This will keep copyrect rendering actions in order with tight and tightPNG
rendering actions (otherwise you can get visual image corruption when
they are mixed together).
Warning:
RAW, RRE and HEXTILE still use immediate render commands so there is
still the risk of out-of-order rendering if RAW, RRE, and HEXTILE are
mixed with tight and tightPNG. Copyrect will work with either because
the renderQ_push function will render copyrects immediately if they
are the only thing being pushed on the queue.
The imgQ code in RFB should be a generic rendering queue system in
Display.
The reason for the render queue in the first place is that images
loaded from raw data URI strings aren't immediately ready to display
so we have to wait for them to complete 'loading'. However, when data
URI images are mixed with other types of rendering actions then things
can get out of order. This is the reason for the rendering queue.
Currently this only keeps display actions for tight and tightPNG
related actions in order (because they use a mix of fills, raw pixel
data and data URI images).

The real fix is to QEMU so that this doesn't happen which was
submitted as a patch to the mailinglist right before this.
Fixes https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/issues/163
When using an encoding with raw images (tight, tightPNG) we need to
draw those image relative to the viewport so that clipping works when
the viewport isn't at 0, 0.
With last_rect, the rects count can be high until a last_rect
pseudo-encoding is received which messes with the timing stats. So
count up the number of pixels rendered and show timing after the pixel
count reaches the width*height of the screen.

This merges in the fix for https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/issues/70
This changes noVNC to use the preferred color ordering that most VNC
server prefer and that VMWare VNC requires. It's possible this may
break some VNC servers out there in which case we might have to do
something a bit more subtle such as having alternate render functions
for little and big endian color ordering.
Issue: https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/issues/118
Reporter @maxnet also found and suggested the fix.
Probably could be more intelligent/generic by keying off the depth
sent by the server, but this will do for now.

Based on proposal from @mightpenguin:
Matthew Balman <emperor@mightypenguin.org>
If view_only option is set then do not send mouse and keyboard events.
This is not a secure/enforced way to make a client view only. To
enforce view only at the server, most VNC servers support setting
a view only password.
Display API change:
- getTile -> startTile (no longer returns a tile)
- setSubTile -> subTile (drop img/tile first parameter)
- putTile -> finishTile (no longer takes img/tile paramter)
The Display tile logic uses canvas image data directly and
caches/reuses a 16x16 imageData tile (for other sizes, the tile is
create for each call). This gives a 30% speedup on Chrome
13 (and no significant change for Firefox 3.6/4.0).
Other:
- Remove rgbxImageFill and cmapImageFill routines.
- Simplify constructor tests and just error if createImageData is not
supported by canvas instead of .
- Remove webkit canvas bug workaround that effects Chrome 7. Chrome
7 usage share is now less than 0.5 percent and the workaround is
ugly. Drop the function wrapping in the constructor and the canvas
flush() routine.
- Remove support for getImageData (Opera 11+ now required)
Update browser support list:
- Chrome 8+ (really any except 7)
- Firefox 3.6+
- Safari 4+
- Opera 11+
- IE9+
- iOS 4.2+
API changes (forward compatible):
- Display: add 'viewport' conf option to turn on and off viewport
mode.
- RFB: add 'viewportDrag' option to enable/disable viewport dragging
mode.
Other:
- Add clip mode setting to default UI. For touch devices, clipping is
forced on.
- Use CSS media queries to adjust visual elements based on screen
size. Especially disconnected logo size/position and button text size.
- Catch page unload while connected and give a confirm dialog.
- Change mouse button selector to a single button that changes between
' ', 'L', 'M', 'R' when clicked (empty means mouse is just being
moved and doesn't send clicks).
- include/ui.js:setViewClip() routine sets the clipping of the
viewport to the current size of the viewport area (if clipping is
enabled).
- include/ui.js:setViewDrag() toggles/enables/disables viewport
dragging mode.
- Add several images for the UI and for Apple devices:
- images/clipboard.png: clipboard menu icon
- images/connect.png: connect menu icon
- images/disconnect.png: disconnect button icon
- images/keyboard.png: show keyboard button
- images/move.png: viewport drag/move toggle button
- images/settings.png: settings menu icon
- images/screen_320x460.png: iOS app/desktop link start image
- images/screen_57x57.png: iOS app icon
- images/screen_700x700.png: full size noVNC image
New routine fbUpdateRequests that builds the update request messages
based on the result of display.getCleanDirtyReset().
- Also, fix fbUpdateRequest to properly accept x,y,xw,yw parameters.
Part of mobile device support:
https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/issues/48
The Display object is redefined as a larger display region with
an equal or smaller visible viewport. The size of the full display
region is set/changed using resize(). The viewport is set/changed
using viewportChange().
All exposed routines that draw on the display now take coordinates
that are absolute (relative to the full display region). For example,
the result of fillRect(100, 100, 10, 10, [255,0,0]) will appear in the
canvas at (0,0) if the viewport is set to (100,100).
Details:
- Move the generic part of the viewport code from tests/viewport.html
into include/display.
- Add two new routines to the Display interface:
- viewportChange(deltaX, deltaY, width, height)
- This adjusts the position of the visible viewport and/or the
size of the viewport.
- deltaX and deltaY specify how the position of the viewport
should be shifted. The position of the viewport is clamped
to the full region size (i.e. cannot outside the display
region).
- The clean and dirty regions of the display are updated based
on calls to this routine. For example, if the viewport width
is increased, then there is now a dirty box on the right
side of the viewport. Another example, if the viewport is
shifted down and to the left over the display region, there
are now two dirty boxes: one on the left side and one
on the bottom of the viewport.
- getCleanDirtyReset()
- This returns an object with the clean box and a list of
dirty boxes (that need to be redrawn).
{'cleanBox':
{'x': x, 'y': y, 'w': w, 'h': h},
'dirtyBoxes':
[{'x': x, 'y': y, 'w': w, 'h': h}, ...]
}
- The coordinates in the clean and dirty boxes are absolute
coordinates (relative to the full display region) but they
are clipped to the visible viewport.
- Calling this function also resets the clean rectangle to be
the whole viewport (i.e. nothing visible needs to be redrawn
dirty) so the caller of this routine is responsible for
redrawing any
Instead of R,G,B (red-shift of 0, green-shift of 8, and blue-shift
of 16), use the default ordering of B,G,R (red-shift of 16, green-shift of 8, and blue-shift
of 0) that tightvncserver uses (and that VMWare's VNC server seems to
require). Also, warn in the console if the server does not default to
the new format.
Fix the tests/canvas.html test. This is a general fix with regards to
the rename/refactor of canvas.js into display.js and not specific to
the color re-ordering.
This addresses issue #65:
https://github.com/kanaka/noVNC/issues/65
When tightPNG encoded rects were received, any fill types were
immediately drawn to the canvas while images (PNG, JPEGs) were queued
for loading. This can cause screen corruption when things are changing
rapidly due to the misordering of fills vs images.
Also, remove the onload setting in each image on the queue and instead
decrease the tight image queue scanning interval (to 40ms or 25
scans per second).
