- ability to change the space the axis is projected in (so you can choose worldspace or -space, was always local-space before).
- support projecting on a negative axis, without this some very simple clamping is not possible if the direction happened not to be positive.
- add distance limit (same as modifier), without this single meshes surrounding an object would make the constraint impossible to use in some cases (it would snap to the wrong side).
note: this removes the ability to project on multiple axes at once but this option only added up directions and didnt project on multiple axes as you might expect.
- don't attempt to convert the 'dist' value between local/target space, since all the projections are done in target space
and dist isnt used afterwards. Also, this could fail with non uniform scale - overwriting ray casts with larger dist values.
- added an assert to check larger dist values never overwrite smaller ones.
- remove use of sasqrt() since the value is checked beforehand anyway.
- spelling - turns out we had tessellation spelt wrong all over.
- use \directive for doxy (not @directive)
- remove BLI_sparsemap.h - was from bmesh merge IIRC but entire file commented and not used.
- use 'const float *' and array size in some function declarations.
- replace macros for BLI_math functions INPF, VECCOPY, VECADD etc.
- remove unused VertRen.clip struct member.
- remove static squared_dist() from 2 files, replace with BLI_math function len_squared_v3v3().
- use vertex arrays for drawing clipping background in the 3D viewport.
- use NULL rather then 0 where possible (makes code & function calls more readable IMHO).
- set static variables and functions (exposed some unused vars/funcs).
- use func(void) rather then func() for definitions.
- negative ray casts would invert the offset direction.
this meant if positive and negative were enabled at once and the mesh was slightly inside & outside the object it wrapped,
the offset would be applied in opposite directions.
This way the offset is always along the vertex normal.
- allow negative offset from RNA, could be useful and no benefit to disable.
