* Headers and menus can now be created in python.
* Replaced the uiMenuItem functions to create menus with equivalent
uiItem functions using a layout, removing duplicated code.
* More uiItem functions are now exposed to python.
* The text editor header, panels and one of its menus are now created
in space_text.py.
* Buttons window data context icon new changes depending on active
object.
Issues
* Icons are not wrapped yet, hardcoded ints at the moment.
* The ID browse template is unfinished.
Fixes:
- HSV picker didn't work. Old option "No Hilite" for buttons made it not
being checked for input anymore. Needs to be on attention list!
- Node editor wasn't drawing buttons correctly. Two things to keep track
off:
- Use wmLoadIdentity(), not glLoadIdentity()
- I've added a wmPushMatrix() and wmPopMatrix() version for correct
wm-compatible push/pop. Only one level for now.
The Python API to define Panels and Operators is based on subclassing,
this makes that system more generic, and based on RNA. Hopefully that
will make it easy to make various parts of Blender more extensible.
* The system simply uses RNA properties and functions and marks them
with REGISTER to make them part of the type registration process.
Additionally, the struct must provide a register/unregister callback
to create/free the PanelType or similar.
* From the python side there were some small changes, mainly that
registration now goes trough bpy.types.register instead of
bpy.ui.addPanel.
* Only Panels have been wrapped this way now. Check rna_ui.c to see
how this code works. There's still some rough edges and possibilities
to make it cleaner, though it works without any manual python code.
* Started some docs here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/RNATypeRegistration
* Also changed some RNA_property and RNA_struct functions to not
require a PointerRNA anymore, where they were not required (which
is actually the cause of most changed files).
* For new buttons spaces, automatically set horizontal/vertical
align depending on size, instead of free.
* Cleaned up the UI panel API. There's now a new uiBeginPanel
function which takes a panel type, and a uiEndPanel which takes
the final size. uiNewPanel* functions will be phased out.
* Animate the re-alignment when a panel size changes, e.g. when
enabling dupliframes.
* Load ui scripts from the release/ folder first if it is
available. This makes it easier to edit ui scripts, since it
will directly use the original files which avoids having to
run the build system.
* Improve editing of panel types while blender is open. That
means fixing some issues with lacking updates, overlaps, strange
ordering. It even does an animation now when the panel resizes.
More cleanup!
- removed old UI font completely, including from uiBeginBlock
- emboss hints for uiBlock only have three types now;
Regular, Pulldown, or "Nothing" (only icon/text)
- removed old font path from Userdef
- removed all old button theme hinting
- removed old "auto block" to merge buttons in groups
(was only in use for radiosity buttons)
And went over all warnings. One hooray for make giving clean output :)
Well, we need uniform definitions for warnings, so people at least fix
them... here's the real bad bugs I found:
- in mesh code, a call to editmesh mixed *em and *me
- in armature, ED_util.h was not included, so no warnings for wrong call
to ED_undo_push()
- The extern Py api .h was not included in the bpy_interface.c, showing
a several calls using different args.
Further just added the missing includes, and removed unused vars.
Grand cleanup:
- removal of FTF and ftfont dir
- removal of text.c which wrapped it
- wrapped old text drawing code temporarily, need to decide how 'style'
will behave per editor when you draw strings outside interface code....
wouldn't be very useful to set fonts locally all over?
WIP commit for UI drawing.
- Hooked up Diego's new Font API
- Added Style definitions for fonts, currently it uses
a different font for panel titles to show it.
- Styles are in Userdef now too, still not finished
- Userdef "DPI" will offer global control over font size,
to match monitor size/resolution. It's meant to scale
widgets and headers too btw, later.
- Lots of code removed for old fonts, but that's unfinished.
On todo: too much to mention, will continue happily tomorrow!
to WM_operator_menu for example, but popping up the redo menu. This is
useful for operators like particles rekey, which makes no sense without
specifying the number of keys.
When inserting keyframes in the 3D-View (support will be extended to other editors in due course) using the IKEY hotkey, the menu which appears will now consist of 3 parts:
* 'Active Keying Set' - this option allows you to use the user-defined KeyingSet which is active for the current scene (i.e. the one seen in the TimeLine/Outliner headers)
* User defined Keying Sets - a list of all such available KeyingSets is included, and entries can be chosen from there
* Built-In Keying Sets - see later...
To achieve this, several changes needed to be made first:
* Added support for 'relative' in addition to 'absolute' Keying Sets. Relative Keying Sets are Keying Sets which operate on data from the current context (i.e. a 'location' KeyingSet will add location keyframes for selected objects/bones/nodes as opposed to location keyframes for some particular object). The is a tentative 'templates' requirement system here, which still needs to be fully fleshed out.
* Added support for builtin Keying Sets (i.e. 'Location', 'Rotation', 'Scaling', and 'LocRot' as a few initial demonstrations), which replaces the temporary Insert Keyframe operator for the 3D-View (IKEY). These are effectively relative Keying Set definitions which are included in Blender by default and stored in a list separate from user-defined ones. Volunteer help in defining a few more of these for other editors will be welcome soon.
* Removed/replaced much of the crappy temporary Keyframing operator code, though a few tweaks could still be done.
* Screen level regions created for menus are now a separate
CTX_wm_menu in the context, so they don't interfere with
existing regions.
* Fix context in popup menus to always come from the area
and region the popup was opened from.
* Removed some unused context stuff: tasks and reports.
The places that were using context reports were using it
wrong anyway.
* Fix F6 closing immediately after editing a button, by
making uiBlockSetFlag not clear existing flags anymore.
* Don't use ":" in boolean X/Y/Z buttons.
WIP commit for new system to draw widgets and use themes or styles.
Not really interesting stuff to see in code now, the current
structure will change quite a lot, this to make it hook up well
to the existing system.
What works quite well is a new full opengl vector method to draw
scalable and pixel-aligned anti-aliased buttons.

Polyline, selection and a couple of others work. (note that polyline is shift-click because click is taken by 3d cursor. Needs a way to overwrite lower maps).
Support for subclassing blenders operator, to be registered as a new operator.
Still need to...
* add constants like Operator.FINISHED
* wrap context (with rna?)
* poll() cant work right now because there is no way to access the operatorType that holds the python class.
* Only float, int and bool properties can be added so far.
working example operator.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/WinterCamp/TechnicalDesign#Operator_Example_Code
* Add Area Swap: hold alt and drag with LMB from either actionzone. Release LMB on area you want to swap with. I added a matching cute cursor for this (and to make it a politically delicate issue, it's white on black).
Note, there are still some error totblocks that I haven't been able to track down properly yet, so that's still a bit WIP.
Some UI tweaks and fixes
* fixed some overlapping buttons (Matt, feel free to change button arrangement if you like), the Bookmark (B) button should probably be removed eventually from the current place and the fsmenu button as well, now that we have the directories on the left panel.
* fixed initialisation of params->display
(aligorith: thanks for fixing, I did reset the #defines, since it was just missing the correct value in the initialisation)
* fixed bug when area became too small (crash)
* fixed bug (last file missing in long display)
* fixed selection when mouse outside tiles.
KM_TEXTINPUT event matching was not correctly working for standard number keys (and chars such as @ # $ % ^ & etc.), which were being ignored.
Ton - you might like to check this commit. It works fine here now, but it might not be the intended way.
There was very little structure in this code, using many globals
and duplicated code. Now it should be better structured. Most
things should work, the main parts that are not back yet are the
python plugins and markers. Notes:
* Blenfont is used for drawing the text, nicely anti-aliased.
* A monospace truetype font was added, since that is needed for
the text editor. It's Bitstream Vera Sans Mono. This is the
default gnome terminal font, but it doesn't fit entirely well
with the other font I think, can be changed easily of course.
* Clipboard copy/cut/paste now always uses the system clipboard,
the code for the own cut buffer was removed.
* The interface buttons should support copy/cut/paste again now
as well.
* WM_clipboard_text_get/WM_clipboard_text_set were added to the
windowmanager code.
* Find panel is now a kind of second header, instead of a panel.
This needs especially a way to start editing the text field
immediately on open still.
* Operators are independent of the actual space when possible,
was a bit of puzzling but got it solved nice with notifiers,
and some lazy init for syntax highlight in the drawing code.
* RNA was created for the text editor space and used for buttons.
* Operators:
* New, Open, Reload, Save, Save As, Make Internal
* Run Script, Refresh Pyconstraints
* Copy, Cut, Paste
* Convert Whitespace, Uncomment, Comment, Indent, Unindent
* Line Break, Insert
* Next Marker, Previous Marker, Clear All Markers, Mark All
* Select Line, Select All
* Jump, Move, Move Select, Delete, Toggle Overwrite
* Scroll, Scroll Bar, Set Cursor, Line Number
* Find and Replace, Find, Replace, Find Set Selected,
Replace Set Selected
* To 3D Object
* Resolve Conflict
Bugfix: commit of last week that moved object_handle_update() out
of the view3d code into event loop caused render to crash. This
update should not be called during render. In future it'll even
be thread-locked or better; solved by giving objects an 'owner'
for storage of updates.
This solves a lot of crashes on render.
Useful goodies: most buttons for Image window back.
Not every button works! But what you can do:
- press Nkey to show/hide options
- use curves, with realtime updating
- image properties panel, load, browsing layers,
setting types
- paint panel
- plus new paint color picker panel! (why it wasn't
there in 2.4x is probably obvious, but now it can!)
Hrm... radial control should be added here too, and a nice
paint size cursor?
* Image painting back. 2d paint, 3d paint and projection, undo,
pressure, repeating paint operations, etc should all work.
Drawing cursor needs a bit of work, only gets shown when enabling
texture paint mode now.
* Move sculpt, image paint, and vertex/weight paint into a single
sculpt_paint module. Doesn't make much difference now, but nice
to have it together for better integration and consistency in
the future.
- Mesh Rip back (Vkey). For those who keep wondering how
it works: just put mouse cursor somewhere close to the
selection, press V and mouse mouse away from it. Feels
like real rip!
- Made extrude sorta work, no menu/options yet though.
But it does transform!
- Added an short event->mval[2] with region coords,
easier coding for the guys :)
- Fill operator standard delivers 'beauty' now
Cleanup of saving code for Image window.
Little extra: added poll() check for buttons, greying out inactive
menu items or buttons. You can see it work in Image menu.
(Item 'save image' is grey when it wasn't saved, then you have to
use the 'save as' item).
Carefully designing poll checks is worth a trial once. :)
Do note that cpu time for polls should be totally minimal.
Several things in one commit; could not split this up easily,
one job invoked another, and so on. :)
- Added pulldowns for save/load .blend file in top bar.
- To enable "Save" without further popups (save over)
I've added a signaling function in window header to
indicate a succesful save.
- On any undo push it now signals 'file changed'. This
goes by notifiers nicely, but now registers only the
undopushes, which is quite unreliable. "Changed" state
shows in header as "Blender*" and for OSX with the
standard close button black dot.
- Made screencast show a button in top bar indicating such,
and allowing quit. No hotkey for quit yet... but ESC will
keep casting now.
- Fixed new BLF_init(), which should be in WM_init() and not
on any .B.blend read.
- Fixed CTRL+F3 "Save Screenshot", which was still using old
fileselect code.
I change the #if 0 with #if WITH_FREETYPE2, also fix a lot of typos, etc.
This is the basic but now it draw text!!, I am using the "User Preference"
space to test the library, nobody is working on that and the option are
in the outliner now so...
TODO-next: using the 4x4 mat, string size, bounding box, aspect and rotate.
Notes: I update the Makefile, missing some include and other things so
maybe scons, cmake and msvc also need update ?
Some small fixes:
- handler operator exec gave too quick a warning for invalid area
(set area context to NULL is OK :)
- 4-split 3D view with clip option didn't reset clip when 4-split
was disabled
- creating a new 3d view didn't initialize buttons region correct.
Proper integration of File-selecting in WM. The communication
flow was flawed. :) Main problem was that filewindow can change
the screen context entirely, and should not do this directly on
a call inside an operator. Another problem was that the operator
ownership was handed over to SpaceFile, which is asking for
problems if you want to execute the operator with proper context
later on.
Solution is simple; window handlers already are valid owners of
operators and can manage context, so instead of directly talking
to the 'file space', you give the operator to a new handler this
way:
WM_event_add_fileselect(C, op);
This handler then listens to events (OPEN, EXEC, CANCEL) sent
by the WM or by the filewindow itself. This way local context
operators (like "open new image in imagewindow") will survive
a full-window fileselector fine, and in future also secondary
windows browsing files.
Two bugfixes included in this commit too:
- Add sequence menus in Sequencer used wrong context.
- When handler executes operators, it sets stored context now
by first checking if this is still valid.
Anim playback now uses "Sync" option, skipping frames to match
real time (as set by the frames/sec button).
This is a quicky for tests with audio. Note that the real time
in seconds to update sound to in ED_update_for_newframe() would be:
(scene->r.cfra / FPS) + screen->animtimer->duration
Also this can have a slight inaccuracy, the time between the timer
handler and the ED_update_for_newframe() notifier is not known,
but in general nearly zero. A better implementation is possible, but
thats for later. :)
* User interface uses this as a tooltip when NULL or "" is given.
* Python doc generation includes this description
* Python defined ops take the description as an argument.
* NULL check to image_ops.c, was crashing on exit when there was an image open.
* Added notifier for edited images.
* Fix main region emboss drawing when showing render.
* Don't go fullscreen with fileselect for now to work
around context getting lost, so open/replace works.
* Save operators are more complete now, but still lack
confirmation and choosing image type.
* Pack operators work correctly now (but not unpack).
* Setting white/black point for curves.
* Time cursor for record composite.
Smaller jobs, all in one commit!
- Moved object_do_update out of view3d drawing, into
the event system (currently after notifiers).
Depsgraph calls for setting update flags will have to
keep track of each Screen's needs, so a UI showing only
a Sequencer doesn't do objects.
- Added button in "Properties region" in 3D window to set
or disable 4-split, including the 3 options it has.
(lock, box, clip)
- Restored legacy code for UI, to make things work like
bone rename, autocomplete.
- Node editor now shows Curves widgets again
- Bugfix: composite job increased Viewer user id count
- Bugfix: Node editor, not "Enable nodes" still called
a Job, which didn't do anything
- Various code cleaning, unused vars and prototypes.
- Added depsgraph tag for object-change in AnimData, so the
new animsys doesn't have to all objects anymore.
(Still WIP, depsgraph has to do this much better)
- Bugfix in notifiers; only 1 notifier was handled for
frame updates
Result: 2 windows, displaying 2 scenes, now can be edited
independently, and play independent. Not when they share
data, of course. :)
* Group channels are drawn with better indention now
* Colors for group channels in Graph Editor are now initialised properly
* When selecting individual keyframes in Graph Editor, it is now possible to see which curve it belonged to, as the 'active' and 'selected' flags are set on that curve only.
Added CTRL+W save Blender file.
It's the first user of the uiPupMenuSaveOver() function,
which I've recoded to accept an operator pointer.
This is required because the operator property 'filename'
has to be set to work. Other 'save over' users will
require running operators too I guess.
Scene browse button now works.
Note that animsys currently executes animation for the entire
database, so multiple scenes in multiple windows don't work yet.
Various fixes:
- crash on invoking filewindow when mouse outside (active) window
- removed obsolete error prints (set screen error, copy data error)
- displist fix for loading files with curve/nurbs, the select-outline
then didnt draw immediately.
- outliner allows scene activating
- Node editor: link cut back, now under ALT+LMB, to prevent
accidents. Note it now nicely intersects the real curved
noodles with a line you draw!
- To make above work, replaced ogl curve draw with own bezier
code.
- Added new WM standard operator callback for lines-gesture,
the Lasso gesture now draws a closed line.
- Both callbacks have optional property 'cursor' to make it
give modal info. For future also linestyle or color can be
defined.
- Changed 'pin' icon in Image header to something that looks
less scary... but there's no pin icon yet?
