This way we can pass the command pool around.
And that allows us to allocate and submitcustom buffers.
And that is necessary to make staging images work.
It turns out, some simple getters - such as
gdk_drawing_context_get_clip() - love copying things before returning
them.
I guess somebody has to burn cycles...
When the background-clip of the background is smaller than the
background-clip of blended images, not pushing a group is wrong.
Test testing exactly that included.
This uses the new push()/pop() mechanism to its fullest extent when
implementing transitions. It's fun to inspect the results in the
inspector.
Crossfades don't work yet, they continue using a Cairo fallback.
A side effect of the stack conversion is that widget-factory now uses
snapshots for a lot more things.
It is now possible to call push() subfunctions for simple container
nodes with just a single child. So you can for example
gtk_snapshot_push_clip() a clip region that all the nodes that get
appended later will then obey.
gtk_snapshot_pop() will then not return a container node, but a clip
node containing the container node (and similar for the transform
example).
This is implemented internally by providing a "collect function" when
pushing that is called when popping to collects all the accumulated
nodes and combine them into the single node that gets returned.
To simplify things even more, gtk_snapshot_pop_and_append() has been
added, which pops the currently pushed node and appends it to the
parent.
The icon rendering code has been converted to this approach.
This code makes renderers fall back to Cairo rendering if they don't
know how to handle a render node's type.
This allows adding new render nodes with impunity.
Instead of appending a container node and adding the nodes to it as they
come in, we now collect the nodes until gtk_snapshot_pop() is called and
then hand them out in a container node.
The caller of gtk_snapshot_push() is then responsible for doing whatever
he wants with the created node.
Another addigion is the keep_coordinates flag to gtk_snapshot_push()
which allows callers to keep the current offset and clip region or
discard it. Discarding is useful when doing transforms, keeping it is
useful when inserting effect nodes (like the ones I'm about to add).
Instead of having a setter for the transform, have a GskTransformNode.
Most of the oprations that GTK does do not require a transform, so it
doesn't make sense to have it as a primary attribute.
Also, changing the transform requires updating the uniforms of the GL
renderer, so we're happy if we can avoid that.
