@willmmiles please have a look. I updated the PR description with some info. Any feedback welcome. |
|
@willmmiles did you get a chance to glance at this? I did test all possible combinations I could come up with and fixed them all. If there are cases that do not work we can fix them as reported. There should not be any regressions, at least I am not aware of any. Ready to merge from my side. |

Yes, sorry! I've started typing a review three times and every time lost it to distractions, reboots, etc. etc. Architecturally: this is as good as it's going to get so long as each (I still think that long term we should try a smaller On the bikeshed level: I might suggest renaming On the testing level: I was surprised that "power off" didn't reverse the transition direction for the spatial transitions -- I was expecting "off" to be the opposite of "on". The "fairy dust" transition didn't look quite right for sure -- switching back off halfway through the "on" transition caused an abrupt "flip" in the pixel state. |
the issue with chaining is that each spatial transitions requires a segment copy, on larger setups we run out of RAM quickly. For fade transitions chaining is doable but with little gain.
good point, I thought about it but at the time I did not yet have them fully separated.
Yea, it might not have been the best design choice. I did have exactly that at one point, i.e. reversing the animation. The reason I reverted that was a deliberate design choice as it does not respect the set transition: if I have swipe left -> off it swipes left, if I revert at 95% off, it swipes right. Waiting until fully off, then back on, it swipes left for on. Assuming I want on and off always to swipe from the same side, reverting it mid level will do the opposite. So my choice was "if set swipe left, always swipe left". If we think inverting the direction of swipe/push etc. makes more sense from a visual standpoint, I can implement that again. |

Preserve a working fade when a spatial power-transition copy fails.
When allocation fails, rendering falls back to TRANSITION_FADE, but _fadeDur is zero. currentBri() then applies the target brightness immediately. This affects both a new on/off transition and a reversal. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

@willmmiles I have re-implemented the animation reversal, it looks much less janky. With the new TRANSITION_FLAG_REVERSED flag this could also be implemented as a global config rule i.e. use normal style when turning on, use inverted style when turning off so people do not need special presets for on and off if they want it inversed. just an idea, not implemented in this PR. |
I put that firmly in the "don't penalize some users because of limitiations on other people's setups" bucket. We already have to handle "what if I can't allocate memory for this transition"; with chained transitiosn I'd suggest expanding that to "drop the oldest transition". For effect properties, applying a new fade transition should "merge" with the old one with the logic you just added here. :) Although when we get to FX-memory-as-objects, I'd like to delegate transition management to the FX factory functions, so that effects have the opportunity to do their own special casing if there's opportunities for optimization there. The key simplification of chained transitions is that most of the styles can be implemented with only a few primitives. A "change one variable over time" transition object covers most fades, swipes, pushes, inside/outside opens and closes, and the 2D cases (top-left,, bottom-right, etc.) can be implemented by instantiating two. The other spatial transitions (fairy dust, circular open/close) can be implemented as a mask buffer with an update function. Lastly I think we'd need a nonlinear fader for handling color transitions.... and I think that's it. Anyways still a problem for another day.
Yup, I figured that it was about consistency!
I agree completely. My feeling is that always reversing the transition direction when powering off would be the most natural default (instead of only reversing if it's incomplete) but I recognize it's inconsistent and could break existing power-off presets if people are explicitly selecting their transitions. +1 for a future PR.
Awesome, looks much better to me! The "Swipe TL" etc. cases are still odd though - unlike all the others, using the opposite corner isn't the inverse of the pattern. Switching direction still "jumps" the LEDs to a different layout. They probably need explicit reverse handling. |
|
@willmmiles I had another look at it, now reversal is integrated into isPixelClipped() functions and the LUT is no longer needed. I am not 100% happy with the double inversions (tripple if you count the time flip in startTransition() ) and I feel like there would be a cleaner over-all solution, however I can not see it without a major rewrite of several transition handling functions and I would leave that refactor for the future as I have spent way too much time on this PR already and it works quite nicely in the current state. |

Honestly this is much better! I realized later yesterday that the general solution to inversion was to reverse the flow of time -- exactly as you've done. You can use the xor trick to tighten up the code slightly but the logic is correct. |
I deliberately did not do that, I did try but it got confusing to me to the point where I could not tell if it is correct anymore :) |

@willmmiles please go ahead and merge if you are happy with the current state - you can update to xor if you with, pushing to this PR or do that after merging |

Current behaviour:
when changing opacity in any transition mode other than "fade" brightness/opacity gets set immediatly, no transition
New behaviour:
Full rework on how transitions are handled:
There are many combinations that were previously unhandled by just restarting a transition.
What this now does is to handle per segment transitions and global transitions the same: users can use a segment as an individual light (for example in different rooms) while transitions behave the same on a segment level.
There may be some edge cases that are not handled gracefully but I spend a lot of time examining countless combinations. The code is quite complex to handle all combinations and I tried my best to comment as much as needed to hopefully make this maintainable.
