To be more consistent with GLSL naming. Also, the original naming was
quite misleading, as normalize() is used in GLSL for something
completely different.
If building with deprecated APIs, the Functions.h header includes the
new Packing.h header and the {de,}normalize() functions are defined as
deprecated aliases to the new functions. This will be removed at some
point in the future.
Building blocks for supporting other colorspaces such as L*a*b. I was
not happy with matrices from Wikipedia because they don't round-trip
perfectly so I have slightly different / more precise versions that do
round-trip.
At first I designed a hugely disrupting change that basically deprecated
everything related to 8-bit linear RGB colors, but then I took a step
back and reconsidered 8-bit linear RGB as a valid use case.
The documentation of Color classes, typedefs and literals was clarified
to mention that these classes should always represent linear RGB and
that 8-bit colors are commonly treated as *not* linear and one should be
aware of it.
There is now a new Color3::fromSrgb() and Color3::toSrgb() that converts
from sRGB representation to a linear RGB usable for calculations and
then back. For four-component colors, there is now
Color4::fromSrgbAlpha() and Color4::toSrgbAlpha(). Similarly to what
OpenGL sRGB behavior is regarding to alpha, the alpha channel is kept
linear, that's why I'm also calling it sRGB + alpha instead of sRGBA.
Besides that, there are four new literals _srgb, _srgba, _srgbf and
_srgbaf that have different semantics to support the sRGB workflow. The
8-bit versions are equivalent to _rgb and _rgba, though they don't
return Color3 but a non-color Vector3 to hint that the result is not a
linear RGB color. Main purpose of these is documentation. The float
versions apply an inverse sRGB curve to the input, returning a linear
RGB color.
For consistency with naming scheme for other color spaces (upcoming
Srgb, Xyz, Lab etc.). The old uppercase names are now marked as
deprecated and will be removed in some future release.
The compiler does that for us. Probably a brain fart from 2010. On the
other hand, the ConfigurationValue specializations need to be there,
because the type is used explicitly as template parameter.
Makes more sense than fully opaque black. On the other hand, creating
Color4 from Color3 or separate RGB components still sets alpha to one,
because that's the intuitive behavior.
Apart from different include (<Magnum/Math/Color.h> instead of
<Magnum/Color.h>) there shouldn't be any visible change to the user. The
BasicColor3 and BasicColor4 classes are now Math::Color3 and
Math::Color4. The Color3, Color4, Color3ub and Color4ub typedefs in
Magnum namespace stayed the same.
BasicColor3 and BasicColor4 is now an alias to Math::Color3 and
Math::Color4, is marked as deprecated and will be removed in future
release. The same goes for the <Magnum/Color.h> include, which now just
includes the <Magnum/Math/Color.h> header.
Useful for squeezing out last bits of performance, e.g. in this case:
Vector3 a;
a[0] = something++;
a[1] = something++;
a[2] = something++;
In the code all elements are first zeroed out and then overwritten
later, thus it might be good to avoid the zero-initialization:
Vector3 a{Math::NoInit};
a[0] = something++;
a[1] = something++;
a[2] = something++;
This will of course be more useful in far larger data types and arrays
of these.
Previously only matrices allowed to be created either as an identity or
zero-initialized. Now all Math classes support that, including (dual)
complex numbers and quaternions.
Some classes are by default constructed zero-filled while other are set
to identity and the only way to to check this is to look into the
documentation. This changes the default constructor of all classes to
take an optional "tag" which acts as documentation about how the type is
constructed. Note that this result in no behavioral changes, just
ability to be more explicit when writing the code. Example:
// These two are equivalent
Quaternion q1;
Quaternion q2{Math::IdentityInit};
// These two are equivalent
Vector4 vec1;
Vector4 vec2{Math::ZeroInit};
Matrix4 a{Math::IdentityInit, 2}; // 2 on diagonal
Matrix4 b{Math::ZeroInit}; // all zero
This functionality was already present in some ugly form in Matrix,
Matrix3 and Matrix4 classes. It was long and ugly to write, so it is
now generalized into the new Math::IdentityInit and Math::ZeroInit tags,
the original Matrix::IdentityType, Matrix::Identity, Matrix::ZeroType
and Matrix::Zero are deprecated and will be removed in the future
release.
Math::Matrix<7, Int> m{Math::Matrix<7, Int>::Identity}; // before
Math::Matrix<7, Int> m{Math::IdentityInit}; // now
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.
