Defines a scale and offset for everything rendered relative to the top-left of the destination framebuffer.

By default the viewport has an origin of (0,0) and width and height that match the framebuffer's size. Assuming a default projection and modelview matrix then you could translate the contents of a window down and right by leaving the viewport size unchanged by moving the offset to (10,10). The viewport coordinates are measured in pixels. If you left the x and y origin as (0,0) you could scale the windows contents down by specify and width and height that's half the real size of the framebuffer.

cogl_framebuffer_resolve_samples ()

void                cogl_framebuffer_resolve_samples    (CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer);

When point sample rendering (also known as multisample rendering) has been enabled via cogl_framebuffer_set_samples_per_pixel() then you can optionally call this function (or cogl_framebuffer_resolve_samples_region()) to explicitly resolve the point samples into values for the final color buffer.

Some GPUs will implicitly resolve the point samples during rendering and so this function is effectively a nop, but with other architectures it is desirable to defer the resolve step until the end of the frame.

Since Cogl will automatically ensure samples are resolved if the target color buffer is used as a source this API only needs to be used if explicit control is desired - perhaps because you want to ensure that the resolve is completed in advance to avoid later having to wait for the resolve to complete.

If you are performing incremental updates to a framebuffer you should consider using cogl_framebuffer_resolve_samples_region() instead to avoid resolving redundant pixels.

When point sample rendering (also known as multisample rendering) has been enabled via cogl_framebuffer_set_samples_per_pixel() then you can optionally call this function (or cogl_framebuffer_resolve_samples()) to explicitly resolve the point samples into values for the final color buffer.

Some GPUs will implicitly resolve the point samples during rendering and so this function is effectively a nop, but with other architectures it is desirable to defer the resolve step until the end of the frame.

Use of this API is recommended if incremental, small updates to a framebuffer are being made because by default Cogl will implicitly resolve all the point samples of the framebuffer which can result in redundant work if only a small number of samples have changed.

Because some GPUs implicitly resolve point samples this function only guarantees that at-least the region specified will be resolved and if you have rendered to a larger region then it's possible that other samples may be implicitly resolved.

This reads a rectangle of pixels from the given framebuffer where position (0, 0) is the top left. The pixel at (x, y) is the first read, and a rectangle of pixels with the same size as the bitmap is read right and downwards from that point.

Currently Cogl assumes that the framebuffer is in a premultiplied format so if the format of bitmap is non-premultiplied it will convert it. To read the pixel values without any conversion you should either specify a format that doesn't use an alpha channel or use one of the formats ending in PRE.

This is a convenience wrapper around cogl_framebuffer_read_pixels_into_bitmap() which allocates a temporary CoglBitmap to read pixel data directly into the given buffer. The rowstride of the buffer is assumed to be the width of the region times the bytes per pixel of the format. The source for the data is always taken from the color buffer. If you want to use any other rowstride or source, please use the cogl_framebuffer_read_pixels_into_bitmap() function directly.

The implementation of the function looks like this:

bitmap = cogl_bitmap_new_for_data (context,
                                   width, height,

Enables or disabled dithering if supported by the hardware.

Dithering is a hardware dependent technique to increase the visible color resolution beyond what the underlying hardware supports by playing tricks with the colors placed into the framebuffer to give the illusion of other colors. (For example this can be compared to half-toning used by some news papers to show varying levels of grey even though their may only be black and white are available).

If the current display pipeline for framebuffer does not support dithering then this has no affect.

Dithering is enabled by default.

Behaves the same as cogl_framebuffer_draw_attributes() except that instead of reading vertex data sequentially from the specified attributes the indices provide an indirection for how the data should be indexed allowing a random access order to be specified.

For example an indices array of [0, 1, 2, 0, 2, 3] could be used used to draw two triangles (mode = COGL_VERTICES_MODE_TRIANGLES + n_vertices = 6) but only provide attribute data for the 4 corners of a rectangle. When the GPU needs to read in each of the 6 vertices it will read the indices array for each vertex in sequence and use the index to look up the vertex attribute data. So here you can see that first and fourth vertex will point to the same data and third and fifth vertex will also point to shared data.

Drawing with indices can be a good way of minimizing the size of a mesh by allowing you to avoid data for duplicate vertices because multiple entries in the index array can refer back to a single shared vertex.

Since it's very common to want to draw a run of rectangles using indices to avoid duplicating vertex data you can use cogl_get_rectangle_indices() to get a set of indices that can be shared.

                                                         ...);

Behaves the same as cogl_framebuffer_vdraw_attributes() except that instead of reading vertex data sequentially from the specified attributes the indices provide an indirection for how the data should be indexed allowing a random access order to be specified.

For example an indices array of [0, 1, 2, 0, 2, 3] could be used used to draw two triangles (mode = COGL_VERTICES_MODE_TRIANGLES + n_vertices = 6) but only provide attribute data for the 4 corners of a rectangle. When the GPU needs to read in each of the 6 vertices it will read the indices array for each vertex in sequence and use the index to look up the vertex attribute data. So here you can see that first and fourth vertex will point to the same data and third and fifth vertex will also point to shared data.

Drawing with indices can be a good way of minimizing the size of a mesh by allowing you to avoid data for duplicate vertices because multiple entries in the index array can refer back to a single shared vertex.

Since it's very common to want to draw a run of rectangles using indices to avoid duplicating vertex data you can use cogl_get_rectangle_indices() to get a set of indices that can be shared.

This drawing api doesn't support high-level meta texture types such as CoglTexture2DSliced so it is the user's responsibility to ensure that only low-level textures that can be directly sampled by a GPU such as CoglTexture2D, CoglTextureRectangle or CoglTexture3D are associated with layers of the given pipeline.

Draws a textured rectangle to framebuffer using the given pipeline state with the top left corner positioned at (x_1, y_1) and the bottom right corner positioned at (x_2, y_2). The top left corner will have texture coordinates of (s_1, t_1) and the bottom right corner will have texture coordinates of (s_2, t_2).

Draws a textured rectangle to framebuffer with the given pipeline state with the top left corner positioned at (x_1, y_1) and the bottom right corner positioned at (x_2, y_2). As a pipeline may contain multiple texture layers this interface lets you supply texture coordinates for each layer of the pipeline.

This is a high level drawing api that can handle any kind of CoglMetaTexture texture for the first layer such as CoglTexture2DSliced textures which may internally be comprised of multiple low-level textures. This is unlike low-level drawing apis such as cogl_framebuffer_draw_primitive() or cogl_framebuffer_draw_attributes() which only support low level texture types that are directly supported by GPUs such as CoglTexture2D.

The top left texture coordinate for layer 0 of any pipeline will be (tex_coords[0], tex_coords[1]) and the bottom right coordinate will be (tex_coords[2], tex_coords[3]). The coordinates for layer 1 would be (tex_coords[4], tex_coords[5]) (tex_coords[6], tex_coords[7]) and so on...

The given texture coordinates should always be normalized such that (0, 0) corresponds to the top left and (1, 1) corresponds to the bottom right. To map an entire texture across the rectangle pass in tex_coords[0]=0, tex_coords[1]=0, tex_coords[2]=1, tex_coords[3]=1.

The first pair of coordinates are for the first layer (with the smallest layer index) and if you supply less texture coordinates than there are layers in the current source material then default texture coordinates (0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0) are generated.

Specifies a modelview transformed rectangular clipping area for all subsequent drawing operations. Any drawing commands that extend outside the rectangle will be clipped so that only the portion inside the rectangle will be displayed. The rectangle dimensions are transformed by the current model-view matrix.

The rectangle is intersected with the current clip region. To undo the effect of this function, call cogl_framebuffer_pop_clip().

Sets a new clipping area using a 2D shaped described with a CoglPrimitive. The shape must not contain self overlapping geometry and must lie on a single 2D plane. A bounding box of the 2D shape in local coordinates (the same coordinates used to describe the shape) must be given. It is acceptable for the bounds to be larger than the true bounds but behaviour is undefined if the bounds are smaller than the true bounds.

The primitive is transformed by the current model-view matrix and the silhouette is intersected with the previous clipping area. To restore the previous clipping area, call cogl_framebuffer_pop_clip().

cogl_set_framebuffer ()

void                cogl_set_framebuffer                (CoglFramebuffer *buffer);

This redirects all subsequent drawing to the specified framebuffer. This can either be an offscreen buffer created with cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture() or in the future it may be an onscreen framebuffers too.

Since 1.2

cogl_push_framebuffer ()

void                cogl_push_framebuffer               (CoglFramebuffer *buffer);

Redirects all subsequent drawing to the specified framebuffer. This can either be an offscreen buffer created with cogl_offscreen_new_to_texture() or in the future it may be an onscreen framebuffer too.

You should understand that a framebuffer owns the following state:

So these items will automatically be saved and restored when you push and pop between different framebuffers.

Also remember a newly allocated framebuffer will have an identity matrix for the projection and modelview matrices which gives you a coordinate space like OpenGL with (-1, -1) corresponding to the top left of the viewport, (1, 1) corresponding to the bottom right and +z coming out towards the viewer.

If you want to set up a coordinate space like Clutter does with (0, 0) corresponding to the top left and (framebuffer_width, framebuffer_height) corresponding to the bottom right you can do so like this:

static void
setup_viewport (unsigned int width,
                unsigned int height,
                float fovy,
                float aspect,
                float z_near,
                float z_far)
{
  float z_camera;
  CoglMatrix projection_matrix;
  CoglMatrix mv_matrix;

  cogl_set_viewport (0, 0, width, height);
  cogl_perspective (fovy, aspect, z_near, z_far);

  cogl_get_projection_matrix (&projection_matrix);
  z_camera = 0.5 * projection_matrix.xx;

  cogl_matrix_init_identity (&mv_matrix);
  cogl_matrix_translate (&mv_matrix, -0.5f, -0.5f, -z_camera);
  cogl_matrix_scale (&mv_matrix, 1.0f / width, -1.0f / height, 1.0f / width);
  cogl_matrix_translate (&mv_matrix, 0.0f, -1.0 * height, 0.0f);
  cogl_set_modelview_matrix (&mv_matrix);
}

static void
my_init_framebuffer (ClutterStage *stage,
                     CoglFramebuffer *framebuffer,
                     unsigned int framebuffer_width,
                     unsigned int framebuffer_height)
{
  ClutterPerspective perspective;

  clutter_stage_get_perspective (stage, &perspective);

  cogl_push_framebuffer (framebuffer);
  setup_viewport (framebuffer_width,
                  framebuffer_height,
                  perspective.fovy,
                  perspective.aspect,
                  perspective.z_near,
                  perspective.z_far);
}

The previous framebuffer can be restored by calling cogl_pop_framebuffer()

Since 1.2

cogl_pop_framebuffer ()

void                cogl_pop_framebuffer                (void);

Restores the framebuffer that was previously at the top of the stack. All subsequent drawing will be redirected to this framebuffer.
