Patch from Jean-Michel Soler (with slight modifs)
Small BPy feature to help script writers deal with armatures and vertex groups (calls the bone heat method to create and assign groups)
Data from Armature.c and logic.c still leaks.
Mostly todo with PyList_Append adding a refcount and the bpython api not decrefing.
Also added some features needed to fix a bug in mesh_clean.py (ob.pinShape and ob.activeShape)
added a constant dict "Blender.Object.IpoKeyTypes" to pass to ob.insertIpoKey(keytype), previously these constants were not documented well and added to Blender.Object directly
Differentiated properties and "game properties" in Object docs.
Also the new NLA/Pose key docs were added in the property class instead of Object, tsk tsk.
added restrictDraw/Select/Render to objects in python
updated group and scene docs for last commit
made 3ds import use new scn.objects rather then Object.New() - (removed import as instance for now)
fixes off import error from this report http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?t=84182
This update changes Object.properties to Object.game_properties
(as discussed) so .properties can be used for ID Properties.
This should be fine as, after all, .properties was undocumented anyway :)
==========
Bugfix #4951: This might be a serious change for python script writers.
-- ob.getMatrix('localspace') did not return the correct matrix when the object
had a parent; this has been corrected.
-- ob.setMatrix(m) did not work predictably (more correctly, in an easy-to-
predict manner) when an object had a parent. The method has been changed
so that if thee is a parent, it ASSUMES the matrix is "localspace",
relative to the parent. The documentation now states this.
-- ob.mat and ob.matrix are now read-only attributes, while ob.matrixLocal
(which calls Object_setMatrix() ) is now read-write.
Ton is not thrilled (is that a fair summary, Ton? ;-) with this method since
the ob->obmat is calculated from the loc/rot/size attributes of an object.
I'll let him speak on this, but I believe his desire is for this method to be
deprecated in the future and replaced with something else.
The epydocs are now updated to have idproperties;
all the modules that have bindings for ID properties
now has docs for them. E.g Materials have a .properties
members, Image, Texture, Scene, Object, NMEsh, and Mesh.
I realized that .properties was already taken in
Objects, so I renamed it to .idproperties. There was
also a nasty little problem with an example inside
Object.getType; the entire example was being pasted inside
the return field. I fixed it by just moving the return
definition to after the example, like it should be.
animation. Object.enableNLAOverride=True sets to use NLA;
Object.enableNLAOverride=False sets to use active Action;
status=Object.enableNLAOverride shows current status
Long-awaited refactor of Object module. Should not break backward
compatibility -- at least it didn't in my tests -- but I'm requesting users
to put it through heavier testing and report problems through the bug
tracker.
-fixing object.getMatrix("localspace") and object.matrixLocal to return
the local matrix (returns global space matrix if the object doesn't
have a parent).
