way, without editing the actor's <code class="function">paint()</code>
implementation. Example use cases are:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>Adding a border on top of an actor.</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>Drawing a background for an actor.</p></li></ul></div><p>A quick way to achieve the same thing (though not
readily portable between actors) is to connect a callback
before or after an actor's <span class="emphasis"><em>paint</em></span> signal.
See <a class="link" href="actors-paint-wrappers.html" title="4. Overriding the paint sequence">this recipe</a> for
more details. However, using a <span class="type">ClutterEffect</span>
implementation, as explained in this recipe, is the preferred
approach.</p></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="idm140200506605888"></a>2.2. Solution</h3></div></div></div><p>Create a subclass of the <span class="type">ClutterEffect</span> abstract
class; then implement the <code class="function">pre_paint()</code> and/or
<code class="function">post_paint()</code> virtual functions. When the
effect is applied to an actor, these functions will paint
before and after the actor's own <code class="function">paint()</code>
implementation.</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>For this solution, we implement a simple
<span class="type">CbBackgroundEffect</span> which draws a gray rectangle
under an actor. The full source is in
<a class="link" href="effects-basic.html#effects-basic-example-cbbackgroundeffect" title="2.4.1. CbBackgroundEffect">this
section</a>. To keep it simple, the effect has no properties
and isn't configurable (the background is always gray); see the
<a class="link" href="effects-basic.html#effects-basic-example-cbbordereffect" title="2.4.2. CbBorderEffect">border
effect</a> for a more detailed implementation with GObject
trimmings.</p></div><p>First, create a <span class="type">ClutterEffect</span> subclass. This
requires the trappings of a GObject class; in particular,
it needs a private struct to hold the effect's state. This
should include any <span class="type">CoglMaterials</span>,
<span class="type">CoglColors</span> or other private member variables
you intend to use to draw the effect.</p><p>In the case of the background effect, we have a background
<span class="type">CoglMaterial</span> and a <span class="type">CoglColor</span> for that
material:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">struct _CbBackgroundEffectPrivate
{
CoglMaterial *background;
CoglColor *color;
};</pre></div><p>In the <code class="function">init()</code> function for objects of
your class, create any Cogl resources which you need to draw the
effect. In the case of the background effect,
we need to create the <span class="type">CoglMaterial</span> and
<span class="type">CoglColor</span> for the private struct:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">static void
cb_background_effect_init (CbBackgroundEffect *self)
{
/* get the private struct for the object
CbBackgroundEffectPrivate *priv;
priv = self->priv = CB_BACKGROUND_EFFECT_GET_PRIVATE (self);
/* create the background material */
priv->background = cogl_material_new ();
/* gray color for filling the background material */
priv->color = cogl_color_new ();
cogl_color_init_from_4ub (priv->color, 122, 122, 122, 255);
/* set the color on the material; NB this isn't configurable
* for this effect, and is always gray
*/
cogl_material_set_color (priv->background, priv->color);
}</pre></div><p>Optionally, you can create GObject properties for
the class, if you want a configurable effect: see
<a class="link" href="effects-basic.html#effects-basic-discussion-properties" title="2.3.1. Effect properties">this
section</a> for details.</p><p>The <code class="function">dispose()</code> function for your effect
should clean up any Cogl resources:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">static void
cb_background_effect_dispose (GObject *gobject)
{
CbBackgroundEffectPrivate *priv = CB_BACKGROUND_EFFECT (gobject)->priv;
if (priv->background != COGL_INVALID_HANDLE)
{
cogl_handle_unref (priv->background);
priv->background = COGL_INVALID_HANDLE;
}
if (priv->color != NULL)
{
cogl_color_free (priv->color);
priv->color = NULL;
}
G_OBJECT_CLASS (cb_background_effect_parent_class)->dispose (gobject);
}</pre></div><p>Now, the important part: implement <code class="function">pre_paint()</code>
and/or <code class="function">post_paint()</code>, using Cogl to draw on the
material(s) set up for the effect.</p><p>For the background effect, we implement <code class="function">pre_paint()</code>,
to draw a gray rectangle under the actor:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">/* note that if pre_paint() returns FALSE
* any post_paint() defined for the effect will not be called
*/
static gboolean
cb_background_effect_pre_paint (ClutterEffect *self)
{
ClutterActor *actor;
gfloat width;
gfloat height;
CbBackgroundEffectPrivate *priv;
priv = CB_BACKGROUND_EFFECT (self)->priv;
/* get the associated actor's dimensions */
actor = clutter_actor_meta_get_actor (CLUTTER_ACTOR_META (self));
clutter_actor_get_size (actor, &width, &height);
/* draw a Cogl rectangle in the background using the default color */
cogl_set_source (priv->background);
/* the rectangle has the same dimensions as the actor */
cogl_rectangle (0, 0, width, height);
return TRUE;
}</pre></div><p>Now, in the <code class="function">init()</code> function for the
effect <span class="emphasis"><em>class</em></span>, assign your implementations to the
virtual methods of the <span class="type">ClutterEffect</span> abstract class:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">static void
cb_background_effect_class_init (CbBackgroundEffectClass *klass)
{
ClutterEffectClass *effect_class = CLUTTER_EFFECT_CLASS (klass);
GObjectClass *gobject_class = G_OBJECT_CLASS (klass);
effect_class->pre_paint = cb_background_effect_pre_paint;
gobject_class->dispose = cb_background_effect_dispose;
g_type_class_add_private (klass, sizeof (CbBackgroundEffectPrivate));
}</pre></div><p>If you intend to make your effect reusable, provide
a public constructor (as is done for the example effects in this
recipe):</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">ClutterEffect *
cb_background_effect_new ()
{
return g_object_new (CB_TYPE_BACKGROUND_EFFECT,
NULL);
}</pre></div><p>The effect is now ready to be used. The application code
for applying your effect to an actor is the same as for any
other effect:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">ClutterActor *texture;
ClutterEffect *background_effect;
/* ...initialize texture, load image file etc... */
/* create a gray background effect */
background_effect = cb_background_effect_new ();
/* apply the effect to the actor */
clutter_actor_add_effect (texture, background_effect);</pre></div><p>Below is an example of applying this effect to a texture loaded
with an image; the image has a transparent background, so the
background is visible through it. The screenshot is from
the <a class="link" href="effects-basic.html#effects-basic-example-5" title="Example 9.6. Application which applies CbBorderEffect and CbBackgroundEffect to a group of ClutterTextures.">example
application</a>:</p><div class="screenshot"><div class="mediaobject"><img src="images/effects-basic-background.png" alt="Applying CbBackgroundEffect to a texture loaded with an image that has a transparent background"></div></div></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="idm140200506569200"></a>2.3. Discussion</h3></div></div></div><p>A basic <span class="type">ClutterEffect</span> is particularly useful for
amending the appearance of an actor on the fly: for example,
to highlight an actor in response to a button presses. This
<span class="emphasis"><em>could</em></span> be done by creating a custom widget
whose appearance could be toggled. But what if you wanted to make
an arbitrary actor's appearance "togglable"? A generic effect
in the style of the border effect in this recipe can be applied
to any actor, and easily toggled by enabling/disabling the
effect.</p><p><span class="type">ClutterEffect</span> works best where
you want to overlay or underlay the actor with Cogl paths or
primitives, without changing the actor's geometry. If you want
to do complicated geometry transformations, or other subtle
manipulations of an actor's appearance, it is better to use
a <span class="type">ClutterEffect</span> subclass like
<span class="type">ClutterOffscreenEffect</span>, <span class="type">ClutterDeformEffect</span>,
or <span class="type">ClutterShaderEffect</span>.</p><p>In a similar vein, when a <span class="type">ClutterEffect</span> is
applied to an actor, the effect shouldn't paint outside the actor's
allocation. However, if the effect provides a
<code class="function">get_paint_volume()</code> implementation which
returns a volume larger than the actor's allocation, the effect
<span class="emphasis"><em>can</em></span> paint anywhere within that volume. Though
in most cases, creating a custom paint volume is only going to be
useful for offscreen effects, where you are changing the
actor's geometry.</p><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="effects-basic-discussion-properties"></a>2.3.1. Effect properties</h4></div></div></div><p>If your effect has GObject properties, you should
ensure that an actor associated with the effect is queued
for a redraw when those properties change. (You only need to
do this for properties which change the effect's appearance;
but this is likely to include most of an effect's properties.)</p><p>In most cases, you're likely define standard GObject
properties for the class; for example,
<a class="link" href="effects-basic.html#effects-basic-example-2" title="Example 9.3. cb-background-effect.c (code file)"><span class="type">CbBorderEffect</span></a>
defines a <code class="varname">width</code> property like this:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">static void
cb_border_effect_class_init (CbBorderEffectClass *klass)
{
GObjectClass *gobject_class = G_OBJECT_CLASS (klass);
GParamSpec *pspec;
/* ...more class initialization code here... */
pspec = g_param_spec_float ("width",
"Width",
"The width of the border (in pixels)",
1.0, 100.0,
10.0,
G_PARAM_READWRITE);
obj_props[PROP_WIDTH] = pspec;
g_object_class_install_property (gobject_class, PROP_WIDTH, pspec);
/* ...more property definitions...*/
}</pre></div><p>It also defines a standard GObject
<code class="function">set_property()</code> function for
<code class="varname">width</code>:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">static void
cb_border_effect_set_property (GObject *gobject,
guint prop_id,
const GValue *value,
GParamSpec *pspec)
{
CbBorderEffect *effect = CB_BORDER_EFFECT (gobject);
switch (prop_id)
{
/* ...other cases here ... */
case PROP_WIDTH:
cb_border_effect_set_width (effect, g_value_get_float (value));
break;
/* ...default case ... */
}
}</pre></div><p>Note that this calls
<code class="function">cb_border_effect_set_width()</code>, which is
also exposed in the public API. This is where the
<code class="varname">width</code> member variable is actually set in
the private struct; and also where the redraw for the actor
associated with the effect should be queued:</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting">/* queues a redraw of the actor associated with the effect, if there is one */
static void
cb_border_effect_update (CbBorderEffect *self)
{
ClutterActor *actor = clutter_actor_meta_get_actor (CLUTTER_ACTOR_META (self));
/* this guard is necessary as an effect's properties can be manipulated
* before it has an actor associated with it
*/
if (actor != NULL)
clutter_actor_queue_redraw (actor);
}
/* public setter for the width property, which calls the update function */
void
cb_border_effect_set_width (CbBorderEffect *self,
gfloat width)

priv->width = width;
/* the property has been updated, so queue a redraw of the actor (if set) */
cb_border_effect_update (self);
}</pre></div><p>Any other property setters which affect the associated
actor's appearance (i.e. color in the case of
<span class="type">CbBorderEffect</span>) should also call the update
function after setting the property.</p><div class="tip" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Tip</h3><p>If your effect exposes GObject properties in this way,
it can also be animated with the Clutter animation API as usual.

so that the border gradually becomes thinner or thicker.</p></div></div></div><div class="section"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="effects-basic-example"></a>2.4. Full example</h3></div></div></div><p>The example application applies two effects to a
