ClutterUnit has been replaced by float: ClutterUnits is now what it was meant to be (an opaque container for logical distances and positions), and not a "pixels with a fractionary part". all you used to do with CLUTTER_UNITS_* now you just need to replace with operations on single precision floating point values. the ClutterUnits struct is an opaque container that you should use to store non-pixel values, e.g. a width in em, or a height in millimeters. when Clutter will be able to use XSETTINGS it will queue a relayout when the DPI of the display changes so that actors can recompute their size using ClutterUnits. > > obviously, if somebody comes up with other topics, then feel free to > > mention them on the mailing list or open a bug; patches, as always, are > > welcome. > > ClutterFixed throws out a few errors but they're pretty self explanatory > maybe a few simple notes to help could be useful. all the ClutterFixed API suffered the same fate of the old ClutterUnit API, with the exception that it's now part of COGL instead of having been removed. you should only use fixed point if you measure a difference between fixed point and floating point operations -- though if your platform has a GPU and no FPU, then you're doing it wrong, as the kids nowadays say. ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, Senior Engineer | emmanuele.ba...@intel.com Intel Open Source Technology Center | http://oss.intel.com -- To unsubscribe send a mail to clutter+unsubscr...@o-hand.com
