When blurring an RGBA buffer to the output buffer,
we don't need to convert the colorspace... but then we'll just
override what was already there.
Introduce a 'dirty' flag set to true whenever a command writes
to an output buffer.
Use two optimizable functions for BOX blur: vertical and horizontal.
These functions will run as many times as requested (from 1 to 6 max).
The horizontal case is pretty straightforward as the source is already
contiguous (nice in terms of cache hits). The only catch is to swap
src and dst without ever writing to the input buffer.
In case of vertical blur, we apply the same method as above, after
rotating the column into a horizontal (contiguous) span, and rotating
it back afterwards.
Now, the same needs to be done for RGBA :)
BOX blur is a lot faster (and easier to optimize, too)
than GAUSSIAN blur. Repeating 2x or 3x BOX blur will also
give similar results to GAUSSIAN blur (very smooth), but
in much less time.
Add a count parameter to the BOX blur instruction.
Actually, there is a very nice trick with BOX blur.
Pass BOX blur 3 times and you can approximate a GAUSSIAN
blur with up to 3% accuracy. This is way more than enough
for just a simple graphical effect.
So, despite the crappy quality of BOX blur, we should
optimize it a lot so we can replace large GAUSSIAN blurs
with series of BOX blurs instead.

This commit also moves around some duplicated definitions.
When a blur operation requires a copy-back to the source
buffer, then the render_op must be set to COPY instead of
BLEND. Otherwise the non blurred content will be visible.
@fix
According to cedric's horrified comment :)
And add a comment in the code. Yes, this IS a temporary solution,
but the GL engineS being what they are (tons of duplicated code),
I think it's still better for now to just make things work.
Make use of glReadPixel to access the source's pixel data.
Use all classic CPU functions to blend and use that data.
Save pointer to the GL image and update it with the latest data
during target render.
Use ENFN's surface_lock, read_pixels, unlock.
Also, add some more error checks to make sure the images are valid,
or return an error at runtime.
This will inform the client whether an asynchronous filter properly
rendered or not.
I actually don't know any case where rendering can fail at runtime.
The structure should not be changed, despite the union modification.
I am renaming for consistency with older branches that had a mask
field in RGBA_Image. Also, the mask.data or data8 is really just
a way to avoid casting between DATA8 and DATA32 (and it shows
clearly what kind of data you are dealing with).
It was possible to keep negative values for dx,dy which would
then draw pixels out of bounds (= crash).
Make check crashed after the previous commit.
@fix
If the filters fail to render at runtime (that is, parsing went fine
but a command failed to run properly), fallback to normal rendering.
This should prevent text from disappearing when using proxies and
the OpenGL engine (for now).
In some situations, text with filters would be rendered in an invalid
position (somewhere too high).
I am not entirely sure of the reason why the original code with BLEND
doesn't work, but this new version is simpler as GL and SW have more
similar behaviours:
- render text to our 'output' buffer
- draw this buffer as an image onto the set target
Thanks zmike for reporting the issue.
And thanks A LOT for using the filters :D

If a text object changes regularily, there might be cases where
the object will be rendered as a simple black rectangle for just
one frame.
It seems that the previous output buffer is deleted before being
actually rendered on screen. This patch will delay the deletion
of the previous buffer until the current one has been rendered
to the target surface.
And again, thanks zmike for reporting.

A CRItical message was always displayed when setting a filter
on a text object, saying that proxy rendering is not supported on GL.
Reduce CRI to ERR and skip proxy rendering altogether if there are
no proxy sources.
This @fix needs to be backported.
Thanks zmike for reporting this.

In Doxygen format, write the reference documentation for the filters.
It will contain a few examples only, should serve more as a reference
just like edcref.
This is for the script language itself, not for the Eo APIs or the
internal APIs (those are already documented).
Also, remove globals A, R, G, B from parser.c... these are
temp variables used in a macro.
My CFLAGS didn't include -Wshadow so I missed those.
Thanks Tom for spotting :)
Well, proxy sources are rendered to a... GL texture! But we
actually want the image pixels. So we'll need to call glReadPixels
to get them.
Yes, it will be horribly slow. But there isn't really a way around.
This will require a new internal API. For now, just disable the
feature. Hopefully I can make it work soon enough for the release?
In async mode, the filter runs in the render thread, so can't
allocate buffers on the fly.
This case should not happen, unless maybe a source has a null
size (eg. it's invisible and not properly rendered).
Proxy sources & objects were not properly unset.
This results either in crashes (especially in the Edje tests)
or dangling objects with tons of references.
Remove the refcount increase/decrease, as it is redundant.
Store pairs proxy+source instead of just the source in all hashes,
so we can unset the is_proxy flag on the proxy when there are no
sources anymore.
Remove compilation warnings: we don't really need cubic
interpolation at this point, we can still add it back
later if wanted.
Also, make it clear that buffer #2 is the output buffer.
Remove meaningless FIXME.
This patch implements the final draw from RGBA_Image to the
OpenGL surface. We can even steal the output buffer and
redraw it quickly, without having to re-render everything
(same as in SW).
Since the filters will have to decide on which engine (SW, GL) to
choose from to render the font and the effects, move the font
draw call inside the filters module.
Quick and dirty solution to support the OpenGL engine:
[1] Allocate CPU buffers
[2] Render text and process all effects to these buffers
[3] Push final image as an OpenGL texture.
This patch implements [1].
It is not possible to logically handle padding and offset at the same
time for a proper mirror effect, unless this is handled directly at the
transformation level.
Also, add support for blend() operation padding computation.
This is the simplest solution I can come up with for "mirror" effects.
Displacement maps are HARD to generate and use properly, since the buffer
size is unknown until runtime.
Even if we align the map to the text itself (using the padding information),
it's still hard to describe properly how to apply the displacement map, and
to generate it... So let's just add a simple flip operation.
The displacement effect is way too complicated. Let's keep it
simple and have only one displacement map format (RG + Alpha).
Here's what's missing now:
- Alpha support, to blend in the input with a variable intensity
- Extra padding (see below)
Also, the intensity VS. map values are not perfectly defined yet.
Problems: How to create a complete mirror effect (map needs to go
over boundaries... add extra padding to the buffers).
This is the first possible optimization: save the rendered
text (since we already have the output buffer anyways), and
reuse it if the text + filter didn't change.
Add parameters l, r, t, b to clip the fill area.
While l=x and t=y, the width and height of the clip are determined
at filter run-time, since we don't know the buffer size before.
Brutal method for now: allocate YET ANOTHER buffer,
render scaled image to it (smooth scaling, oh yeah),
use this as a new mask.
For now, supports:
Alpha Input, RGBA mask, RGBA output, X,Y,XY stretching
malloc() and mmap() don't return empty buffers, so blending on top
will present tons of artifacts.
Visible mostly on very small buffers as they are malloc()'ed from
previously used memory segments.
evas_filter.c contains the entry points for the evas filters subsystem,
in particular, the filter API, the (yet very basic) buffer management
system, the command queue and main context handling functions.
Right now, the Evas engine is left untouched, so these implementations
will work ONLY in the software engine.
NOTE: This will not compile on its own (thus, not added to Makefile.am),
as it will require the filter implementations to be linked.
