[PATCH wayland-protocols v4 7/7] xdg-shell: Introduce xdg_positioner

Fri Jun 24 06:47:34 UTC 2016
xdg_positioner is a method for declarative positioning of child surfaces
(currently only xdg_popup surfaces). A client creates a description of a
positioning logic using the xdg_positioner interface. The xdg_positioner
object is then used when creating a xdg_popup for describing how the
child surface should be positioned in relation to the parent surface.

Changes since v3:
- Allow combining slide_x/y and flip_x/y enums, while explaining the order of
adjustments.
- Reworded the non-immediate effect of the configure event (the same as
xdg-surface generic split update)

+ <description summary="child surface positioner">
+ The xdg_positioner provides an interface for constructing positioning
+ rules used for positioning a child surface relative to a parent surface
+ in a certain way. It allows methods for defining a rule that will make
+ the child surface stay within the border of the visible area of the
+ screen, with different ways in which the child surface should change
+ its position, including sliding along an axis, or flipping around a
+ rectangle.
+
+ See the various requests for details about possible rules.
+
+ Semantically, an xdg_positioner is a collection of positioning rules. When
+ used for positioning a surface, for example when passed as an argument to
+ xdg_surface.get_popup, the compositor copies the rules that were set up at
+ the time of the request. Making any changes or destroying the object after
+ it was used has no effect on previous usages.
+
+ For an xdg_positioner object to be considered complete, it must have a
+ non-zero size set by set_size, and a non-zero anchor rectangle set by
+ set_anchor_rect. Passing an incomplete xdg_positioner object when
+ positioning a surface raises an error.
