Only one value from these two was used in the end, wasting precious
bytes. Also these two values were used to differentiate between indexed
and non-indexed mesh (instead of relying on actual index buffer being
bound), which was very confusing. This approach looks more clean. The
MeshView class is not yet updated, as the change would expose some
features that aren't possible in current implementation (base vertex
specification).
Merged Mesh::setVertexCount() and Mesh::setIndexCount() into one
Mesh::setCount(), the two original functions are now guarded aliases to
the new one, are marked as deprecated and will be removed in future
release, similarly for the getters.
In particular, if the mesh is indexed, setVertexCount() does nothing and
vertexCount() returns 0. The setIndexCount() and indexCount() do and
return the same regardless of whether the mesh is indexed or not.
Until now the textures were bound to layers, which was rather confusing,
especially when binding layered textures to layers (gaah). Also the
wording might have implied that each texture must be in some layer in
order to make it usable in shader. This is no longer the case with (yet
unimplemented) bindless texture, so another reason to remove the
confusion.
All occurences of texture layers were replaced texture binding units to
follow OpenGL naming. It was mostly in the docs, except for
already-deprecated *Layer enums in shaders, but they will be removed
soon anyway.
Why did I do this:
* It is more clean, shorter and nice looking with method chaining,
i.e. instead of:
shader.setColor(...)
.setOtherParam(5);
texture1.bind(MyShader::Texture1Layer);
texture2.bind(MyShader::Texture2Layer);
We now have this:
shader.setColor(...)
.setOtherParam(5)
.setTexture1(texture1)
.setTexture2(texture2);
* It is now also clear which texture type is expected, the layer
constant did not say anything about type.
* Also it is possible to use new features (multi bind, bindless
textures etc.) while preserving the same public API.
The only potential disadvantage is that the textures don't stay bound
like uniform values do, but this become a non-issue with bindless
textures. As usual, the old way is now deprecated and will be removed in
some future release.
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 previous way was half-working at best, as it handled array textures
improperly. Now there is overload for each texture type. The old way
with attachTexture*D() is marked as deprecated and will be removed in
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.
There will be many places (e.g. all
Platform::*Application::Configuration classes) where Version will be
used without Context (and all GL stuff brought with it).
Because we can't forward-declare class members we would need to include
whole Mesh (along with all OpenGL headers and other stuff) just to use
Primitive enum. The old Mesh::Primitive is now alias to new one, is
marked as deprecated and will be removed in future release.
Encourages vectorization and generic usage even more. Some functions
were rewritten to make use of the new features, resulting in shorter and
more readable code. This also fixes the annoying naming collision with
WINAPI Rectangle() function.
The old Rectangle is now subclass of Range2D, is marked as deprecated
and will be removed in future release.
Buffer usage is used as parameter in many functions, e.g. in
*Framebuffer::read() and *Texture::image(), but they are rather seldom
used and including whole Buffer.h file just for one enum is just
overkill. The old Buffer::Usage is now alias to BufferUsage, it is
marked as deprecated and will be removed in future release.
Operators that are part of Vector are operating only with the same type
as Vector itself, operators for multiplying/dividing integral vectors
with floating-point numbers and vectors are now out-of-class and enabled
only for integer vectors. It allows better control (e.g. multiplying
integer and floating-point vector will _always_ result in floating-point
one). Thoroughly tested integer/FP operations and also reworked and
tested operator and funciton reimplementations in subclasses, both for
value correctness and result type correctness.
It is possible to do everything with Mesh::addInterleavedVertexBuffer().
Moreover Mesh::addVertexBuffer() was dependent on vertex count, which
was counterintuitive and not always what the user wants. Also in many
times I mistakenly used Mesh::addVertexBuffer() instead of
Mesh::addInterleavedVertexBuffer() and then spent endless hours trying
to figure out what is wrong. This is now over. Thanks, brain!
Makes some cases less consistent (and some convenience shortcuts
impossible), but goes well with the attitude "don't use pointer when it
can't be null".
* Older GLSL doesn't have texelFetch() and related things, working
around it by using classical texture() and normalized floating-point
coordinates. But that needs to have Texture::imageSize() passed,
which is not available in OpenGL ES, thus the user must specify it
explicitly there. On desktop OpenGL that parameter is ignored.
* Older GLSL doesn't have gl_VertexID, thus vertex buffer must be
created and vertex data passed expliticly.
* GLSL ES 2.0 doesn't have one-component texture format and
TextureFormat::Luminance probably isn't renderable anywhere, thus
TextureFormat::RGB should be used, although it is inefficient.
* Checking for framebuffer completeness, if not complete, nothing is
done.
* Re-eabled building of TextureTools library in all ES PKGBUILDs.
Removed unneeded member variables, removed wrong assertions and wrong
documentation (most of the state they were fobidding is actually valid).
Retrieving shader log with full length, properly printing non-error
messages to debug output.
Each shader must now be compiled explicitly using compile(), which is
slightly better for the user as it is possible to check compile status
instead of having it weirdly hidden inside attachShader(). link() now
also returns linking status.
