Since Evas still relies entirely on Image_Entry and Evas_GL_Image,
we will need an engine-specific wrapper object creating a Buffer
around an existing cached image.
Currently only SW support is implemented. GL will be more fun to
do (with glReadPixels and whatnot).
The objective of this patch is to propose a standardized
format for pixel buffers to use within Ector and Evas.
The basic EO API provided here is not meant to be the
fastest path for all operations, simply the most convenient
to generalize. Performance will be achieved by implementing
(or porting) custom draw functions.
This implements support for:
- Generic pixel buffers
- Generic buffer renderer to draw images with ector
- Software engine pixel buffers, ie. malloc buffers
- Software buffer renderer
Cairo support has not been implemented yet.
The only renderer is still extremely limited, as it does not
support Fill modes, Scaling, etc... yet.
Not a single line from this patch has been tested yet.
It compiles. That's pretty damn good for a start!
