BorderRadiusCornerClipper usage to clip border radius is specific to
CPU painter so it should not be stored in painting commands.
Also with this change bitmaps for corner sampling are allocated during
painting commands replaying instead of commands recording.
With the recording painter the actual painting operations are delayed,
so now if multiple corner clippers are constructed, and they use a
shared bitmap they can interfere with each other. The use of this shared
bitmap was somewhat questionable anyway, so this is not much of a loss.
This fixes the border-radius.html test page.
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 a simple RAII helper for the BorderRadiusCornerClipper it
samples under the corners on construction, then blits them back
on exiting the scope. This encapsulates a fairly common pattern.
This is a helper class for clipping the corners off a element.
This works in a similar way to how (outline) borders are painted.
The steps are:
1. A small bitmap that fits only the corners is allocated
2. The corners are painted into the bitmap
3. The existing pixels (where the corners will be painted)
are copied using the (inverse) corner bitmap as a mask
(done before the element is painted)
4. The element is painted
5. The areas outside the corner radii are restored
Like with the borders, this only requires allocation on the first
paint.
