more familiar to
anyone coming from an OpenGL background.
Instead of storing an enum with the backend type for each texture and
then using a switch statement to decide which function to call, we
should store pointers to all of the functions in a struct and have
each texture point to that struct. This is potentially slightly faster
when there are more backends and it makes implementing new backends
easier because it's more obvious which functions have to be
implemented.
cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture previously bailed out if the given texture's
GL target was anything but GL_TEXTURE_2D, but it now also allows
foreign GL_TEXTURE_RECTANGLE_ARB textures.

cogl_material_copy can be used to create a new CoglHandle referencing a copy
of some given material.
From now on we will advise that developers always aim to use this function
instead of cogl_material_new() when creating a material that is in any way
derived from another.
By using cogl_material_copy, Cogl can maintain an ancestry for each material
and keep track of "similar" materials. The plan is that Cogl will use this
information to minimize the cost of GPU state transitions.
