This fixes blurry text and icons whenever we apply shadows
in a hidpi window. Shadow nodes are the last ones that we
still use fallback for, and this was causing us to render
the text blurry.
Pass a scale factor when caching glyphs or looking them
up in the cache. The glyphs in the cache are rendered
with subpixel precision determined by the scale. Update
all callers to pass a scale factor according to the window
scale. This lets us render crisp glyphs on hidpi systems.
The copy of the PangoGlyphString we do here was showing up
in some profiles. To avoid it, allocate the PangoGlyphInfo array
as part of the node itself. Update all callers to deal with
the slight api change required for this.
Rename the surface getter to peek, following other render
node getters, and make the surface-based constructor private,
since it is not something we want to encourage.
Update all callers.
We were node handling coordinates correctly when dealing
with differently sized child nodes in a blendmode node.
This was showing up in the gtk4-demo css blendmode example,
for blendmodes other than normal.
This patch makes that work using 1 of 2 options:
1. Add all missing enums to the switch statement
or
2. Cast the switch argument to a uint to avoid having to do that (mostly
for GdkEventType).
I even found a bug while doing that: clearing a GtkImage with a surface
did not notify thae surface property.
The reason for enabling this flag even though it is tedious at times is
that it is very useful when adding values to an enum, because it makes
GTK immediately warn about all the switch statements where this enum is
relevant.
And I expect changes to enums to be frequent during the GTK4 development
cycle.
-Wint-conversion is important because it checks casts from ints to
pointers.
-Wdiscarded-qualifiers is important to catch cases where we don't
strings when we should.
In some cases, we were creating gigantic intermediate textures
only to clip out a small section afterwards (e.g. in the listbox
example in gtk4-demo). This is wasteful if we apply effects on
the texture, such as blur or color-matrix. So, clip the dimensions
of the intermediate texture with the current clip. To make this
feasible, we move the texture coordinate computation out of the
pipeline setup functions into the node_as_texture function where
this clipping happens.
One extra complication we encounter is that the node might get
clipped away completely. Since Vulkan does not allow to create
empty images, we bail out in this case and not draw anything.
With these changes, the listbox example in gtk4-demo goes from
32M pixels of intermediate texture to 320000.
Instead of having a function with lots of arguments in
GskVulkanRender that we call from GskVulkanRenderPass which
then just calls back into GskVulkanRenderPass, just create
the new render pass object locally, and an api to add it
to the list that GskVulkanRender keeps. This makes it
a lot easier to preserve all the relevant parameters from
the parent render pass.
Whenever we need a node as a texture, we now start a new render
pass that renders the node into a new intermediate texture, and
set up a semaphore to make the current render pass wait for it.
As part of this reorganization, much of the setup and drawing
code moved from gskvulkanrender.c to gskvulkanrenderpass.c.
This is another example for a 2-texture shader.
So far, only separable blend modes are implemented.
The implementation is not optimized, with an
if-else cascade in the shader.
We already move the descriptor set layout out of it,
so we can just as well keep the pipeline layouts in
the render object as well, and get rid of this extra
object. Update all callers.
Move the glyph caching api to something that can support using
multiple textures. We now split the text render ops into multiple
ops for different textures, and make each op render just a substring
of the text node's glyph string.
This is just a proof of concept - we use a single 1024x1024 surface,
and just give up when we run out of space. The cache is populated
incrementally, and items are never removed.
This commit takes several steps towards rendering text
like we want to.
The creation of the cairo surface and texture is moved
to the backend (in GskVulkanRenderer). We add a mask
shader that is used in the next text pipeline to use
the texture as a mask, like cairo_mask_surface does.
There is a separate color text pipeline that uses the
already existing blend shaders to use the texture as
a source, like cairo_paint does.
The text node api is simplified to have just a single
offset, which determines the left end of the text baseline,
like all our other text drawing APIs.
That way we don't need to move the clip rounded rect manually through
the vertex shader into the fragment shader but can just look at the push
constants.
Simplifies shaders a lot.
One cannot use #if...#endif within macro calls in Visual Studio and
possibly other compilers, and there are more uses of VLAs that need to be
replaced with g_newa().
There were also checks for the clip type in gskvulkanrenderpass.c which
were possibly not done right (using the address of the type value to check
for a type value), which triggered errors as one is attempting to compare
a pointer type to an enum/int type.
