Description Eric Seidel (no email) 2005-12-06 03:53:02 PST
gradients does not support spreadMethod

This is easy to see in this test case:
http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/Test/20030813/htmlframe/full-pservers-grad-10-b.html

There is no support for this type of thing in CG, so we would have to do our own.  This is an extremely 
uncommon feature, so this is very low priority.
Comment 1 Eric Seidel (no email) 2006-01-26 14:56:30 PST
This is a pretty obscure feature.  It would be nice to support this (and we'll likely have to, since the W3C 1.1 test suite covers it), however it's not particularly high priority work.
Comment 2 Gavin Sherlock 2008-08-01 06:05:34 PDT
Looks like:

spreadMethod=pad is supported, but that:

spreadMethod=reflect and
spreadMethod=repeat

are buggy
Comment 3 Dirk Schulze 2009-06-13 22:05:16 PDT
Only CG doesn't support spreadMethods.
Comment 4 Simon Fraser (smfr) 2010-01-30 21:24:56 PST
I have some WIP code in bug 28152 to synthesize repeating gradients. Reflection would not be hard either.
Comment 5 Matt Bishop 2011-02-11 18:18:39 PST
I don't think I would call it "extremely" uncommon.  Hard to implement perhaps, but a useful part of SVG that has been in the spec since the beginning.

FWIW, Firefox seems to handle it OK.

Attaching a simpler test case.

"is now be" is not quite proper grammar.

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/cg/GradientCG.cpp:116
> +                FloatPoint gradientVectorNorm = data.point1 + -data.point0;

Is there a reason you can't just subtract and instead add a negative? This looks super weird to me.

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/cg/GradientCG.cpp:129
> +                CGFloat pixelSize = abs(CGContextConvertSizeToUserSpace(platformContext, CGSizeMake(1, 1)).width);

s/abs/CGFAbs/, I think that will fix the build (at least one of the build problems)

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/cg/GradientCG.cpp:137
> +                        CGContextDrawLinearGradient(platformContext, gradient, CGPointMake(flip? end : end - width, 0), CGPointMake(flip? end - width : end, 0), 0);

Definitely should have spaces before the ternary operator's question marks. Also this (and the one below) are quite long lines, maybe pull the points out into locals? I'm not sure.

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/cg/GradientCG.cpp:148
> +                    CGContextRestoreGState(platformContext);

The weird "where's the save that corresponds to this restore" thought that popped into my head illustrates precisely why we like RAII objects for things like this :) Please use GraphicsContextStateSaver or CGContextStateSaver instead of this manual goop.

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/cg/GradientCG.cpp:153
> +                U_FALLTHROUGH;

just FALLTHROUGH;, no U_

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/cg/GradientCG.cpp:160
>              bool needScaling = data.aspectRatio != 1;

Should you use the already-computed-and-stored gradient instead of calling platformGradient() again below? (I think so!)

> Source/WebCore/svg/SVGStopElement.cpp:102
> +    return colorWithOverrideAlpha(svgStyle.stopColor().rgb(), svgStyle.stopColor().alpha() / 255.0 * svgStyle.stopOpacity());

Might want a fastDivideBy255? (Also not totally sure what's happening here).

> +    <rect x="10" y="120" width="115" height="55" fill="rgba(255,0,0,0.5)"/>

We try not to use red in "good" results (I understand that the W3C test above does, but ... don't follow them :) )

Normally we'd use a FloatSize to represent the delta between two points, but sadly we haven't implemented .dot() for FloatSize.

> Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/cg/GradientCG.cpp:120
> +                CGFloat angle = acos(gradientVectorNorm.dot(FloatPoint(1, 0)));

Rather than FloatPoint(1, 0) you can say { 1, 0 } to let the compiler deduce the type.

What is the origin of this rotation?

because the origin will impact whether this point transformation is correct, right?

I think your first version of this patch where you manually do the left side then the right side was much more understandable than this. I can't convince myself that this code is correct.

Should use alphaAsFloat here instead of dividing by 255.0.
