This node essentially implements the feColorMatrix SVG filter. I got the
idea yesterday after looking at the opacity implementation.
It can be used for opacity (not sure if we want to) and to implement a
bunch of the CSS filters.
Now that every call to GtkCellArea is a snapshot call and no more cairo
calls are left, move the actual differentiation between Cairo and
Snapshot down to the cell renderer.
... and implement it for the Cairo renderer.
It's an API that instructs a renderer to render to a texture.
So far this is mostly meant to be used for testing, but I could imagine
it being useful for rendering DND icons.
This causes the snapshotting algorithm to dump all widget nodes into
their own container node. We then name that group accordingly (ie
"GtkSwitch<0xdeadbeef>") so you can easily see which node belongs where.
The feature is toggleable in the inspector's visual tab.
There's a few problems with it, becuse GtkSnapshot optimized container
nodes away if they are not needed, so we are losing some widgets...
Instead of making people intiialize a rectangle and then applying border
radius manually, provide a constructor that does it for them.
While doing that, also allow people to instead request the padding box
or the content box.
Refactor all relevant code to use this new constructor.
... and make the icon rendering code use it.
This requires moving even more shadow renering code into GSK, but so be
it. At least the "shadows not implemented" warning is now gone!
The node draws a solid CSS border, which can be used to cover everything
but dashed and dotted borders (double, groove, inset, ...).
For different border styles, we overlay multiple nodes and set their
colors to transparent for sides with non-matching styles.
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.
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.
gsk_render_node_get_bounds() still exists and is computed via vfunc
call:
- containers dynamically compute the bounds from their children
- surface and texture nodes get bounds passed on construction
If we ever feel, we need this function again, we can readd it later.
But nobody is using it other than for overriding opactiy. And you can
just override opacity directly if you care.
