URGENT! RenderOffScreen replacement in Gecko 1.9

[yakobom]

Hi guys,
I desperately need you help.
I need the option to get an image into my own texture. Before GECKO
1.9, we did it using RenderOffScreen in the ViewManager.
Can someone please send me some instructions or a link to somewhere
that explains it ...
We have tried several things, including RenderDocument on PresShell,
but bumped into a lot of link errors.
We need quick assistance, and not only code lines.
Please - any assistance will be very appreciated.

Thanks,
yakobom

Hi Yako, still me... lets join forces, maybe someone hear us (nobody
answered my similar question 3 weeks ago).

Right now, after reading THIS thread:

http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.embedding/browse_thread/thread/57e07c2f2109a36f

I understood that THIS is important:

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/Migrating_from_Internal_Linkage_to_Frozen_Linkage

this should fix the HELL of a problems I have with strings and
linkage... but I hope that everything I used (apart from string) was
not moved into internals because I digged quite deep in FF code to do
what we are doing.

Also, THIS seems to be interesting (also cited in the thread above) :

http://developer.mozilla.org/en/XPCOM_Glue

For everything else, I mean the REAL RenderOffscreen problem, I hope
someone will send some snippet... they also moved to Cairo, so no more
"internal" rendering context... I believe the code must be changed
quite a lot.

You know? I will check Google Chrome code VERY SOON... :)

Hi,

Follow the yellow brick road along <nsIDOMCanvasRenderingContext2D>, and
you shall find what you looking for.

Hello everybody,

I managed to get to the pixels. Here cometh the snippet. DISCLAIMER:
this works for me, and it's probably still buggy. I still have to
understand if and where I have to use smart pointers, and I know never
free memory, and a lot of other stuff that must be fixed. All I know
is that "textureBuffer" points to a memory zone that I can
subsequently render in a OpenGL texture, so I can tell it works.

Ciao,
Aaron/Babele

Hi Aaron and Babele,

I used to set the widgetDamageRectInPixels coordinates in nsViewManager
before use it in CopyOffScreenBits, how can I do it on the new architecture?
It used to be something like:

widgetDamageRectInPixels.x = valueX;
widgetDamageRectInPixels.y = valueY;
localcx->CopyOffScreenBits(ds, 0, 0, widgetDamageRectInPixels,
NS_COPYBITS_USE_SOURCE_CLIP_REGION);

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance,

Andre Pedralho
