Previously the journal was always flushed at the end of
_cogl_rectangles_with_multitexture_coords, (i.e. the end of any
cogl_rectangle* calls) but now we have broadened the potential for batching
geometry. In ideal circumstances we will only flush once per scene.
In summary the journal works like this:
When you use any of the cogl_rectangle* APIs then nothing is emitted to the
GPU at this point, we just log one or more quads into the journal. A
journal entry consists of the quad coordinates, an associated material
reference, and a modelview matrix. Ideally the journal only gets flushed
once at the end of a scene, but in fact there are things to consider that
may cause unwanted flushing, including:
- modifying materials mid-scene
This is because each quad in the journal has an associated material
reference (i.e. not copy), so if you try and modify a material that is
already referenced in the journal we force a flush first)
NOTE: For now this means you should avoid using cogl_set_source_color()
since that currently uses a single shared material. Later we
should change it to use a pool of materials that is recycled
when the journal is flushed.
- modifying any state that isn't currently logged, such as depth, fog and
backface culling enables.
The first thing that happens when flushing, is to upload all the vertex data
associated with the journal into a single VBO.
We then go through a process of splitting up the journal into batches that
have compatible state so they can be emitted to the GPU together. This is
currently broken up into 3 levels so we can stagger the state changes:
1) we break the journal up according to changes in the number of material layers
associated with logged quads. The number of layers in a material determines
the stride of the associated vertices, so we have to update our vertex
array offsets at this level. (i.e. calling gl{Vertex,Color},Pointer etc)
2) we further split batches up according to material compatability. (e.g.
materials with different textures) We flush material state at this level.
3) Finally we split batches up according to modelview changes. At this level
we update the modelview matrix and actually emit the actual draw command.
This commit is largely about putting the initial design in-place; this will be
followed by other changes that take advantage of the extended batching.
Adds missing notices, and ensures all the notices are consistent. The Cogl
blurb also now reads:
* Cogl
*
* An object oriented GL/GLES Abstraction/Utility Layer
The Cogl primitives broke for GLES 1.1 and 2 after the cogl-float
branch merge.
CoglPathNode was still being declared as GLfixed for the GLES backend
but it was being filled with float values so they were all ending up
as numbers < 1.
glDrawArrays was being called with GL_FIXED so this has been changed
to GL_FLOAT.
The scanline rasterizer had a leftover hardcoded ClutterFixed constant
to add a small amount to the height of each line.
struct _CoglFloatVec2 has been removed because it is no longer used
anywhere.
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.

* clutter/cogl/gles/cogl-primitives.c: Changed the semantics of
cogl_path_move_to. Previously this always started a new path but
now it instead starts a new disjoint sub path. The path isn't
cleared until you call either cogl_path_stroke, cogl_path_fill or
cogl_path_new. There are also cogl_path_stroke_preserve and
cogl_path_fill_preserve functions.

* clutter/cogl/common/cogl-clip-stack.c:
* clutter/cogl/common/cogl-clip-stack.h: Simplified the clip
stack code quite a bit to make it more maintainable. Previously
whenever you added a new clip it would go through a separate route
to immediately intersect with the current clip and when you
removed it again it would immediately rebuild the entire clip. Now
when you add or remove a clip it doesn't do anything immediately
but just sets a dirty flag instead.
* clutter/cogl/gl/cogl.c:
* clutter/cogl/gles/cogl.c: Taken away the code to intersect
stencil clips when there is exactly one stencil bit. It won't work
with path clips and I don't know of any platform that doesn't have
eight or zero stencil bits. It needs at least three bits to
intersect a path with an existing clip. cogl_features_init now
just decides you don't have a stencil buffer at all if you have
less than three bits.
* clutter/cogl/cogl.h.in: New functions and documentation.
* tests/interactive/test-clip.c: Replaced with a different test
that lets you add and remove clips. The three different mouse
buttons add clips in different shapes. This makes it easier to
test multiple levels of clipping.
* tests/interactive/test-cogl-primitives.c: Use
cogl_path_stroke_preserve when using the same path again.
* doc/reference/cogl/cogl-sections.txt: Document the new
functions.
