[PATCH weston 4/8] protocol: crop & scale RFC v3

From: Pekka Paalanen <ppaalanen at gmail.com>

Add cropping and scaling to wl_surface.

Add a global factory interface wl_scaler, which creates
wl_scaler_surface objects tied to a given wl_surface. The
wl_scaler_surface object can be used to set a cropping and scaling
transformation to change how a wl_buffer maps to wl_surface contents.

Changes in v2:

Take into account buffer_transform and buffer_scale, and try to explain
more clearly how the coordinate transformations work and what their
order is. Add, that crop and scale state is double-buffered. Explain
missing dst_x, dst_y.  Clarify that undefined content still is some
content, but NULL buffer implies no content nor size.

Changes in v3:

Disallow zero values for dst_width and dst_height.

Open issues:

Should this be a separate interface like here, or just a wl_surface
request?

If we keep this as a separate interface, rename wl_surface_scaler to
wl_viewport.

+    <description summary="crop and scale interface to a wl_surface">
+      An additional interface to a wl_surface object, which allows the
+      client to specify the cropping and scaling of the surface
+      contents.
+
+      This interface allows to define the source rectangle (src_x,
+      src_y, src_width, src_height) from where to take the wl_buffer
+      contents, and scale that to destination size (dst_width,
+      dst_height). This state is double-buffered, and is applied on the
+      next wl_surface.commit.
+
+      Before the first set request, the wl_surface still behaves as if
+      there was no crop and scale state. That is, no scaling is applied,
+      and the surface size is as defined in wl_surface.attach.
+
+      The crop and scale state causes the surface size to become
+      dst_width, dst_height. This overrides whatever the attached
+      wl_buffer size is, unless the wl_buffer is NULL. If the wl_buffer is
+      NULL, the surface has no content and therefore no size.
+
+      The coordinate transformations from buffer pixel coordinates up to
+      the surface-local coordinates happen in the following order:
+        1. buffer_transform (wl_surface.set_buffer_transform)
+        2. buffer_scale (wl_surface.set_buffer_scale)
+        3. crop and scale (wl_surface_scaler.set)
+      This means, that the source rectangle coordinates of crop and scale
+      are given in the coordinates after the buffer transform and scale,
+      i.e. in the coordinates that would be the surface-local coordinates
+      if the crop and scale was not applied.
+
+      If the source rectangle is partially or completely outside of the
+      wl_buffer, then the surface contents are undefined (not void), and
+      the surface size is still dst_width, dst_height.
+
+      The x, y arguments of wl_surface.attach are applied as normal to
+      the surface. They indicate how many pixels to remove from the
+      surface size from the left and the top. In other words, they are
+      still in the surface-local coordinate system, just like dst_width
+      and dst_height are.
+
+      If the wl_surface associated with the wl_surface_scaler is
+      destroyed, the wl_surface_scaler object becomes inert.
+
+      If the wl_surface_scaler object is destroyed, the crop and scale
+      state is removed from the wl_surface. The change will be applied
+      on the next wl_surface.commit.
