from luke frisken (lfrisken), with some edits.
some tooltip colors weren't visible with different backgrounds, now the base tooltip color is used and tinted for python/alert/shortcuts etc. the tint colors are still hard coded.
ended up having to add a new pointer into the uiBlock (which I'd rather have avoided), but setting the uiLayoutSetContextPointer(..) was complicated to properly use for submenus and popus.
to be used by cycles. For testing there's a panel in the node editor if you set
debug to 777, didn't enable it because I'm not sure it's very useful there.
===========================
Commiting camera tracking integration gsoc project into trunk.
This commit includes:
- Bundled version of libmv library (with some changes against official repo,
re-sync with libmv repo a bit later)
- New datatype ID called MovieClip which is optimized to work with movie
clips (both of movie files and image sequences) and doing camera/motion
tracking operations.
- New editor called Clip Editor which is currently used for motion/tracking
stuff only, but which can be easily extended to work with masks too.
This editor supports:
* Loading movie files/image sequences
* Build proxies with different size for loaded movie clip, also supports
building undistorted proxies to increase speed of playback in
undistorted mode.
* Manual lens distortion mode calibration using grid and grease pencil
* Supervised 2D tracking using two different algorithms KLT and SAD.
* Basic algorithm for feature detection
* Camera motion solving. scene orientation
- New constraints to "link" scene objects with solved motions from clip:
* Follow Track (make object follow 2D motion of track with given name
or parent object to reconstructed 3D position of track)
* Camera Solver to make camera moving in the same way as reconstructed camera
This commit NOT includes changes from tomato branch:
- New nodes (they'll be commited as separated patch)
- Automatic image offset guessing for image input node and image editor
(need to do more tests and gather more feedback)
- Code cleanup in libmv-capi. It's not so critical cleanup, just increasing
readability and understanadability of code. Better to make this chaneg when
Keir will finish his current patch.

Further development of small features would be done in trunk, bigger/experimental
features would first be implemented in tomato branch.
- use BLI_strncpy_utf8 for utf8 buttons when pasting.
- reuse code for ui_textedit_type_ascii / ui_textedit_type_utf8.
- use memmove rather then for() loops in string editing.
- merge jump/all arguments in interface_handlers.c into one enum arg.
- Make gettext stuff draw-time. so switching between languages
can happens without restart now.
- Added option to translate visible interface (menus, buttons, labels)
and tooltips. Now it's possible to have english UI and localized tooltips.
- Clean-up sources, do not use gettext stuff for things which can be
collected with RNA.
- Fix issues with windows 64bit and ru_RU locale on my desktop
(it was codepage issue).
- Added operator "Get Messages" which generates new text block with
with all strings collected from RNA.
- Changed script for updating blender.pot so now it appends
messages collected from rna to automatically gathered messages.
To update .pot you have to re-generate messages.txt using "Get Messages"
operator and then run update_pot script.
- Clean up old translation stuff which wasn't used and most probably
wouldn't be used.
- Return back "International Fonts" option, so if it's disabled, no
gettext lookups happens on draw.
- Merged read_homefile function back. No need in splitting it.
TODO:
- Custom fonts and font size.
Current font isn't nice at least for russian locale, it's
difficult to read it.
- Put references to messages.txt so gettext can merge translation when
name/description of some property changes.
It is now possible to create "scripted expression" drivers by simply
clicking on some property, and typing some short Python expression
prefixed with a '#'. This will result in a scripted expression driver,
with the typed-in text being created.
For example, you can click on X-Location of the default cube, and
type:
#sin(frame)
and a new driver will be created for the x-location of the cube. This
will use the current frame value, and modulate this with a sine wave.
Do note though, that the current frame is a special case here. In the
current implementation, a special "frame" driver variable, which
references the current scene frame is created automatically, so that
this simple and (assumed) common case will work straight out of the
box.
Future improvements:
- Explore possibilities of semi-automated extraction of variables from
such expressions, resulting in automated variable extraction. (Doing
away with variables completely is definitely 100% off the agenda
though)
- Look into some ways of defining some shorthands for referencing
local data (possibly related to variable extraction?)
- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it
* they were too slow for dynamic python enums, calling the callback
to list the items for each button, to get a tooltip
* enum tooltips sometimes were showing the same description twice
Automatically assign menu keys based on name, alternative to pressing number 0-9 on menus items.
keys are assigned by first giving each menu item the first character of any word, if that fails any key in the name is used.
- active key is shown underlined.
- only ascii keys are assigned currently.
- can run operators, open menu items.
- currently this only works in cases where number buttons were used (UI_BLOCK_NUMSELECT), but could be enabled for file menu, splash etc by removing this check.
[#25159] Vertex locations dont read correctly and are not labeled correctly in the properties bar.
- non rna buttons can now have units set.
- calls with invalid units system now raises an assert().
- include .mxf in filter.
Also use const char in many other parts of blenders code.
Currently this gives warnings for setting operator id, label and description since these are an exception and allocated beforehand.
- made interface, windowmanager, readfile build without unused warnings.
- re-arranged CMake's source/blender build order so less changed libs are build later, eg: IK, avi
