This then calls a method inside our custom \l WaylandOutput + class, which appends the \l ShellSurface to a \l{ListModel}. + + \snippet pure-qml/qml/CompositorScreen.qml handleShellSurface + + This model is used as the source for a \l Repeater which creates + \l{ShellSurfaceItem}{ShellSurfaceItems} inside the compositor's \l WaylandOutput. This adds a + view of the surface in the Qt Quick scene. Since it is a \l{ShellSurfaceItem}, it also has + certain interaction options for the user of the compositor, depending on which shell extension + is in use. + + \snippet pure-qml/qml/CompositorScreen.qml repeater + + \section1 Keyboard + + In addition to the basic windowing system functions, the Pure QML compositor also supports an + optional on-screen keyboard running in-process. This uses the \l{Qt Virtual Keyboard} module, + and will be enabled if the module is available. + + \snippet pure-qml/qml/Keyboard.qml keyboard + + The code is simple. We instantiate an \l InputPanel in the bottom of the output, and make sure + it is visible if and only if it is currently active. + + \snippet pure-qml/qml/CompositorScreen.qml keyboard + + The keyboard is then added to the \l WaylandOutput using a \l Loader element. The \l Loader is + used here to avoid having a hard dependency on the \l{Qt Virtual Keyboard} module. If loading + fails, then the compositor will continue operating normally, but without support for an + on-screen keyboard. + + Finally, we need a way for the compositor to communicate the text input to its clients. This + is done via a \c{text-input} extension. The Pure QML example only supports the + \c{qt_text_input_method_unstable_v1} protocol. + + \snippet pure-qml/qml/main.qml text input + + The extension is added to the compositor by instantiating the \l QtTextInputMethodManager as + a child of the \l{WaylandCompositor}. + + In order for the on-screen keyboard to work, this protocol must also be supported by the client. + Therefore, the \l QtTextInputMethodManager is most useful if the clients are also Qt + applications. + + \note Qt also supports \l{TextInputManager}, which is an implementation of the + \c{text_input_unstable_v2} protocol. + + \section1 Transitions + + In addition to the basic functionality, the Pure QML example also demonstrates animated + transitions between states. + + The first of these is the \e{activation} transition. This is only supported on the \l{XdgShell}, + since this is the only shell extension which has an \l{XdgTopLevel::activated}{activated} state. + + \snippet pure-qml/qml/Chrome.qml activation + + When a client window becomes activated under the \l XdgShell protocol, we trigger an animation + which makes the window "pop out" for 200 ms. + + The Pure QML compositor also supports a \e{destruction} animation. This triggers whenever the + window closes and surface is destroyed, whether this was because the client gracefully closed + its window, or even if it crashes. + + \snippet pure-qml/qml/Chrome.qml destruction + + To ensure that the content exists for the duration of the animation, we start by locking the + buffer. This means the final frame rendered by the client will remain in memory until we are + done with it. + + Again, we trigger an animation on the scale of the item. The animation in question imitates + turning off the power on a CRT screen, giving a visual clue to the user that the window is + closing, and didn't just vanish into thin air. + + Any sort of animated effect may be used for state changes such as these, with the full range + of Qt Quick at your disposal. */ diff --git a/examples/wayland/pure-qml/qml/Chrome.qml b/examples/wayland/pure-qml/qml/Chrome.qml index d9ff038c..201fa524 100644 --- a/examples/wayland/pure-qml/qml/Chrome.qml +++ b/examples/wayland/pure-qml/qml/Chrome.qml @@ -58,11 +58,25 @@ ShellSurfaceItem { signal destroyAnimationFinished + // ![destruction] onSurfaceDestroyed: { bufferLocked = true; destroyAnimation.start(); } + SequentialAnimation { + id: destroyAnimation + + ParallelAnimation { + NumberAnimation { target: scaleTransform; property: "yScale"; to: 2/height; duration: 150 } + NumberAnimation { target: scaleTransform; property: "xScale"; to: 0.4; duration: 150 } + NumberAnimation { target: chrome; property: "opacity"; to: chrome.isChild ? 0 : 1; duration: 150 } + } + NumberAnimation { target: scaleTransform; property: "xScale"; to: 0; duration: 150 } + ScriptAction { script: destroyAnimationFinished() } + } + // ![destruction] + transform: [ Scale { id: scaleTransform @@ -71,6 +85,7 @@ ShellSurfaceItem { } ] + // ![activation] Connections { target: shellSurface.toplevel !== undefined ? shellSurface.toplevel : null @@ -85,18 +100,6 @@ ShellSurfaceItem { } SequentialAnimation { - id: destroyAnimation - - ParallelAnimation { - NumberAnimation { target: scaleTransform; property: "yScale"; to: 2/height; duration: 150 } - NumberAnimation { target: scaleTransform; property: "xScale"; to: 0.4; duration: 150 } - NumberAnimation { target: chrome; property: "opacity"; to: chrome.isChild ? 0 : 1; duration: 150 } - } - NumberAnimation { target: scaleTransform; property: "xScale"; to: 0; duration: 150 } - ScriptAction { script: destroyAnimationFinished() } - } - - SequentialAnimation { id: receivedFocusAnimation ParallelAnimation { @@ -108,4 +111,5 @@ ShellSurfaceItem { NumberAnimation { target: scaleTransform; property: "xScale"; to: 1; duration: 100; easing.type: Easing.InOutQuad } } } + // ![activation] } diff --git a/examples/wayland/pure-qml/qml/CompositorScreen.qml b/examples/wayland/pure-qml/qml/CompositorScreen.qml index 79dee6a2..ba61f205 100644 --- a/examples/wayland/pure-qml/qml/CompositorScreen.qml +++ b/examples/wayland/pure-qml/qml/CompositorScreen.qml @@ -58,9 +58,11 @@ WaylandOutput { property ListModel shellSurfaces: ListModel {} property bool isNestedCompositor: Qt.platform.pluginName.startsWith("wayland") || Qt.platform.pluginName === "xcb" + // ![handleShellSurface] function handleShellSurface(shellSurface) { shellSurfaces.append({shellSurface: shellSurface}); } + // ![handleShellSurface] // During development, it can be useful to start the compositor inside X11 or // another Wayland compositor.
