Starting with version 2 of the protocol, the client is required to wait
for the 'bound_ok' or 'bound_fail' events in order to proceed further.
In case the client gets a 'bound_fail' event then it should consider that
there's another client already bound to the agl_shell protocol.
A client that receives a 'bound_ok' event should consider that there's
no other client already bound to the interface and can proceed further.
If the client uses an older version of the protocol it will receive
automatically an error and the compositor will terminate the connection,
if there's another client already bound the interface.
If the client receives the 'bound_fail' event and attempts to use the
interface further it will receive an error and the compositor will
terminate the connection. After the 'bound_fail' event was received the
client should call the destructor, which has been added with version 2
of the protocol. The client is free to try at a later point in time to
see if it will receive the 'bound_ok' event, but there's no explicit way
of finding out when that event will be delivered.
It is assumed that it can infer that information through other
means/other channels.
Tell the server that this client is ready to be shown. The server
will delay presentation during start-up until all shell clients are
ready to be shown, and will display a black screen instead.
This gives the client an opportunity to set up and configure several
surfaces into a coherent interface.
The client that binds to this interface must send this request, otherwise
they may stall the compositor unnecessarily.
If this request is called after the compositor has already finished
start-up, no operation is performed.
Set the surface to act as the background of an output. After this
request, the server will immediately send a configure event with
the dimensions the client should use to cover the entire output.
The surface must have a "desktop" surface role, as supported by
libweston-desktop.
Only a single surface may be the background for any output. If a
background surface already exists, a protocol error is raised.
Set the surface to act as a panel of an output. The 'edge' argument
says what edge of the output the surface will be anchored to.
After this request, the server will send a configure event with the
corresponding width/height that the client should use, and 0 for the
other dimension. E.g. if the edge is 'top', the width will be the
output's width, and the height will be 0.
The surface must have a "desktop" surface role, as supported by
libweston-desktop.
The compositor will take the panel's window geometry into account when
positioning other windows, so the panels are not covered.
XXX: What happens if e.g. both top and left are used at the same time?
Who gets to have the corner?
Only a single surface may be the panel for an output's edge. If a
surface already exists on an edge, a protocol error is raised.
Ask the compositor to make a toplevel to become the current/focused
window for window management purposes.
See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a
description of app_id.
If multiple toplevels have the same app_id, the result is unspecified.
XXX: Do we need feedback to say it didn't work? (e.g. client does
not exist)
Informs the client that it was able to bind the agl_shell
interface succesfully. Clients are required to wait for this
event before continuing further.
Informs the client that binding to the agl_shell interface was
unsuccesfull. Clients are required to wait for this event for
continuing further.
Informs the client that an application has changed its state to another,
specified by the app_state enum. Client can use this event to track
current application state. For instance to know when the application has
started, or when terminated/stopped.
A hint for the compositor to use a custom area, rather than
inferring the activation area. If any panels are used
the compositor computes the activation area by subtracting the
panels geometry area. If no panels are used then the entire output
is being used. This request changes that as to hint the compositor
to use the supplied rectangle and ignore any potential panels
that might been set-up previously.
In order for this request to take effect it will need to happen
before the 'ready' request in order for the compositor to make use of it.
Note that any 'set_panel' request be will not be honored, if this request
has been called.
The x and y coordinates use the top-left corner as the origin. The
rectangle area shouldn't exceed the output area, while an area smaller
than the output, would basically result in showing up the background
surface.
Ask the compositor to hide the toplevel window for window
management purposes. Depending on the window role, this request
will either display the previously active window (or the background
in case there's no previously active surface) or temporarily (or
until a 'activate_app' is called upon) hide the surface.
All the surfaces are identifiable by using the app_id, and no actions
are taken in case the app_id is not/was not present.
See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a
description of app_id.
Makes the application identified by app_id as floating. If the
application's window is already mapped, in a maximized, normal state,
it would transition to the float state.
For applications that want to modify their own state, this request
must be done before the initial surface commit in order to take effect.
If the application is already in floating state, this request wouldn't
do anything.
There's no persistence of this request, once the application terminated
you'll to issue this request again for that particular app_id.
The x, and y values would be initial position of the window where the
window surface will be placed.
See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a
description of app_id.
Returns the application identified by app_id as it was in the normal state.
This is useful to come back from other states to the maximized state, the
normal state applications are started.
Makes the application identified by app_id as fullscreen. If the
application's window is already mapped, in a maximized, normal state,
it would transition to the fullscreen state.
For applications that want to modify their own state, this request
must be done before the initial surface commit in order to take effect.
If the application is already in fullscreen state, this request wouldn't
do anything.
There's no persistence of this request, once the application terminated
you'll to issue this request again for that particular app_id.
See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a
description of app_id.
this would allow the compositor to place an application on a particular
output, if that output is indeed available. this can happen before
application is started which would make the application start on that
particular output. if the application is already started it would
move the application to that output.
there's no persistence of this request, once the application terminated
you'll need to issue this request again for that particular app_id.
see xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a
description of app_id.
Clients can use this event to be notified when an application
wants to be displayed on a certain output. This event is sent in
response to the set_app_output request.
See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a
description of app_id.
Clients can inform the compositor to position a floating type of window
at the specific location, pointed by x and y value. If the window is
not a floating type, the request will be discarded. Note that
positioning doesn't take output into consideration nor does orientation
of the outpus. It is expected that the client knows already where the
position is localed in global coordonate space. If the window doesn't
exist the compositor will ignore the request. For this request to
function properly the window would first to be set as floating and then
it can be moved using this request.
see xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a
description of app_id.
Clients can inform the compositor to scale a floating type of window
to the values specified in width and height. If the window is
not a floating type, the request will be discarded. If the window
doesn't exist the compositor will ignore the request. For this request
to function properly the window would first to be set as floating
and then it can be moved using this request.
see xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a
description of app_id.
This requests asks the compositor to change the application from the
original mode (whatever that might be) to a split, tiled orientation
mode defined in the tile orientation enum.
Clients need to implement resizing (to handle xdg-shell configure
events) for this to work correctly.
This request only handles a single level of tiling for practical
reasons: to keep implementation simple and straight forward. The
compositor will ignore requests if there are already two windows
present. The client can verify this request succeed by checking the
xdg-shell configure event and with it, the states sent
by the compositor.
If there's no app_id with the supplied name, the compositor will add
the app to a pending list in order to be applied when an application
gets started, or if the application sets its application after the
initial wl_surface.commit request.
Applications can use this approach if they want to be started in a
tiled orientation position, before creating the xdg-shell toplevel role.
A none orientation type would make the window go back to the original
maximized mode. If two windows are side by side, returning one of them
back the original mode would mean the other one will be made hidden
and the one doing the request for the none orientation will become
the currently active window. A further activation, using activate_app
request for the other window would make that one active.
Closing the window in the tiled orientation state implies that either
the background surface will displayed, or in case there was another
applications being shown at that time, will make that application be
returned to the original, maximized state.
The tiled orientation could be applied independently of each other,
such that a client can transition from one tiled orientation to
another. Note that any other window already present would literally
take the opposite orientation with the one currently being changed. So
tiled orientation modification automatically implies a tile orientation
for any other application already present/active at that time.
In case there's already a client active at that time, it will be
attributed automatically the opposite tiled orientation, such that two
concurrent applications can be displayed at the same time.
The orientation tiles can not be combined, and only state at a time
can be active. Only horizontal and vertical tiling is possible. A
horizontal and vertical tile orientation simultaneously is not
possible.
Input focus is being delivered to the last started/activated window,
such that users can cycle between that one or the other, assumes there's
another window in the first place.
A width size can also be specified for the split window. Note that this
width can't exceed the output width value, or the compositor can choose
to ignore this value.
Making the split window sticky would inform the compositor that the
window should always be active when switching or when activating between
other windows. This would allow navigating, starting and activating other
windows while keeping the current window always in a split state.
See xdg_toplevel.set_app_id from the xdg-shell protocol for a
description of app_id.
This interface allows another client bind to the agl_shell interface,
while there's another shell client already present.
The client should first bind to this interface and then inform the
compositor with the 'doas_shell_client' request and it wants to bind to
the agl_shell interface. The client is still expected, if using a new
version of the agl_shell interface, to wait for the 'bound_ok' and
'bound_fail' events before issueing any other requests/events.
Note that this interface has its limitations, and the compositor would
still refuse the act for 'set_panel' or 'set_background' requests
of the agl_shell interface if there's already a client that used them.
Any other requests or events should be delievered and handled as it would
a client bound to the agl_shell interface.
Call the destructor once you're ready with agl_shell_ext interface.
This would reset the state and would make any requests made
on the agl_shell interface be terminated. The client would need
to bind again the agl_shell_ext and issue a 'doas_shell_client'
request.
Prior to binding to agl_shell interface, this request would inform
the compositor that it wants to gain access the agl_shell interface.
The client is expected to wait for 'doas_shell_client_done' event and
check for a successful status before going further with binding to
the agl_shell interface.
The client should check the status event to verify that the
compositor was able to handle the request.
