IMPORTANT: The setters functions' names were normalized due to constant confusion regarding capitalization. All the function names start with set... instead of Set.... This convention was changed all throughout Freestyle. To use Freestyle as an external renderer, the SWIG library MUST be regenerated.
So far, whenever a Python object is created from its corresponding C++ object, the input object reference is copied into a new object. Due to Freestyle's functions (especially regarding the way it is iterated), it is currently impossible to deal with a pointer-based Python object. It is not a real drawback, just an aspect to keep in mind.
From now on, when a set should be output (PySet_Type), it is given as a list (PyList_Type). The reason is that it doesn't really matter what we bring back to the Python interpreter. The set is guaranteed in memory on the C++ side.
For the CurvePoint class, the userdata variable is not yet ported (and will probably available as a list or a dictionary). The CurvePoint implementation works except for the initialization from other CurvePoints: somehow, the inner variables don't seem to be correctly handled. I do not know if it is a bug in Freestyle or if the CurvePoint object's state is correct for my test case. CurvePoint needs more testing.
To make our base classes subclasses, the Py_TPFLAGS_BASETYPE flag was added to the object type tp_flags slot.
Finally, I began to implement CurvePoint, descendant of Interface0D. This commit allowed me to verify that my SWIG replacement method works: interfaces are well taken into account by children. For a test, use the following code:
================================
import Blender
from Blender import Freestyle
from Blender.Freestyle import *
print Interface0D()
print CurvePoint()
================================
The __repr__ method is only implemented in Interface0D:
PyObject * Interface0D___repr__(BPy_Interface0D* self)
{
return PyString_FromFormat("type: %s - address: %p", self->if0D->getExactTypeName().c_str(), self->if0D );}
and the result is of the form:
type: Interface0D - address: 0x18e5ccc0
type: CurvePoint - address: 0x18e473f0
As you can see, the correct getExactTypeName of the class is called.
