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 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 is messy due to the Paintable and Layout classes being
tangled together.
The RadioButton, CheckBox and ButtonBox classes are now subclasses of
FormAssociatedLabelableNode. This subclass separates these layout nodes
from LabelableNode, which is also the superclass of non-form associated
labelable nodes (Progress).
ButtonPaintable, CheckBoxPaintable and RadioButtonPaintable no longer
call events on DOM nodes directly from their mouse event handlers;
instead, all the functionality is now directly in EventHandler, which
dispatches the related events. handle_mousedown and related methods
return a bool indicating whether the event handling should proceed.
Paintable classes can now return an alternative DOM::Node which should
be the target of the mouse event. Labels use this to indicate that the
labeled control should be the target of the mouse events.
HTMLInputElement put its activation behavior on run_activation_behavior,
which wasn't actually called anywhere and had to be manually called by
other places. We now use activation_behavior which is used by
EventDispatcher.
This commit also brings HTMLInputElement closer to spec by removing the
did_foo functions that did ad-hoc event dispatching and unifies the
behavior under run_input_activation_behavior.
Input events have nothing to do with layout, so let's not send them to
layout nodes.
The job of Paintable starts to become clear. It represents a paintable
item that can be rendered into the viewport, which means it can also
be targeted by the mouse cursor.
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.
