This commit groups a set of new tools that were tested in grease pencil object branch before moving to master. We decide to do all the development in a separated branch because it could break master during days or weeks before the new tools were ready to deploy.
The commit includes:
- New Cutter tool to trim strokes and help cleaning up drawings.
- New set of constraints and guides to draw different types of shapes. All the credits for this development goes to Charlie Jolly (@charlie), thanks for your help!
- Segment selection mode to select strokes between intersections.
- New operator to change strokes cap mode.
- New option to display only keyframed frames. This option is very important when fill strokes with color.
- Multiple small fixes and tweaks.
Thanks to @pepeland and @mendio for their ideas, tests, reviews and support.
Note: Still pending the final icons for Cutter in Toolbar and Segment Selection in Topbar. @billreynish could help us here?
Too many things done wrong in original rBd12b3767f81d to list them all
here, hopefully nothing bad sneaked in again this time :|
Also cleaned up a little the 'sort by name', even though (since we only
have two options by default, sort by index and by name) we can abuse it
as a binary option for now, this is not a bitflag...
- Fixes missing check for unified brush in sculpt mode.
- Re-orders material first in gpencil paint mode
(matching color-first for other paint modes).
- Avoid minor differences (missing tablet pressure options from topbar).
- Don't repeat properties already displayed in the topbar
when opening the brush popover.
This commit adds support for new curve tool and adds more functionalities to the existing primitives, including new handles, editing, stroke thickness curve, noise, preview of the real stroke, etc.
Thanks to @charlie for his great contribution to this improvement.
This adds an elliptical arc primitive.
Press CKEY for toggling closed/open arc.
Press FKEY key for flipping arc.
Additional changes to gpencil primitives.
Increases default edges of circle to 64.
Keymap changes to allow primitives to be drawn with Shift or Alt key.
Allow Plus/Minus key to adjust number of edges.
Missing: Toolbar icon

Now it's possible define the blend mode between layers including the option to clamp the layer using underlying layers.
Also a new Simplify option has been added to disable blend layers.
Implements the first changes for T54115:
* Rename "User Preferences" window to "Settings" in the UI.
We'll likely put workspace settings in there, separate from the global
user settings. System settings should become separate from user
settings in future to allow settings for specific hardware.
* Add sidebar region for navigation (scrolls independently).
Addresses space problems, so we can add more categories as needed now.
* Increase size of Settings window to compensate new navigation bar.
* Group sections into User Preferences and System.
Icons for section groups by Andrzej Ambroz. Thanks!
* Bumps subversion for file compatibility.

I also added categories for future work, but commented them out.
We may also want to redesign contents of each section now.

* Area and Workspace duplicate.
* Toggle Area Fullscreen
* Operator Search
* Workspace reorder to front/back (arrows help to know which direction means front/back)
The grease pencil UI was showing twice in tool properties space.
Move to top-bar because this UI is meant as quick convenience access
which is expanded on in the tool properties editor.
- Draw on back buttons moves near mode
- zDepth offset moved from View Panel to Popover
- Target for Stroke mode moved to popover
- New First point snap mode
After a lot of discussion about this option (see 18f1175940) we have decided set always the order of GP layers in 2D mode (Top->Down) and remove the parameter from User Preferences screen.
Internally all works equal, but in the UI the list is inverted.
The filter buttons to reverse the list or sort alphabetically have been removed because these buttons are not logic in this context.
It's too easy to miss at the bottom of the screen, and if the status bar is
collapsed critical messages may not be seen at all. There might be a better
looking solution, but for now this solves the main usability problem.
