Re: [clutter] Considering Clutter for Toonloop
hi; I'm currently out of office to a conference, so I'm going to answer very quickly... On Tue, 2010-07-27 at 10:21 -0400, Alexandre Quessy wrote: 1) My first requirement is that we can set the texture data using a pointer to char*, like in http://github.com/aalex/proto-toonloop/blob/proto-gtkglext/src/gui.cpp on line 368. (that's where the interesting Toonloop development is hidden these days!) ClutterTexture has the API to do exactly that: • clutter_texture_set_from_rgb_data() http://docs.clutter-project.org/docs/clutter/stable/ClutterTexture.html#clutter-texture-set-from-rgb-data • clutter_texture_set_area_from_rgb_data() http://docs.clutter-project.org/docs/clutter/stable/ClutterTexture.html#clutter-texture-set-area-from-rgb-data 2) My second requirement, is that we can set the actor (the plane on which we draw the texture) can be automatically resized when the window is resized. (the units are in pixels in Clutter, which is not what I am used with) I know this is possible in Clutter. it's possible. you can set the stage to be resizable and then use notification on allocation changes. in Clutter 1.4 there will be a ClutterBindConstraint and a ClutterAlignConstraint which allows to match position/size and align actors depending on normalized (0.0 → 1.0) values. 3) Third requirement: be able to resize the window, make it fullscreen, embed it in GTK+. Should be OK too in Clutter. true. clutter-gtk is the library that allows that. 4) Fourth requirement: be able to use shaders with two textures fed to it. The idea is to blend two images together using the overlay mode. (the live input + the animation playback) That's what I am not sure at all about. ClutterShader allows that - just create a ClutterTexture, get the CoglMaterial out of it and set two CoglTextures as two separate material layers. the layer number is also the texture sampler id. So far, GtkGlExt meets them all. For Clutter, they are probably all possible too, but it's not so obvious. The good point for Clutter, is that using GLSL shaders is quite easy with it. It wraps the low-level OpenGL calls in an elegant manner. the interactive test suite has a lot of code that deals with the API; some high level GL concepts are mapped in an object oriented way, but they are relatively the same. ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, Open Source Software Engineer Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe send a mail to clutter+unsubscr...@o-hand.com
Re: [clutter] Is there a ClutterReflectTexture to use in Clutter 1.0?

that code was never in Clutter: it was in one of the toys.
nowadays, two years and a half after that code was written, we have
better ways of accomplishing the same result - even in languages that
are not C. :-)
first of all, ClutterCloneTexture has been replaced by ClutterClone,
which can clone all actors, not just textures.
then you don't need to drop into GL to paint: Cogl, the Clutter OpenGL
abstraction library, can do that for you, and more efficiently.
the whole paint() virtual function implementation can be replaced with
something like this:
static void
clutter_texture_reflection_paint (ClutterActor *actor)
{
ClutterClone *super = CLUTTER_CLONE (actor);
ClutterTextureReflectionPrivate *priv;
ClutterActor *source;
ClutterActorBox *box;

gfloat width, height, r_height;
gfloat rty;
CoglColor color_1, color_2;
CoglTextureVertex vertices[4];

/* if we don't have a source actor, don't paint */
source = clutter_clone_get_source (super);

clutter_actor_box_get_size (box, width, height);
/* get the composite opacity of the actor */
opacity = clutter_actor_get_paint_opacity (actor);
/* clamp the size of the reflection */
r_height = priv-reflection_height;
if (r_height 0 || r_height height)
r_height = height;
/* figure out the texel for the reflection */
rty = r_height / height;
/* figure out the two colors for the reflection: the first is
* full color and the second is the same, but at 0 opacity
*/
cogl_color_set_from_4f (color_1, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, opacity / 255.);
cogl_color_premultiply (color_1);
cogl_color_set_from_4f (color_2, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0);
cogl_color_premultiply (color_2);
/* now describe the four vertices of the quad; since it has

*/
vertices[0].x = 0; vertices[0].y = 0; vertices[0].z = 0;
vertices[0].tx = 0.0; vertices[0].ty = 1.0;
vertices[0].color = color_1;
vertices[1].x = width; vertices[1].y = 0; vertices[1].z = 0;
vertices[1].tx = 1.0; vertices[1].ty = 1.0;

cogl_polygon (vertices, 4, TRUE);
}
[the code above is untested and uncompiled, but translated from the
python example available in Git[0] so it should just work]

[clutter] [ANNOUNCEMENT] List migration (PLEASE READ)
hi everyone; the last piece of the migration puzzle finally fell into place; we now have new mailing lists for Clutter, hosted at: http://lists.clutter-project.org the new lists are: • clutter-announce: a mailing list for announcement regarding Clutter, its integration libraries, its bindings and all projects related to Clutter; announcements can come from the Clutter Development Team but we invite the community to use it to let people know of new projects using Clutter. the list is moderated, and it should only be used for announcements. if you are subscribed to the clutter@o-hand.com mailing list then you'll be automatically subscribed. • clutter-app-devel-list: a mailing list for application development with Clutter. if you are subscribed to the clutter@o-hand.com mailing list then you'll be automatically subscribed. • clutter-devel-list: a mailing list for discussing the development of Clutter itself (and not development with Clutter). the clutter@o-hand.com mailing list will be closed; I will put a copy of the archives on the new website, for historical purposes. ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, Open Source Software Engineer Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe send a mail to clutter+unsubscr...@o-hand.com

[clutter] Migration of clutter-project.org to a new server
hi everyone; for the past 9 months we've been in the process of migrating clutter-project.org to a new server. it seems that finally we're in the final stages of this long transfer. the change will involve: • the main Git server • the website • the project's blog • the Bugzilla installation • the mailing list and its archives everything will be moved under the clutter-project.org domain: source.clutter-project.org - the location for the various tarballs docs.clutter-project.org - the location for the documentation bugzilla.clutter-project.org - the new Bugzilla instance wiki.clutter-project.org - the new wiki git.clutter-project.org - the Git server for cloning repos, and cgit instance for browsing if you have write access to the Git repository, your key will be moved to the new one, so hopefully nothing will be required from you apart from removing git.clutter-project.org from the SSH known hosts; just poke me on IRC or via email if anything ceases to work. the Bugzilla instance at bugzilla.o-hand.com will be frozen, and the bugs moved to the new one. the version is currently the same, but we expect to upgrade to the latest version, and add Splinter for patches review. unfortunately, the mailing list software will be changed from the current one to mailman+listinfo; this means that you'll have to re-subscribe to the new list address. the archives are being collected, and will be available from the new website, as soon as it'll be available. ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, Open Source Software Engineer Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe send a mail to clutter+unsubscr...@o-hand.com

By this I mean that each character is drawn almost like a block instead of the actual glyph. which GPU and driver are you using? - Certain textures are not rendered (meaning I don’t see them), yet the app functions as if they are there (meaning if the texture is a button control the button still functions even though it is invisible). again, these two seem connected (lack of mipmapping support). I tried executing some of the test-interactive programs and have seen two issues with v1.2.8. These issues don’t exist in v1.0.10: 1) With the test-texture-async I get the following output in the console and see no output to the application window. this has nothing to do with the rest of the issues; you have to pass a file to the test otherwise it'll fail. I'll add a check that bails out early instead of spewing errors. 2) With the test-texture-quality application I see the hand drawn properly on the first cycle, but for all other cycles, only a few pixels near the top are drawn. there you go: lack of mipmapping support on your platform. ciao, Emmanuele. -- Emmanuele Bassi, Open Source Software Engineer Intel Open Source Technology Center -- To unsubscribe send a mail to clutter+unsubscr...@o-hand.com

[clutter] [ANNOUNCE] Clutter Core 1.1.4 (Developers Snapshot)
hi everyone; do you remember when I said that there would be monthly developers snapshots until the 1.2 release? well, it turns out that development, traveling and moving to a new house tends to disrupt release schedules. the best-laid plans of mice and men, and all that... anyhow, here's to you a new developers snapshot of Clutter; I'll try to keep these coming for the whole month, until we reach API and feature freeze later in January, in time for GNOME 2.30 and the next Moblin cycle.

The parser also respects the order of the properties in the UI definitions when applying them, and will apply the properties of an Actor after building the scene graph. o Simplified the implementation of LayoutManager sub-classes, and added support for animating a layout manager. o Allow short-circuiting some layout operations by setting a specific flag on ClutterActor. o Improve caching of the preferred size of a ClutterActor. o Allow declaring internal children for a ClutterContainer implementation: the memory management of these actors will be deferred entirely to the Container. o Let the ClutterStage honour the :opacity property and the alpha component of the stage color.

In test-threads.c there was this row:

this clutter_threads_add_idle_full also in clutter API or not?)
no; the API subset that's clearly thread-related and that it safe
(unless obviously not - like clutter_threads_init() and
clutter_threads_set_lock_functions() - but these are clearly marked as
such) to be called from another thread is set in the clutter_threads_*
sub-namespace. we cannot put it in another namespace altogether - this
is still Clutter API.
Now I put my code under update_label_idle, which have clutter_actor_*
calls, so this might be safe place?
yes; idle and timeout callbacks will be executed from within the same
thread that is spinning the main loop.
I have lots of code using ClutterScript and json files. I realized
that my target platform is too slow to load actors when needed, but it
has lots of memory. I would like to use existing code, not to rewrite
them using 'load-async'.
load-async is a GObject property, and can be defined using
ClutterScript:
{
type : ClutterTexture,
load-async : true,
filename : /path/to/filename,
}
will load the file asynchronously - as long as you use Clutter from
master, which guarantees the ordering of object members; otherwise just
set load-async to true and call clutter_texture_set_from_filename()
explicitly.

RE: [clutter] problem with threads and clutter-texture from file: Failed to create COGL texture
Just curious, what is the point of the threads_enter threads_leave API if everything breaks outside of the main thread? Isn't even providing them asking for misunderstandings like this? You can replace the locking primitives Clutter uses through clutter_threads_set_lock_functions() And use, for instance, a re-entrant lock. Mostly, enter/leave are meant for language bindings and integration libraries, to enslave the Clutter lock to another locking system; The Python bindings, for instance, cannot use the clutter_threads_add_* API and must reimplement it in order to take the interpreter lock as well. Without clutter_threads_enter() and clutter_threads_leave() in the public API this would not be possible. Also, on Linux it's possible to use them (as I said) to mark a critical section; if you don't care about portability then it's something you can use - though it's discouraged and an unfortunate accident involving a bucket of puppies and a belt sander might happen if you don't follow the established worker-thread-sends-results-in-idle pattern.

[clutter] [ANNOUNCE] Clutter Core 1.1.2 - Developers snapshot
hi everyone; less than 3 months after the 1.0.0 release here's a new development snapshot for Clutter. Clutter 1.1.2 is now available for download at: http://www.clutter-project.org/sources/clutter/1.1/ http://download.gnome.org/sources/clutter/1.1/ MD5 Checksums: 20d37870ed0db4aaf8404d78b89b0d71 clutter-1.1.2.tar.bz2 dc4cc91e721be887d5469ec7edde8f8c clutter-1.1.2.tar.gz Clutter is an open source software library for creating fast, visually rich, portable and animated graphical user interfaces. Clutter is licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1. Clutter currently requires: • GLib = 2.16.0 • Cairo = 1.6 • Pango = 1.20 • OpenGL = 1.4, OpenGL|ES 1.1 or OpenGL|ES 2.0 • GLX, SDL, WGL, Quartz or an EGL Implementation Depending on the platform and the configuration options Clutter also depends on: • GDK-Pixbuf = 2.0 • JSON-GLib = 0.8 Notes: • This is the first developers snapshot of the 1.1 cycle • This version is API and ABI compatible with the current stable release of Clutter • Installing the contents of this release will overwrite the files from the installation of the current stable release of Clutter • Bugs should be reported to: http://bugzilla.o-hand.com What's new in Clutter 1.1.2: • List of changes since Clutter 1.0 o Add ClutterLayoutManager, an abstract proxy class for easily writing layout management policies; also add ClutterLayoutMeta, a class for storing layout properties. o Add ClutterBox, a generic container actor that relies on a ClutterLayoutManager instance to manage the layout of its children. o Add the following layout managers: - ClutterFixedLayout - a layout manager implementing the policy used by ClutterGroup - ClutterBinLayout - a layout manager for packing actors as layers inside the same area, with per-actor alignment - ClutterFlowLayout - a layout manager arranging actors as a reflowing grid - ClutterBoxLayout - a layout manager arranging actors as a single line o Remove the requirement for the backend-specific implementation of ClutterStage to be a ClutterActor: a Stage implementation must only implement the ClutterStageWindow interface. This cleans up the backend code. o COGL source tree clean up and rationalization; COGL now knows the platform, and not only the driver (GL or GLES) so we can migrate part of the low-level backend code from Clutter to COGL where it makes sense. o Remove code duplication across whole COGL. o The GLES 2.0 driver for COGL, and the EGLX backend for Clutter have been fixed and confirmed working. o Add dump-pick-buffer to CLUTTER_DEBUG: this debug options dumps the contents of each pick() buffer into a PNG file, for debugging purposes. o Allow interpolating intervals of ClutterUnits for animating unit-based properties. o Increase strictness and correctness of the ClutterUnits grammar parser. o Add GValue transformation functions for ClutterPath to and from a string. o Fix word movement in ClutterText; implement GObject getter for :use-markup; emit notification for :position; decouple the :text property from the :use-markup property. o Do not queue redraws or relayouts on actors currently being destroyed. o Support #rrggbb and #rgb notations for ClutterColor. o Multiple bug fixes. o Provide _NET_WM_PID on the X11 stage implementation. o Documentation and Introspection annotation fixes. o Add test units for the ClutterActor size requesition. o Build fixes. o Use AM_SILENT_RULES if Automake 1.11 is detected, and fall back to Shave on older Automake versions.

nope, you can't.
ClutterScript does not special-case strings and we cannot get random
user data since it would imply pointer handling.
the way User Interface definition files work in similar contexts
(GtkBuilder and libglade, which are the prior art for ClutterScript in

fill it up with relevant objects created using ClutterScript through
clutter_script_get_objects() and then pass it to

I would have thought it would have been correct to call

no, ClutterGroup overrides show_all() exactly to avoid the gtk+-like
behaviour that you (and I) are used to. :-)
it's been like that since Clutter 0.2 -- the rationale being that you
might be using a Group to hold invisible placeholders for later
animations, or source actors for clones, and calling show_all() would
display them. in theory, we might add a private no-show-all flag and a
clutter_actor_set_no_show_all() - but as far as I'm concerned, if you're
using ClutterGroup you're off to interesting behaviours anyway, and you
should probably be using your own container.

Yes, true. But, the main problem is that the documentation and examples are not quite on par with the code sometimes, which is confusing. Which is also the main reason for me to try to update the examples for clutter-sharp - to make it easier for people to start :). yeah, I guess the example code needs to be ported to the 1.0 API. ClutterAlpha's constructor does not take a function any more: it uses easing modes (an enumeration value). Clear now. The main problem is that the Alpha function accepts an ulong, and not the enum; which is confusing. I will try to fix that (not that experience in invoking c libraries in C#) and make a patch. Another issue arose: while BehaviourOpacity is working, BehaviourPath is not: GLib-GObject-WARNING **: IA__g_object_new_valist: invalid unclassed object pointer for value type `ClutterPath'. I will look into that as well. ClutterBehaviourPath uses the ClutterPath object, which encapsulates all the functionality that concerned describing paths from BehaviourPath and BehaviourBspline. you'll need to create a new Path object and pass it to the BehaviourPath behaviour -- something like: # define a path as a set of nodes my $behaviour = Clutter::BehaviourPath-new( Clutter::Alpha-new($timeline, 'ease-out-cubic'), Clutter::Path-new( [ 'move-to', [ [ 100, 100 ] ] ], [ 'line-to', [ [ 200, 100 ] ] ], [ 'line-to', [ [ 200, 200 ] ] ], [ 'curve-to', [ [ 100, 200 ], [ 100, 200 ], [ 100, 100 ] ] ], ), ); or # define a path using a SVG-like description my $behaviour = Clutter::BehaviourPath-new( Clutter::Alpha-new($timeline, 'ease-out-cubic'), Clutter::Path-new(M 100,100 L 200,100 L 200,200 C 100,200 100,200 100,100), ); in Perl.

Is this the correct behaviour, or am I correct in assuming that I should be receiving the actor for which the event would have been received by if it weren't for capturing it. the ::captured-event signal works exactly like the ::event signal, which has the same semantics used by gtk+, only it works from the top-most container to the actor. the event is propagated, in case of the ::event signal, from the reactive actor that received the event from the windowing system (as determined by the pick) to its parents until it reaches the stage; the ::captured-event signal is emitted before the ::event signal and is emitted on the stage that contains the actor and down through the actor's parents until it reaches the actor itself. 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

Notes
-
o This is the second stable release of the 1.0.x cycle.
o This version is parallel installable with Clutter 0.8.
o Installing this version will overwrite the files from the
installation of a git clone of the current development
branch.
o The GL|ES backends are still broken; there is a patch attached to bug:
http://bugzilla.openedhand.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1698
which fixes the GL|ES 2.0 COGL backend and the EGLX Clutter backend,
and has been applied to the master branch. Before we backport it to the
1.0 branch I'd like to get wider testing for it.

This is the bit I'm having a few issues with as it goes :/ ClutterUnit to ClutterUnits seems a little more complicated than I first thought although looking through the docs it probably isn't too difficult. 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

Release notes: * This is a developers snapshot, intended for testing and feedback * Requires clutter core = 1.0.0 * Provides better bindings for the Cogl API * Adds more examples ported from the clutter core interactive tests Also, I'm proud of announcing that PyClutter gained a new maintainer: Bastian Winkler did most of the job of porting PyClutter to the new upstream API, and then some more by providing first class bindings to the COGL API and porting some of the interactive tests in Clutter to Python. Many thanks to Young-Ho Cha as well, for fixing some issues during the porting and making the API more pythonic. +++ Clutter is an open source software library for creating fast, visually rich and animated graphical user interfaces. Clutter uses OpenGL or OpenGL/ES to provide hardware acceleration to user interfaces. Clutter can be used as a canvas or as a base for writing a full toolkit on both desktop and embedded devices. Clutter is portable on various platforms, being developed on Linux and tested on Windows and OSX with native ports. Clutter has integration libraries for quickly developing applications with GTK+, GStreamer, Mozilla and other libraries. PyClutter is the collective name for the Python bindings for the Clutter core API and integration libraries The PyClutter bindings allow you to write canvas-based applications in a Pythonic and object-oriented way, freeing you from having to care about the casting and the memory management of the original Clutter C API, and yet remaining close to its spirit.

What you seem to be experiencing is not that the redrawing is delayed
but that animations are being blocked. Clutter 1.0 changes how
animations are driven and locks them to the redraw cycle; solving many
idle priority related issues that existed in clutter-0.8 and before.
as a side note: there's no power in the 'verse that can make the main
loop work correctly when you're blocking it inside a handler -- say, for
instance, you have while(1) {} or g_usleep() in an event handler or
inside a Timeline::new-frame callback.
the usual answers for CPU-intensive blocks are:
- break them up in logical steps and use a state machine+idle/timeout
source in the main loop to avoid blocking.
- use threads and prepare to cross the plains of Despair and Rage,
ascend the mountains of Doom, pass the Peak of Terror, and finally
enter in a land made of unicorns and puppies where everything works
by the power of rainbows and magic pixie fairy dust.
for both solutions, Clutter provides API to do things The Right Way(tm),
including: a timeout pool, frame sources and repaint cycle hooks.

[clutter] releases for Clutter 1.0 and integration libraries
hi everyone; I wanted to give a proper notice about how we're going to play the 1.0 release of Clutter and relative integration libraries. Clutter 1.0.0 is going to be the first stable release of the 1.0 cycle, and the first release of the 1.0 API cycle. for Clutter-GTK and for Clutter-GStreamer, both Damien (clutter-gst maintainer extraordinaire) and myself (as clutter-gtk maintainer) feel that we still need some time to iron out API and features before committing the two modules to a stable API guarantee. for this reason, both Clutter-GTK and Clutter-GStreamer will be released as 0.10[0]. both libraries will depend on Clutter 1.0. other libraries, like Clutter-MozEmbed and Clutter-Box2D, will depend on Clutter 1.0 as well, and they will probably be using the 0.10 version number, given their relative infancy; it will be decided on a case-by-case basis. so, just to recap: Clutter: + core: 1.0 +- 1.2 + gtk: 0.10 +--- 1.0 +--- 1.2 + gst: 0.10 +--- 1.0 +--- 1.2 ... ciao, Emmanuele. +++ [0] as a side note on the roadmap: the plan for Clutter-GTK is to incorporate Alex Larsson patchset to allow embedding GTK+ widgets inside a Clutter scene in the 0.11 cycle and then release 1.0 after GTK+ 2.18 has been released. as for Clutter-GStreamer, Damien has plans about changing some API and using playbin2 and other features of GStreamer before committing to 1.0. -- 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

OK, understood. I still maintain that people aren't going to test stuff that doesn't compile. I can get people to debug runtime problems, but I can't get them to fix the build first. it works fine with the win32 and osx backends: we received valuable feedback and patches to make both backends compile (for the win32 backend Neil is usually on the case, but we've been swamped by Moblin work so it takes time even for him) and work. The cynical side of me suggests that intel is blocking GLES work so clutter only works on x86, but that's just me being cynical. that would be just you being cynical and wrong. we helped, and still help everyone that wishes to use Clutter on GL|ES hardware. if we wanted to mess people up we could have just yanked out the whole GL|ES backends from the start. You should yank then from the releases, but keep them in git. there is no such thing as yank then from releases. Cairo still ships with the glitz backend that can be enabled by a configure option, even though it's completely unmaintained except for drive-by patches, if we want to look at another similar case. That way it's clear that GLES is broken and basically unsupported, but leaves the door open for someone to fix it. given the amount of emails, comments on blogs and conversations on IRC in which I explained the GL|ES situation, it would be fair to assume that, by now, the people that might want to use Clutter 1.0 on embedded hardware with GL|ES support are aware of the situation. 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

The path will be filled with a gradient and the arcs have to be smooth (anti-aliased).

Better as in better hardware accelerated performance and perhaps that it's somehow more native to Clutter (although I'm not sure if there's a difference in that sense). there is no difference in terms of nativeness; the performance issue is true, though: we use a non-hw accelerated Cairo surface, so you need to make sure you're not updating the contents of the CairoTexture needlessly -- you should draw on your cairo_t* only when the allocation changes, and possibly only if the allocation size is different than the size of the CairoTexture surface. we plan to add more features to the COGL primitives, including anti-aliasing and gradients, but they are for future development cycles. ciao, Emmanuele.
