Detailed Description

A client "window".

In the context of Wayland, surfaces can be thought of as analogous to "application windows." Each surface possesses attributes including position, size, buffer, input region, opaque region, damage region, and a designated role. Clients are responsible for rendering the content of their windows onto a buffer and subsequently transmitting it to the compositor, which is then displayed on the screen.

Roles

Surfaces on their own lack functionality. This is where roles come into play, as they establish the guidelines for how the compositor interacts with them, dictating their ordering, positioning, geometry interpretation, and more.
Louvre currently implements the following roles:

LCursorRole (derived from the Wayland protocol)
LDNDIconRole (derived from the Wayland protocol)
LSubsurfaceRole (derived from the Wayland protocol)
LPopupRole (derived from the XDG Shell protocol)
LToplevelRole (derived from the XDG Shell protocol)
LSessionLockRole (derived from the Session Lock protocol)
LLayerRole (derived from the Layer Shell protocol)

The surface's role can be accessed using the role() method or, if you already know the role in advance or wish to verify whether it matches one of them, through the dedicated functions: cursorRole(), dndIcon(), popup(), toplevel(), subsurface(), etc.
Typically, once a role is assigned, it remains consistent throughout the surface's entire lifecycle.
You have the option to monitor changes in the surface's role by utilizing the roleChanged() event.
To create additional roles beyond those offered by the library you can use the LBaseSurfaceRole class.

Mapping

In order to render a surface, several conditions must be met, such as having an assigned role and a non-null buffer().
To determine if a surface is renderable, you can use the mapped() property. This property is false when the client wants to hide it through some rule of its role, or when the necessary conditions for it to be rendered are not met.

Callbacks

To ensure that surfaces don't update their content more frequently than the refresh rate of the output (LOutput) they are displayed on, or in scenarios where they are obscured by other surfaces, callbacks are employed. Clients generate a callback resource and await the compositor's acknowledgment, signaling an optimal time to render the subsequent surface frame. To acknowledge the callback of a surface, use requestNextFrame().

Warning: Calling requestNextFrame() clears the current damage region of the surface.

Buffer

The library automatically converts the surface's buffer into an object that can be used by the selected renderer.
Since the library currently only offers OpenGL ES 2.0 renderer, the buffer is converted to an OpenGL texture that can be accessed with texture().
It is also possible to access the native Wayland resource of the buffer with bufferResource().

Damage

To avoid the compositor redrawing the entire area of a surface on each frame, clients notify which regions have changed on their buffers, known as damage. You can access this region with damage() or damageB() and be notified when it changes with the damageChanged() event.

Note: The default implementation of LOutput::paintGL() does not take into account the damage of surfaces, and therefore it renders in an inefficient way. It's recommended to use the LScene and LView system for rendering, which efficiently repaints only what is necessary during each frame. If you want to see an example of efficient rendering, check the louvre-views or louvre-weston-clone examples.

Order

Louvre maintains a list to keep track of all surfaces created by clients, which can be accessed via LCompositor::surfaces().
This list adheres to the Z-axis order as defined by the protocols of their respective roles.
Surfaces are always assigned a layer, which is controlled by their role. Both the surfaces list and layers maintain the same order.
Surfaces are assigned to a layer as follows:

Background Layer: Only LLayerRole surfaces can be in this layer, usually used by clients to display wallpapers.
Bottom Layer: Only LLayerRole surfaces can be in this layer, some clients use it to display top bars.
Middle Layer: Default layer for surfaces with no role, for non-fullscreen LToplevelRole surfaces, and LSessionLockRole surfaces.
Top Layer: For fullscreen LToplevelRole and LLayerRole surfaces.
Overlay Layer: LCursorRole, LDNDIconRole, LPopupRole, and LLayerRole surfaces are displayed in this layer.

Note: LSubsurfaceRole and transient LToplevelRole surfaces are always assigned the same layer as their parent surface.

It is possible to modify the order of surfaces within a layer using the raise() method, this will normally also raise other surfaces such as subsurfaces.
You can receive notifications when the order changes by implementing the orderChanged() and layerChanged() virtual methods.
Use prevSurface() and nextSurface() to get the surface behind or on top of the current surface. Keep in mind that these functions may return nullptr if a surface is at the beginning or end of the LCompositor::surfaces() list.
Surfaces are thought to be rendered in the order they appear in the list. The first surfaces should be located in the background, while the last ones should be in the foreground.

Note: If you want to use a different ordering, you could leverage the LCompositor factory constructor/destructor respectively to listen for when clients create or destroy a surface.

Position

One of the characteristics of Wayland is that clients have very little information and control over how their surfaces are positioned on the screen.
For this reason, the rules of their roles generally define it based on an offset relative to another surface, an output or a position given by you.
Louvre simplifies this by allowing you to assign the position of the surfaces with setPos() and access the position suggested by its role with rolePos().
In some cases, such as in the LPopupRole or LSubsurfaceRole role, the position set with setPos() is not taken into account.
You can see the positioning rules of each role in detail by viewing the documentation of rolePos() for each one.

Default implementation

void LSurface::mappingChanged()
{
    compositor()->repaintAllOutputs();
 
    LOutput *activeOutput { cursor()->output() };
 
    if (!activeOutput)
        return;
 
    /* If the surface is a toplevel, we place it at the center of the screen */
    if (mapped() && toplevel())
    {
        const LSize size {
            toplevel()->windowGeometry().size()
            + LSize(toplevel()->extraGeometry().left + toplevel()->extraGeometry().right,
                    toplevel()->extraGeometry().top + toplevel()->extraGeometry().bottom)
        };
 
        const LSize availGeoPos { activeOutput->pos() + activeOutput->availableGeometry().pos() };
 
        setPos(availGeoPos + (activeOutput->availableGeometry().size() - size) / 2);
 
        if (pos().y() < availGeoPos.y())
            setY(availGeoPos.y());
    }
}

◆ bufferScaleChanged()

virtual void bufferScaleChanged ( )

virtual

Notifies a change in buffer scale.

Reimplement this virtual method if you want to be notified when the surface's buffer scale changes.

Default Implementation

void LSurface::bufferScaleChanged()
{
    repaintOutputs();
}

◆ bufferTransformChanged()

virtual void bufferTransformChanged ( )

virtual

Notifies a change of the buffer transform.

Reimplement this virtual method if you want to be notified when the surface's buffer transform changes.

Default Implementation

void LSurface::bufferTransformChanged()
{
    repaintOutputs();
}

◆ bufferSizeChanged()

virtual void bufferSizeChanged ( )

virtual

Notifies a change in buffer dimensions.

Reimplement this virtual method if you want to be notified when the buffer size (sizeB()) changes.

Default Implementation

void LSurface::bufferSizeChanged()
{
    repaintOutputs();
}

◆ sizeChanged()

virtual void sizeChanged ( )

virtual

Notifies a change in the surface size.

Reimplement this virtual method if you want to be notified when the surface size() changes.

Note: This event differs from bufferSizeChanged(). The surface size() may change when the client applies a different scale factor, transform or sets a custom destination size while using the Viewport protocol.

Default Implementation

void LSurface::sizeChanged()
{
    repaintOutputs();
}

◆ srcRectChanged()

virtual void srcRectChanged ( )

virtual

Notifies a change in the src rect.

Reimplement this virtual method if you want to be notified when srcRect() changes.

Default Implementation

void LSurface::srcRectChanged()
{
    repaintOutputs();
}

◆ opaqueRegionChanged()

virtual void opaqueRegionChanged ( )

virtual

Notifies of a change in the opaque region.

Reimplement this virtual method if you wish to be notified when the surface changes its opaque region.

Default Implementation

void LSurface::opaqueRegionChanged()
{
    repaintOutputs();
}

◆ inputRegionChanged()

virtual void inputRegionChanged ( )

virtual

Notifies of a change in the input region.

Reimplement this virtual method if you want to be notified when the surface changes its input region.

Default Implementation

void LSurface::inputRegionChanged()
{
    /* No default implementation */
}

◆ orderChanged()

virtual void orderChanged ( )

virtual

Notifies when the surface changes its position in the surfaces list.

Override this virtual method if you wish to be informed about changes in the order of the surface within the compositor's list of surfaces.

Default Implementation

void LSurface::orderChanged()
{
    repaintOutputs();
}

◆ requestedRepaint()

virtual void requestedRepaint ( )

virtual

Request a repaint of the surface.

This request can be initiated either by the library or by the client, serving as an explicit command to repaint the surface.

Default Implementation

void LSurface::requestedRepaint()
{
    repaintOutputs();
}

◆ minimizedChanged()

virtual void minimizedChanged ( )

virtual

Notifies about changes in the minimized state of the surface.

This method is called to signal changes in the minimized state of the surface.

Default Implementation

void LSurface::minimizedChanged()
{
    repaintOutputs();
}

◆ preferVSyncChanged()

virtual void preferVSyncChanged ( )

virtual

Notifies about changes in the VSync preference.

This event is triggered when the preferVSync() property changes.

Default Implementation

void LSurface::preferVSyncChanged()
{
    /* No default implementation */
}

◆ contentTypeChanged()

virtual void contentTypeChanged ( )

virtual

Notifies a change of content type.

This event is triggered when the contentType() property changes.

Default Implementation

void LSurface::contentTypeChanged()
{
    /* No default implementation */
}

◆ layerChanged()

virtual void layerChanged ( )

virtual

Notified a c.

This event is triggered when the layer() property changes.

Default Implementation

void LSurface::layerChanged()
{
    repaintOutputs();
}
