This is a first approximation of correct handling of arbitrarily
clipped frames described by the incoming fragment.
It's still relying on the _checked() put_pixel variants for
clipping. That should probably be improved by constraining the
loops to the clipped fragment edges.
|
|
Also wire this up to the til_module_context_new() helper and
all its callers.
This is in preparation for modules doing more correct delta-T
derived animation.

- modules now allocate their contexts using
til_module_context_new() instead of [cm]alloc().
- modules simply embed til_module_context_t at the start of their
respective private context structs, if they do anything with
contexts
- modules that do nothing with contexts (lack a create_context()
method), will now *always* get a til_module_context_t supplied
to their other methods regardless of their create_context()
presence. So even if you don't have a create_context(), your
prepare_frame() and/or render_fragment() methods can still
access seed and n_cpus from within the til_module_context_t
passed in as context, *always*.
- modules that *do* have a create_context() method, implying they
have their own private context type, will have to cast the
til_module_context_t supplied to the other methods to their
private context type. By embedding the til_module_context_t at
the *start* of their private context struct, a simple cast is
all that's needed. If it's placed somewhere else, more
annoying container_of() style macros are needed - this is
strongly discouraged, just put it at the start of struct.
- til_module_create_context() now takes n_cpus, which may be set
to 0 for automatically assigning the number of threads in its
place. Any non-zero value is treated as an explicit n_cpus,
primarily intended for setting it to 1 for single-threaded
contexts necessary when embedded within an already-threaded
composite module.
- modules like montage which open-coded a single-threaded render
are now using the same til_module_render_fragment() as
everything else, since til_module_create_context() is accepting
n_cpus.
- til_module_create_context() now produces a real type, not void
*, that is til_module_context_t *. All the other module
context functions now operate on this type, and since
til_module_context_t.module tracks the module this context
relates to, those functions no longer require both the module
and context be passed in. This is especially helpful for
compositing modules which do a lot of module context creation
and destruction; the module handle is now only needed to create
the contexts. Everything else operating on that context only
needs the single context pointer, not module+context pairs,
which was unnecessarily annoying.
- if your module's context can be destroyed with a simple free(),
without any deeper knowledge or freeing of nested pointers, you
can now simply omit destroy_context() altogether. When
destroy_context() is missing, til_module_context_free() will
automatically use libc's free() on the pointer returned from
your create_context() (or on the pointer that was automatically
created if you omitted create_context() too, for the
bare til_module_context_t that got created on your behalf
anyways).
For the most part, these changes don't affect module creation.
In some ways this eases module creation by making it more
convenient access seed and n_cpus if you had no further
requirement for a context struct.
In other ways it's slightly annoying to have to do type-casts
when you're working with your own context type, since before it
was all void* and didn't require casts when assigning to your
typed context variables.
The elimination for requiring a destroy_context() method in
simple free() of private context scenarios removes some
boilerplate in simple cases.
I think it's a wash for module writers, or maybe a slight win for
the simple cases.

I don't think rototiller is an appropriate place for being so
uncooperative, if someone gets the case wrong anywhere just make
it work. We should avoid making different things so subtly
different that case alone is the distinction anyways, so I don't
see this creating any future namespace collision problems.

A bunch of these have just been done

I didn't like the too fast spins where you can't even really get
a read on what's going on in the shape.
Suspect this will get tweaked more in the future...

This is kind of experimental, not sure how I feel about it.
pinch=0..1 with a bunch of fractions, 0 disables it.
pinch_spin=-1..1 same as spin=
pinches=1..10 number of pinches, which come in pairs
This applies to all the current shapes, for a tour:
--module=rtv,channels=shapes,duration=2,context_duration=2,snow_module=none --defaults
I think the speeds might go to high atm, I kind of liked the
slower spins before all this more.

scale=1-.5 with a few other fractions in between
Mostly added for the sake of rtv/compose where modules currently
always go full-frame, which can be really annoying sometimes for
shapes without any variety in the scale.
When checkers starts filling cells using modules like shapes,
it'll be interesting to see how this fares there since it'll
probably be randomizing the settings too. At least floored at
50% should still produce something legible in /most/ of the
checkers cell sizes. Definitely won't look like anything in the
smaller end of the checkers sizes though... hrm.

Introduces spin={-1,0,1} with a few intermediate fractions on
both sides of 0. Controls rate and direction.
As-is these multiple choice style options don't let you
explicitly set a value in rototiller on the commandline that
isn't in the set.
There should probably be a flag in the desc we can set when
bypassing the available options is tolerable, probably when
regex's start getting enforced.
That way rototiller's commandline setting parsing can just lean
on the regex, and if the desc says anything can come in that
passes the regex even if it's not in the values set, this can all
still work and have something resembling input validation.
At the end of the day, the multiple choice value sets are
supposed to be a convenience/guide to a sane variety of values
and of particular utility to randomizers like used by
rtv/montage/compose, but also GUI setting selectors like in
glimmer.
They're not intended to get in the way preventing development
from accessing explicit values of arbitrary precision which can
be really necessary especially when trying to determine what's
best for going in the values set.

Replace the hard-coded 5 points with a points=3-20 setting
Nothing fancy going on here
|
|
- clear padding when {letter,pillar}boxed
- limit costly rendering to shape size area when boxed
- fix <= inclusion tests in circle and rhombus: s/<=/</

In the recent surge of ADD-style rtv+compose focused development,
a bunch of modules were changed to randomize initial states at
context_create() so they wouldn't be so repetitive.
But the way this was done in a way that made it impossible to
suppress the randomized initial state, which sometimes may be
desirable in compositions. Imagine for instance something like
the checkers module, rendering one module in the odd cells, and
another module into the even cells. Imagine if these modules are
actually the same, but if checkers used one seed for all the odd
cells and another seed for all the even cells. If the modules
used actually utilized the seed provided, checkers would be able
to differentiate the odd from even by seeding them differently
even when the modules are the same.
This commit is a step in that direction, but rototiller and all
the composite modules (rtv,compose,montage) are simply passing
rand() as the seeds. Also none of the modules have yet been
modified to actually make use of these seeds.
Subsequent commits will update modules to seed their
pseudo-randomized initial state from the seed value rather than
always calling things like rand() themselves.

Mostly for compositing purposes, here will be a corpus of 2D
shapes, parameterized/procedurally generated and able to rotate
and perhaps have other dynamics added.
What shapes are there presently I had started implementing in
checkers as "styles", before realizing they really should just be
a separate module checkers can call into.
Not terribly interesting by itself, but as blinds and checkers
demonstrated, these things deliver a lot of value in
compositional situations. They're creating the palette to draw
from.
