Dirty marking and rendering
|
|
|
|
Chalk organizes layers in the form of a tree, with a grouplayer at the root:
|
|
|
|
group1 == image->rootLayer()
|
|
layer2
|
|
layer3
|
|
layer4
|
|
group2
|
|
layer6
|
|
layer7
|
|
adjustmentlayer 1
|
|
layer9
|
|
group3
|
|
adjustmentlayer 2
|
|
layer10
|
|
layer11
|
|
group4
|
|
layer12
|
|
layer13
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this example, group1 is the rootlayer; layer13 is group3 is shown topmost
|
|
in the layerbox, with group4 right under that, and layer13 is the "highest"
|
|
paint layer in the complete tree.
|
|
|
|
Compositing
|
|
|
|
At every group level, a projection layer caches the result of compositing
|
|
the layerstack in a projection paint device. The cached projection is then
|
|
composited with the layers of that level, etc, until everything is composited
|
|
onto the projection or the root layer. The image does _not_ have a projection
|
|
anymore.
|
|
|
|
We composite from layer2 downwards onto the projection of rootLayer, group1.

Dirty marking
|
|
|
|
In order to do the least possible amount of work (which is very important,
|
|
especially with large amounts of layers and adjustment layers), we keep track
|
|
of which layer is dirty. Groups without dirty layers are not recomposited; this
|
|
dirtiness of course travels upwards, meaning that the rootlayer will always be
|
|
dirty.
|
|
|
|
XXX: Should we keep a structure with dirty rects for every layer, so we
|
|
can determine whether the changed rect in a layer is actually in the area
|
|
we are recompositing? I don't think so, since we should always try to keep
|
|
|
|
Adjustment layers also keep a copy of the result of their work; if in group 2,
|
|
layer 9 is adjusted, we do not want to composite layer 6 and 7 and filter the
|
|
result through adjustmentlayer 1; we want to composite the changes in layer 9
|
|
directly onto the cached result of the adjustment layer. |
