since enough bmesh operations can also take advantage of direct index lookups on verts/edges/faces.
developers note:
- EDBM_index_arrays_init/ensure/free -> BM_mesh_elem_table_ensure/init/free
- EDBM_vert/edge/face_at_index -> BM_vert/edge/face_at_index
- EDBM_uv_element_map_create/free -> BM_uv_element_map_create/free
- ED_uv_element_get -> BM_uv_element_get
don't give up too early finding unique geometry by keeping track of edges with matching vertex hashes and keep checking for unique topology as long as the total of these edges keeps increasing.
* CHARTAB: not needed anymore with improved copy/paste support and text input.
* IDPOIN: replaced by SEARCH_MENU.
* ICONROW/ICONTEXTROW: replaced by RNA enums.
* NUMABS: can use min/max limits instead.
* BUT_TOGDUAL, TOG3, TOGR, SLI: not used in 2.5 interface.
brushes, due to issues with color coded drawing or slow/buggy reading from such
a buffer on some systems.
In case multisample is enabled now, it uses an offscreen buffer for such drawing,
which is not multisampled and so should not cause issues. This does mean there is
some extra GPU memory usage when multisample is enabled, and we could optimize
triple buffer to work together here somehow to share buffers, but it's better than
having selection not working.
There was no selection flushing when faces or verts were selected, this allowed incorrect selection states like selected face with unselected vertices.
add flush commands to paintface_flush_flags() and paintvert_flush_flags()
this may introduce bugs which I didn't catch, but they are very easy to identify in a debug build which has asserts to ensure the arrays are valid before use.
in my own test drawing ~98,304 quads - this gave an overall ~16% drawing speedup.
reported as [#29376] BMESH_TODO: remove tessface CD_ORIGINDEX layer
for a single mesh there could be 3 origindex mappings stored, one on the polygons and 2 on the tessfaces.
(CD_POLYINDEX and CD_ORIGINDEX).
as Andrew suggests, now tessfaces (which are really a cache of polygons), using origindex to point to polygons on
the same derived mesh, and polygons only store the original index values.
1. Two new boolean options have been added to the operator: "deselect"
and "toggle".
2. The previous behavior of "extend" (toggling the selection) has
been moved to the "toggle" option.
3. "extend" now only extends the selection, it never deselects.
4. "deselect" is pretty self-explanatory: it deselects (i.e. opposite
of extend).
5. The built-in keymap has been changed to use "toggle" where
"extend" was used before for this operator, to maintain the
previous behavior in the default keymap.
In short, this works towards making "extend" and "deselect" fully
consistent across all selection tools (adding to and removing from
selection, respectively), but still preserves the old behavior
as well.
(Patch reviewed by Brecht.)
