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.
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.
Add GSK_GPU_IMAGE_RENDERABLE and GSK_GPU_IMAGE_FILTERABLE and make sure
to check formats for this feature.
This requires reorganizing code to actually do this work instead of just
pretending formats are supported.
This fixes GLES upload tests with NGL.
This makes the (currently single) storage buffer handled by
GskGpuDescriptors.
A side effect is that we now have support for multiple buffers in place.
We just have to use it.
Mixed into this commit is a complete rework of the pattern writer.
Instead of writing straight into the buffer (complete with repeatedly
backtracking when we have to do offscreens), write into a temporary
buffer and copy into the storage buffer on committing.
If we have the choice between running the ubershader or a normal shader
with offscreens, make the choice depend on if the ubershader would
offscreen anyway.
If so, just run the normal shader.
This really gets rid of all ubershader invocations in Adwaita
widget-factory.
This adds GSK_GPU_IMAGE_CAN_MIPMAP and GSK_GPU_IMAGE_MIPMAP flags and
support to ensure_image() and image creation functions for creating a
mipmapped image.
Mipmaps are created using the new mipmap op that uses
glGenerateMipmap() on GL and equivalent blit ops on Vulkan.
This is then used to ensure the image is mipmapped when rendering it
with a texture-scale node.
Add a GSK_GPU_IMAGE_STRAIGHT_ALPHA and use it for images that have
straight alpha.
Make sure those images get passed through a premultiplying pass with
the new straight alpha shader.
Also remove the old Postprocess flags from the Vulkan image that were a
leftover from copying that code from the old Vulkan renderer.
The main reason here is that we want to not fail when the texture size
is larger than the supported GpuImage size.
When that happens, for now we just fallback slowly - ulitmately to
drawing with Cairo, which is going to be clipped.
There's multiple uses I want it for:
1. Generating the box-shadow area for blurring
2. Generating masks for rounded-rect masking
3. Optimizing the common use case of rounded-clip + color
Only the last one is implemented in this commit.
Introduce a new GskGpuImageDescriptors object that tracks descriptors
for a set of images that can be managed by the GPU.
Then have each GskGpuShaderOp just reference the descriptors object they are
using, so that the coe can set things up properly.
To reference an image, the ops now just reference their descriptor -
which is the uint32 we've been sending to the shaders since forever.
The env var allows skipping various optimizations in the GPU shader.
This is useful for testing during development when trying to figure
out how to make a renderer as fast as possible.
We could also use it to enable/disable optimizations depending on GL
version or so, but I didn't think about that too much yet.
When drawing opaque color regions that are large enough, use
vkCmdClearAttachments()/glClear() instead of a shader. This speeds up
background rendering on particular on older GPUs.
See the commit messages of
bb2cd7225ece042f7ba10edd7547c1
for a further discussion of performance impacts.
They're done using the pattern shader.
The pattern shader now gained a stack where vec4's can be pushed and
popped back later, which allows storing the position before computing
the new position inside the repeat node's child.
... and use it for glyphs.
The name is a slight variation of the "coloring" name from the GL
renderer.
The functionality is exactly what the "glyph" shader from the Vulkan
renderer does.
Instead of strictly rounding to the given clip rectangle, increase the
rectangle to the next pixel boundary.
Also add docs that the clip_bounds do not influence the actual size of
the returned image.
It's just an object that encapsulates everything needed to create (the
data for) a pattern op.
It also clarifies which code does what, because now the NodeProcessor
and the PatternWriter are 2 different things.
Pretty much a copy of the Vulkan border shader.
A notable change is that the input arguments are changed, because GL
gets confused if you put a mat4 at the end.
