- # [00:00] <TabAtkins_> kojiishi: I think it may still be useful to have an option to not scale glyphs, as it may be ugly sometimes.
- # [00:00] <TabAtkins_> florian: Perhaps if you say "use-glyph no-scale", you just use exactly what's given back by the font, no measurement. It may be too big, but shrug. Then "use-glyph" will scale if they're too big, and "compress" will just always scale the full-size.
- # [00:01] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: Makes sense.
- # [00:01] <fantasai> ACTION fantasai: edit as above
- # 06[00:01] * RRSAgent records action 10
- # 06[00:01] * trackbot noticed an ACTION. Trying to create it.
- # [00:01] <trackbot> Created ACTION-358 - Edit as above [on Elika Etemad - due 2011-08-01].
- # [00:02] <TabAtkins_> RESOLVED: Remove the concept of glyph-size tolerance from this level of the spec.
- # [00:02] <jdaggett> whatever you spec out, you need to try it on some simple examples and include them in the description
- # [00:02] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: So for fonts with propotional, but not half-width glyphs, if you say "use-glyphs", should we just use the glyphs directly?
- # [00:03] <jdaggett> the markup should be easy and the implementation should be fairly easy
- # [00:03] <jdaggett> nat: yeah, you don't want multiple passes to support TCY
- # [00:03] <TabAtkins_> szilles: I think, since the user can say "no-scale" if they really don't want it, you should have a single default that works decently enough for everyone.
- # 03[00:04] * Joins: szilles (chatzilla@72.254.61.95)
- # [00:05] <TabAtkins_> kojiishi: The tolerance came in to address the common case where the TCY want to use two digits without scaling.
- # 02[00:08] * Quits: szilles (chatzilla@72.254.61.95) (Ping timeout)
- # [00:08] <TabAtkins_> nat: If we have different scaling values (depending on number of digits), it's too complicated for the value you get.
- # [00:08] <TabAtkins_> nat: I agree that it may be useful in some cases, as Koji says, but I don't think its' worthwhile to address.
- # [00:09] <TabAtkins_> nat: Koji brings up the possibility that some people may want to scale only when it looks terrible, and let it not scale if it's "almost there".
- # [00:09] <TabAtkins_> nat: But I don't think it's worth dealing with that explicitly. That should be something a UA could decide.
- # [00:09] <TabAtkins_> florian: Or we could go with steve's idea of adding a tolerance to scale.
- # [00:09] <TabAtkins_> szilles: I mainly just think we're spending too much time on this.
- # [00:10] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: And the default is the UA tries to do whatever it can to make things fit. No limitations.
- # 02[00:11] * Quits: karl (karlcow@128.30.54.58) (Quit: This computer has gone to sleep)
- # [00:11] <TabAtkins_> nat: Moving on, it looks like you can omit the integer in "digits" etc. and it defaults to 2. I think it would be better to be explicit.
- # [00:11] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: Okay.
- # 03[00:12] * Joins: szilles (chatzilla@72.254.61.95)
- # [00:12] <TabAtkins_> kojiishi: You're not requiring an integer for "all", right?

- # [00:13] <hober> bradk: i think you mean 'kawaii'
- # [00:13] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: Right.
- # [00:13] <TabAtkins_> nat: We should just make "all" be very simple. It does *all*.
- # [00:14] <szilles> Add Usecases for 2 or 3 digits in auto t-c-y and have an example with mix of digits and non-digits; e.g., "1.2"
- # [00:14] <florian> s/steve's idea of adding a tolerance to scale/steve's idea of adding a parameter to no-compress, rather than using tolerances/
- # [00:16] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: If you say "use-glyphs" and there's only a single char, the current spec says to use a full-width glyph if one is availab.e
- # [00:16] <TabAtkins_> nat: And I think you shouldn't do that.
- # [00:16] <TabAtkins_> nat: glyphs substituation may cause problems (undefined?)

- # [00:17] <TabAtkins_> nat: Are you supposed to scale up the glyphs to 1em, or what?
- # [00:17] <TabAtkins_> florian: i think we've said that TCY and text-transform interacts.
- # [00:18] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: Spec says that any text-transform features are turned off for combined text of more than 1 char.
- # [00:18] <TabAtkins_> florian: Then that's fine. You can use text-transform to get single large chars, but have smaller chars for more TCY.
- # [00:19] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: jdaggett you were saying that for text-transform we should write up proposals first and then discuss?
- # [00:19] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: Yeah, I did some experiments. Spec says currently that you have to use the VR2 feature of the font, but in practice that doesn't really work.

- # [00:20] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: In the post I summed up the key points:
- # [00:20] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: Latin will rotate, greek and cyrillic won't, and there are many other cases where it's not clear that what exists is what you want.
- # [00:20] <jdaggett> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-style/2011Jul/0402.html
- # [00:21] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: In discussion with Erik Mueller, we thought it mad emore sense to specify a property (possibly going into unicode) that says whether a character is upright or rotated.
- # 02[00:21] * Quits: nmccully (nmccully@72.254.59.155) (Client exited)
- # [00:21] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: Then we can use that property to define the gray areas here.
- # 03[00:21] * Joins: stearns_ (qw3birc@128.30.52.28)
- # [00:21] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: symbols, punctuation, currency, etc.
- # [00:21] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: That sounds reasonable.
- # [00:22] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: I just don't think this can be a derived property from the existing values.
- # 02[00:22] * Quits: stearns (qw3birc@128.30.52.28) (Ping timeout)
- # [00:22] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: Agreed - until it's a unicode property, we'll have to have it be derived with a large list of exceptions.
- # [00:23] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: And then the logic of text-orientation will be to use that property, then apply the "vert" opentype feature to the upright runs.
- # [00:23] <TabAtkins_> nat: And you do that so fonts which disagree with the feature can achieve that?
- # [00:23] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: Yes.
- # [00:23] <TabAtkins_> nat: I'm comfortable with that.
- # [00:24] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: This property effectively already exists, but it's just custom right now in different tables.
- # [00:24] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: IE already has it (though clearly out of date; it doesn't do non-BMP). Webkit has a similar table, similarly wrong.
- # [00:24] <ChrisL> has Unicode consortium been asked to add this property?
- # [00:24] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: It would be great to pull together our individual dbs and help make a proposal to unicode.
- # [00:25] <TabAtkins_> nat: InDesign has something similar too.
- # [00:25] <ChrisL> (I take what jdagett said to mean "not yet but we will")
- # 02[00:26] * Quits: szilles (chatzilla@72.254.61.95) (Ping timeout)
- # 06[00:26] * TabAtkins_ chrisl, I believe so, yes.
- # [00:26] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: I don't think we need to get into the individual heuristics yet.
- # [00:26] <TabAtkins_> nat: When unicode didn't provide two codepoints for something that was two codepoints in shift_jis, we have to be able to differentiate.
- # [00:27] <TabAtkins_> nat: Some fonts have different designs for the two. In some fonts you want to rotate, and in others you don't.
- # [00:27] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: We can get info for Japanese fairly easily, but I'm concerned about other languages like Chinese where we don't have much if any information.
- # [00:28] <TabAtkins_> nat: It's different, and unfortuantely the standards are even more loose.
- # [00:28] <TabAtkins_> nat: We don't use font metrics, but it's very complicated to deal with this.
- # [00:29] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: to handle that sort of thing, we could call out those specific codepoints and deal with those in a separate category.
- # [00:29] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: So CSS3 can deal with japanese well, but the separation lets us make better rules for Chinese and such later.
- # [00:30] <TabAtkins_> szilles: You and I, jdaggett, have proposed being able to provide a delta on the unicode table.
- # [00:30] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: I think it would be better to wait and propose the rpoeprty first, then went through and discussed how you might want to modify it.
- # [00:30] <TabAtkins_> szilles: Right; I brought it up as a reminder of the concept.
- # [00:31] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: Right. it would be nice to eventually let authors say exactly what defaults they want ("never rotate english text"), so they didn't need to put a bunch of markup around specific areas.
- # [00:31] <TabAtkins_> szilles: It would also allow all the default tables out there to be incorporated.
- # [00:32] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: I have a concern that the rest of the draft (the layout parts) really ought to be stabilized somehow.
- # [00:33] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: We have a lot of work left to do on text-orientation, but I think the layout bits should be locked down and not held back by this work.
- # [00:34] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: Another month or two i can handle, but if this'll take us until next year, I'm concerned.
- # [00:34] <TabAtkins_> jdaggett: I don't think it'll take that long.
- # [00:34] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: One more item now.
- # [00:34] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: Sylvain was talking about the name of 'writing-mode' property.
- # 03[00:34] * Joins: szilles (chatzilla@72.254.61.95)
- # [00:34] <TabAtkins_> sylvaing: The writing-mode property says it defines block-progression (then why isn't in named "block-progression").
- # [00:35] <TabAtkins_> sylvaing: then it says that the writing mode is deifned by three properties, one of which is called "writing-mode", which is confusing.
- # [00:35] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: I think we shouldn't change the name, but if you have a better term...
- # [00:35] <TabAtkins_> sylvaing: There used to be a block-progression property.
- # [00:36] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: Yes, because at the time writing-mode was a shorthand that overrides "direction", which was a very bad thing. We've had this discussion a few times.
- # [00:36] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: And it's incompatible with SVG and IE6.
- # [00:36] <TabAtkins_> sylvaing: What is?
- # 06[00:36] * ChrisL all gaul is divided into three parts - belgica, acquiania, and gaul. I blame Ceasar for the original confusion
- # [00:36] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: We could call it block-progression, but then writing-mode would be an alias.
- # 06[00:37] * TabAtkins_ chrisl, the country was called "all gaul". i don't see the confusion!
- # [00:37] <TabAtkins_> dbaron: Is this a naming discussion, or a substantive one?
- # [00:38] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: Kinda both. Given legacy and other reasons, I think the name should stay, but I'm willing to change the terminology.
- # [00:38] <TabAtkins_> szilles: I agree that this would be better called "block-progression". But history/SVG means that it should stay consistent and be "writing-mode".
- # [00:39] <ChrisL> svg also uses the term 'block progression direction' (from xsl) btw
- # [00:39] <TabAtkins_> fantasai: I'd just like to avoid property aliases.
- # [00:39] <ChrisL> but it does use the writing-mode property, yes
- # 06[00:39] * jdaggett egads
- # [00:39] <TabAtkins_> dbaron: value aliases are much eaiser than property aliases.

- # [01:01] <fantasai> Tab: 3 issues to resolve

- # 03[01:01] * Joins: vhardy (vhardy@72.254.57.220)
- # [01:02] <fantasai> TabAtkins: zw gradients are not a problem without repeating, but is a problem for repeating because you can't repeat them on the same point infinitely
- # [01:02] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Right now I punt on the issue by making repeating gradients requreid to have minimum 1px width
- # [01:02] <fantasai> TabAtkins: That guarantees we can tile the space like we should
- # [01:02] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Don't know if it's ideal, but it stops the problem of infinity
- # 06[01:02] * glazou loves when Tab explains that n * 0 is always 0 whatever is n :-)
- # [01:03] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Other possibility that preserves continuity is that when we hit zero width, we pick the average color you'd get
- # 06[01:03] * glazou loves when Tab explains that infinity / n is always infinity whatever is n :-D
- # 06[01:03] * ChrisL returns from steak break
- # [01:03] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Seems kinda complicated for an edge case, but I don't realy care, just want a decision
- # [01:03] <fantasai> TabAtkins: And to be consistent with svg
- # [01:03] <fantasai> Florian: Pixels aren't px
- # [01:03] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I'm fine with saying it's a hairline wide
- # [01:03] <fantasai> Florian: So you do fallback at device pixel
- # [01:04] <fantasai> Brian: WD says to use first oclor stop
- # [01:04] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Yeah, but that's not continuous behavior
- # [01:04] <ChrisL> device pixels is better. because svg scaling can mean that a 1px is really big

- # [01:05] <fantasai> TabAtkins: As you approach the limit, you get that result
- # [01:05] <fantasai> Brian: So it's continuity issue.
- # [01:05] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I'm ok with either way, whatever way implementers would like to do, let's do
- # [01:05] <fantasai> shepazu: SVG, when it hits zero, says that nothing is rendered
- # [01:05] <fantasai> shepazu: That kinda punts on that
- # [01:06] <fantasai> shepazu: I don't know that SVG says anything about approaching zero
- # [01:06] <ChrisL> it does not, no. its either a zero bounding box or it isn't
- # [01:06] <fantasai> shepazu: The averaging thing doesn't seem like what ppl want to do
- # [01:06] <fantasai> fantasai: I think that makes the most sense; asyou zoom out that's what you'd get
- # [01:07] <fantasai> shepazu: It'd be mixed with other color.. start color end color harmonious with page

- # [01:10] <fantasai> TabAtkins: You're allowed to clamp at a smaller size

- # [01:11] <fantasai> dbaron: As the length of the repeating gradient approaches zero, you should average the color.

- # [01:16] <fantasai> dbaron: Need to specify color space to average in

- # [01:18] <dbaron> I think Peter's suggestion was good.
- # [01:19] <fantasai> shepazu: Important part was ... as you zoom in that 1px width is now 50 pixels it should have the whole gradient
- # [01:19] <fantasai> shepazu: You can test that -- chris just wrote a test for that.

- # 06[01:23] * ChrisL is okay with that
- # [01:24] <fantasai> TabAtkins: In the interest of getting gradients unprefixed as soon as they're sufficiently stable, I'd like to either pull gradients out into a Gradients spec, or go through and kick a bunch of stuff into css4-images
- # 06[01:24] * ChrisL ^^ "that" meaning the resolution, not the divergence
- # [01:24] <fantasai> TabAtkins: pecifically, the image() function, the cross-fade() function, and image-* properties

- # [01:28] <fantasai> TabAtkins: 4.2 and 4.4 would go
- # [01:28] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Gradients stay
- # [01:28] <fantasai> TabAtkins: 6 stays; object-* implemented already, rest is image sizing algorithm
- # [01:28] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Rest can be punted to level 4
- # [01:29] <ChrisL> I suggest splitting into css3 graidients and css3 images. because css4 images sounds like its years away, just from the name
- # [01:29] <fantasai> dbaron: Things without 2 impls should be at-risk
- # [01:29] <fantasai> ChrisL, we'll publishing Selectors 4 next month ;)
- # [01:30] <fantasai> TabAtkins: 9 is a separate issue we need to discuss
- # 06[01:30] * ChrisL my point about perception stands, regardless of any actual facts :)
- # [01:30] <fantasai> smfr: Seems we need cross-fade() to interpolate gradients
- # [01:31] <fantasai> Florian: We could pull back into 3 if it stabilizes before CR
- # [01:31] <ChrisL> @smfr you mean to interpolate as in a transition, not to draw the gradient?
- # [01:31] <fantasai> plinss: Any objections to splitting along the lines described?
- # [01:31] <smfr> ChrisL: my point is that interpolation of gradients and images should be in the same spec
- # [01:31] <fantasai> RESOLVED: Split css3-images as described
- # [01:32] <fantasai> TabAtkins: 3rd issue is about gradients directly
- # [01:32] <bradk> I am
- # [01:32] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I've been messing with keyword definitions for gradients
- # [01:33] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Right now you can specify linear gradients by keyword or angle
- # [01:33] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Some very informal polls on twitter, if you ask someone what a gradient with top should do, they agree with the spec
- # [01:33] <fantasai> TabAtkins: If you ask them about angles, they agree with the spec
- # [01:33] <fantasai> TabAtkins: If you ask them both at the same time, they say they should be the same, despite that being inconsistent.
- # [01:34] <fantasai> TabAtkins gives numbers
- # [01:34] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Given this, I think the angles are very easy to see, but the way keywords work right now is confusing
- # [01:34] <fantasai> TabAtkins: So I'm thinking we should drop keywords and work them out better for level 4
- # [01:34] <TabAtkins_> data:text/html,<div id=one></div><div id=two></div><style>div {margin: 50px; border: thick solid black;width: 520px;height: 300px;}#one {background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top left, red, white, blue);}#two {background: -webkit-linear-gradient(-60deg, red, white, blue);}</style>
- # [01:34] <fantasai> TabAtkins: We have an issue that corner-to-corner gradients, for example, are not sufficiently pretty.
- # [01:35] <bradk> he're's mine: http://www.bradclicks.com/cssplay/linear-gradient/corner-to-corner-gradient.png
- # [01:35] <fantasai> TabAtkins: The top one is what corner-to-corner gradients currently do
- # [01:35] <fantasai> TabAtkins: The gradient bands are perpendicular to the diagonal gradient line
- # [01:36] <fantasai> TabAtkins: But the lower picture is what people actually expect/want
- # [01:36] <fantasai> TabAtkins: The two are different by the angle being reflected over the line y=x
- # [01:36] <dbaron> data:text/html,<div class=one></div><div class=two></div><style>div {margin: 50px; border: thick solid black;width: 520px;height: 300px;}.one {background: -moz-linear-gradient(top left, red, white, blue);}.two {background: -moz-linear-gradient(-60deg, red, white, blue);}</style>
- # [01:36] <fantasai> TabAtkins: one is 30deg other is 60deg
- # 03[01:36] * Joins: ChrisL2 (ChrisL@128.30.52.169)
- # [01:36] <dbaron> (for those who don't want to use WebKit to look at it :-)
- # [01:37] <fantasai> Brad: Another way to say is that for corner to corner, the hypothetical midpoint connects the other two corners
- # 02[01:37] * Quits: ChrisL (ChrisL@128.30.52.169) (Ping timeout)
- # [01:37] <fantasai> TabAtkins: With the current spec, the further the rectangle is from a square, the more it looks like a sideways gradient rather than a corner-to-corner one
- # [01:37] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Given this issue, I want to drop keywords for now and address them in level 4
- # [01:38] <fantasai> bradk: Keywords are the most popular way of doing this right now, mostly vertical or horizontal gradients.
- # [01:38] <fantasai> Brian: Instead of up top and bottom, use upwards and downwards and instead of left and right use leftward rightward
- # [01:39] <fantasai> Brian: And remove the paired keyword corner options
- # [01:40] <fantasai> plinss: If we do partial keyword option, then we're locking in our syntax and it'll be incompatible with our future syntax.
- # [01:40] <fantasai> plinss: We'll get into a situation where we dislike our legacy keywords and can't change them.
- # [01:40] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Could use a different function
- # [01:40] <fantasai> dbaron: Authors really want gradients. At some point we need to stop fiddling with it and declare it ready.
- # [01:40] <arno1> We could just have "horizontal" and "vertical" as keywords
- # [01:41] <fantasai> Florian: We're not throwing out all of it, just part of it
- # [01:41] <fantasai> Florian: just the part we don't agree on it.
- # [01:41] <dbaron> anne: We did that with border-radius, and by the time we got it sorted out they weren't popular anymore. :-)
- # [01:41] <fantasai> TabAtkins: We solve the cases we know we need now, get them unprefixed, then see if the remaining cases are useful enough to care
- # [01:42] <fantasai> Brad: the only gradient generators online use the keyword types right now, and because we changed the angle definition, you can't get something that works
- # [01:42] <fantasai> Brad: People use prefixed versions for years.
- # [01:42] <fantasai> TabAtkins: We're not going to use prefixed versions
- # [01:43] <fantasai> Brad: Because we changed meaning of degress, you can't make a backwards compat version
- # [01:43] <fantasai> TabAtkins: You write the prefixed versions with the old syntax, do unprefixed version with spec version
- # [01:44] <fantasai> various try to explain that prefixed versions aren't going to change; they'll change when they drop the prefix
- # [01:45] <smfr> Zakim: gavel
- # [01:45] <fantasai> smfr, you forgot to use a comma
- # [01:45] <fantasai> :P
- # 06[01:45] * hober taught my IRC client to tab-complete Zakim as "Zakim, " instead of "Zakim: " :)
- # [01:45] <fantasai> plinss: How vendors deal with them and their customers is up to them.
- # [01:46] <fantasai> Brad: I don't think we can pretend what we decide here is not going to have ramifications. If we don't have a committment that they won't do that... otherwise we wind up with something unusable
- # [01:46] <fantasai> TabAtkins: That's why nobody will do that.
- # [01:46] <fantasai> dbaron: We've done it plenty of times, but we probably wouldn't do it with this one
- # [01:46] <fantasai> Anne: It worked fine for border-radius, -moz-opacity, etc.
- # [01:47] <fantasai> Brad: I'd like to keep the keyword going and figure it out before we publish it.
- # [01:47] <fantasai> Arron: Do you have a problem with upwards/downwards/etc
- # [01:48] <fantasai> Brad: As plinss pointed out, it'll make it harder for us to get a consistent syntax later when we add corner-to-corner gradients
- # [01:48] <fantasai> TabAtkins: The future has potential. I'm confident I'm not blocking my ability to expand in the future.
- # [01:48] <fantasai> Brad: I don't see the syntax as being problematic.
- # [01:49] <fantasai> Brad: I don't think it needs to change.
- # 06[01:50] * fantasai thinks Tab's questions were skewed and doesn't think his conclusions were valid
- # [01:50] <fantasai> Brad: It's intuitive for a lot of people, and they've learned it, and do we really want to hold up the spec for this.
- # [01:51] <fantasai> ...
- # [01:51] <fantasai> smfr: I'm concerned about having multiple gradient functions. Do I need linear-gradient or corner-gradient?
- # [01:51] <fantasai> smfr: confusing
- # [01:52] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I think we can have a syntax that's different enough there won't be a parsing ambiguity
- # [01:53] <fantasai> Brad: "from top" would be close to current syntax and resolve ambiguity
- # [01:53] <fantasai> Brad: "left" -> "rightwards" is more different
- # [01:54] <fantasai> plinss: The question was about whether to drop the keywords, not about what they should be
- # [01:54] <fantasai> plinss: So do we drop the keywords, or go offline and figure it out
- # [01:54] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I want to drop the corner keywords
- # [01:55] <fantasai> plinss: Sounds like we're don't have consensus
- # [01:55] <fantasai> plinss: Take it to email/telecon
- # [01:55] <fantasai> plinss: Any other gradient issues?
- # [01:55] <fantasai> Brian: Premultiplied? Keep it don't keep it have options?
- # 02[01:55] * Quits: JohnJansen (johnjan@72.254.58.78) (Quit: Leaving.)
- # [01:56] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I think premultiplied produces most attractive gradients in common cases blending with transparent.
- # 02[01:56] * Quits: ChrisL2 (ChrisL@128.30.52.169) (Client exited)
- # [01:56] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I can go either way, depending on implementers
- # [01:56] <fantasai> fantasai: If you go other way, then make 'transparent' magic.
- # [01:57] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I don't want to make transparent magic.
- # [01:58] <fantasai> ?: Drop 'transparent' keyword, make everybody use rgba()
- # [01:58] <dbaron> Tab: If we're going to go non-premultiplied, then disallow use of 'transparent' and make everybody use rgba()
- # [01:58] <fantasai> fantasai: That's horrible. You're making the author do the work.
- # [01:59] <fantasai> ??: You have the same problem with transitions.
- # [01:59] <fantasai> fantasai: gradient from color to tranparent is very common use case
- # [01:59] <fantasai> smfr: Reality is that if we go with premultiplied we won't have it working correctly on Mac for another year or so
- # 03[01:59] * Joins: ChrisL (ChrisL@128.30.52.169)
- # [02:00] <fantasai> anne: If it's just a year, I say head for the future.
- # [02:00] <fantasai> Vincent: Example of where premultiplied looks better?
- # [02:00] <fantasai> TabAtkins: yellow to transparent, in premultiplied goes from yellow, fading to transparent
- # [02:01] <nimbupani> http://jsfiddle.net/rK9Pd/11/show/
- # [02:01] <fantasai> TabAtkins: in non-premultilied, goes through an ugly grayish greeny color
- # [02:01] <nimbupani> (check in webkit vs opera)
- # [02:01] <fantasai> TabAtkins: If you go red - transparent - blue, if you want to make it work correct in non-premultiplied, you have to write red, transparent-red, transparent-blue, blue, placing transparent-blue and transparent-red at the same spot in the gradient
- # [02:02] <fantasai> plinss: Why don't we want to do premultiplied?
- # [02:02] <fantasai> TabAtkins: It's not natively available on some platforms

- # [02:04] <fantasai> Brian: Alan Gresley was asking about non-premultiplied gradients because there are some cases that you'd want that result
- # [02:04] <fantasai> TabAtkins: You could simulate it by manually arc it through the color space, it's tricky, but doable, and a very uncommon case in comparison
- # [02:04] <fantasai> Brian: I had good results with Opera
- # [02:05] <fantasai> TabAtkins: With Opera and IE we'll have 2 impls, so let's stick with that.
- # [02:05] <fantasai> RESOLVED: Use premultiplied colors for gradients and transitions
- # [02:05] <fantasai> shepazu: At the outset of this effort, there was discussion about remaining compatible with SVG gradients.. was that abandoned?
- # [02:06] <fantasai> TabAtkins: No. SVG doesn't have alpha colors.
- # [02:06] <fantasai> shepazu: Talking about geometry
- # [02:06] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Yeah, I don't think that's useful. But I was going to talk tomorrow about using SVG paint servers in CSS or CSS gradients in SVG.
- # [02:06] <fantasai> shepazu: So an engine supporting both will have to support two different things.
- # [02:06] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Yes.
- # [02:07] <fantasai> plinss: Ok, let's discuss that tomorrow. Grids.
- # [02:07] <fantasai> Topic: Grids
- # [02:08] <fantasai> Phil: My name is Phil and I'm from MS.
- # [02:09] <fantasai> Phil: We recently published new editor's draft. Hoping none of it's controversial so we can go through it quickly.
- # [02:09] <fantasai> Phil: With one possible reduction in functionality in grid template property
- # 06[02:10] * sylvaing forgot to tell Phil that opening with the words 'not controversial' wakes everyone up
- # [02:10] <fantasai> Phil: specifically, assinging display types to grid pseudos
- # [02:11] <fantasai> ACTION Phil: Post notes to www-style or www-archive so they can be put in the minutes
- # 06[02:11] * trackbot noticed an ACTION. Trying to create it.
- # [02:11] <trackbot> Sorry, couldn't find user - Phil
- # 06[02:11] * RRSAgent records action 11
- # [02:11] <smfr> http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-grid-align/
- # [02:11] <fantasai> Phil: 7.2 covered explicitly defined grid cells, creating named grid cells
- # [02:11] <fantasai> Phil: You could place children of the grid into them. We're removing that
- # [02:11] <fantasai> Phil: Removing grid-stacking property, which said which layout this explicitly-defined grid cell would be using
- # 02[02:11] * Quits: ChrisL (ChrisL@128.30.52.169) (Client exited)
- # [02:12] <fantasai> Phil: The other mode it had was layer, which was the default layout type for a grid cell so items would layer on top of others
- # [02:12] <fantasai> Phil: When we presented that at MV ...
- # 02[02:12] * Quits: glazou (glazou@72.254.87.99) (Client exited)
- # [02:12] <fantasai> Phil: Talked about creating flows inside a grid cell
- # [02:13] <fantasai> Phil: And assigning display types to the grid cell
- # 03[02:13] * Joins: glazou (glazou@72.254.87.99)
- # [02:13] <fantasai> Phil: This was about creating presentation-specific structure through declaration of these grid cells, trying to remove concept form the grid layout spec
- # 06[02:13] * fantasai needs Das Keyboard
- # [02:14] <fantasai> Phil: We also added new paragraph about grid cell concept. We still have logicla notion of a grid cell, but it's just an alias syntax for referring to a region of the grid.
- # [02:14] <fantasai> Phil: But we're saying it's not stylable
- # [02:14] <fantasai> Phil: It's just a way to name a spot on the grid
- # [02:14] <fantasai> Phil: In section 6.4 , repeating columns and rows. e got some ffeedback that the name dlines syntax we had didn't make sense inside repeating syntax
- # [02:14] <fantasai> Phil: Since it defined that only the firs toccurance of the name would be honore, and purpose of repeat syntax is to replay the grid lines over
- # [02:15] <fantasai> Phil: Added issue as te whether to remove that ability from there
- # [02:15] <fantasai> Phil: Any feedback, send it, otherwise we'll remove
- # [02:15] <fantasai> Phil: We also had another isuse on the grammar, for grid columns and grid rows
- # [02:15] <fantasai> Phil: So we changed from ... to ...
- # [02:15] <fantasai> Phil: I'll let you figure it out; trust me the new one is better.
- # [02:16] <fantasai> Phil: Section 7.1 anonymous grid cells, we just added some language about relation between grid cells
- # [02:16] <fantasai> Phil: Now it's just logical container, what does it do to grid items inside.
- # [02:16] <fantasai> Phil: Define them as containing block
- # [02:16] <fantasai> Phil: And we said how they came ito being, added language defining dminesions of the grid cell etc.
- # [02:17] <fantasai> Phil: Next is explicitly defined grid cells, 7.2 is gone
- # [02:17] <fantasai> Phil: Defining grid cells with a template is still there
- # [02:17] <fantasai> Phil: Still use the ascii-art syntax
- # [02:17] <fantasai> Phil: Keeping around grid-cell proeprty, just don't have pseudo-element selector
- # [02:17] <fantasai> Phil: Can still define grid, and put things in it
- # [02:17] <fantasai> Phil: witht hat
- # [02:17] <fantasai> Phil: Section 7.5 automatic placement of grid items.
- # [02:18] <fantasai> Phil: It's no longer what we're thinking, so removed note
- # [02:18] <fantasai> Phil: ...
- # [02:18] <fantasai> Phil: Importance of automatic placement, some language about fixup of grid; it matches language in flexbox
- # [02:18] <fantasai> Phil: And we noted that if we don't have this fature, the fixup isn't useful
- # [02:18] <fantasai> Phil: Everything just gets dumped into first grid row. We're planning to leave in, so this is just an observation
- # [02:19] <fantasai> Phil: I just renamed section 8.1 .. size of grid items.
- # [02:19] <fantasai> Phil: Needs more work; need to specify box model calculations
- # [02:19] <fantasai> Phil: So if going to be stretched, questions like whta if you have a replaced element with intrinsic ratio ...........
- # [02:20] <fantasai> Phil: 10 calculating isze of grid tracks. Don't know if anyone is implementing, or thinking of implementing, but if so, we've published osme pseudo-code about sizing these bits of the grid.
- # [02:20] <fantasai> Phil: Some bugs in it still
- # [02:20] <fantasai> Phil: We'll update a few more times before pushing to WD
- # [02:20] <fantasai> Phil: Lastly all these changes captured in Appendix A
- # [02:20] <fantasai> Phil: That is everything we have changed. The biggest piece is obviously the inability now to create these grid cells that you can give a display inside to control how they layout their contents, does anybody have objections to removing concept from the spec?
- # [02:21] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Ok with it, majority of my use cases don't need it.
- # [02:21] <fantasai> TabAtkins: But if I ant to use this with regions, I need to nwo insert dummy elements to position them with grid ...
- # [02:21] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I greatly disagree that I should put dummy divs in my doc
- # [02:21] <fantasai> Markus: We think that should be defined somewhere other than grid
- # [02:22] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I hate junk put into your page for the sole purpose of styling.
- # [02:23] <fantasai> Tab tries to explain the difference between semantic markup and stylistic presentation to the MS folks
- # [02:23] <fantasai> Steve: Aren't templates a little bit of both?
- # [02:24] <fantasai> TabAtkins: As long as we keep in mind that we might want to do this more generalized in the future, then I'm cool.
- # [02:24] <bradk> If the CSS is creating the pseudo-elements, then conceivably more regions can be created to accomodate more content.
- # [02:24] <fantasai> Vincent: We have a resolution on this from the morning.
- # [02:24] <fantasai> ...
- # 06[02:25] * fantasai agrees with Tab
- # [02:25] <fantasai> Alex: One issue that we discovered ... which was that alignment in grid is currently different from alignment in flexbox
- # [02:26] <fantasai> Alex: What we discussed yesterday flexbox alignment, we kinda liked the idea of what grid is doing now. We're going to come up with a proposal that will make something consistent between the two.
- # [02:26] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Don't think they need to be different when both flexing and aligning stuff
- # [02:26] <fantasai> Markus: Q for Peter, we experiment with named lines, and ended up with very long strings.
- # [02:27] <fantasai> Markus: Is ther ea way to shortcut this somehow? Authoring becomes awkward.
- # [02:27] <fantasai> Phil: This example uses template
- # [02:27] <fantasai> Phil: It only takes one letter to name a position
- # [02:27] <fantasai> Phil: with named grid lines
- # [02:28] <fantasai> Phil: You end up putting 4 strings for each item that you had
- # [02:28] <fantasai> Phil: It gets a little verbose
- # [02:28] <fantasai> Phil: I think in practice if you have a grid, and have a large number of grid items
- # [02:29] <fantasai> Phil: And don't want to renumber them, you probably won't use named lines anyway
- # [02:29] <fantasai> TabAtkins: What wins if you use grid-rows, grid-columns
- # [02:29] <fantasai> Phil: If the grid cell exists, then it wins
- # 02[02:29] * Quits: bradk (bradk@99.7.175.117) (Quit: Get MacIrssi - http://www.sysctl.co.uk/projects/macirssi/ )
- # [02:29] <fantasai> TabAtkins: What properties apply to grid templae ??
- # [02:30] <fantasai> ...
- # [02:30] <fantasai> Phil: You can only use ascii letters in grid template
- # [02:30] <fantasai> Florian: Disallowing punctuation doesn't disallow Chinese characters or accented characters...
- # [02:30] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Most reasonable layouts won't use 26, but last year I was looking at some very complicated layouts that were pushing it
- # [02:31] <fantasai> Arron: I had 180 in a layout I did
- # [02:31] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I think you should say any single character
- # [02:31] <fantasai> fantasai: grapheme cluster
- # [02:32] <fantasai> ...
- # [02:32] <dbaron> I wouldn't allow more than characters that are allowed to start identifiers.
- # [02:32] <fantasai> Phil: Would you use numbers ... ?
- # [02:34] <fantasai> dbaron: That includes most of Unicode except some ascii punctuation and stuff
- # [02:35] <fantasai> plinss: Where it gets unweildy with grid names, it's not so much where they're defined as where they're used
- # [02:35] <dbaron> template: "北北北北" "西中中东" "西中中东" "西中中东" "西南南东";
- # [02:35] <fantasai> ...
- # [02:36] <fantasai> plinss: I'm not concerned about the verbosity of the grid columns declaration
- # [02:36] <fantasai> plinss: I fyou line it up like that, I think it's readable
- # [02:36] <fantasai> plinss: Later when you do the grid-column ...
- # [02:36] <fantasai> Phil: You have up to for lines for positioning, so that's not too bad.
- # [02:36] <fantasai> Phil: But if you have a lot of grid items, that gets quite large
- # [02:36] <fantasai> plinss: Depends on how large your grid is
- # [02:37] <fantasai> Phil: No issues open on it, these are just some comments we got back
- # [02:37] <fantasai> plinss: Maybe you can have something that maps grid cells back into named grid lines
- # [02:37] <fantasai> plinss: Right now you can only do that with template.
- # [02:37] <fantasai> plinss: What if you could define a grid-cell "foo" defiend by these named lines
- # [02:38] <fantasai> plinss: You're not defining the grid template, so not single-letter names; use multi-character names
- # [02:38] <fantasai> Phil: We had ::grid-cell() pseudo that could do that
- # [02:38] <fantasai> Phil: It was tyleable enough that you coudl specify the ...
- # [02:38] <fantasai> Phil: Ultimately we pulled that out
- # [02:39] <fantasai> Phil: Anything else?
- # [02:39] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Alex and I were talking about dropping the 'fr' unit and just using the flex() function
- # [02:39] <fantasai> for flexbox
- # [02:40] <fantasai> Alex: Flex function can do everything fr unit can do in flex, but fr unit is just a shortcut for one of the use of flex function
- # [02:40] <dbaron> Isn't 'fr' a shortcut for one of the uses of the flex() function that requires all three arguments?
- # [02:40] <fantasai> Alex: In a grid fr is a basic of how it is calculated
- # [02:40] <fantasai> Alex: it would be .. also allow flex function in grid, in which case you could replace fr unit with it or have both
- # [02:41] <fantasai> Phil: right now we have minmax function, and cna mix that with min-content, max-content keywords
- # [02:41] <fantasai> Phil: Would we introduce flex() function there?
- # 06[02:41] * ed wonders what this meant: "TabAtkins: No. SVG doesn't have alpha colors." (most if not all browsers already support rgba/hsla syntax in svg colors/gradients, also there's stop-opacity in svg gradients)
- # [02:41] <fantasai> Alex: flex function has flexibility and preferred size
- # [02:41] <fantasai> Alex: ...
- # [02:41] <fantasai> Alex: Auto and flexibility at once.. produces the same calculation .. maximum, however preferred size of column based on content
- # 02[02:41] * Quits: glazou (glazou@72.254.87.99) (Ping timeout)
- # [02:42] <fantasai> Phil: There's just an issue we haven't resolved in the spec now
- # [02:42] <fantasai> Alex: For flexbox you don't specify 50 values for an items, so flex() being longer than a unit is not a big deal, but on a grid probably woudln't want to replace fr unitl with flex
- # [02:42] <fantasai> Alex: Make it even longer
- # [02:42] <fantasai> Alex: So if in grid definition fr is shortcut for flex(), we could kepe it for flex
- # [02:43] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I'm uncomfortable with two of us using different notions of flex
- # [02:43] <fantasai> dbaron: fr right now is equivalent to flex() on a basis of 0, and 0 is not the defautl for that third argument
- # [02:43] <fantasai> TabAtkins: I changed flex() ...
- # [02:44] <fantasai> TabAtkins: If you say flex(1), you start from zero
- # [02:44] <fantasai> TabAtkins: That's not what my spec says right now
- # [02:44] <fantasai> Alex: ...
- # [02:44] <fantasai> TabAtkins: Ok, we need to discuss this
- # [02:44] <fantasai> dbaron: I agree with Alex, but I think that's another reason to keep fr.
- # [02:44] <dbaron> s/.../the omitted preferred width should default to initial value/
- # [02:45] <fantasai> Arron: We submitted our proposal for floats and positioning, and we decided to split those. Alex volunteered me to do the editing

- # 03[02:45] * Joins: glazou (glazou@72.254.87.99)
- # [02:45] <fantasai> Arron: So you can take a look at it.Not too many differences from 2.1
- # [02:46] <fantasai> Arron: Most of it's what 2.1 says, with some little clarifications of handling our new value. So you won't see a lot of differences.
- # [02:46] <fantasai> Arron: Will jump straight to some changes.
- # [02:46] <fantasai> Arron: So our first change that we have here is page positioning.
- # [02:46] <fantasai> Arron: What this defines is a way to go straight for the initial containing block, much like fixed positioning does but without fixing on the page
- # [02:46] <fantasai> Arron: So size and positioning based on initial containing block
- # [02:46] <fantasai> Arron: It'll go all the way to the initial containing block, and positioning off of that box.
- # [02:47] <fantasai> Arron: That's the first part.
- # [02:47] <fantasai> smfr: How is it different from position: fixed
- # [02:47] <glazou> http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/css3-positioning/ (trailing slash DOES matter)
- # [02:47] <fantasai> Rossen: If we create a region each the size of containing block, you want to have one positioned to the current region
- # [02:47] <fantasai> Rossen: Don't want to rely on how many relative and abspos elements in your ancestor chain
- # [02:48] <tantek> lol: http://twitter.com/getify/status/95648509319069696 <center> vs CSS
- # [02:48] <fantasai> Rossen: Different from position: fixed because in scrolling media, it's fixed to initial contianing block. So element scrolls along with the rest of the content
- # [02:48] <fantasai> Rossen: Similar to abspos content that has no positioned ancestor
- # [02:48] <fantasai> Rossen: Whereas fixed replicates
- # 06[02:48] * tantek notices Tab already responded to the bug http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=13361
- # [02:49] <fantasai> Rosse: Position page was specific to design so you can target only the current page, and unlike position: fixed; position: paged; elements ... you can position negatively, and you can overflow, and that's just fine, whereas fixed position that just clips
- # [02:49] <fantasai> dbaron: So it's positioned on the current page relative to its placeholder.
- # [02:51] <fantasai> fantasai: My concern is that you'll get a layout that makes sense on paged media, but breaks in scrolled. Opposite problem of fixed positioning.
- # 03[02:52] * Joins: jdaggett (jdaggett@202.221.217.73)
- # [02:52] <fantasai> fantasai: e.g. if you use this on a 15-page document, positioning 15-20 things throughout the document across the 15 pages, looks fine
- # [02:52] <fantasai> fantasai: Load that into a scrolled view, and everything piles on top of each other in the first screenful, and then scrolls away with the rest of the document empty
- # [02:53] <fantasai> ...
- # [02:53] <fantasai> Alex: We should have discusison of what are different aspects of paged media
- # [02:53] <fantasai> Alex: Some means it's non-interactive, you're on paper
- # [02:53] <fantasai> Alex: Some of it means you're paginated
- # [02:53] <fantasai> Alex: From pov of layout, it's tempting to apply paged media to regions. But it's not paged media
- # [02:54] <fantasai> Alex: Should we have a new media type?
- # [02:54] <fantasai> fantasai: I think so.
- # [02:54] <fantasai> Arron: What I"m trying to ge there is, we have this defintion right now, it may need more work as fantasai points out.
- # [02:55] <fantasai> Arron: What I'd like to do is put it up on W3C as an actual editor's draft, so we can start to shape something that works
- # [02:55] <fantasai> plinss: Anybody objecting?
- # [02:55] <fantasai> RESOLVED: Put CSS3 Positioning draft on dev.w3.org
- # [02:55] <fantasai> Arron: That's pretty much it. Please review once it's up
- # [02:56] <fantasai> plinss: Some flexbox issues to get back to?

- # [21:12] <hyatt> or
- # [21:12] <hyatt> i dunno
- # [21:12] <dbaron> it's either 2-pass and suboptimal or abitrary-N-pass and correct
- # [21:13] <dbaron> the draft hasn't specified which yet
- # 06[21:17] * fantasai wasn't paying much attention either
- # 06[21:17] * fantasai 's position on the positioning module is that whatever dbaron says is probably right
- # [21:17] <fantasai> :)

- # [21:25] <hyatt> dbaron: is the expectation that positioned floats affect positioned descendants as well or only the normal flow
- # [21:25] <hyatt> there's some confusing sentence in there about block formatting contexts
- # [21:25] <hyatt> "A positioned-float box intersects with other elements in the same or other block formatting contexts. "
- # [21:25] <dbaron> positioned descendants of what?
- # [21:25] <hyatt> i have no idea what that sentence means
- # [21:26] <dbaron> (That said, my response should probably be: you're asking *me*?)
- # [21:26] <hyatt> "or other block formatting contexts"
- # [21:26] <hyatt> sounds like they expect it to actually affect things other than just your normal flow descendants
- # 03[21:26] * Joins: arron (Arron@24.17.123.244)
- # [21:26] <hyatt> but maybe they just mean normal flow objects that establish bfcs
- # [21:26] <hyatt> like overflow
- # [21:26] <hyatt> or columns
