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 works with two concepts: the source rectangle (src_x, src_y, src_width, src_height), and the destination size (dst_width, dst_height). The contents of the source rectangle are scaled to the destination size, and content outside the source rectangle is ignored. This state is double-buffered, see wl_surface.commit.

The two parts of crop and scale state are independent: the source rectangle, and the destination size. Initially both are unset, that is, no scaling is applied. The whole of the current wl_buffer is used as the source, and the surface size is as defined in wl_surface.attach.

If the destination size is set, it causes the surface size to become dst_width, dst_height. The source (rectangle) is scaled to exactly this size. 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. Otherwise, the size is always at least 1x1 in surface local coordinates.

If the source rectangle is set, it defines what area of the wl_buffer is taken as the source. If the source rectangle is set and the destination size is not set, then src_width and src_height must be integers, and the surface size becomes the source rectangle size. This results in cropping without scaling. If src_width or src_height are not integers and destination size is not set, the bad_size protocol error is raised when the surface state is applied.

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 (wp_viewport.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 src_x or src_y are negative, the bad_value protocol error is raised. Otherwise, if the source rectangle is partially or completely outside of the non-NULL wl_buffer, then the out_of_buffer protocol error is raised when the surface state is applied. A NULL wl_buffer does not raise the out_of_buffer error.

If the wl_surface associated with the wp_viewport is destroyed, all wp_viewport requests except ‘destroy’ raise the protocol error no_surface.

If the wp_viewport 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.
