Since we use raster engine there is no difference between QImage and QPixmap classes. I think it would clarify the things if we could use only the QImage class and get rid of QPixmap classes (it's possible almost everywhere). Additionally QImage objects are thread safe, so it can be useful for us later for cross-thread optimizations. I have a work in progress patch on this topic, if you agree with my points, I can continue this work.
Additionally moving to QImage only should make it safe to use either native or raster engine.

We should also talk about where to use NativeImagePtr and where to use the class name, because it's not clear. What is your opinion about use the NativeImagePtr typedef everywhere under WebCore/platform/graphics, and use the real class name outside of that directory?

Also, do use ARGB formats also for images without alpha? And, it would be good to define default image formats in single place for easy redefine if other formats required for small devices.

Sorry for late comment. Didn't see this bug. Thanks Laszlo for forwarding. I don't think we want to get rid of QPixmap. It was still faster with QPixmaps on some engines (if there was enough graphics memory) on webkit1. Also, even with webkit2 QPixmaps might help, with direct opengl surface rendering will be implemented. We have also changed QPixmaps to QImages on our branch, but implemented it switchable. I'll attach patch for reference.

We're not going to use QPixmaps for that, but rather a special-case class that does just that.

Which engines (if you can share that info)? In Qt4 on opengl engine QPixmap had image uploaded to texture for faster rendering and also backed with framebuffer (if GL engine supports) for rendering on pixmap. That was in src/opengl/qpixmapdata* . Was it removed? > > Also, even with webkit2 QPixmaps might help, with direct opengl surface rendering will be implemented. > We're not going to use QPixmaps for that, but rather a special-case class that does just that. No, I don't mean painting on QPixmap. It is possible to create QPainter form QGLFramebufferObject and in this case qpixmap backed by texture would paint faster, than qimage.

AFAICS in Qt 5 the GL paint-engine is accelerating QPainter::drawPixmap through an internal texture cache, not through a custom pixmap data implementation. > > > Also, even with webkit2 QPixmaps might help, with direct opengl surface rendering will be implemented. > > We're not going to use QPixmaps for that, but rather a special-case class that does just that. > > No, I don't mean painting on QPixmap. > It is possible to create QPainter form QGLFramebufferObject and in this case qpixmap backed by texture would paint faster, than qimage. The question is: Where in WebKit would we end up _actually_ using any "features" of QPixmap beyond the raster backing? Certainly not in WebKit2 (where GraphicsSurface is our new QPixmap :), so only WebKit1 remains. And that's where we have to make a decision I think, what type of rendering to we want to support, encourage or recommend for WebKit1 on Qt 5. A hard way would be to say software-only with raster engine and software backed texture mapper.

From my experiments with openvg this is still faster then pure raster if there is enough graphics RAM for qpixmap back buffers. > Certainly not in WebKit2 (where GraphicsSurface is our new QPixmap :), so only WebKit1 remains. Do we have plans to implement GL drawing on GraphicsSurface? As I understand, we'll have to create QPainter (webkit context) from GraphicsSurface? In this case, IMHO, texture backed pixmaps would paint faster. > And that's where we have to make a decision I think, what type of rendering to we want to support, encourage or recommend for WebKit1 on Qt 5. A hard way would be to say software-only with raster engine and software backed texture mapper. IMHO, for hybrid applications simple webkit1 webview is better. I think webkit1 webview/pageview similar to QQuickWebView/QQuickWebPage, but with webcore in the same process, will be very usable.
> Do we have plans to implement GL drawing on GraphicsSurface? Yes, we already do that for WebGL. > As I understand, we'll have to create QPainter (webkit context) from GraphicsSurface? Probably the QPainter abstraction is not going to help there.

I thought there were special optimizations for RGB32, I don't recall using 888 much. But maybe it doesn't matter.

There is a lot of code currently assuming a pixel-size of 4 bytes. If those places are fixed I would be all for allowing 24bit encoding (I have been thinking about doing this myself), but it would probably need a feature-flag since it might be slower on some platforms without native hardware support. I would suggest for this patch, to just use RGB32. If you want to enable 24bit, please do so in another patch that solves all the pixel-size problems.

If you want to enable 24bit, please do so in another patch that solves all the pixel-size problems. Actually, on internal branch we used 16 bit color for opaque images. The only extra place we changed was image decoders to produce 16 bit output. Worked fine.

Comment on attachment 152222 [details] proposed patch View in context: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=152222&action=review Haven't taken the time yet too look at the changes in detail, but I agree about the direction. One small nitpick I noticed below. > Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/qt/ImageDecoderQt.cpp:277 > QImage img(reinterpret_cast<uchar*>(m_bytes), m_size.width(), m_size.height(), sizeof(PixelData) * m_size.width(), format); > > - return new QPixmap(QPixmap::fromImage(img)); > + return new QImage(img); Hmmm, if it's guaranteed that the caller keeps the ImageFrame around, then wouldn't it be simpler to just do return new QImage(reinterpret_cast<uchar*>(m_bytes), ...) ? If that's not guaranteed, then we probably need a call to copy() to make sure that the data is properly detached.

There are a few places where we can also use the newly added functions, but I would do that in a separate patch.
Comment on attachment 152276 [details] proposed patch This looks good to me, but let's wait to see if Simon wants to have a look as well.
Comment on attachment 152276 [details] proposed patch View in context: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=152276&action=review r=me Land with care and watch the bots ;) > Source/WebKit/qt/Api/qwebframe.cpp:1977 > - return d->pixmap; > + return QPixmap::fromImage(d->image); Is this a good move? QPixmap::fromImage will do a conversion every time, making the pixmap() accessor a lot slower on repeated calls. Wouldn't it be simpler to leave the pixmap as member? (under the assumption that we're not changing the API) Alternatively the conversion from QImage to QPixmap can be made _very_ cheap if the QImage has the same format, so another option would be for example to make the 'QImage image' member here hold a QImage respecting QPixmap::defaultDepth().
