Bug 82791 – Add support for new canvas ellipse method

• Component: Canvas
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Dean Jackson]

Canvas v5 API adds a new path segment type: ellipse

[Ian 'Hixie' Hickson]

arcTo() is also expanded to do ellipsoid corners.

anticlockwise is right. It is not related to this patch, but it is tiny refactoring.

> +    }

This is copied from CanvasRenderingContext2D::arc.
I think it is right policy of edge case, but I want to know the opinion of experts of GraphicsContext.

[Dongseong Hwang]

I added ellipse API into Path.h because Canvas v5 adds following API also.
 path.ellipse(x, y, radiusX, radiusY, rotation, startAngle, endAngle, anticlockwise)

When we support Path primitives, we can reuse Path::ellipse.

However, Path::ellipse is little bit slow because it uses Path::transform twice.
Path::ellipse is platform independent.

Each platform can implement fast platform-dependent implementation.

Why is the "ellipse does not crash" test in a separate patch?

I have no reason. I did follow Bug 80674.
If merging is better, I'll do it.

[Dongseong Hwang]

I'll very appreciate if Dean or Simon take a look at this bug.

What is this variable for? The argument you're passing it to is a float, so this should be too. Also, perhaps a name like unitCircleRadius? I was quite confused what was going on here. It also seems a bit odd to create a variable here for no reason, but I guess it's for clarity?

Yes, just for clarity. I'll change to unitCircleRadius.

Let's wait on this until we can sort this API out.
As currently defined, the path is not closed and it's annoying that you have to pass in all the parameters to draw a simple circle.

This particular feature is still under discussion on the mailing lists. I even doubt that it is that important for web authors at all. However, you do not even follow the specification by making all values optional. I would like to ask you to send a mail to webkit-dev and start a discussion there.

Is it Hwang or Huang? Are you doing this for company100 or intel?

You may want to add your copyright.

This seems to change the behavior of arc as well. Do you have tests for arc?

> Source/WebCore/html/canvas/CanvasPathMethods.cpp:163
> +    float adjustedEndAngle = adjustEndAngle(sa, ea, anticlockwise);

This seems unnecessary. Just pass it to the next function call.

> Source/WebCore/html/canvas/CanvasPathMethods.cpp:167
> +void CanvasPathMethods::ellipse(float x, float y, float rx, float ry, float rot, float sa, float ea, bool anticlockwise, ExceptionCode& ec)

Can you rename ea, sa to endAngle and startAngle please? (In arc as well.)

> Source/WebCore/html/canvas/CanvasPathMethods.cpp:174
> +    if (rx < 0 || ry < 0) {
> +        ec = INDEX_SIZE_ERR;

I am not sure if we want to have an exception in Canvas at all. It may was an mistake to do it in arc in the first place and should be fixed there.

> Source/WebCore/html/canvas/CanvasPathMethods.cpp:179
> +        // The ellipse is empty but we still need to draw the connecting line to start point.

So, when you do it here, why do you have the same code in Path again? This seems redundant.

> Source/WebCore/html/canvas/CanvasPathMethods.h:53
> +    void ellipse(float x, float y, float rx, float ry, float rot, float sa, float ea, bool anticlockwise, ExceptionCode&);

startAngle and endAngle please.

> +void Path::addEllipse(const FloatPoint& p, float radiusX, float radiusY, float rotation, float startAngle, float endAngle, bool anticlockwise)

Hm. Some platforms have direct implementations for ellipse. It might be good to support the platform ellipse implementations.

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/Path.cpp:104
> +        else if (p1 != currentPoint())

Is that specified? Can you add a link to the ChangeLog to the paragraph of the spec please?

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/Path.cpp:109
> +    AffineTransform ellipseTransform = AffineTransform().rotate(rad2deg(rotation)).scale(radiusX, radiusY);

Is the origin in the middle of the ellipse? Otherwise, don't you need to set the origin to p before rotating and scaling the ellipse?

> LayoutTests/fast/canvas/ellipse-crash.html:16
> +        context.ellipse(10, 10, 20, 20, 0, 20, 1.0/0.0, true);

Can't you just use Math.NaN and Math.Infinite? That would make more sense here.

> LayoutTests/fast/canvas/script-tests/canvas-ellipse.js:20
> +ctx.ellipse(200, 200, 100, 150, deg2rad(20), deg2rad(-180), deg2rad(100), false);

Why not use rad values directly like Math.PI * 2, Math.PI * 0.5 and so on. I think you have by far not enough tests. You do not test all values and it is not so easy to say if the drawing is correct even for this simple case. It is also interesting to know how ellipse interacts with other path arguments. Maybe it is possible to do a ref test. (Ref test would have a DRT call as well to tell to wait for the completion of the rendering. But not sure how it would look like.)

However, you do not even follow the specification by making all values optional. I would like to ask you to send a mail to webkit-dev and start a discussion there.
btw, I'll submit the patch removing all optional in other api as well as arc in Bug 115723 .

Long time no see. It is a mistake that all values are optional. I just copied from arc() without thinking. Which mail did you ask me to send to webkit-dev: 'intent to shipment' or 'all values optional'?
In addition, I'm working in progress about this in Blink also: https://codereview.chromium.org/14298022/

Now, I'm dongseong hwang in Intel :)

There is no logical change to arc and I tested via existing layout test.

I extracted adjustEndAngl() from arc() to reuse it in ellipse().

I'll apply your opinions.

I think that each port maintainer can implement it in Path[port].cpp if they want, after guarding '#if !USE(port)' in above code.
Moreover, when all ports implement ellipse, above code can be removed.

I'll verify again that it is correct.

the origin is (0,0) and the middle of the ellipse is p. I draw arc at 'mapped p' as follows, so we don't need to set the origin to p.
addArc(inverseEllipseTransform.mapPoint(p), 1 /* unit circle */, startAngle, endAngle, anticlockwise);

I see. I just followed arc-crash.html, so I'll change both.

Good advice!

Blink requested me the same and I agree. Unfortunately, there are no standard tests for ellipse yet. I'm preparing various ellipse tests. Ref test is good suggestion!

The patch looks really great. Some snippets inline. Please fix the build breakage for GTK and EFL before landing. Just move the code from PathCG to Path.cpp as described later and it works everywhere. r=me with the changes below.

It took me a bit to understand why you are doing this. Especially to get dash arrays and line caps right we must have the multiple moveTos across the otherwise straight line, but a short comment would help :).

IMO the spec should have a comment as well. Just to warn implementations. Couldn't find it in the spec when I reviewed the patch.

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/cg/PathCG.cpp:285
> +void Path::addArc(const FloatPoint& p, float radius, float startAngle, float endAngle, bool clockwise)

The other implementations (at least PathCairo) need the same function with NotImplemented(). And the tests need to be skipped.

This could actually mode to Path.cpp. The other graphic libraries don't have ellipse either and would do the same. This would also make the other bots build. You would need to transform the Path context:

transform(transform);
addArc(...);

Then the comment above gets superfluous.

> LayoutTests/ChangeLog:5

Some crazy tests :P

It seems that some of the tests were submitted to Blink but I couldn't find them on this bug report. Could you add a link to the Blink commit (I think https://chromiumcodereview.appspot.com/14298022). Or mention the author please?
