* Added a generic 'histogram' ui control, currently available in new image editor
'scopes' region (shortcut P). Shows the histogram of the currently viewed image.
It's a baby step in unifying the functionality and code from the sequence editor,
so eventually we can migrate the sequence preview to the image editor too,
like compositor.
Still a couple of rough edges to tweak, regarding when it updates. Also would
be very nice to have this region as a partially transparent overlapping region...
Restored the old Eyedropper tool from the 2.4 colour picker. Now it's an operator,
working nicely using rna properties (fixes#19475 and some todo items)
This ended up being a bit more work than expected, it involved converting the
colour picker to use RNA properties directly, rather than temporary values. This has
several advantages, including being able to type in RGB values greater than 1,
however there are still some redraw issues with sliders.
Also removed the alternate color pickers after this time spent testing, the current one
should be sufficient, or alternatives to the wheel can possibly become preferences
in the current design.
Converting the picker to RNA also made it very trivial to make a cool new
ColorWheel template, which can be embedded in UI layouts. I've enabled it already
in texture/vertex paint brush properties and the sequence editor color correction:
http://mke3.net/blender/devel/2.5/colorwheels.jpg
This changes how textures are accessed from Brushes, with the intention of simplifying
the workflow, and reducing the amount of clicking. Rather than the previous texture slots
(which didn't work as a stack anyway), brushes now have a single texture linked. Rather
than taking time having to set up your slots in advance, you can now select and change
textures directly as you sculpt/paint on the fly. For complex brushes, node textures can
be used, or for fast access, it's easy to make a duplicate of your brush with the texture
you like and assign a hotkey.
Brush textures can now be chosen from a new Textures panel in the brush tool
properties - click on the thumbnail to open a texture selector. This is done using a new
variation on the ID template - the number of rows and columns to display in the popup
can be customised in the UI scripts.
Now, there are preset brushes made for each tool type (eg. for sculpt mode, Grab,
Draw, Inflate, etc), and the recommended method for changing sculpt tools is to
change between Brushes. The shortcut keys for changing between tools have
now been changed to change between named brushes - the G key in sculpt
mode now changes to any brush named 'Grab'.
The advantages of this are:
* Changing between brushes remembers the strength/size/texture etc settings for
each brush. This means that for example, you can draw with a strong textured
Clay brush, but then switch quickly to a weaker, untextured Smooth brush,
without having to re-do your settings each time.
* You can now add your own custom shortcut keys to your own custom brushes -
just add a keymap entry similar to the existing ones, that references your own
custom brush names.
To bring over these new default brushes to an existing B.blend setup, just
append them in from the new B.blend in svn.
Now the key maps are displayed in a hierarchical list which you can
browse through. As well as in the main list, modal key maps are also
available in context, for example, if you unfold out a Transform key
map item, you'll be able to fold out and access its modal key map underneath.
More work to do, including search, better operator browsing, etc.
Still need to revise the ordering/hierarchy and clean up naming to be
consistent too, it's a bit of an 'evolved' mess right now.
Thanks to theeth for some initial work here too.
Brecht, I added a Layout template function, template_dopesheet_filter -> uiTemplateDopeSheetFilter, this creates the group of buttons for filtering ID type (and some other options) for animation editors (Graph, NLA and Dopesheet). I hope this is all right, if not, we can move this maybe to a .py file as a function for reuse.
* Moved more of 3dview header to python
* Fixed the layout of the ui layers template to show the correct number of buttons
* Added support for layer icons (active layer, used layers)
- remove functions such as operator_int(), operator_enum(), operator_string
this mixed with keyword arguments in a way that made them hard to read.
Instead, have operator() always return properties rather then needing an argument.
- rename prop_pointer() --> prop_object(), pointer is more a C thing.
- missed item_enumR(), rename to prop_enum()
* Mouse wheel now scrolls the list.
* Up/down key and alt mouse wheel change the active item.
* Adding/removing items from the list now automatically scrolls so the
active item is in the view.
* Shift mouse wheel changes the size of the list widget to display more
items. Lazy replacement for a proper grip.
* Shape key list now displays the influence value next to the name,
* Also fix the range of the value slider to match the defined min/max
range.
Added a base-template for editing/creating RNA-Paths. This is now used for KeyingSets and Driver UI's, so that when the actual magic gets put in, it will work.
Added new template for choosing to use any type of ID-block. The first combo box allows you to choose the type of ID-block that gets used, and the second box allows you to choose the ID-block of the type specified by the first one.
This is currently used for setting the ID-block used for Keying Sets, but the main user for this was intended to be the Drivers UI. However, I still need to clear up a few button-event issues there before I can port this over.
Additional Bugfixes:
* Adding new Keying Set path was setting the active path wrong, meaning that you had to click on the list to get some response after adding
* Bone Groups list was being drawn too long by default (when empty)
Keymaps are now saveable and configurable from the user preferences, note
that editing one item in a keymap means the whole keymap is now defined by
the user and will not be updated by Blender, an option for syncing might be
added later. The outliner interface is still there, but I will probably
remove it.
There's actually 3 levels now:
* Default builtin key configuration.
* Key configuration loaded from .py file, for configs like Blender 2.4x
or other 3D applications.
* Keymaps edited by the user and saved in .B.blend. These can be saved
to .py files as well to make creating distributable configurations
easier.
Also, user preferences sections were reorganized a bit, now there is:
Interface, Editing, Input, Files and System.
Implementation notes:
* wmKeyConfig was added which represents a key configuration containing
keymaps.
* wmKeymapItem was renamed to wmKeyMapItem for consistency with wmKeyMap.
* Modal maps are not wrapped yet.
* User preferences DNA file reading did not support newdataadr() yet,
added this now for reading keymaps.
* Key configuration related settings are now RNA wrapped.
* is_property_set and is_property_hidden python methods were added.
* The image panels in the image editor and texture buttons
should be more complete now, with working new/open,
refreshes, and using the layout engine.
* Paint panels in image editor are now consistent with the
ones in the 3d view toolbar.
* Curves panel also uses layout engine, and doesn't look
squashed anymore.
* Fix problem with curve mapping / color ramps not updating
things like previews propertly. Now it uses the RNA update
of the pointer from the material/texture/.. so each of those
can define their own update, but still share the RNA struct.
* Code for these templates is now in interface_templates.c
* Fix exception for "axis" property, now it always shows normal
widget with the PROP_DIRECTION subtype.
* Remove context from uiBlockLayoutResolve, no longer needed.
* PROP_NEVER_NULL is now a flag instead of a subtype.
* It works for function parameters too now, so setting
this flag can help avoid NULL checks in the function.
* Renamed LocalLamp to PointLamp, making it consistent
with the UI name.
* Set icons for the different lamp struct types.
* Loading newly saved files (where linked-libs were used) crashed.
However, libraries still don't get loaded correctly yet for some reason...
* Pointer layout-items now draw without their UI text if their name is set to "" (i.e. text=""), making the ones with icons appear normal. This is kindof a hack, since it would be better to expose icon_only, but this way is less work.
Make local and make single user are back for ID template.
Internally these calls got unified, id_make_local and
id_copy are now used to do these operations for all types
that support it. Also reveals that for some ID types the
implementation is still missing.
Further, some small changes:
* unlink_text is now in blenkernel.
* copy_group was implemented.
* ID template now has an open operator again.
* fix preview to not change material reference count,
even if temporary it shows up with threaded preview.
* id_unlink unifies unlink for text, object and group.
Patch by Lorenzo Pierfederici (lento). Many thanks!
* Ported some more menus to python (Pose, Particle...)
* Some cleanup and reorganization in the python file to reduce code. :)
* Cleanup of old C buttons code.
when passing properties=True as argument.
Other changes:
* uiItemR, uiItemFullR, uiItemFullO now accept a flag argument rather
than multiple different "boolean" arguments, but still exposed as
booleans to python.
* Fix RNA to support setting PROP_RNAPTR for return values.
Patch [#19031] (2.5) python menus for the view3d header
by Lorenzo Pierfederici (lento). Thanks!
* Added CTX_data_mode_string() to find out in which mode we're in.
* Added some "select" menus as a test.
This patch makes it basically possible to wrap the 3D View menus to python.
* World and Lamp previews now working here too.
* Experiment with list template, showing only icons. Unfortunately
texture icon render crashes combined with preview render so it
shows all icons the same.
* Influence panels updated, with slider for each option. The values
are still linked though, will fix that later.
* Image texture controls a bit more complete, still WIP.
* Color ramp back.
* Added a new UI Template for the 3-colour picker used to visualise + select the custom colours for a bone group.
* Finished wrapping the colour properties for Bone Groups in RNA. Although changing the colour-set used will change the displayed/cached colours, changing the colours via the colour wells will not change the colour set to 'custom' (as per 2.4x) yet. This needs a nice solution...
* Fixed context-related bugs with the Assign/Remove operators for bone groups. These were using context-iterators for selected posechannels, but that was only defined/valid for the 3d view (but not for the buttons window), hence a failure in that case.
* List template visual changes. Items now look different,
and it expands to size 5 as more items are added.
* Added LISTROW and LISTBOX elements. The former is like
a typical ROW button, but looks diffrent. The latter
looks like a BOUNDBOX, and has no extra features yet.
* Fix some glColor3ubv warnings with casting, did not find
a nicer way.
* Code to start moving 3D view header and panels to python, at
the moment the View menu and one empty panel is in python. The
C header code is wrapped in one template, so parts of that can
be moved over while still keeping things working.
* Fix for mistake in RNA enum commit yesterday, and some warning
fixes.
All kinds of changes to get it ready for UI layouts. This means RNA
and operators should be working correct, but most buttons are still
not actually there yet.
* Added near empty soft body, fluid, field and collision panels,
tweaks to cloth panels.
* Fluid bake works, but without escape or showing any progress.
* Fluid/Softbody/Cloth/Collision can now be both added as modifiers
or in the physics panels.
* Missing: fields & soft body for particles.
* Missing: proper updating softbodies, guess this code still needs
updates after pointcache refactor?
RNA
* Added the relevant active_*_index properties, with proper
get/set/range, updates and notifiers.
* Context.tool_settings.
* ToolSettings.vertex_group_weight.
Operators
* MESH_OT_uv_texture_add/remove
* MESH_OT_vertex_color_add/remove
* MESH_OT_sticky_add/remove
* OBJECT_OT_vertex_group_add/remove/assign/remove_from/
select/deselect/copy/copy_to_linked
* OBJECT_OT_shape_key_add/remove
UI
* Some updates and cleanups in list template code.
Known issue: when going in & out of editmode, uv textures and vertex
colors dissappear. I thought me->edit_mesh would be NULL when not in
edit mode but it is not?
Image Window
* Unpack operator now works.
* Some small layout code tweaks.
Info Window Header
* Moved to python UI code.
* template_running_jobs, template_operator_search added.
* Ported external data operators: pack/unpack all, make
paths relative/absolute, find/report missing files.
Also
* Report RPT_INFO too, not only warnings and errors.
* Run UI handle functions after RNA and Operators.
* Rename particle system add/remove operators, to not
include "slot", that's only there for materials because
that's what they are called now in RNA.
* Search popup + autocomplete for bones, vertex groups, etc. This
is done with layout.item_pointerR, specifying an RNA collection to
take the items from. Used by constraints and modifiers.
* Some tests with the List template, ignore those for now..
* Added SCROLL button type, use like a NUMSLI basically, with
a1 used to define the scroller size.
* Add scroll and toggle colors to the Theme (toggle was set to
draw like radio in a recent commit, but it's the intention
these look different).
* Added rudimentary list template, used for object material
slots, this is WIP though.
* In popup menu, split text with line breaks over multiple
lines, makes python errors display slightly nicer.
* Menu and header more complete now.
* Clean up Game Properties panel and moved View Properties panel
to python.
* Fix some drawing issues when combining tiles, repeat and aspect,
some also from 2.4x, these options didn't work together 100%.
Merging changes made by Arystanbek in the soc-2009-kazanbas branch,
plus some things modified and added by me.
* The API files now all in the makesrna module, convention is to
call them e.g. rna_mesh_api.c for rna_mesh.c. Note for visual
studio build maintainers, the rna_*_api.c files are compiled as
part of "makesrna", but do not have rna_*_gen.c generated as part
of the library. SCons/cmake/make were updated.
* Added function flags FUNC_USE_CONTEXT and FUNC_USE_REPORTS, to
allow RNA functions to get context and error reporting parameters
optionally. Renamed FUNC_TYPESTATIC to FUNC_NO_SELF.
* RNA collections now have a pointer to add/remove FunctionRNA's, this
isn't actually used anywhere yet, purpose is to make an alias
main.meshes.add() for main.add_mesh() in python.
* Fixes to make autogenerating property set/get for multidimensional
arrays work, though a 4x4 matrix will be exposed as a length 16
one dimensional RNA array.
* Functions and properties added:
* Main.add_mesh()
* Main.remove_mesh()
* Object.matrix
* Object.create_render_mesh()
* WindowManager.add_fileselect()
