And thus also add actual support for finger and pen input, instead of
reporting them as Button::None. Something that needed fixing ever since
the initial implementation in 2014.
I *really* wanted to make a setup where mouse input would be recognized
as such and reported in the app, but wasted the whole day on that and got
only as far as having it recognized as a stylus input with hover (!!!),
when using some Android Desktop image. Not sure if that's some stupid
mislabeling (because middle and right mouse buttons are reported as such)
or it's just the emulation layer being crap.
While at it, I at least added support for hover events. I still have to
document all the newly found warts and hard-to-remember workflows with
getting a simulator running.
4.0 is from 2011, I think it's safe to assume that nobody really needs
support for anything older nowadays. Of course I can add that back if
needed, but I doubt anyone will ask.
A special case here is that the event `state` doesn't yet include the
currently pressed button on press, and still includes the currently
release button on release. Which is the inverse of what the other
toolkits do, and contrary to the docs, so I patch it.
Furthermore, the buttons were originally reported on all input events,
but as the PointerEvent is now fired only when the first ever button is
pressed or the last remaining button is released, it doesn't make sense
to have a PointerEvent::pointers() getter, as it'd return always either
pointer() itself on pressed, or nothing at all on release. So the
pointers() getter is now moved directly to a KeyEvent, PointerMoveEvent
and MouseScrollEvent.
And deprecate WheelDown and WheelUp. Funnily enough a similar change was
done for *all other* applications including now-long-gone implementations
like NaClApplication back in 2a77856df2,
which was 2016!!
Frankly, I was first thinking that I'd just deprecate this thing and not
update it anymore, but it seems there's still a use case for a
lightweight wrapper sitting right on top of system APIs. SDL / GLFW is
too heavy for when one just needs to display stuff or debug GPU issues
for which it isn't clear whether they're the driver's fault or the
tookit's. And WindowlessApplication implementations proved very useful
for this, so I guess a similar windowed application still makes sense,
even if not very featureful. Additionally, for Vulkan I might take a stab
at implementing a WaylandApplication if even just an attempt to
understand how the swapchain works internally, and having an XApplication
available would be handy to compare the behavior.
For the most part is the same as in Sdl2Application, except that here
GLFW already returned floating-point coordinates, which this finally
makes use of.
Pointer events are an unified abstraction over mouse, touch, pen and
potential other yet-to-be-invented pointer-like input methods. Their goal
is to expose all such input methods under a single interface so the
application side doesn't need to explicitly make sure that it's
touch-aware or pen-aware. This abstraction is already present in HTML5,
in Qt6 and in WINAPI as well, and is also what I adopted for the new UI
library because it *just makes sense*.
Unfortunately not even SDL3 took the opportunity to introduce that and
instead added a *third* separate event type for pen input in SDL3. At
first I thought that I wouldn't introduce any extra abstractions in the
Application classes (because that's what they are designed to be, as
lightweight as possible), but midway through introducing TouchEvent
classes and fighting SDL's touch->mouse and mouse->touch compatibility
translation (yes, it's both ways, depending on the platform) I realized
that a much simpler solution that doesn't require any event translation
or the users duplicating their event handling logic for several possible
input types is to introduce a single new event type that covers all.
Which is what this commit does -- it doesn't introduce anything
touch-related so far, just creates a new PointerEvent and
PointerMoveEvent class and corresponding virtual functions. Additionally,
I took this as an opportunity to make the position floating-point, since
that's what SDL3 does now as well, and GLFW did so since ever.
Plus, the Pointer and Pointers enums are directly on the Sdl2Application
class, to allow me to *finally* introduce pointer state queries. Which
weren't possible until now, because there were mutually incompatible
MouseEvent::Button and MouseMoveEvent::Button enums and putting them on
the base class would mean one would have to be translated and the other
not. With Pointer it's translated always, because there isn't any similar
enumeration in SDL that would cover mouse, touch and pen at the same
time.
The distance reported by it is useless for any practical purpose because
it doesn't report a ratio of the current and previous radius between all
points, but rather the distance. Which, well, have fun using for any sort
of zooming.
(And yeah, given that the MultiGestureEvent is gone in SDL3, I spent
quite some time looking at what it actually did in order to reimplement
that functionality on my end, and it felt *extremely weird* to me that it
always considered just that single point, never the others in order to
calculate any sort of radius. This is why, because it never considered
any sort of radius between the points, so the "Multi" in there is highly
questionable!)
So this test is just to make the uselessness easy to verify, nothing
more.
I wanted to add this for GlfwApplication, only to realize the timer there
is a double, in seconds, so accepting *integral* milliseconds there felt
very weird. Let's use the fancy new time types instead.
Also updated the docs to (hopefully) clarify that setSwapInterval() has
to be called in order for the interaction between the two to work
properly.
As usual, the old variant taking untyped milliseconds is a deprecated
alias to this one.
In short this means the users no longer need to care about FindSDL2 etc.,
it'll just get done automatically. They don't need to drag along
FindMagnum / FindCorrade anymore either, but having them gives a much
more reasonable error message if the library cannot be located at all, so
I still recommend having them.
This name isn't known to it at the time it parses the header (because no
such header gets included for it), which in turn causes Doxygen 1.12 to
generate a dummy ::Platform namespace. Which then gets a priority over
Magnum::Platform when linked to, and because it's dummy, it's reported
as an error because it's not allowed to link to undocumented stuff.
And for Sdl2Application print both the keycode and keysym, as the
current way with a keycode seems different from what both GLFW and HTML5
does. But the SDL2 scancode also doesn't feel right because compared to
GLFW and HTML5 it swaps Y and Z on my keyboard. SIGH.
This all looked obviously correct so I never questioned it, but the spec
itself has the order mixed up for an unexplainable reason so it doesn't
match between MouseEvent and MouseMoveEvent.
In the Emscripten build, accepting events in EmscriptenApplication
prevents them from propagating further to the page, such as F1 that
would open a browser help page. That's not the case with SDL as SDL has
no concept of "accepting an event", so just document that in the test
code.
This is what both SDL and GLFW do, so it makes sense to be consistent.
Without it it's also impossible to handle keyboard shortcuts such as
Ctrl-C when editing text, which is rather silly.
Insufficient testing, sorry. This got broken after MAGNUM_TARGET_GLES3
deprecation in 87c7eea1e2, but the stupid
variable name was there before already, and it just worked for some
reason, but when the condition got flipped, setting *minor* version to 2
didn't do the right thing anymore. And of course, typical Emscripten,
it didn't complain at all in either case.
Took me an embarrassingly long time to spot what was wrong.
Originally (2012? 2013?) I expected that there would eventually be
OpenGL ES 4.0, thus it made sense to differentiate between ES2, ES3 and
something else ES yet unknown. But as ES4 was increasingly unlikely to
happen, the internal code treated MAGNUM_TARGET_GLES3 as a simple
inverse of MAGNUM_TARGET_GLES2, and only in a very few places,
only adding confusion.
Thus it's now deprecated and defined as a simple inverse of
MAGNUM_TARGET_GLES2 on MAGNUM_TARGET_GLES builds, and none of the
internal code uses it anymore.
Without this it would fall back to physical DPI, i.e. taken from the
display dimensions. Which sometimes *is* correct, but often isn't what
the users want -- it's common to have a high DPI screen on a laptop
(such as a full HD on a 15.6") but still only use 100% scaling even
though it's a bit tiny. And often it's completely incorrect, depending
on how accidentally misconfigured the system is, and the users won't
even know because almost nothing uses the physical DPI value by default.
