The hierarchy leak was particularly troublesome to fix, but now the
hierarchies get updated (and freed) automatically just by removing the
hierarchy reference component from the entity. I suspect there will be
issues with entities that are on multiple hierarchies, but I'll sort
that out later.
Instead of creating new entities for the text views. This approximately
halves the number of entities required to display flowed text, but also
tests the ability to have an entity in multiple hierarchies (the goal of
the ECS component and system changes).
This means that the component id used for hierarchy references must be
passed to Hierarchy_New and Hierarchy_Copy, but does all an entity to
have more than one hierarchy, which is useful for canvases (hierarchies
of views) in the 3d world (the canvas root would have a 3d hierarchy
reference and a 2d (view) hierarchy reference).
The separation now uses height above (right of) the base line, and depth
below (left of) the base line. This puts the text exactly where I want
it, but there's still the problem of uneven line spacing caused by
descenders and ascenders. However, I suspect that's more up to the
text/font handling code to get the boxes right (maybe set spaces to have
the right dimensions?).
The main problem was the confusion about the coordinates within a single
glyph, and thus the glyphs position within the view's box. With this,
flowed text works fairly well except for some issues with spacing
between lines (which I think is due to the flow code not having been
tested with offset boxes).
It should have always been here, but when I first created the hierarchy
and transform objects, I didn't know where things would go. Having two
chunks of code for setting an entity's parent was too already too much,
and I expect to have other hierarchy types. Doesn't fix the issues
encountered with sbar, of course.
I'm not particularly happy with the way onresize is handled, but at this
stage a better way of dealing with resizing views and getting the child
views to flow correctly hasn't come to mind. However, the system should
at least be usable.
Much of the nq/qw HUD system is quite broken, but the basic status bar
seems to be working nicely. As is the console (both client and server).
Possibly the biggest benefit is separating the rendering of HUD elements
from the updating of them, and much less traversing of invisible views
whose only purpose is to control the positioning of the visible views.
The view flow tests are currently disabled until I adapt the flow code
to ECS.
There seems to be a problem with view resizing in that some gravities
don't follow resizing correctly.
Adjusting the size of the parent (container) view to the views it
contains will be useful for automatic layout and knowing how large the
view is for scrolling. New tests added so testing both with and without
the option is still possible.
This should be suitable for laying out text objects with word-wrap,
where each view is a "word" or break between "words". This should be
useful for any other objects that could benefit from similar layout
rules. All eight flows are supported left-right-top-down (English and
most European languages), right-left-top-down (Arabic and similar),
top-down-right-left (Chinese, Japanese, Korean), top-down-left-right,
as well as bottom-up variants of those four.
More work is needed for support of things like views being centered on
the flow line rather than on one edge (depends on flow direction),
offset views, and others. Suppression of "spaces" at the beginning of a
line is supported but not tested.
view_new sets the geometry, but any setgeometry that need a valid data
pointer would get null. It might be better to always have the data
pointer, but I didn't feel like doing such a change at this stage as
there are quite a lot of calls to view_new. Thus view_new_data which
sets the data pointer before calling setgeometry.
And use it for hud_scoreboard_gravity. Putting the enum def in view made
the most sense as view does own the base type and the enum is likely to
be by useful for other settings.
One moves and resizes the view in one operation as a bit of an
optimization as moving and resizing both update any child views, and
this does only one update.
The other sets the gravity and updates any child views as their
absolute positions would change as well as the updated view's absolute
position.
