The goal is to fix all the context that influences the rendering
of text nodes in the node file. This will help with better font
testing.
The newly accepted properties are
hint-style: none/slight/full
antialias: none/gray
We are omitting font options and values that aren't supported
in GSK or have no influence on the rendering.
Note that these settings will get incorporated in the PangoFont
that gets set on the resulting text node.
Parser tests included.
We need precise bounds. And while hinting might shift the rendering
around from these bounds by a fraction of a pixel, we account for
this in the places where it matters: when determining diff regions,
when sizing offscreens, and when determining the size of atlas
regions for glyphs.
Add a function to change the cairo font options of a font to
to the given values while keeping everything else the same.
We use pango api for this if available.
Note that this is not a fully general api, but tailored to the
needs of GSK. We don't allow setting hint-metrics (because it
only influences layout, not rendering) or subpixel-mode (since
we don't have component alpha available).
This changes the approach we take to rendering glyphs in the
presence of a scale transform: Instead of scaling the extents
and rendering to an image surface with device scale, simply
create a scaled font and use it for extents and rendering.
This avoids clipping problems with scaling of extents in
the presence of hinting.
The pango code that is drawing hex boxes, invisible glyphs, etc,
is depending on the width being set in the PangoGlyphInfo. Once
we set that, everything falls into place.
Testcase included.
It is a bit annoying that one has to specify the glyph width
when specifying glyphs numerically for a text node, since this
information really is part of the font.
Make the parser more flexible, and allow to specify just the glyph
ids, without an explicit width. In this case, the width will be
determined from the font.
With this, glyphs can now be specified in any of the follwing
ways:
glyphs: "ABC"; (ASCII)
glyphs: 23, 45, 1001; (Glyph IDs)
glyphs: 23 10, 100 11.1; (Glyph IDs and advance widths)
glyphs: 23 10 1 2 color; (with offsets and flags)
Tests have been updated to cover these variants.
We were just assuming they were if the format matches.
Fixes crashes in Webkit where the external texture is actually a dmabuf
imported as an EGL image.
Avoids getting the scale wrong when due to a rounding error our
pixel-aligned rectangle is 5.000000003px big and we ceil() to 6px
and produce blurry output.
Fixes#6439
The code was written under the assumption that the corners of
the rounded rect are disjoint. If they aren't, there are a few
more cases to consider.
Fixes: #6440
We lost this when a bunch of rect code was inlined in
commit 36314f28e2, and as it turns out, that broke some
applications. So, bring it back.
Fixes: #6435
Fixes blurriness in shadows.
Not sure to do a proper test for this feature. Usually proper pixel
alignment is tested by drawing a crips line and checking that it is
indeed crisp. But we are testing the blur operation here...
Fixes#6380
This isn't really a useful thing in itself, because none of the callers
handle the NULL return.
But the resulting crash is easier to debug when it's a NULL image than
when add_node() is called on an uninitializes NodeProcessor.
In GSK the following pattern is used four times:
```
switch (self->filter)
{
default:
g_assert_not_reached ();
G_GNUC_FALLTHROUGH;
case GSK_GPU_BLIT_LINEAR:
filter = GL_LINEAR;
break;
case GSK_GPU_BLIT_NEAREST:
filter = GL_NEAREST;
break;
}
```
The G_GNUC_FALLTHROUGH macro is not required. When G_DISABLE_ASSERT
is defined the body of the `default` case is empty, thus there is
no need. When G_DISABLE_ASSERT is not defined the body of the `default`
case contains g_assert_not_reached() thus it won't fallthrough.
This resolves the following:
```
[221/1379] Compiling C object gsk/libgsk.a.p/gpu_gskgpublitop.c.o
[...]
error: fallthrough annotation in unreachable code [-Werror,-Wimplicit-fallthrough]
1 error generated.
```
This can be helpful to see that there is an enormous scale blowing
things up. We omit the matrix, since it is 16 floats that are hard
to interpret at a glance.
Unless the renderer has been explicitly selected via the
GSK_RENDERER environment variable, don't use it with llvmpipe.
It is important that we allow explicit setting to override
this, so we can continue to use ngl in ci, where we don't
have hw and want to test with llvmpipe.
This should address many of the "performance is terrible in
GNOME OS" complaints that are coming from people running in
VMs, etc.
Look for nodes like subsurface { clip { texture {} } }, and use
the clip to provide a source rectangle for subsetting the texture.
Update affected tests, and add a new one.
This will let us use a subset of the full texture, which can
be necessary in the case that converters put padding around
content in dmabufs. The naming follows the Wayland viewporter
spec.
For now, make all callers pass the full texture rect.
We are going to introduce another rect, so better to be clear in
naming. We are following the naming of the Wayland viewporter spec
and call the rectangle that we drawing into the dest(ination).
We were collecting diffs based on the can_offload/can_raise
information, but attaching the texture to the subsurface can
fail (e.g. if its not a dmabuf texture), in which case can_offload
turned out to be wrong. So move the diff collection to the end
and do it based on the whether we actually succeeded in attaching
the texture.
We can just check if the subsurfaces contain content - and if they do,
they will be offloading and we can ignore the diff.
This essentially reverts 48740de71a
Instead of relying on diffing subsurface nodes, we track damage
generated by offloaded contents inside GskOffload.
There are 3 stages a subsurface node can be in:
1. not offloaded
Drawing is done by the renderer
2. offloaded above
The renderer draws nothing
3. offloaded below
The renderer needs to punch a hole.
Whenever the stage changes, we need to repaint.
And that can happen without the subsurface's contents changing, like
when a widget is put above the subsurface and it needs to to go from
offloaded above to below.
So we now recruit GskOffload for tracking these changes, instead of
relying on the subsurface diffing.
But we still need the subsurface diffing code to work for the
non-offloaded case, because then the offloading code is not used.
So we keep using it whenever that happens.
Not that when a subsurface transitions between being offloaded and not
being offloaded, we may diff it twice - once in the offload code and
once in the node diffing - but that shouldn't matter.
When a subsurface goes from not offloaded to offloaded (or vice versa),
we need to add the whole node to the diff region, because we switch from
whatever contents were drawn to a punched hole.
The 2 callers of gsk_gpu_get_node_as_image() were already computing the
minimum clip region and in particular aligning it to the pixel grid, so
intersecting with node bounds again was causing that alignment to be
busted.
When using a window size and scale that don't multiply to an integer, we
were using the wrong method to adjust it.
The Wayland fractional scaling spec just says:
> For toplevel surfaces, the size is rounded halfway away from zero.
This is meant to be interpreted as "create a large enough buffer to hold
partial pixels) and the compositor will blend it mapping to the pixel
grid" even if that means the buffer slightly overhangs.
Example:
A 11 units wide window at 150% will need a 11 * 1.5 = 16.5 pixel wide
buffer. This should be rounded to 17 pixels but rendered as if only 16.5
pixels are occupied by the window, not as if all 17 pixels are occupied.
This commit is wrong.
It does achieve what it sets out to do, but the method doesn't work.
It confused multiple things in one commit, the commit message only
describes the symptoms it tries to fix and not why the fix is correct,
it includes no tests and it wsn't properly reviewed.

We want to use a viewport that gives us the right scale back.
This fixes problems where glyph lookups were inefficient because
the scale part of the key would fluctuate ever so slightly.
We were not finding an overlaid spinner, since it is implemented
as a texture in a (most of the time) non-affine transform, and
we were aborting our treewalk when we see such transforms.
Instead, don't abort the walk on any transforms, but check if we
are in an affine context before deciding to offload a subsurface.
The previous code was ignoring non-scissor clips, which would make it
overeager at punching holes.
It also was not working with fractional coordinates.
Fixes#6375
We can reach the code that removes the item from the hash table
before or after the weak unref has triggered. Just leave the
weakref in place and let it do its thing, if it hasn't gone
off yet. That matches what we do in free.
Fixes: #6377
We do gc in a timeout, when an arbitrary GL context might be
current, so we need to make sure its ours and we don't free
random textures in another context.
Fixes: #6366
Count dead pixels in textures (ie the number of pixels in GPU
textures that are no longer backed by an alive GdkTexture object),
and when the there's too many, do a gc before rendering the next
frame.
Count the uses of cached texture - from the device (via the linked
list) and from the texture (via render data / weak ref), and only
free the item once the use count reaches zero.
Instead of forever running a timeout to do gc, ensure the timeout
is scheduled whenever we render a frame (this is done by calling
gsk_gpu_device_maybe_gc () before gsk_gpu_frame_render (), and
gsk_gpu_device_queue_gc () after).
Read the GSK_CACHE_TIMEOUT environment variable to override the
default 15s timeout for cache gc. This is mainly meant for debugging.
Since we don't really need two knobs, reuse the gc timeout value
for the max age of items too.
The node processing wasn't skipping 0-size nodes when using the
uber shader, leading to assertions down the road. Since the ngl
renderer doesn't use uber shaders, this only affects vulkan.
Test included.
Fixes: #6370
When we don't have an embedded font file via a url, then we want
to parse fonts "as normal", i.e. allow fallback for aliases like
"Monospace 10". This was broken when the url support was added.
Make it work again.
Update affected tests. In particular, the output of the text-fail
test goes back to be the same it was before the url changes.
GL needs version 4.2 before it supports explicit bindings. We use GLES
usually, and Mesa supports GL 4.6, so we didn't hit this case before.
However, MacOS does use GL and Mac OS is stuck on GL 4.1.
Fixes#6363
The intent of this change to get wider testing and verify that the
new renderers are production-ready. If significant problems show
up, we will revert this change for 4.14.
The new preference order is ngl > gl > vulkan > cairo.
The gl renderer is still there because we need it to support gles2
systems, and vulkan still has some rough edges in application support
(no gl area support, webkit only works with gl).
If you need to override the default renderer choice, you can
still use the GSK_RENDERER environment variable.
When a border side has a width of 0 but we're having rounded corners, we
draw content in the edges of that side, and naturally pick its color.
That is wrong though, when the width is zero, we're supposed to keep
using the color of the other side in that corner.
So do that.
Fixes the border-corner-zero-width-rendering.ui reftest.
Count how many dead pixels we have, and free the atlas if more than
half of its pixels are dead.
As part of this, change when glyphs are freed. We now keep them
in the hash table until their atlas is freed and we only do dead
pixel accounting when should_collect is called. This keeps the
glyphs available for use from the cache as long as are in the atlas.
If a stale glyph is sused, we 'revive' it by removing its pixels
from the dead.
This matches more closely what the gl renderer does.
If we gc a cached texture for which the GdkTexture is still alive,
the cached texture object will remain accessible via the render
data, so need to make sure not to leave a dangling pointer behind
here.
This is straightforward. If a texture hasn't been used for 4 seconds,
we consider it stale, and drop it the next time gc comes around.
The choice of 4 seconds is arbitrary.
Fixes: #6346
Add GSK_GPU_SKIP=glyph-align to turn off the glyph aligning.
FIXME: Should this be handled by the renderer at all or should we rely
on higher rendering layers to align glyphs properly?
This is kind of a tricky question just like with texture-scale nodes and
NEAREST filtering, because rendernodes can be embedded in other nodes
that disturb the pixel grid.
Previously, we only checked if the cache had exhausted the maximum
number of slices.
But we also need to check that the height of the slices doesn't exceed
the height of the texture.
After the node-editor crashed on me once too often, I decided to take a
good hard look at the parsing code and add a bunch of weird corner
cases into the testsuite.
That meant redoing the parser so that the error paths cause neither
crashes nor duplicated or wrong error messages.
If we see custom fonts when serializeing text nodes, write data
url that contains the font file, the first time we see it.
This does not add blobs standard fonts, like Cantarell or Monospace.
Update all affected nodeparser tests.
This will let us store complete test fonts inside node files,
as data: urls. You can also use a file: url to refer to a local
file.
The syntax is as follows:
text {
font: "FONT DESCRIPTION" url("data:font/ttf;base64,FONT DATA");
}
with the url being optional.
A PangoFont keeps a weak reference to its fontmap. In addition,
keep a strong reference in GskTextNode, so we can be sure that
custom font maps won't go away before the node is finalized.
This clip is different from "none" in that the bounds rect cannot be
ignored and that potential drawing outside the clip must be avoided.
In particular it means that clip nodes cannot be discarded if they
encompass the full clip region.
Fixes#6322
Make sure fallbacks and fill/stroke masks use image surfaces with the
same pixel grid as the target if possible.
Fixes blurriness with some path renderings.
We need to respect the offset when converting to the pixel grid, so pass
the current offset into the function.
Also move the rounded out of gsk_gpu_get_node_as_image() and into the 2
callers, because the offset is not passed into the function and I see no
reason to change that.
Instead of using the bounds of the clip region, emit individual
renderpasses for each rectangle of the clip region.
The benefit of this depends on how many pixels the clip region covers,
but for widget factory it reduces the required rendering by a huge
amount.
This is now the best clipping renderer - Cairo doesn't clip at all and
GL clips based on the extents.
Previously, we would set a scissor rect when doing a partial redraw, but
we would not clip the nodes based on that rectangle.
Do that now.
This massively reduces the amount of ops we emit for small redraws.
The Vulkan renderer can just be public API, because it doesn't expose
any Vulkan-specific APIs.
And it can just exist when compiled without Vulkan, because it can fail
to realize.
Also move get rid of the gsk/vulkan/gskvulkanrenderer.h header. It was
experimental and isn't necessary now that the renderer is included via
gsk.h.
If shaders don't support nonuniform indexing, we emulate it via if/else
ladders (or switch ladders) which get inlined by the GLSL compiles and
massively blow up the code.
And that makes compilation of the shaders take minutes and results in
shader code that isn't necessarily faster.
So we disable it on GL entirely and on Vulkan if the required features
aren't available.
As it's only an optimization and does not fall back to Cairo anymore,
this should be fine.
Make the generator generate calls for the correct glBindAttribLocation()
calls.
Usually this was done correctly, but we can't rely on it. So do it
explicitly.
When downscaling more than 2x in either dimension, force mipmap use for
the texture in a texture node.
It improves the quality of textures but takes extra work.
The GL renderer does this, too (for textures that aren't in the icon cache).
This can be disabled via GSK_GPU_SKIP=mipmap.
Fixes the big-checkerboard-scaled-down2 test.
Unless GSK_GPU_SKIP=gradients is given, we sample every point 4x instead
of 1x. That makes the shader run slower (by roughly a factor of 2.5x)
but it improves quality quite a bit.
I'm a bit unsure about using the zero rect in the fallback situtation
where one image doesn't exist, but it seems to work.
This removes the last pattern-only rendernode and with that the last
fallback usage with disabled ubershader.
This way we can toggle opacity handling on/off.
THe shader slowly turns into a fancy texture op - but I don't want to
rename it to "fancytexture" just yet.
A variation is a #define/specialization constant that every shader can
use to specialize itself as it sees fit.
This commit adds the infrastrcture, future commits will add
implementations.
If we enter the situation where we need to redirect the clipping to an
offscreen, make sure that:
* the ubershader gets only used when beneficial
* we size the offscreen properly and don't let it grow infinitely.
Fixes the clip-intersection-fail-opacity test
There are various places where the alpha is implicitly assumed to be
handled, so just handle it.
As a bonus, this simplifies a bunch of code and makes the texture node
rendering work with alpha.
Use an offscreen and mask it if the clips get too complicated.
Technically, the code could be improved to set the rounded clip on the
offscreen instead of rendering it as a mask, but that would require more
sophisticated tracking of clip regions by respecting the scissor, and
the current clip handling can't do that yet.
This removes one of the last places where the GPU renderer was still
using Cairo fallbacks.
This is for generating descriptors for more than 1 image. The arguments
for this function are very awkward, but I couldn't come up with better
ones and the function isn't that important.
And the calling places still look a lot nicer now.
For now this uses Cairo to generate a mask and then runs a mask op.
This is different from just using fallback in that the child is rendered
with the GPU and not via fallback.
A generic part that can be shared by all gradient shaders that does the
color stop handling and a gradient-specific part that needs to be
implemented individually by each gradient implementation.
If there are more than 7 color stops, we can split the gradient into
multiple gradients with color stops like so:
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, transparent
transparent, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, transparent
...
transparent, n-2, n-1, n
and use the new BLEND_ADD to draw them on top of each other.
Adapt the testcae that tests this to use colors that work with the fancy
algorithm we use now, so that BLEND_ADD and transitions to transparent
do not cause issues.
Instead of scaled coordinates, use the unscaled ones.
This ensure that gradients get computed correctly as they are not safe
against nonorthogonal transforms - like scales with different scale
factors.
The shader can only deal with up to 7 color stops - but that's good
enough for the real world.
Plus, we have the uber shader.
And if that fails, we can still fall back to Cairo.
The code also doesn't handle repeating linear gradients yet.
This shader can take over from the ubershader. And it can be used
instead of launching the ubershader when no offscreens are necessary.
Also includes an optimization that uses the colorize shader when
appropriate.
The ubershader has some corner cases where it can't be used, in
particular when the child is massively larger than the repeat node and
the repeat node is used to clip lots of the source.
It's better than the Cairo renderer, so use it instead.
It's still only picked once GL fails, so it will probably only ever be
picked when people use GDK_DEBUG=gl-disable, but at least it will be
picked.
per-backend renderers and GL renderers are a different thing, so treat
them as such.
Also, try the GL renderer unconditionally. The renderer initialization
code will take care of GL not being available.
This is using the Vulkan renderer.
It also allows claiming support for all the formats that only Vulkan
supports, but that neither GL nor native mmap can handle.
