I found that the gears demo was spending 40% cpu
downloading a GL texture every frame, only to
upload it again to another context.
While the GSK rendering and the GtkGLArea use different
GL contexts, they are (usually) connected by sharing data
with the same global context, so we can just use the
texture without the download/upload dance. This brings
gears down to < 10% cpu.
Do custom uploads rather than using gdk_cairo_surface_upload_to_gl(),
because this way we avoids a roundtrip (memcpy and possibly conversion)
to the cairo image surface format.
GLES doesn't support the GL_BGRA + GL_UNSIGNED_INT_24_8 hack that
we use on desktop OpenGL to upload textures directly in the cairo
pixel format. This adds the required conversions to all the places
that currently need it.
We also add a data_format to the internal gdk_gl_context_upload_texture()
function to make it clearer what the format are. Currently it is always
the cairo image surface format, but eventually we want to support other
formats so that we can avoid some of the unnecessary conversions we do.
Also, the current gdk_gl_context_upload_texture() code always converts
to a cairo format and uploads that like we did before. Later commits
will allow this to use other upload formats that gl supports to avoid
conversions.
We need to include both the scale and the filtering
in the key for the texture cache, since those affect
the texture.
This fixes misrendering in the recorder in the inspector
whenever transforms are involved. An example where this
was showing up is testrevealer's swing transition.
The only likely place where this is going to happen
is if a renderer was explicitly requested with the
GSK_RENDERER environment variable, and in that case,
it is misleading to silently use a different renderer.
When rendering to an offscreen because of transforms,
check if transforming the bounds of the node results
in a non-axis-aligned quad. If it doesn't, we want
GL_NEAREST interpolation to get sharp edges. Otherwise,
we use GL_LINEAR to get better results for things
that are actually transformed.
This is a projecting version of the corresponding
graphene api. While we are at it, rewrite
gsk_matrix_transform_bounds() to use
gsk_matrix_transform_rect().
Replace our uses of graphene_matrix_transform_point,
_point3d and _bounds by our own versions that handle
projective transforms correctly.
This fixes render node bounds being incorrect for widgets
involving projective transforms (e.g. testrevealer swing
transformations), and also fixes picking on such widgets.
If some node is fully outside the clip region we don't send it to the daemon.
This helps a lot in how much data we send for scrolling viewports.
However, sending partial trees makes node reuse a bit more tricky. We
can't save for reuse any node that could possibly clip different depending on
the clip region, as that could be different next frame. So, unless the
node is fully contained in the current clip (and we thus know it is not
parial) we don't allow reusing that next frame.
This fixes#3086
Since we have now made the Win32 GL contexts share the global context as
the other backends have, we are more ready to use the GL renderer by
default on Windows as well.
Note that currently we can only enable this when not running on
OpenGL/ES as the OpenGL/ES shaders are not ready at this point, and the
OpenGL/ES support that we have from libANGLE does not support full
desktop OpenGL operations.
