25 /// \page Renderer_intro Render handler introduction
27 /// Information for writing new render handlers.
29 /// The most important thing about drawing Flash shapes is to understand how
30 /// their fill styles work.
31 /// A single Flash character can contain any number shapes that use any number
32 /// of different fill styles and line styles. The shapes of a character are
33 /// defined by a number of "paths". Some important things about paths:
35 /// - A path is a list of connected straight lines and (quadratic bezier)
36 /// curves (=edges). Interesting to note is that in the Flash world there are
37 /// *no* primitive objects like circles, rectangles or similar. These objects
38 /// are always translated to lines and curves (a circle is a set of eight
41 /// - All paths together must by definition always build a fully closed shape.
42 /// You can't draw a rectangle with three edges, for example, contrary to
43 /// most graphics library polygon routines that connect the last anchor to
44 /// the first. However, a *single* path does *not* have to be closed. The
45 /// missing parts may be defined by other paths (you will see this makes
48 /// - Each path has up to two fill styles and no or one line style. The line
49 /// style should be obvious. The two fill styles define the fill to the left
50 /// (fill style zero) and to the right (fill style one) of the path if you
51 /// think of it like a vector. The fill style is defined by a index to a
52 /// list of previously defined fill style definitions. Index 0 means "no
53 /// style" and is equal to a fully transparent fill style ("hole", if you
56 /// - Paths are *never* self-intersecting.
58 /// Simple examples to understand this concept:
60 /// - A rectangle that contains another rectangle. Only the area between the
61 /// two rectangles is filled (so it looks like a "o"). In this case Flash
62 /// fill create two paths (one for each rectangle) and one fill style.
63 /// Assume both paths come in clockwise order, then the outer rectangle
64 /// will have fillstyle0=0 and fillstyle1=1. The inner rectangle will have
65 /// fillstyle0=1 and fillstyle1=0.

88 /// Flash will probably produce three paths (A,B,C) and two fill styles.
89 /// Paths "A" and "B" will have just one fill style (fillstyle1 will be
90 /// zero) while path "C" (which contains only one straight line!!) will
91 /// have two fill styles. To be exact the horizontal edges would not even
92 /// be necessary to render this shape (for a scanline based renderer) but
93 /// they are necessary then the character is about to be rotated.
95 /// Now, these are simple examples but complex graphics can be compressed very
96 /// efficiently this way. Also, this method was most probably intended for a
97 /// renderer engine that can produce the final character in just one pass
98 /// (like the AGG backend does too).
101 /// \page region_update Detection of updated regions
103 /// (this applies to the whole Gnash playback architecture)
105 /// After advancing the root movie (see gnash::Gui::advance_movie) it is checked
106 /// which region of the stage has been changed visibly (by computing the
107 /// bounds around updated characters). This has two advantages:
109 /// 1st, it allows a renderer/gui combination to avoid re-rendering of
110 /// unchanged parts in the scene. When supported by the rendering engine
111 /// this can be a huge performance gain. The original Flash player does
112 /// that too, btw. Altough he is able to define multiple smaller regions
113 /// for one frame. This could be implemented in Gnash, too.
115 /// 2nd, it can detect still frames (like a stopped movie). gui.cpp can
116 /// detect these and completely avoid calling any rendering function.
118 /// Of course, the most critical part is detection of changes. There is a
119 /// method gnash::character::set_invalidated() which gets called whenever a
120 /// critical property of a instance gets updated, like when it changes
121 /// position, for example.
122 /// It's really important to *always* call set_invalidated() *before*
123 /// any call that changes the character instance in a visible way.
125 /// Even if no renderer really uses this information it has effects when
126 /// skipping unchanged frames. If necessary, this feature can be switched
127 /// off easily in gui.cpp (maybe using a runtime option?).
129 /// Note the updated region is only passed to the gnash::Gui, which is itself
130 /// responsible of informing the renderer (see gnash::Gui::set_invalidated_region).
131 /// This is because it's pointless
132 /// to have a renderer which updates only a small part of the stage when
133 /// the GUI shows it all since the area around the region is undefined.
134 /// However, there can be a GUI which supports update regions without needing
135 /// the renderer to do so (for example, to save time during blitting).
136 /// The GUI can also completely ignore the region information.
138 /// It's also importanto to note that the bounds passed to the GUI are just
139 /// a hint and the GUI /is/ allowed to further process and alter the information
142 /// As for the integer/float discussion: I used SWFRect (floats) because all
143 /// the bounds calculation involves floats anyway and so it's probably
144 /// faster than converting between ints and floats all the way.
