OSX 10.5 PPC kept crashing on exit. After blaming bad compiles, bad python libs
and all other reasons (almost was switching to linux!) brecht found the bad line
in python free code. There was code freeing stuff whilst it wasnt allowed to.
Mac PPC gets hug!
Dicts are converted to operator properties like this:
bpy.ops.armature.extrude_forked(TRANSFORM_OT_translate={"value":(2,0,1)})
Note that this doesn't work quite well if one operator is twice in the same macro, but that's a problem at the RNA level too. I'll have to deal with that eventually.
Fixed and completed support for returning multiple values. This includes support for returning arrays, both fixed and dynamically sized. The way this is achieved is by storing an additional int value next to the dynamic parameter in the ParameterList stack which gets passed to the C function as an additional parameter. In the case of return parameters it is duty of the C function to set this int to the correct length value for the dynamic parameter (which makes sense). Note that for the dynamic output/return parameter it is assumed the function has allocated that memory (which gets freed automatically).
Also, I cleaned the makesrna's bridge function generation code a bit and renamed PROP_RETURN to PROP_OUTPUT, which represents better the reality now that there are multiple returns. The function now to mark multiple returns (outputs) is RNA_def_function_output.
For an example, look at Action.get_frame_range in rna_action_api.c, by the way Aligorith I removed the #ifdef for this function now that there's support for returning arrays, feel free to modify (the function seems to work).
* inline some more functions, from math_base and math_vector
* also made some changes to the way inline is done so it can
work for more than one file
* reflect_v3_v3v3 requires input vectors to be normalized now.
* added rgb_to_grayscale
* added zero_v4, copy_v4_v4, swap_v4_v4, is_one_v3
* added box_clip_bounds_m4 to clip a bounding box against a
projection matrix
python modules bpy.app, bpy.utils are now included in docs.
C defined python module bpy.props has its docstrings extracted and written directly into sphinx docs since the C methods cant be inspected.
added docstrings to bpy.props and improved some in bpy.utils.
will update online docs tomorrow.
written from scratch by Daniel Salazar (zanqdo). added own modifications.
New property type
bpy.props.FloatVectorProperty(), only difference with float is it takes a 'size' argument and optional 'default' sequence of floats.
moved bpy.props.* functions out of bpy_rna.c into their own C file.
- arguments, return values indentation means they get correctly interpreted by sphinx
- functions with no return values were displaying return as ()
- return values were getting the '(optional)' added in some cases.
Example:
http://www.blender.org/documentation/250PythonDoc/bpy.ops.object.html
blender supports type changing for textures in a way that python doesnt.
add a new general function.
Example usage:
tex = bpy.data.textures.new("Foo")
tex.type = 'IMAGE'
tex = tex.recast_type()
Macro to give the number of users accounting for fake user.
ID_REAL_USERS(id)
Use this so you can remove a datablock if it has a fake users as well as apply transformations to it in the 3D view.
Move api function bpy.data.add_texture() --> bpy.data.textures.new()/remove()
this is too arbitrary and could break if roperty order is changed.
store the property in the operator type that is to be used for menu and enum search func's.
python function for searching operator enums on invoke. (just need dynamic python enums now)
wm.invoke_search_popup(self)
change how data is added. eg.
bpy.data.add_mesh(name) --> bpy.data.meshes.new(name)
bpy.data.remove_lamp(lamp) --> bpy.data.lamps.remove(lamp)
image and texture stil use add_* funcs
- scene.render_data.frame_path(frame=num), returns the output path for rending images of video.
- scene.render_data.file_extension, readonly attribute, gives the extension ".jpg", ".mov" etc
- player support was guessing names, use the above functions to get the actual names used, accounting for #'s replacing numbers.
from the report...
# bug 1. UV properties are not raw editable but are reported
# as RAW_TYPE_INT by RNA causing wrong conversion
# internally (bpy_rna.c line 2205)
# bug 2. raw update of UV coordinates crash blender (rna_access.c line 252)
mtfaces.foreach_set("uv", rawuvs)
# workaround:
#for i in range(int(len(faces)/4)):
# mtfaces[i].uv = uvs[i]
# bug 3. raw update of non-array property fails (rna_access.c line 2270)
mfaces.foreach_set("material_index", mats)
# workaround:
# for i in range(int(len(mfaces))):
# mfaces[i].material_index = mats[i]
# bug 4. It is not possible to add a vertex color layer using mesh API.
me.add_vertex_color()
# no workaround...
Highlights:
* Support for Multi-Target Variables
This was the main reason for this recode. Previously, variables could only be used to give some RNA property used as an input source to the driver a name. However, this meant that effects such as Rotational Difference couldn't be used in conjunction with other effects and/or settings to achieve the powerful results. Now, a variable can take several input targets, perform some interesting operations on them, and spit out a representative value based on that.
* New Variable Types
With the introduction of multi-target variables, there are now 3 types of variable that can be used: single property (i.e. the only type previously), Rotational Difference (angle between two bones), and Distance (distance between two objects or bones).
* New Driver Types
In addition to the existing 'Average', 'Sum', and 'Expression' types, there is now the additional options of 'Minimum' and 'Maximum'. These take the smallest/largest value that one of the variables evaluates to.
* Fix for Driver F-Curve colouring bug
Newly added drivers did not get automatically coloured in the Graph Editor properly. Was caused by inappropriate notifiers being used.
Notes:
* This commit breaks existing 2.5 files with drivers (in other words, they are lost forever).
* Rigify has been corrected to work with the new system. The PyAPI for accessing targets used for the variables could still be made nicer (using subclassing to directly access?), but that is left for later.
* Version patching for 2.49 files still needs to be put back in place.
from bpy.app import binary_path, version, version_string, home
can add constant variables from blender here as needed (maybe functions too... bpy.app.memory_usage() ?)
