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?
The GP_STROKE_RECALC_CACHE identifier was changed to GP_STROKE_RECALC_GEOMETRY because the previous name was confusing and could be confused with the recalculation of the Draw Manager cache.
There were at least three copies of those:
- OB_RECALC* family of flags, which are rudiment of an old
dependency graph system.
- PSYS_RECALC* which were used by old dependency graph system
as a separate set since the graph itself did not handle
particle systems.
- DEG_TAG_* which was used to tag IDs.
Now there is a single set, which defines what can be tagged
and queried for an update. It also has some aggregate flags
to make queries simpler.
Lets once and for all solve the madness of those flags, stick
to a single set, which will not overlap with anything or require
any extra conversion.
Technically, shouldn't be measurable user difference, but some
of the agregate flags for few dependency graph components did
change.
Fixes T58632: Particle don't update rotation settings
It was getting too impractical to call BKE_paint_brush_tool_info
which needed to lookup the scene pointers.
Now each store tool offset and brush mode in 'Paint.runtime'
Each mode had its own logic for initializing paint structs,
move to a single function.
Also remove "BKE_brush_get_gpencil_paint", entering grease pencil
mode is responsible for ensuring the data is created.
Now the grid is always controlled by the topbar selector and not in the canvas panel. To have two places to define orientation was confuse.
The orientation by default (no lock) is always to view plane.
Annotations are not designed to edit, copy or paste, so the operators must be disabled.
By design annotations can only be added or deleted, but not edited.
Still pending clean the pie menus, but this will be done during UI cleanup.
Before, the weight data array was created always, but now only is added when a weight value is assigned.
This change was suggested by algorithm, and both agreed it was good idea.
You cannot store ID (or any other data) pointers accross undo’s/redo’s, those
are reading .blend file and hence invalidating all pointers!
Not that happy with this fix, code is rather convoluted and not elegant
at all, but cannot think of a better solution, so will do for now.
Also found and fixed another 'str ghash used for int keys' case...
