This fixes all our GObject Introspection issues with GimpUnit which was
both an enum and an int-derived type of user-defined units *completing*
the enum values. GIR clearly didn't like this!
Now GimpUnit is a proper class and units are unique objects, allowing to
compare them with an identity test (i.e. `unit == gimp_unit_pixel ()`
tells us if unit is the pixel unit or not), which makes it easy to use,
just like with int, yet adding also methods, making for nicer
introspected API.
As an aside, this also fixes#10738, by having all the built-in units
retrievable even if libgimpbase had not been properly initialized with
gimp_base_init().
I haven't checked in details how GIR works to introspect, but it looks
like it loads the library to inspect and runs functions, hence
triggering some CRITICALS because virtual methods (supposed to be
initialized with gimp_base_init() run by libgimp) are not set. This new
code won't trigger any critical because the vtable method are now not
necessary, at least for all built-in units.
Note that GimpUnit is still in libgimpbase. It could have been moved to
libgimp in order to avoid any virtual method table (since we need to
keep core and libgimp side's units in sync, PDB is required), but too
many libgimpwidgets widgets were already using GimpUnit. And technically
most of GimpUnit logic doesn't require PDB (only the creation/sync
part). This is one of the reasons why user-created GimpUnit list is
handled and stored differently from other types of objects.
Globally this simplifies the code a lot too and we don't need separate
implementations of various utils for core and libgimp, which means less
prone to errors.
Resolves#10992.
GimpTextLayer's color attribute was
updated from GimpRGB to GeglColor,
but gimp-text-layer-set-color still passed
in GimpRGB. This patch updates the PDB
call to match the property type.
One of the big improvement in this commit is that text layers are now much
better at space accuracy. They were already space-aware, yet rendered as sRGB u8
only before being converted to the image's space. It means that text layers had
the following limitations:
* Any color out of sRGB gamut were trimmed.
* Precision was always 8-bit (even if the image was high-bit depth).
Now GimpTextLayout keeps track of its source space (for RGB and CMYK only, this
won't be as easy when we will support more backend, since Cairo has only RGB
support for image data) and the image TRC (in case it bypasses the color space's
TRB) and it draws within this gamut and space.
It means first that we are not limited to sRGB colors; we will draw text main
color in the full image gamut, with still 2 remaining limitations:
* Unbounded colors are impossible because Pango format (to color text) uses
hexadecimal (so even with half/float images, you can't draw out-of-gamut text
unfortunately).
* Main color precision is still 8-bit, yet a tiny bit better than before as we
at least follow TRC (so we avoid some of the precision loss when converting,
even though the bit-depth is still the biggest loss).
The outline color on the other hand is drawn through Cairo API entirely, in
float. This means that the outline color will now be without any precision loss.
Note that this depends on CAIRO_FORMAT_RGBA128F which is only available since
Cairo 1.17.2 which is not in Debian bookworm (our current baseline for GIMP
3.0). It means that the old precision will still happen with older Cairo
version, as determined by #if code at compilation.
This function is not perfect and in particular doesn't seem usable with binding
because of GimpUnit being some weird mix between an enum and some kind of class.
So this will have to be fixed too. See #8900.
… function gimp_font_get_pango_font_description().
Also updating file-pdf-save which is the only plug-in using these right now.
Note that I am not fully happy with the new function
gimp_font_get_pango_font_description() because I experienced some weird behavior
in file-pdf-save which is that some fonts were wrong if this is called after
pango_cairo_font_map_set_resolution().
But let's say this is a first step looking for improvements.
Now text layers are proper types, which means that the binding API will also be
nicer (e.g. `txt_layer.set_text('hello world')` in Python).
This commit also adds the param specs allowing to create plug-in procedures with
text layer parameters.
Finally it fixes the few calls in file-pdf-save (apparently the only plug-in
using specific text layer API right now) with explicit type conversion.
This complements the existing text_layer_get_markup function and allows
scripts to create and modify complex text layers.
It adds the <markup> root tag if it was not supplied and will run the
markup through pango_parse_markup() to check for errors.
Reviewer's (Jehan) note: this is a mostly untouched patch contributed in #534,
except that code moved around. I also fixed the header set in the .pdb, a link
to pango markup docs and added the meson changes.
By default the new API will be used. But if we build with
GIMP_DEPRECATED_REPLACE_NEW_API macro, then the same function names will
call the old API with ids.
This way, we don't have to update all our plug-ins at once (which I
tried and is very tedious work).
Note that bindings won't have access to the deprecated API at all.
This means that all functions which were returning or taking as
parameter an image id (as gint32) are now taking a GimpImage object
instead.
The PDB is still passing around an id only over the wire. But we create
an object for plug-ins to work on.
This is quite a huge API break, but is probably the best bet for the
future quality. It will make nicer API instrospection (and nicer API in
binding), will fix the issues with pspec on GimpImageID in Python
bindings (which makes the current Python API unusable as soon as we need
to work on images, which is most of our plug-ins!), etc.
Also it will allow to use signals on images, which will be a great asset
when we will finally have bi-directionnal communications (i.e. plug-ins
would be able to connect to image changes, destructions, and whatnot).
