* Convert all code to use new functions.
* Branch maintainers may want to skip this commit, and run this
conversion script instead, if they use a lot of math functions
in new code:
http://www.pasteall.org/9052/python
* When there is only a single keyframe for a F-Curve, the handles aren't shown anymore. This looks nicer than the fat orange blobs that appeared
* Tweaked the management of GL_BLEND when drawing animation channels in the Graph Editor in an attempt to fix some of the missing text drawn issues.
* Converted the properties panel to use layout engine + added color selectors
* #19790: Circle Select doesn't work for Armature edit mode or pose mode
* Duplicate bones (Shift-D) was calling the wrong operator. This now uses the macro version, instead of the copy only.
ob.driver_add("location")
ob.driver_add("location", 0) # x location only
Also changed ANIM_add_driver so an index of -1 adds drivers to every item in the array
* Loading old files didn't initialise the new rotation variables properly
* Fixed some errors with the newly added operator for copying RNA-paths for properties
* Auto-keyframing now correctly refreshes animation editors after adding keyframes. Made the keyingsets code send notifiers again, but now using the newly added WM_main_event_add() (thanks Brecht)
* A few UI tweaks again for animation stuff (timeline, keyingsets UI)
Drivers can now be copied/pasted for single properties, allowing drivers set up on one property to be added to a few other properties relatively easily.
Also, added description strings for the other driver-button operators.
* Some of the patches in patch #19034 - by Wolfgang W. (bender)
- outliner.patch - a small fix to make the outliner draw the last
line of the list, if the list is bigger than the window.
- scroll.patch - enables vertical scrolling in the buttons window in horizontal mode. Necessary if a panel is opened that
is higher than the buttons window.
* Also, fixed some messy comments in drivers code
Example code: http://www.pasteall.org/7332/c.
New API functions: http://www.pasteall.org/7330/c.
Maximum number of dimensions is currently limited to 3, but can be increased arbitrarily if needed.
What this means for ID property access:
* MeshFace.verts - dynamic array, size 3 or 4 depending on MFace.v4
* MeshTextureFace.uv - dynamic, 2-dimensional array, size depends on MFace.v4
* Object.matrix - 2-dimensional array
What this means for functions:
* more intuitive API possibility, for example:
Mesh.add_vertices([(x, y, z), (x, y, z), ...])
Mesh.add_faces([(1, 2, 3), (4, 5, 6), ...])
Python part is not complete yet, e.g. it is possible to:
MeshFace.verts = (1, 2, 3) # even if Mesh.verts is (1, 2, 3, 4) and vice-versa
MeshTextureFace.uv = [(0.0, 0.0)] * 4 # only if a corresponding MFace is a quad
but the following won't work:
MeshTextureFace.uv[3] = (0.0, 0.0) # setting uv[3] modifies MTFace.uv[1][0] instead of MTFace.uv[3]
* Text window font size now supports full range 8-32, instead of
just 12 and 15. I added BLF_fixed_width to get the character
width of a fixed size font.
* Buttons do undo push on change again.
* Animated/Keyframe/Driver colors are now themable, with blend
value to blend with original color. Set this to 0.5 now to
give colors less constrast.
* Fix tooltip popping up with RMB menu open, and missing redraw.
* Autokeyframe now works for buttons.
* Driver expressions can be edited in place in a button now.
(still some refresh issues).
* Also made python driver default for the Add Driver function
in the RMB button. This way you don't have to open a Graph
editor if you just want to type an expression. Also, the
default expression then is the current value.
* Tooltips now show some extra info, not sure what is good to
have, but currently I added:
* Shortcut key for operator buttons.
* Python struct & property name for RNA buttons.
* Expression for driven values.
* Value for text/search/pointer buttons.
* F-Modifier API is now in its own file in blenkernel
* Renamed and refactored these so that they're no dependent on F-Curves, since all they really used was the fcu->modifiers list
* Added missing license blocks to a few files
The Python API to define Panels and Operators is based on subclassing,
this makes that system more generic, and based on RNA. Hopefully that
will make it easy to make various parts of Blender more extensible.
* The system simply uses RNA properties and functions and marks them
with REGISTER to make them part of the type registration process.
Additionally, the struct must provide a register/unregister callback
to create/free the PanelType or similar.
* From the python side there were some small changes, mainly that
registration now goes trough bpy.types.register instead of
bpy.ui.addPanel.
* Only Panels have been wrapped this way now. Check rna_ui.c to see
how this code works. There's still some rough edges and possibilities
to make it cleaner, though it works without any manual python code.
* Started some docs here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/RNATypeRegistration
* Also changed some RNA_property and RNA_struct functions to not
require a PointerRNA anymore, where they were not required (which
is actually the cause of most changed files).
* Widgets now get coloured when driven. The colour used is debatable, but I've just set it to a purplish colour so that it's easy to distinguish from animated/keyframes/highlight colours.
* New drivers are given generator F-Curve modifiers by default so that they at least show up in the view.
Drivers can now be Added/Removed from buttons using the D/Alt-D hotkeys, and also through the menu. Driver settings (i.e. the target) are not set by default. To set those, go to the Graph Editor (see notes).
Notes:
* Buildsystem maintainers - I've added a new file "editors/animation/drivers.c"
* Widget colours for the driven-setting indications are needed
* To see the new drivers, go into Graph Editor -> "Drivers" mode. Currently, there's a little bug there which prevents editing of the new drivers.
