Using the standard "FCurve" animchannel type didn't work that well for
the control FCurves on NLA Strips, as the paths would not resolve correctly,
and the indentation was wrong. Also, there would likely be issues down the
track with applying NLA mapping. Hence, it's easier to just create a separate
type for this case, and adapt the rest of the code to also consider these (todo).
View2D had some inconsistencies making it error prone in some cases.
- Inconstant checking for NULL x/y args.
Disallow NULL args for x/y destination pointers, instead add:
- UI_view2d_region_to_view_x/y
- UI_view2d_view_to_region_x/y
- '_no_clip' suffix wasn't always used for non-clipping conversion,
switch it around and use a '_clip' suffix for all funcs that clip.
- UI_view2d_text_cache_add now clips before adding cache.
- '_clip' funcs return a bool to quickly check if its in the view.
- add conversion for rectangles, since this is a common task:
- UI_view2d_view_to_region_rcti
- UI_view2d_region_to_view_rctf
* Click-select operators don't have "register" flag anymore
* Graph Editor click select can be undone, just like everything else
* "Current frame" -> "Current Frame" for consistency with rest of menu
--debug
--debug-ffmpeg
--debug-python
--debug-events
--debug-wm
This makes debug output easier to read - event debug prints would flood output too much before.
For convenience:
--debug-all turns all debug flags on (works as --debug did before).
also removed some redundant whitespace in debug prints and prefix some prints with __func__ to give some context.
- spelling - turns out we had tessellation spelt wrong all over.
- use \directive for doxy (not @directive)
- remove BLI_sparsemap.h - was from bmesh merge IIRC but entire file commented and not used.
Added "Extend" flag to border select operators for editors:
- UV Editor
- Sequencer
- NLA
- Info Space
- Graph Editor
- File Browser
- Clip Editor
- Action Editor
- Channels and markers regions
Can be used for custom keymaps.

No need to deselect all channels when doing the select left/right operator,
since we don't replace the selection afterwards with anything useful. This would
be a problem when the "Only Show Selected" option is enabled (as it is by
default), as this results in the curves being worked on disappearing from view.
F-Curves though will still get deselected as a result of the code to deselect
keyframes. Will need to review whether this is still a good idea (original
intention was so that only curves with keyframes selected would remain
selected).

Confusing local diffs and causing merge conflicts,
Stating the obvious; redundant and useless...

Channels can now be used as "animation containers" to be filtered
further to obtain a set of subsidiary channels (i.e. F-Curves
associated with some summary channel).
The main use of this is that object and scene summary channels can now
be defined without defining the filtering logic in three different
places - once for channel filtering, once for drawing keyframes in
action editor, and once for editing these keyframes.
An indirect consequence of this, is that the "Only selected channels"
option in Timeline will now result in only the keyframes for a
selected bones getting shown (when enabled), instead of all keyframes
for the active object. This was requested by Lee during Durian, and is
something which has only become possible as a result of this commit.
* This (big) commit is aimed at cleaning up the filtering flags used
by the animation channel filtering code. The list of filtering flags
has been growing a bit "organically" since it's humble origins for use
in the Action Editor some 3 years (IIRC) ago now during a weekend
hackathon. Obviously, some things have ended up tacked on, while
others have been the product of other flag options. Nevertheless, it
was time for a bit of a spring clean!
* Most notably, one area where the system outgrown its original design
for the Action Editor was in terms of the "visibility" filtering flag
it was using. While in the Action Editor the concept of what channels
to include was strictly dictated by whether the channel hierarchy
showed it, in the Graph Editor this is not always the case. In other
words, there was a difference between the data the channels
represented being visible and the channels for that data being visible
in the hierarchy.
Long story short: this lead to bug report [#27076] (and many like it),
where if you selected an F-Curve, then collapsed the Group it was in,
then even after selecting another F-Curve in another Group, the
original F-Curve's properties would still be shown in the Properties
Region. The good news is that this commit fixes this issue right away!
* More good news will follow, as I start checking on the flag usage of
other tools, but I'm committing this first so that we have a stable
reference (of code similar to the old buggy stuff) on which we can
fall back to later to find bugs (should they pop up).
Anyways, back to the trenches!
* Removed list-expanders for Materials, Textures, and Particles. So
instead of:
Object
Materials
Material 1
... material 1 anim data ...
we now have
Object
Material 1
... material 1 anim data ...
This makes it faster+easier to get to these items. If you don't want
to see all of these, you can still use the data-block filters from the
header to hide these.
* Internal cleanup - removed "owner" and "ownertype" settings from
bAnimListElem. The purpose of these was muddled, and more of a hassle
to maintain than doing anything useful - it was only really used for
the stuff above.
* Removed need for "sa->spacedata.first" casts all over the show for
animation editor tools which needed access to editor data. This can
now be retrieved directly.
- Pose Propagate and Pose Sliding tools now work in the same way as
Pose Library previewing, with regards to selections. If some bones are
selected, then only those will be affected. But if no bones are
selected, then the whole rig gets affected.
- Added a "On Selected Markers" option, which only propagates poses to
frames where there's a selected marker. Animators can combine this
with a "select markers whose name contains..." operator to get an
effective way to manage hand-keyed walk cycles, etc.
