It makes sense, but this ordering also helps to avoid bug in Doxygen
1.8.6+ which merges next non-xrefitem section with the previous one (so
e.g. the TODO list contained the following @see block, which is not
desired).
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.
Each texture has slightly different usage requirements and having
everything under one generic class is not worth the additional runtime
checks and whatnot. The current way with Texture::Target enum
(hopefully not too widely used) is now deprecated and will be removed in
some future release. However general Texture1D/2D/3D usage is not
changed in any way.
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.
Finally a non-confusing name, hopefully. Sorry it took me too long. The
original Sampler::maxAnisotropy() (and also
Sampler::maxSupportedAnisotropy()) is now alias to the new one, is
marked as deprecated and will be removed in future release.
The point is that we accept everything except const BufferImage&, as the
buffer needs to be bound, which is not an constant operation, as it
modifies internal GL state tracker.
Can't test EXT_debug_label, as that is apparently OSX 10.9-only. Added
GL tests for all implemented objects. KHR_debug is selected first, if
that is not available, fall back to EXT_debug_label. If neither is
available, the functions are no-op.
I hope EXT_debug_label gets replaced by KHR_debug later, thus it is now
only "emulated" through KHR_debug enums.
Fixed old references to Buffer::Usage, fixed parameter order in Image
constructor, fixed some function references. Added explicit references
to linkable stuff.
Until recently (or maybe not too recently) ES3 extension header was
"currently empty", now the extension header is shared with ES2. It's
nice to finally get rid of all the weird ifndefs.
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.
Makes the lines shorter, the conversions are mainly from strongly-typed
enums to underlying type, so nothing potentially harmful which should be
marked with static_cast.
Renamed AbstractTexture::maxSupportedLayerCount() to maxLayers(),
which is in fact alias to Shader::maxCombinedTextureImageUnits(). Also
renamed Samples::maxSupportedAnisotropy() to maxAnisotropy(). It now
has slightly confusing naming, will fix that later. Both
original functions are now alias to new ones to retain source
compatibility, will be removed in future releases.
Also printing the values in magnum-info.
In 1.8.5 it is now possible to reference directly to enum member.
Hooray! Also added explicit @ref here and there, fixing some referencing
bugs along the way.
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".
Inspired in STL, base templated class is renamed to BasicColor{3,4} and
typedef'd with Float type to Color{3, 4}. It is much nicer to write
this:
Color3(1.0f)
Color3::fromHSV(25.0_degf, 0.5f, 0.9f);
instead of this:
Color3<>(1.0f);
Color3<>::fromHSV(25.0_degf, 0.5f, 0.9f);
Avoids some nullptr-related errors and leads to simpler implementation,
as we need to only handle ImageReference and BufferImage types. All
other Image classes are implicitly convertible to ImageReference and
implicit conversion works only with references, not with pointers. The
usage might be clumsy at this point, as Trade::*Importer classes return
pointer to Trade::ImageData which then needs to be dereferenced.
Hopefully introducing C++14's std::optional (or equivalent) might help
solve that issue.
Also removed "convenience" overloads for setting e.g. 2D subdata of 3D
texture. The convenience overload doesn't cover all subdata cases (only
XY plane, not YZ or XZ ones) and overly complicates the implementation.
This can be done in the future in Image classes themselves.
It's now possible to call *Texture::setStorage() even if
OpenGL 4.2, ARB_texture_storage, OpenGL ES 3.0 or EXT_texture_storage in
ES 2.0 is not available, the function will internally use sequence of
setImage() calls as fallback.
It seems to me that this behavior is better than forcing the user to
always check for extension presence and then implementing this
functionality again and again. The huge switches for setting proper
image format and type are ugly though, but according to specs they must
be set even if we are sending no data (which is weird).
