Much easier to write (and explain!) than Shaders::VertexColor2D::Color{
Shaders::VertexColor2D::Color::Components::Three}. Ugh. Why again it
took me *years* to realize?
It was just RGB before. In order to avoid breaking current code, the
attribute now requires explicit specification of number of components.
If building with deprecated APIs enabled, there is an additional
deprecated constructor that defaults to RGB so the current code should
keep working as-is.
Each shader now has sample image, example mesh configuration and example
rendering setup. Also properly documented all attribute types and made
introductory chapter for whole Shaders namespace.
No backward compatibility issues should exist, as the class is in most
(if not all) cases used with unscoped name:
class MyShader: public AbstractShaderProgram {
public:
typedef Attribute<0, Vector3> Position;
// ...
};
Previously the API didn't encourage the user to set up and activate
shader before drawing the meshes, leading to unintuitive behavior:
// Can I just call draw() or do I have to fully understand the
// meaning of the universe before?
mesh.draw();
Now the draw() needs the shader passed explicitly as parameter, which
should hint that the shader must be set up somehow:
// Right, so this needs just a shader and that's all. Expecting this
// I fortunately *did* configure all the uniforms before this call.
mesh.draw(shader);
It is also possible to pass the shader as rvalue, in case the drawing is
just a one-off thing and is already fully configured.
mesh.draw(MyShader{});
As usual, the original API is kept, is marked as deprecated and will be
removed in some future release.
The only places where they aren't absolute are:
- when header is included from corresponding source file
- when including headers which are not part of final installation (e.g.
test-specific configuration, headers from Implementation/)
Everything what was in src/ is now in src/Corrade, everything from
src/Plugins is now in src/MagnumPlugins, everything from external/ is in
src/MagnumExternal. Added new CMakeLists.txt file and updated the other
ones for the moves, no other change was made. If MAGNUM_BUILD_DEPRECATED
is set, everything compiles and installs like previously except for the
plugins, which are now in MagnumPlugins and not in Magnum/Plugins.
Defines common attributes which are shared by majority of the shaders,
allowing mesh to be configured for the generic shader to be used with any
of them.
