* User interface uses this as a tooltip when NULL or "" is given.
* Python doc generation includes this description
* Python defined ops take the description as an argument.
* NULL check to image_ops.c, was crashing on exit when there was an image open.
Added CTRL+W save Blender file.
It's the first user of the uiPupMenuSaveOver() function,
which I've recoded to accept an operator pointer.
This is required because the operator property 'filename'
has to be set to work. Other 'save over' users will
require running operators too I guess.
Scene browse button now works.
Note that animsys currently executes animation for the entire
database, so multiple scenes in multiple windows don't work yet.
Various fixes:
- crash on invoking filewindow when mouse outside (active) window
- removed obsolete error prints (set screen error, copy data error)
- displist fix for loading files with curve/nurbs, the select-outline
then didnt draw immediately.
- outliner allows scene activating
- Node editor: link cut back, now under ALT+LMB, to prevent
accidents. Note it now nicely intersects the real curved
noodles with a line you draw!
- To make above work, replaced ogl curve draw with own bezier
code.
- Added new WM standard operator callback for lines-gesture,
the Lasso gesture now draws a closed line.
- Both callbacks have optional property 'cursor' to make it
give modal info. For future also linestyle or color can be
defined.
- Changed 'pin' icon in Image header to something that looks
less scary... but there's no pin icon yet?
- Added back CTRL+X "reload start-up file".
(Original name 'erase all' is a bit misleading, but we can
go over all naming conventions later :)
- Added memfree for triple buffer data.
* I've had to remap 'Duplicate window' to Ctrl Alt W instead...
* Fixed some bugs with armature context iterators for X-Axis Mirroring. Now, the code there checks for mirrored bones in the right way.
For details on how to write tools that need to cope with this option, refer to the 'Align Bones' operator. I'll port another simple operator as another good example soon.
Additional notes:
Currently, armature_sync_selection() is really buggy (not part of this commit), and needs further attention.
* Changed uiPupMenuOperator usage to uiPupMenuBegin/End (simpler,
no need to build a string). Also made transform orientation and
subdiv type enums instead of ints for this.
* Added an icon argument to many of the uiMenu calls, and added a
uiMenuItemIntO.
* Move auto rna button creation out of outliner code, now is
uiDefAutoButR for individual buttons and uiDefAutoButsRNA for a
whole block.
* Implemented uiPupBlock(O). Pressing F6 gives a menu with the
properties of the last operator to test. I tried to make a redo
last operator out of this but couldn't get the context correct
for the operator to repeat in. Further the popup block also has
some issues getting closed while editing buttons.
* Fix uiAfterFunc memory leak on Ctrl+Q quit.
* Fix handling of RNA number button dragging and sliding for RNA
buttons with range -inf/inf.
Sanitized the 'tweak' event.
Original idea was to have WM event system generating it
automatically. However, I first tested it via a handler
and operator, to check what kind of configurations would
be useful. It appeared to not work nice, also because
that inserting a tweak operator in a keymap is confusing.
Now 'tweaks' are generated automatically, and can be
catched by keymaps as any event. The current definition
of tweak is:
- if Left/Middle/Rightmouse pressed
if event wasn't handled by window queue (modal handlers)
start checking mousepositions
- while mousepositions are checked
- escape on any event other than mouse
- on mouse events:
- add tweak event if mousemove > 10 pixels
- stop checking for tweak if mousebutton released
- Tweak events have a define indicating mousebutton used
EVT_TWEAK_L, EVT_TWEAK_M, EVT_TWEAK_R
- In keymap definitions you can use _S or _A to map to
action or select mouse userdef.
- Event value in keymap should be KM_ANY for all tweaks,
or use one of the eight directions:
EVT_GESTURE_E, _SE, _S, _SW, _W, _NW, _N, _NE
- And of course you can add modifier checks in keymaps for it.
- Because tweaks are a result of mouse events, the handlers get
both to evaluate. That means that RMB-select + tweak will work
correctly.
In case you don't want both to be handled, for example the
CTRL+LMB 'extrude' and CTRL+LMB-tweak 'lasso select', you will
need to set the first acting on a EVT_RELEASE, this event only
gets passed on when tweak fails.
The current system allows all options, configurable, we had in 2.48,
and many more! A diagram of what's possible is on the todo. :)
Also in this commit: lasso select editmesh failed with 'zbuffer
occluded select'. Also circle-select failed.
- Renamed MESH_OT_mesh_selection_mode_menu to MESH_OT_mesh_selection_type since the operator doesnt have to be accessed from a menu.
Shaul, you might want to look over this, using enums means WM_menu_invoke can be used instead of writing an invoke function for each operator.
Added error messages to WM_menu_invoke if no enum "type" property is found.
Big commit, but mainly adminstration.
- Enabled ot->flag OPTYPE_UNDO to work.
- Removed all redundant ED_undo_pushes, but I'd
recommend everyone to check it while testing. :)
- Added view manipulations as OPTYPE_REGISTER,
although this will flood the redo stack a bit...
Nevertheless; for a "redo last action" panel we
can simply check if both flags are set for redo.
- Bugfix in editmode undo: selectmode was cleared,
so you couldn't select after undo
- Bugfix in mixing tweaks and keymaps... solution
works but is weak, need to think over a while.
Edit Mesh:
- Added back "Edge Shortest Path select"
It now also does regular selection, more fun!
It's mapped to CTRL+click now, and makes or clears selections
between current and previously activated edge.
Seam/Sharp/etc marking is a toolsetting mode still. These
options cannot become properties easily, because the tool
uses the properties of selected edge to clear...
- Removed a whole bunch of G.f flags, related to mesh drawing.
It's all now local in me->drawflags. Here's the list of
removed old globals:
G_DRAWEDGES
G_DRAWFACES
G_DRAWNORMALS
G_DRAW_VNORMALS
G_ALLEDGES
G_HIDDENEDGES
G_DRAWCREASES
G_DRAWSEAMS
G_DRAWSHARP
G_DRAWBWEIGHTS
G_DRAW_EDGELEN
G_DRAW_FACEAREA
G_DRAW_EDGEANG
- Edit mesh: Add ctrl+click add vertex or extrude.
I've made it not move the 3d cursor in that case.
Also found out tweak events conflicted with existing
keymap definitions; on tweak failure (= no mousemove)
it now passes on the mouse event as 'mouse down' for
the remaining keymaps to check.
These then actually respond to mouse-up instead of down...
The location in the keymaps where tweaks get generated
remains important. Examples:
1 - 'select' mouse-handler, operator return pass-through
2 - tweak handler checks, and makes tweak event
3 - grabber responds to tweak event
1 - ctrl+mouse tweak handler checks, makes tweak event,
or passes event on
2 - if tweak event, it runs lasso
3 - else when passed on, ctrl+click extrude happens
In the first case, select works on mouse-down, immediate.
In the second case, extrude happens on mouse-release, even
though the keymap defined mouse-press.
This will make designing nice balanced keymaps still not
simple; especially because you can't tell operators to
pass on the key... although we can add the convention that
select-mouse operators always pass on to enable tweaks.
Still a good reason to wait with custom keymaps
when this is fully settled!
* Cleaned up UI_interface.h a bit, and added some comments to
organize things a bit and indicate what should be used when.
* uiMenu* functions can now be used to create menus for headers
too, this is done with a uiDefMenuBut, which takes a pointer
to a uiMenuCreateFunc, that will then call uiMenu* functions.
* Renamed uiMenuBegin/End to uiPupMenuBegin/End, as these are
specific to making popup menus. Will convert the other
conformation popup menu functions to use this too so we can
remove some code.
* Extended uiMenu functions, now there is is also:
BooleanO, FloatO, BooleanR, EnumR, LevelEnumR, Separator.
* Converted image window headers to use uiMenu functions, simplifies
menu code further here. Did not remove the uiDefMenu functions as
they are used in sequencer/view3d in some places now (will fix).
* Also tried to simplify and fix bounds computation a bit better
for popup menus. It tried to find out in advance what the size
of the menu was but this is difficult with keymap strings in
there, now uiPopupBoundsBlock can figure this out afterwards and
ensure the popup is within the window bounds. Will convert some
other functions to use this too.
Some drawing tweaks for animsys:
- added notifier ND_KEYS type, to send proper notes around.
now insert-key redraws fcurve/action view
- made slider-draggers disappear when view is total or bigger.
Also experimented with making sliders go away entirely, but
this conflicts too much with current code for channel lists.
Ali: I think you have to make call that calculates the 'tot'
for channels, and run this in region listener, including the
totRect update for view2d.
The 'minsize' for channels also fails when there's a slider,
it always doesn't fit then :)
Filewindow: restored some usability issues :)
(Andrea: Hope you're OK, I needed to test stuff, and
file open was a pain!)
- F1: shows last saved/opened file now
- Enter key loads, ESC cancels
- Hilites on mousemove now show same theme colors as before
- Enabled intended roundbox draw (was added to UI api)
- Tweaked roundbox hilites to nicely surround text
- Text was drawing too close to collumn dividers
- Brought back missing glDisable(GL_BLEND), messed with draw
- On file-open, mouse position is used to show active file
It opens the files selector if "filename" property has not been set, else it executes the operator directly. Brecht, you might want to check, currently only sequencer add operators use it.
* Added back Effects menu back, replaced SEQUENCER_OT_add_color_strip with SEQUENCER_OT_add_effect_strip.
* Made sequencer header use operator UI functions.
* gcc complains when char's are used as array indicies when they are not explicitly signed/unsigned, corrected previous change for vpaint to silence this error.
* make MSVC happy. M_PI is defined for MSVC, but these constants are available only after
doing #define _USE_MATH_DEFINES before including math.h.
Good to remember for in the future (no need to define our own M_PI's).
* Added a rotation setting to brush (and brush RNA)
* Brought back strength and rotation modes for radial control
* Brought back brush texture for radial control
* Turned off display of sculpt brush during radial control operator
Notes:
* So far, only size mode ported and tested, still strength and rotation to do
* Brought this back for sculptmode first, still to do are particle edit, vpaint, wpaint, texpaint, and I guess image paint?
* Changed the wm paint cursor slightly, to take a customdata pointer.
* Still need to bring back brush texture display in the cursor
- Brought back code for particle edit and fluidsim
- Sanitized code from globals and bad level calls,
so its ready to come back working.
- Fixed cirle selecting (Ckey now)
- Enabled undo for editmode curve, armature, particle
and lattice
(another commit following)
* Triple Buffer is now more complete:
- Proper handling of window resize, duplicate, etc.
- It now uses 3x3 textures (or less) if the power of two sizes
do not match well. That still has a worst case wast of 23.4%,
but better than 300%.
- It can also use the ARB/NV/EXT_texture_rectangle extension
now, which may be supported on hardware that does not support
ARB_texture_non_power_of_two.
- Gesture, menu and brushe redraws now require no redraws at all
from the area regions. So even on a high poly scene just moving
the paint cursor or opening a menu should be fast.
* Testing can be done by setting the "Window Draw Method" in the
User Preferences in the outliner. "Overlap" is still default,
since "Triple Buffer" has not been tested on computers other than
mine, would like to avoid crashing Blender on startup in case
there is a common bug, but it's ready for testing now.
- For reference "Full" draws the full window each time.
- "Triple Buffer" should work for both swap copy and swap exchange
systems, the latter still need the -E command line option for
"Overlap".
- Resizing and going fullscreen still gives flicker here but no
more than "Full" drawing.
* Partial Redraw was added. ED_region_tag_redraw_partial takes a
rect in window coordinates to define a subarea of the region.
On region draw it will then set glScissor to a smaller area, and
ar->drawrct will always be set to either the partial or full
window rect. The latter can then be used for clipping in the 3D
view or clipping interface drawing. Neither is implemented yet.
Added WM Jobs manager
- WM can manage threaded jobs for you; just provide a couple
of components to get it work:
- customdata, free callback for it
- timer step, notifier code
- start callback, update callback
- Once started, each job runs an own timer, and will for
every time step check necessary updates, or close the
job when ready.
- No drawing happens in jobs, that's for notifiers!
- Every job stores an owner pointer, and based on this owner
it will prevent multiple jobs to enter the stack.
Instead it will re-use a running job, signal it to stop
and allow caller to re-initialize it even.
- Check new wm_jobs.c for more explanation. Jobs API is still
under construction.
Fun: BLI_addtail(&wm->jobs, steve); :)
Put Node shader previews back using wmJobs
- Preview calculating is now fully threaded (1 thread still)
- Thanks to new event system + notifiers, you can see
previews update even while dragging sliders!
- Currently it only starts when you change a node setting.
Warning: the thread render shares Node data, so don't delete
nodes while it renders! This topic is on the todo to make safe.
Also:
- bug in region initialize (do_versions) showed channel list in
node editor wrong.
- flagged the channel list 'hidden' now, it was really in the
way! This is for later to work on anyway.
- recoded Render API callbacks so it gets handlers passed on,
no globals to use anymore, remember?
- previewrender code gets now so much nicer! Will remove a lot
of stuff from code soon.
cleaned up selection code
new operators:
- highlight file under cursor
- select all/nothing (AKEY)
- border select (BKEY)
changed selection to be invoked by LEFTMOUSE
* View2D to region now returns ints instead of shorts.
* Use "Numpad" instead of "Pad" in automatic keymap menu info.
* Menus can now use buttons other than BUTM and SEPR, in
particular TOG and ROW are now supported instead of flipping
bits manually.
* Added a simpler uiDefMenu* api for making menus now, and it
only supports Operator and RNA buttons at the moment, will be
used in next commit. Not sure how this will evolve .. makes
menu code look cleaner anyways.
* Ensure that interface code doesn't crash when getting unknown
Operators and RNA properties, and display their buttons grayed
out in that case.
Vertex Paint back!
Added WM level "paint cursor" system, which manages a custom painting
cursor for tools or modes.
- Activate it with WM_paint_cursor_activate(). That function wants two
callbacks, a poll(C) to check whether there's a cursor in given context
and ARegion, and a draw(C, x, y) which gets called when appropriate.
- While paintcursor is active, the WM handles necessary redrawing events
for all regions, also to nicely clear the cursor on region exit.
- WM_paint_cursor_activate returns a handle, which you have to use to
end the paint cursor. This handle also means you can register as many
custom cursors as you want.
At the moment, vertex paint mode registers only a mousemove handler,
all other events are still normally handled. This is stuff for the
future todo.
fixes for crashes that seem to have been introduced by changes in context handling.
TODO: initialization for windowtype pupmenu if a previous SpaceFile was there.
Made ED_screen api calls:
- ED_screen_full_newspace()
- ED_screen_full_prevspace()
Which now gets called by F1 operator, to move to
full-screen-sized browser. For testing fun its default
now. Might become user setting. Also have to check
on opening a temp window for this (and for render).
File window: load now happens with proper free of operator.
still a bit of mystery how main handler loop survives after
a file load... will investigate once. :)
- basic drawing of list and thumbnail view (switchable through 'favourits' icon in header)
- selection of files and directories (bookmarks) works with the RMB (right mouse button)
- load operator for files still unstable (no check for correct file type) and incomplete. (WM_operator_free missing)
immediate TODOS:
- fix load file operator
- finish drawing of buttons in header
- drawing of detailed list with all file info.
- finish selection and execute operators (LMB and MMB execute)
later todos:
- parent dir
- keymap for all the shortcuts
- append/link and databrowse
- ...
- Lasso select back (CTRL+LMB), object centers only,
and for editmesh. See template in wm_operators.c
- Circle select for editmode back. Currently it still
uses Ckey, and is only a temporary mode, not persistant.
Persistant circle select can be added later with
tweak gesture keymap? We'll see. :) The old circle
select was actually annoying that it was so sticky.
* Object has some more properties wrapped, mostly game related.
* Scene frame changes now send a notifier.
* Added functions to create/free operator properties for calling
operators. This also simplifies some duplicated code that did
this. Ideally though this kind of thing should use the properties
pointer provided by buttons and keymap items. Example code:
PointerRNA ptr;
WM_operator_properties_create(&ptr, "SOME_OT_name");
RNA_int_set(&ptr, "value", 42);
WM_operator_name_call(C, "SOME_OT_name", WM_OP_EXEC_DEFAULT, &ptr);
WM_operator_properties_free(&ptr);
* Added a report list to operator, to which they can report errors and
warnings. When the operator ends, it will display them with a popup. For
python these should become exceptions when calling operators.
* Added a function to make a popup menu from a report list.
* Also added a utility function to prepend a string before the reports to
indicate what they relates to. Also made the report functions used
BLI_dynstr to simplify the code.
* Made file reading and writing report errors to the user again using this
system, also replacing the left over uncommented bad level error() calls.
Notifier system upgrade, based on Brecht's doc.
Implementation notes:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/DataNotifiers#Implementation
In short: let's try to strictly communicate in a notifier what happened.
The listeners then can act themselves. It also means that a frame-changed
notifier doesn't send out redraws, the editors themselves can decide.
This means you can define an operator in python that is called from C or Python - like any other operator.
Python functions for invoke and exec can be registered with an operator name.
keywords are read from the python exec() function, then used to create operator properties. The default python values are used to set the property type and defaults.
def exec(size=2.0, text="blah"): ...
is equivalent to...
prop = RNA_def_property(ot->srna, "size", PROP_FLOAT, PROP_NONE);
RNA_def_property_float_default(prop, 2.0f);
prop = RNA_def_property(ot->srna, "size", PROP_STRING, PROP_NONE);
RNA_def_property_string_default(prop, "blah");
TODO -
* make use of events
* return OPERATOR_CANCELLED/OPERATOR_FINISHED.. etc
* add support for array args
* more testing
* WM_operator_pystring to print the python func+args for an operator
* call WM_operator_print(op) in wm_operator_invoke(), simple echo mode should be moved later.
Further simplifying making operators with menus;
now you can add an 'invoke' callback:
WM_menu_invoke
which will automatically generate a menu with choices and assign
it to the property 'type'.
What also helps typing is the new RNA_enum_is_equal() function.
Here's a paste of the now committed 'clear parent'. Note the
undo push will become a flag too.
http://pasteall.org/3660
(Brecht; fixed small bug in RNA_enum_is_equal!)
To evaluate: solving dependencies for multipe scenes... probably
will make a more generic flush call.
Fix: popup menus were not freeing operators.
Made a new Popup menu call for this case:
uiPupmenuOperator(C, maxrow, op, propname, menustr);
It will set enum "propname" to the menu item and call operator,
register it optionally and free it. Use it in "invoke" calls.
Next: automatic menu generating for enum properties!
- Added default Circle 'gesture' operator callbacks.
As test, added in view3d window as Ckey, paint over object centers.
- Fixed notifier for gesture, to only cause redraws in own region.
