The 32-bit float depth be needed for the upcoming OpenEXR plugin, added
also the remaining ones that will be eventually supported by KTX and DDS
plugins.
Apparently "pixel size" could have meant "image size in pixels" as well.
Additionally also clarify what image size means, since it might be
unclear especially for the block-compressed images.
Except for formats like ETC, which do have the actual size in their
name, these are just confusing -- the compression is more like 565 than
a byte in some cases and it just doesn't give any useful information.
I was slowly getting cancer from having to write the unreadably awful
VK_FORMAT_R666G666B666A666_SRGB all the time. Besides that:
- All pixel formats are documented to show what's guaranteed for them
by the spec. Pretty useful I'd say.
- The old hasVkFormat() and vkFormat() converters operating on a
VkFormat are deprecated in favor of new hasPixelFormat() and
pixelFormat() that use the PixelFormat enum. Similarly as done in the
GL wrapper.
- All APIs that took a VkFormat before take a PixelFormat now, together
with having conveinience overloads for Magnum::PixelFormat and
Magnum::CompressedPixelFormat. Again similarly as done in the GL
wrapper, also the first step on being able to *directly* use data
imported with the Trade library with Vulkan.
Originally, \def_vk was used for enum values (equivalently to how
\def_gl is used for "enum" values in GL), but I also need to reference
actual defines such as VK_VERSION_MINOR(), so renamed it to \val_vk and
reused \def_vk for actual defines.
This deliberately doesn't follow the PixelFormat enum naming, as RGBA
components make no sense for most vertex data. Checking Metal and
WebGPU, they seem to have arrived at a similar conclusion, only VkFormat
is an outlier.
Should make new things more discoverable, avoid confusion when a
documented API isn't there and reduce the need for maintaining multiple
separate versions of the docs.
GL has an extension, but only for ES, not on desktop. Vulkan has
nothing yet (due to there being just ARM that implements it, no other
vendor), except those being listed in a KTX format specification.
Those are now also available under WebGL 1/2 and OpenGL ES 3.O (strangely
not OpenGL ES 2.0) under EXT_texture_compression_{rgtc,bptc}. The GL names
are extra weird-ass now that all other APIs use the BC names.
Deprecated for 2018.04, it's been almost a year since. Whoever is using
Magnum regularly updated already, and who not can always upgrade
gradually (2018.02, 2018.04, 2018.10, 2019.01 etc.).
This is quite big, so:
* There are new Magnum::PixelFormat and Magnum::CompressedPixelFormat
enums, which contain generic API-independent formats. In particular,
PixelFormat replaces GL::PixelFormat and GL::PixelType with a single
value.
* There's GL::pixelFormat(), GL::pixelType(),
GL::compressedPixelFormat() to convert the generic enums to
GL-specific. The mapping is only in one direction, done with a lookup
table (generic enums are indices to that table).
* GL classes taking the formats directly (such as GL::BufferImage) have
overloads that take both the GL-specific and generic format.
* The generic Image, CompressedImage, ImageView, CompressedImageView,
and Trade::ImageData classes now accept the generic formats
first-class. However, it's also possible to store an
implementation-specific value to cover cases where a generic format
enum doesn't have support for a particular format. This is done by
wrapping the value using pixelFormatWrap() or
compressedPixelFormatWrap(). Particular GPU APIs then assume it's
their implementation-specific value and extract the value back using
pixelFormatUnwrap() or compressedPixelFormatUnwrap(). There's also an
isPixelFormatImplementationSpecific() and
isCompressedPixelFormatImplementationSpecific() that distinguishes
these values.
* Many operations need pixel size and in order to have it even for
implementation-specific formats, a corresponding pixelSize()
overload is found via ADL on construction and the calculated size
stored along the format. Previously the pixel size was only
calculated on demand, but that's not possible now. In case such
overload is not available, it's possible to pass pixel size manually
as well.
* In order to support the GL format+type pair, Image, ImageView and
Trade::ImageData, there's now an additional untyped formatExtra()
field that holds the second value.
* The CompressedPixelStorage class is now unconditionally available on
all targets, including OpenGL ES and WebGL. However, on OpenGL ES the
GL APIs expect that it's all at default values.
I attempted to preserve backwards compatibility as much as possible:
* The PixelFormat and CompressedPixelFormat enum now contains generic
API-independent values. The GL-specific formats are present there,
but marked as deprecated. Use either the generic values or
GL::PixelFormat (togehter with GL::PixelType) and
GL::CompressedPixelFormat instead. There's a lot of ugliness caused
by this, but seems to work well.
* *Image::type() functions are deprecated as they were too
GL-specific. Use formatExtra() and cast it to GL::PixelType instead.
* Image constructors take templated format or format+extra arguments,
so passing GL-specific values to them should still work.
Forward declarations of templated types don't have named template
parameters and thus Doxygen (sometimes) used these for documentation. It
then looked like this:
Magnum::Math::RectangularMatrix<std::size_t, std::size_t, class>
which isn't helpful at all. After the change it looks like this (much
better):
Magnum::Math::RectangularMatrix<cols, rows, T>
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.
Better API for handling more than one application screens (context
switching, event propagation etc.). Taken from Push The Box, updated to
current coding style and templated.
Provides a way to convert font into different format (either with or
without contents of associated glyph cache) or import/export glyph cache
(i.e. to avoid recreating it from scratch every time).
Implementation is moved into `do*()` private virtual functions, public
interface is doing additional sanity checks around them. Opening files
is by default done in base implementation, which loads the files into
memory and then calls function for opening raw data.
Added interface for opening multi-file fonts from raw data, default
implementation just calls single-file implementation.
Function for creating glyph cache converts the text from UTF-8 to UTF-32
and then calls the implementation, removing the burden from
reimplementing this in each plugin.
Added unit test for file and single data opening, bumped plugin version
to 0.2.
