Turns out that there isn't a strong OpenGL naming convention for "Delete" ...
WGL offers "wglDeleteContext" but the GLX equivalent is "glxDestroyContext"
and then EGL sealed the deal by going with Destroy as well! Since it matches
SDL3 naming conventions (Create/Destroy), we're renaming it.
Fixes#10197.
SDL_Surface has been simplified and internal details are no longer in the public structure.
The `format` member of SDL_Surface is now an enumerated pixel format value. You can get the full details of the pixel format by calling `SDL_GetPixelFormatDetails(surface->format)`. You can get the palette associated with the surface by calling SDL_GetSurfacePalette(). You can get the clip rectangle by calling SDL_GetSurfaceClipRect().
SDL_PixelFormat has been renamed SDL_PixelFormatDetails and just describes the pixel format, it does not include a palette for indexed pixel types.
SDL_PixelFormatEnum has been renamed SDL_PixelFormat and is used instead of Uint32 for API functions that refer to pixel format by enumerated value.
SDL_MapRGB(), SDL_MapRGBA(), SDL_GetRGB(), and SDL_GetRGBA() take an optional palette parameter for indexed color lookups.
The result of SDL_RaiseWindow is ultimately subject to window manager policy, particularly if the request would result in stealing focus from another window. Document that this is only a request, and if successful, will result in a focus gained event along with the input focus flag being set on the window.
I didn't add a note to SDL_DestroyWindow() because we actually protect against this case now, but it's useful information to know conceptually when working with the renderer.
This was added to SDL2 for the Unreal Engine's implementation of menus and dialogs on X11, window types for which SDL3 has added built-in, cross-platform support.
Remove this function, as it was only ever implemented for X11 and is now basically useless aside from allowing annoying or malicious client apps to discretely steal focus. As the documentation states: "You almost certainly want SDL_RaiseWindow() instead of this function."
This declares that any `const char *` returned from SDL is owned by SDL, and
promises to be valid _at least_ until the next time the event queue runs, or
SDL_Quit() is called, even if the thing that owns the string gets destroyed
or changed before then.
This is noted in the headers as "the SDL_GetStringRule", so this will both be
greppable to find a detailed explaination in docs/README-strings.md and
wikiheaders will automatically turn it into a link we can point at the
appropriate documentation.
Fixes#9902.
(and several FIXMEs, both known and yet-undocumented.)
This extends the display scaling mode to be global and work in terms of pixels everywhere, with the content scale value set on displays. The per-window property had some issues, and has been removed in favor of retaining only the global hint that changes all coordinates to pixel values, sets the content scale on the displays, and generally makes the Wayland backend behave similarly to Win32 or X11.
Some additional work was needed to fix cases where displays can appear to overlap, since Wayland desktops are always described in logical coordinates, and attempting to adjust the display positions so that they don't overlap can get very ugly in all but the simplest cases, as large gaps between displays can result.
Queries the "panel orientation" property on the connector and reports it in degrees of clockwise rotation via the 'SDL.display.KMSDRM.panel_orientation' display property.
This is provided by the kernel as a hint to userspace applications, and the application itself is ultimately responsible for any required coordinate transformations needed to conform to the requested orientation.
- Adds support for modal windows to Win32, Mac, and Haiku, and enhances functionality on Wayland and X11, which previous set only the parent window, but not the modal state.
- Windows can be declared modal at creation time, and the modal state can be toggled at any time via SDL_SetWindowModalFor() (tested with UE5 through sdl2-compat).
- Allows dynamic unparenting/reparenting of windows.
- Includes a modal window test.
The idea is that if you have a `typedef Uint32 MyFlags` that has a bunch of
defines that are meant to be bitflags, you can pack them into the same wiki
page automatically.
This only works with `typedef`s that are _not_ struct/union/enums, and it
only pulls in `#define` lines that immediately follow the typedef line.
Even a blank line or a comment will signal to stop including lines for
this page!
This is just stuff I noticed while working on the wikiheaders updates. A
thorough pass over all the docs would not be terrible, and maybe a simple
script to check for consistency (does everything have a `\since` on it? etc)
might be nice, too.
Add the xdg-foreign-unstable-v2 protocol and use it to create export handles for toplevel windows, which will be used when an external component, such as the file chooser portal, requires it.
This better reflects how HDR content is actually used, e.g. most content is in the SDR range, with specular highlights and bright details beyond the SDR range, in the HDR headroom.
This more closely matches how HDR is handled on Apple platforms, as EDR.
This also greatly simplifies application code which no longer has to think about color scaling. SDR content is rendered at the appropriate brightness automatically, and HDR content is scaled to the correct range for the display HDR headroom.
Renamed the following property define names to have a type suffix to
match other property names.
SDL_PROP_TEXTURE_OPENGL_TEXTURE_TARGET (number)
SDL_PROP_TEXTURE_OPENGLES2_TEXTURE_TARGET (number)
SDL_PROP_WINDOW_CREATE_WAYLAND_SCALE_TO_DISPLAY (boolean)
SDL_PROP_WINDOW_RENDERER (pointer)
SDL_PROP_WINDOW_TEXTUREDATA (pointer)
Add a mode that forces Wayland windows to output with scaling that forces 1:1 pixel mapping.
This is intended to allow legacy applications to be displayed without desktop scaling being applied, and may have issues with some display configurations, as this forces the window to behave in a way that Wayland desktops were not designed to accommodate (rounding errors can result from certain combinations of window/scale values, the window may be unusably small, jump in size at times, or appear to be larger than the desktop space, and cursor precision may be reduced).
Windows flagged as DPI-aware are not affected by this.
The automated video test suite passes with the hint turned on.
Add the ability to import and wrap external surfaces from external toolkits such as Qt and GTK.
Wayland surfaces and windows are more intrinsically tied to the client library than other windowing systems, so it is necessary to provide a way to initialize SDL with an existing wl_display object, which needs to be set prior to video system initialization, or export the internal SDL wl_display object for use by external applications or toolkits. For this, the global property SDL_PROPERTY_GLOBAL_VIDEO_WAYLAND_WL_DISPLAY_POINTER is used.
A Wayland example was added to testnative, and a basic example of Qt 6 interoperation is provided in the Wayland readme to demonstrate the use of external windows with both SDL owning the wl_display, and an external toolkit owning it.
Allow for the creation of SDL windows with a roleless surface that applications can use for their own purposes, such as with a windowing protocol other than XDG toplevel.
The property `wayland.surface_role_custom` will create a window with a surface that SDL can render to and handles input for, but is not associated with a toplevel window, so applications can use it for their own, custom purposes (e.g. wlr_layer_shell).
A test/minimal example is included in tests/testwaylandcustom.c
A Wayland registry object can only have one listener attached at a time, so an application attempting to use the backend SDL registry object for its own purposes will just result in an error. Remove this property, as it is of no use to applications and will only result in errors.
If an application needs the registry, it needs to get the wl_display object via `SDL.window.wayland.display` and use wl_display_get_registry() to create a new registry object that it can attach its own listeners to.
