The API documentation is rather bare. Much of the stuff in the documentation could indeed be in the API documentation. > with some > not so exciting examples As the documentation states, the examples are meant to be very simple so that the new concepts are obvious and not lost in a sea of code. The "full example" should indeed be much more exciting (it's crappy) and I hope that someone with more clutter-foo will one day do that. > and rather strange descriptions (2.5D for > example, '2D surfaces in 3D space' is better imho). Changed. I picked "2.5D" up from somewhere or other and it seemed to be the one that Clutter people liked and understood.

See, for instance, the "Clutter first allows the stage to handle each event via the captured-event signal" text here: http://www.openismus.com/misc/clutter_tutorial/docs/tutorial/html/ch04s04.html If something else has changed since then about events then I can't see it in the ChangeLog. > anchor point, order of transformations etc). What part of the API should I be looking at to mention the "anchor point" concept, and where is an order of transformations to be discovered? I don't think they are mentioned at all yet in the tutorial. > I think GTK widget > has had its namespace changed. Thanks. Fixed. GtkClutter changed to GtkClutterEmbed. (and doesn't work any more for me, unfortunately: ) I regularly rebuild clutter and clutter-documentation, but I guess I forgot to rebuild clutter-gtk. > Also no info on new features of upcoming > 0.6 - JSON, Shaders etc. I'm waiting for someone with more clue than me to provide some kind of example. The lack of these new features in the tutorial doesn't make the tutorial bad though. Other missing stuff (already marked by TODO) is waiting for the high-level library (with boxes, scroll window, etc) to be released so I can take something reasonable sensible as inspiration. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.murrayc.com www.openismus.com -- To unsubscribe send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
