An overview can also be found in the the wiki: * https://wiki.mozilla.org/Gecko:Overview#Graphics * * * # Main interfaces and abstractions * * - Layer, ShadowableLayer and LayerComposite * (see Layers.h and ipc/ShadowLayers.h) * - CompositableClient and CompositableHost * (client/CompositableClient.h composite/CompositableHost.h) * - TextureClient and TextureHost * (client/TextureClient.h composite/TextureHost.h) * - TextureSource * (composite/TextureHost.h) * - Forwarders * (ipc/CompositableForwarder.h ipc/ShadowLayers.h) * - Compositor * (this file) * - IPDL protocols * (.ipdl files under the gfx/layers/ipc directory) * * The *Client and Shadowable* classes are always used on the content thread. * Forwarders are always used on the content thread. * The *Host and Shadow* classes are always used on the compositor thread. * Compositors, TextureSource, and Effects are always used on the compositor * thread. * Most enums and constants are declared in LayersTypes.h and CompositorTypes.h. * * * # Texture transfer * * Most layer classes own a Compositable plus some extra information like * transforms and clip rects. They are platform independent. * Compositable classes manipulate Texture objects and are reponsible for * things like tiling, buffer rotation or double buffering. Compositables * are also platform-independent. Examples of compositable classes are: * - ImageClient * - CanvasClient * - ContentHost * - etc. * Texture classes (TextureClient and TextureHost) are thin abstractions over * platform-dependent texture memory. They are maniplulated by compositables * and don't know about buffer rotations and such. The purposes of TextureClient * and TextureHost are to synchronize, serialize and deserialize texture data. * TextureHosts provide access to TextureSources that are views on the * Texture data providing the necessary api for Compositor backend to composite * them. * * Compositable and Texture clients and hosts are created using factory methods. * They should only be created by using their constructor in exceptional * circumstances. The factory methods are located: * TextureClient - CompositableClient::CreateTextureClient * TextureHost - TextureHost::CreateTextureHost, which calls a * platform-specific function, e.g., CreateTextureHostOGL * CompositableClient - in the appropriate subclass, e.g., * CanvasClient::CreateCanvasClient * CompositableHost - CompositableHost::Create * * * # IPDL * * If off-main-thread compositing (OMTC) is enabled, compositing is performed * in a dedicated thread. In some setups compositing happens in a dedicated * process. Documentation may refer to either the compositor thread or the * compositor process. * See explanations in ShadowLayers.h. * * * # Backend implementations * * Compositor backends like OpenGL or flavours of D3D live in their own directory * under gfx/layers/. To add a new backend, implement at least the following * interfaces: * - Compositor (ex. CompositorOGL) * - TextureHost (ex. SharedTextureHostOGL) * Depending on the type of data that needs to be serialized, you may need to * add specific TextureClient implementations. */ class gfxContext; class nsIWidget; struct gfxMatrix; struct nsIntSize; namespace mozilla { namespace gfx { class Matrix4x4; } namespace layers { struct Effect; struct EffectChain; class Image; class ISurfaceAllocator; class NewTextureSource; class DataTextureSource; class CompositingRenderTarget; enum SurfaceInitMode { INIT_MODE_NONE, INIT_MODE_CLEAR, INIT_MODE_COPY }; /** * Common interface for compositor backends. * * Compositor provides a cross-platform interface to a set of operations for * compositing quads.
