- added new mathutils.Color() type, use with rna so we can do for eg:
material.diffuse_color.r = 1.0
# also has hsv access
material.diffuse_color.s = 0.6
- made Mathutils and Geometry module names lowercase.
- vectors now respect min/max settings.
- keyframing and adding drivers raises an error in an index is set on a non array, keyframing raises an error if it fails.
reference docs...
- added docstrings for remaining python bpy_struct functions
- added fake class for docs, bpy_struct, which is the base class of everything in bpy.types
- improved inherictance references for struct classes, include bpy_struct members.
- Added an optional string arg to struct.keyframe_insert() and struct.keyframe_delete() for the name of the group to add the keyframes to (for newly created F-Curves), instead of doing this as post process.
- Added error prints to the RNA function for setting an F-Curve's group. The old way of setting the groups afterwards couldn't be used anymore, since there was no way to find the action the F-Curve belonged to. This is necessary if the F-Curve list is to be kept in a valid state, since adding to any random group that may not be in the same Action does not work well. There were other issues with the list being iterated over changing while it was still being iterated over too...
TODO:
Find a way to allow the iterator there to still work ok?
C functions and python used different argument order, this relied on mapping non-keyword arguments to 'REQUIRED' arguments but meant that you could not have an optional, non-keyword argument.
next commit will make order of arguments consistant (currently only changed order that rna wrapped).
(commit 27674 by Campbell from render25 branch)
This means we can write low level apis in pyton or C where blender data is passed to external C modules without having to have blender support this directly.
Example use case is to get an image pointer then use ctypes to get the image buffer and pass it to a C image processing function.
rename image.save() --> image.save_render() because it uses render settings for saving.
added image.save() which is like pressing save in the image view, saving to the images path and removing the dirty flag.
Examples.
euler = Euler(1, 2, 3)
euler.order = 'ZXY'
euler = matrix.to_euler('XZY')
Still missing rna support. this still wont give the right order, defaulting to XYZ.
eul = object.rotation_euler
split PropertyRNA off into 3 types, base type, collection and array, since array and collections needed internal checks inside almost every function its better to have the, as subclassed to the property type. This makes introspection more useful.
Also made printing of structs and properties prettier giveing type and length.
OSX 10.5 PPC kept crashing on exit. After blaming bad compiles, bad python libs
and all other reasons (almost was switching to linux!) brecht found the bad line
in python free code. There was code freeing stuff whilst it wasnt allowed to.
Mac PPC gets hug!
Dicts are converted to operator properties like this:
bpy.ops.armature.extrude_forked(TRANSFORM_OT_translate={"value":(2,0,1)})
Note that this doesn't work quite well if one operator is twice in the same macro, but that's a problem at the RNA level too. I'll have to deal with that eventually.
