It's now possible to change the shortcut for invoking the eyedropper while hovering a button (E by default). Also removed the keymap editor entry for the modal eyedropper keymap, it's now automatically appended to the eyedropper shortcut.
We need to leave tweak mode before trying to modifiy the action as doing
so will leave Blender in a semi-corrupted state.

In some cases when:
* the viewport was in the camera mode
* the camera was ortho
* the view was not fitting (as oppose to use HOME)
region_2d_to_origin_3d would misbehave (and consequently region_2d_to_location_3d).
Sample addon to test it:
```
import bpy
from bpy_extras.view3d_utils import (
region_2d_to_location_3d,
)
from mathutils import (
Vector,
)
class MoveXYOperator(bpy.types.Operator):
"""Translate the view using mouse events"""
bl_idname = "view3d.move_xy"
bl_label = "Move XY"
@classmethod
def poll(cls, context):
return context.object
def modal(self, context, event):
if event.type == 'MOUSEMOVE':
self.move(context, event)
elif event.type in {'LEFTMOUSE', 'RIGHTMOUSE', 'ESC'}:
return {'FINISHED'}
return {'RUNNING_MODAL'}
def invoke(self, context, event):
if context.space_data.type == 'VIEW_3D':
self.ob = context.object
context.window_manager.modal_handler_add(self)
return {'RUNNING_MODAL'}
else:
self.report({'WARNING'}, "Active space must be a View3d")
return {'CANCELLED'}
def move(self, context, event):
xy = region_2d_to_location_3d(
context.region,
context.space_data.region_3d,
(event.mouse_region_x, event.mouse_region_y),
Vector(),
).xy
self.ob.location.xy = xy
def register():
bpy.utils.register_class(MoveXYOperator)
def unregister():
bpy.utils.unregister_class(MoveXYOperator)
if __name__ == "__main__":
register()
```
Needed to allow modal UI keymaps, but I'm sure we'll need this more often in future.
First item will be modal eyedropper keymap coming in a following commit.
Place non-editor related keymaps together, place animation editor keymaps together, move 'Header' keymap (which had exactly 1 entry) into 'Screen' keymap, move SCREEN_OT_header (for showing/hiding header) into 'Header' keymap.
Again, this shouldn't break any key configs, but key configs that contain SCREEN_OT_header will add an entry for this under 'Screen' again. Just a very minor glitch.
Expose our `BKE_image_load_exists` feature through an optional parameter to `Image.load()`.
Extend `image_utils.load_image()` with two optional parameters, to return existing image datablock
if possible, and in that case, to force reloading said image.
Needed by incomming 'import images as planes' addon enhancement.
- check for class/static methods assumed nonzero args.
- subclass references and set-flag items are now sorted.
- use 'order' for Py operator mix-ins,
so operator settings don't show in random order.
Transformed 'OrientationHelper' class into 'orientation_helper_factory' function,
which returns an OrientationHelper customized class with specified default axes.
Caused by own rBfb7ff31315a1c9 - not surprising code using Object.matrix_local
in other contexts than mere Object parenting fails, since it was using a broken
implementation before...
Note that whole NLA_OT_Bake op would need some love, it is quite brittle in many aspects.
Also 'fix' T43243, since we can easily add a common better behavior now
when both axis settings are incompatible, by systematically changing
the other axis.
Will update 'main' addons in next commit, contrib ones I'll let to the authors
(old behavior is still possible anyway).
creating empties.
The documentation says None is a valid argument for obdata (making
empties), but this would cause an exception. Now obdata is only used
when it is defined. An optional name argument can be passed to override
obdata.name as well.
This merge-commit brings in a number of new features and workflow/UI improvements for
working with Grease Pencil. While these were originally targetted at improving
the workflow for creating 3D storyboards in Blender using the Grease Pencil,
many of these changes should also prove useful in other workflows too.
The main highlights here are:
1) It is now possible to edit Grease Pencil strokes
- Use D Tab, or toggle the "Enable Editing" toggles in the Toolbar/Properties regions
to enter "Stroke Edit Mode". In this mode, many common editing tools will
operate on Grease Pencil stroke points instead.
- Tools implemented include Select, Select All/Border/Circle/Linked/More/Less,
Grab, Rotate, Scale, Bend, Shear, To Sphere, Mirror, Duplicate, Delete.
- Proportional Editing works when using the transform tools
2) Grease Pencil stroke settings can now be animated
NOTE: Currently drivers don't work, but if time allows, this may still be
added before the release.
3) Strokes can be drawn with "filled" interiors, using a separate set of
colour/opacity settings to the ones used for the lines themselves.
This makes use of OpenGL filled polys, which has the limitation of only
being able to fill convex shapes. Some artifacts may be visible on concave
shapes (e.g. pacman's mouth will be overdrawn)
4) "Volumetric Strokes" - An alternative drawing technique for stroke drawing
has been added which draws strokes as a series of screen-aligned discs.
While this was originally a partial experimental technique at getting better
quality 3D lines, the effects possible using this technique were interesting
enough to warrant making this a dedicated feature. Best results when partial
opacity and large stroke widths are used.
5) Improved Onion Skinning Support
- Different colours can be selected for the before/after ghosts. To do so,
enable the "colour wheel" toggle beside the Onion Skinning toggle, and set
the colours accordingly.
- Different numbers of ghosts can be shown before/after the current frame
6) Grease Pencil datablocks are now attached to the scene by default instead of
the active object.
- For a long time, the object-attachment has proved to be quite problematic
for users to keep track of. Now that this is done at scene level, it is
easier for most users to use.
- An exception for old files (and for any addons which may benefit from object
attachment instead), is that if the active object has a Grease Pencil datablock,
that will be used instead.
- It is not currently possible to choose object-attachment from the UI, but
it is simple to do this from the console instead, by doing:
context.active_object.grease_pencil = bpy.data.grease_pencil["blah"]
7) Various UI Cleanups
- The layers UI has been cleaned up to use a list instead of the nested-panels
design. Apart from saving space, this is also much nicer to look at now.
- The UI code is now all defined in Python. To support this, it has been necessary
to add some new context properties to make it easier to access these settings.
e.g. "gpencil_data" for the datablock
"active_gpencil_layer" and "active_gpencil_frame" for active data,
"editable_gpencil_strokes" for the strokes that can be edited
- The "stroke placement/alignment" settings (previously "Drawing Settings" at the
bottom of the Grease Pencil panel in the Properties Region) is now located in
the toolbar. These were more toolsettings than properties for how GPencil got drawn.
- "Use Sketching Sessions" has been renamed "Continuous Drawing", as per a
suggestion for an earlier discussion on developer.blender.org
- By default, the painting operator will wait for a mouse button to be pressed
before it starts creating the stroke. This is to make it easier to include
this operator in various toolbars/menus/etc. To get it immediately starting
(as when you hold down DKEy to draw), set "wait_for_input" to False.
- GPencil Layers can be rearranged in the "Grease Pencil" mode of the Action Editor
- Toolbar panels have been added to all the other editors which support these.
8) Pie menus for quick-access to tools
A set of experimental pie menus has been included for quick access to many
tools and settings. It is not necessary to use these to get things done,
but they have been designed to help make certain common tasks easier.
- Ctrl-D = The main pie menu. Reveals tools in a context sensitive and
spatially stable manner.
- D Q = "Quick Settings" pie. This allows quick access to the active
layer's settings. Notably, colours, thickness, and turning
onion skinning on/off.
- Ortho result from view3d_utils.region_2d_to_vector_3d was flipped.
- Persp result wasn't normalized.
- operator_modal_view3d_raycast.py failed for ortho views.
Thanks to Philipp Oeser for the initial fix.
- avoid passing redundant operator name to keymap property set function.
- avoid double attr lookups when setting each property.
- handle exceptions on value type mismatch.
- avoid resource warning on failed load.
Removed Armature Sketch keymap, as the entries that were there
appear to have been moved to the Armature keymap.
Removed the Script keymap. The Script space is deprecated
and I could find no way that the keymap could be activated.
Added a poll function to add object helper which checks
whether scene is linked or not.
All the primitives which are delivered from this helper
will work properly for linked scenes. If there're still
primitives which are not delivered from this class, well
nothing i can do now.
Now exported keymaps will still be usable accross versions, even if some operator properties disappear (write a warning in console in this case, instead of "crashing").
Also factorized a bit of code here!
