Polygons used PolyLine::render() to render the path.
However since 7bb8ca1e76, the PolyLine path is constrained
(for automation lanes), and closed shaped polygons were not
always completely redrawn.
Cairo::curve_to renders cubic Bézier splines, those are not
generally useful in a DAW context.
Canvas::Curve implements centripetal catmull-rom spline drawing
which can be used for fades and automation interpolation.
Previously this was inherited via PBD.
On MacOS/X, this adds
"-undefined dynamic_lookup -flat_namespace"
and various "-framework .." options to linkflags
Without this flag, .dylibs fail to link usually because
of missing `-lintl` (Undefined symbols: "_libintl_dgettext")
On other systems this is a NO-OP:
CFLAGS_OSX, CXXFLAGS_OSX and LINKFLAGS_OSX
are only set on the darwin platform.
This partially reverts 2edbda2526.
Using cairo-groups increases performance on MacOS, and retains
retina-resolution.
However it adds a performance regression for MS Windows graphics
rendering. cairo-groups use a "similar" surface, not an image surface.
Empirically this adds significant overhead compared to rendering
using the CPU and using bitblt.
For MacOS/X this is equivalent, rendering happens using a
CGBitmapContext + image-surface. Windows and Linux needs profiling
for respective equivalent surfaces.
This is an intermediate commit, before replacing image surfaces with
cairo pattern groups.
The eventual goal is to reduce flickering and/or use
CPU + bitblt for specific widgets instead of cairo
graphics-cards accel.
This also removes excessive calls to getenv() for every rendering
operation.
