Instead, we now pass String if we have one. In particular, this fixes an
issue where image elements with a data: URL src would copy the entire
URL string every time we painted (before the image had been decoded).
This was very noticeable on "fully downloaded" web pages where every
single image has been turned into a data: URL.
This modification introduces a new layer to the painting process. The
stacking context traversal no longer immediately calls the
Gfx::Painter methods. Instead, it writes serialized painting commands
into newly introduced RecordingPainter. Created list of commands is
executed later to produce resulting bitmap.
Producing painting command list will make it easier to add new
optimizations:
- It's simpler to check if the painting result is not visible in the
viewport at the command level rather than during stacking context
traversal.
- Run painting in a separate thread. The painting thread can process
serialized painting commands, while the main thread can work on the
next paintable tree and safely invalidate the previous one.
- As we consider GPU-accelerated painting support, it would be easier
to back each painting command rather than constructing an alternative
for the entire Gfx::Painter API.
This commit removes DeprecatedString's "null" state, and replaces all
its users with one of the following:
- A normal, empty DeprecatedString
- Optional<DeprecatedString>
Note that null states of DeprecatedFlyString/StringView/etc are *not*
affected by this commit. However, DeprecatedString::empty() is now
considered equal to a null StringView.
In general it is not safe to convert any arbitrary floating-point value
to CSSPixels. CSSPixels has a resolution of 0.015625, which for small
values (e.g. scale factors between 0 and 1), can produce bad results
if converted to CSSPixels then scaled back up. In the worst case values
can underflow to zero and produce incorrect results.
Although DistinctNumeric, which is supposed to abstract the underlying
type, was used to represent CSSPixels, we have a whole bunch of places
in the layout code that assume CSSPixels::value() returns a
floating-point type. This assumption makes it difficult to replace the
underlying type in CSSPixels with a non-floating type.
To make it easier to transition CSSPixels to fixed-point math, one step
we can take is to prevent access to the underlying type using value()
and instead use explicit conversions with the to_float(), to_double(),
and to_int() methods.
This makes it possible to set a pseudo-element as the inspected node
using Document::set_inspected_node(), Document then provides
inspected_layout_node() for the painting related functions.
These markers are rendered as equilateral triangles pointing right and
down respectively. As we currently don't implement writing-mode the
closed marker does not respect it.
This fixes a plethora of rounding problems on many websites.
In the future, we may want to replace this with fixed-point arithmetic
(bug #18566) for performance (and consistency with other engines),
but in the meantime this makes the web look a bit better. :^)
There's a lot more things that could be converted to doubles, which
would reduce the amount of casting necessary in this patch.
We can do that incrementally, however.
This now uses the current font (rather than the painter's default)
and scales it correctly. This is not perfect though as just naviely
doing .draw_text() here does not follow the proper text layout logic
so this is misaligned (by a pixel or two) with the text in the <li>.
This simplifies the ownership model between DOM/layout/paint nodes
immensely by deferring to the garbage collector for figuring out what's
live and what's not.
This fixes a few sizing issues too. The page size is now correct in most
cases! \o/
We get to remove some of the `to_type<>()` shenanigans, though it
reappears in some other places.
This commit moves both the ImageStyleValue and LinearGradientStyleValue
to a common base class of AbstractImageStyleValue. This abstracts
getting the natural_width/height, loading/resolving, and painting
the image.
Now for 'free' you get:
- Linear gradients working with the various background sizing/repeat
properties.
- Linear gradients working as list-markers :^) -- best feature ever!
P.s. This commit is a little large as it's tricky to make this change
incrementally without breaking things.
This patch adds a bunch of Paintable subclasses, each corresponding to
the Layout::Node subclasses that had a paint() override. All painting
logic is moved from layout nodes into their corresponding paintables.
Paintables are now created by asking a Layout::Box to produce one:
static NonnullOwnPtr<Paintable> Layout::Box::create_paintable()
Note that inline nodes still have their painting logic. Since they
are not boxes, and all paintables have a corresponding box, we'll need
to come up with some other solution for them.
