Implements "Auto-offset" (called "insert offset" in code) feature for Node Editor, developed during and after LSOC :)
Idea and sponsoring by Sebastian König, blendFX, Mathias Eimann, Mikavaa, Knick Design
When you drop a node with at least one input and one output socket onto a an existing connection between two nodes, Auto-offset will, depending on the direction setting, automatically and animated move the left or right and all of its following nodes away to make room for the new node.
The direction for offsetting can be toggled while you are moving the node by pressing „T“.
The auto-offset is enabled by default but can be disabled in the header of the node-editor. The offset margin can be changed in the editing section of the User Preferences.
Thanks a lot to the sponsors, and especially to Sebastian who helped *a lot* with this. That's how users can help developing Blender!
We already had that for global keymaps (used e.g. to generate shortcuts for menu entries),
but this wasn’t possible for modal keymaps yet (e.g. help message in header during
transforms and other modal operation).
This commit only adds needing background code, it does not change anything from user PoV.
Modal operators will be updated to use it in comming weeks.
Thanks to Campbell for revisions & suggestions. :)
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D780
- place return args last position
- move crazyspace function out of DerivedMesh header
- use bool for args
- flow control on own lines to ease debugging
Excuse the trashing here, but seems users prefer this most (though both can be useful).
Note that the UI remains the same,
so this is an option for 'Incremental' snapping instead of a new snapping mode.
(it would behave like 'bone envelope resize' instead).
Issue comes from the fact this transform op shares some common points with both BoneResize
and BoneEnvelope operations. However, trying to re-use `TFM_BONE_ENVELOPE` itself in this case
is bad idea, since this mode gets stored in transform op and is directly re-used for redo,
by-passing the whole init phase that shall be done in `TFM_BONESIZE` mode... So now,
we add a real new mode, `TFM_BONE_ENVELOPE_DIST`, while keeping most of existing code
and all existing behavior.
This is slightly hackish - but was already anyway, and avoids creating a full new set of
function for pretty much the same thing. As a side note, also makes it possible to
resize envelope distance outside of envelope viewing mode (from py or by adding a custom
shortcut).
This commit integrates the work done so far on the new dependency graph system,
where goal was to replace legacy depsgraph with the new one, supporting loads of
neat features like:
- More granular dependency relation nature, which solves issues with fake cycles
in the dependencies.
- Move towards all-animatable, by better integration of drivers into the system.
- Lay down some basis for upcoming copy-on-write, overrides and so on.
The new system is living side-by-side with the previous one and disabled by
default, so nothing will become suddenly broken. The way to enable new depsgraph
is to pass `--new-depsgraph` command line argument.
It's a bit early to consider the system production-ready, there are some TODOs
and issues were discovered during the merge period, they'll be addressed ASAP.
But it's important to merge, because it's the only way to attract artists to
really start testing this system.
There are number of assorted documents related on the design of the new system:

* http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Nazg-gul/DependencyGraph
There are also some user-related information online:

Kudos to everyone who was involved into the project:
- Joshua "Aligorith" Leung -- design specification, initial code
- Lukas "lukas_t" Toenne -- integrating code into blender, with further fixes
- Sergey "Sergey" "Sharybin" -- some mocking around, trying to wrap up the
project and so
- Bassam "slikdigit" Kurdali -- stressing the new system, reporting all the
issues and recording/writing documentation.
- Everyone else who i forgot to mention here :)
