* Proper handling of keyword arguments was implemented in Operators and ContextFunctions,
as well as in methods of Interface0D, Interface1D, Iterator, their subclasses, Noise and
IntegrationType.
* Operators' methods and functions in the ContextFunctions module were renamed from
CamelCase to lower cases + underscores. Style modules were updated accordingly.
* Additional code clean-up was also made.
Handling of keyword arguments in Python wrapper class constructors was revised.
This revision is mainly focused on Interface0D, Interface1D, Iterator, and
their subclasses, as well as a few additional view map component classes.
Implementation notes: Because of the extensive use of constructor overloading
in the underlying C++ classes, the corresponding Python wrappers try to parse
arguments through multiple calls of PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() if needed.
The downside of this implementation is that most argument errors result in the
same error message ("invalid argument(s)") without indicating what is wrong.
For now this issue is left for future work.
* Now the instantiation of ViewVertex is prohibited since the underlying
C++ class is an abstract class.
* Removed the .cast_to_interface0diterator() method from CurvePointIterator
and StrokeVertexIterator. Instead the constructor of Interface0DIterator now
accepts the instances of these two iterator classes to construct a nested
Interface0DIterator instance that can be passed to Function0D functor objects.
Specifically, an iterator 'it' is passed to a functor 'func' as follows:
func(Interface0DIterator(it))
instead of:
func(it.cast_to_interface0diterator())
* Boolean arguments of class constructors only accept values of boolean type.
Input values of other types are considered as error.
* Additional code clean-up was made.
Major API updates were made to address code review comments.
This revision mostly focuses on Python wrappers of C++ 0D and 1D elements (i.e.,
Interface0D and Interface1D, as well as their subclasses).
* Most getter/setter methods were reimplemented as attributes using PyGetSetDef.
Vector attributes are now implemented based on mathutils callbacks. Boolean
attributes now only accept boolean values.
* The __getitem__ method was removed and the Sequence protocol was used instead.
* The naming of methods and attributes was fixed to follow the naming conventions
of the Blender Python API (i.e., lower case + underscores for methods and attributes,
and CamelCase for classes). Some naming inconsistency within the Freestyle Python
API was also addressed.
* The Freestyle API had a number of method names including prefix/suffix "A" and
"B", and their meanings were inconsistent (i.e., referring to different things
depending on the classes). The names with these two letters were replaced with
more straightforward names. Also some attribute names were changed so as to indicate
the type of the value (e.g., FEdge.next_fedge instead of FEdge.next_edge) in line
with other names explicitly indicating what the value is (e.g., SVertex.viewvertex).
* In addition, some code clean-up was done in both C++ and Python.
Notes:
In summary, the following irregular naming changes were made through this revision
(those resulting from regular changes of naming conventions are not listed):
- CurvePoint: {A,B} --> {first,second}_svertex
- FEdge: vertex{A,B} --> {first,second}_svertex
- FEdge: {next,previous}Edge --> {next,previous}_fedge
- FEdgeSharp: normal{A,B} --> normal_{right,left}
- FEdgeSharp: {a,b}FaceMark --> face_mark_{right,left}
- FEdgeSharp: {a,b}Material --> material_{right,left}
- FEdgeSharp: {a,b}MaterialIndex --> material_index_{right,left}
- FrsCurve: empty --> is_empty
- FrsCurve: nSegments --> segments_size
- TVertex: mate() --> get_mate()
- ViewEdge: fedge{A,B} --> {first,last}_fedge
- ViewEdge: setaShape, aShape --> occlude
- ViewEdge: {A,B} --> {first,last}_viewvertex
- ViewMap: getScene3dBBox --> scene_bbox
* Local helpers were replaced with the generic one. This also fixed a memory leak in the setter
function StrokeVertex_point_set.
* Made minor code style changes.
* The API syntax of StrokeVertex and StrokeAttribute was updated by means of getter/setter
properties instead of class methods. Python style modules (including the Parameter Editor
implementation) were updated accordingly.
* Code clean-up was done for a few Python style modules, mostly by removing duplicated
definitions of stroke shaders and fixing indentation.
* Fixed a bug in MaterialF0D::operator() that an error condition was ignored due
to a wrong return value.
* Fixed a typo in the docstring of StrokeVertex::setPoint().
(http://freestyle.sourceforge.net/doc/html/index.html) has been
incorporated into the Blender/Freestyle Python API implementation
in the form of Sphinx-based embedded docstrings. Some C++-specific
descriptions of classes and functions were revised so that they are
suitable for Python programmers. Missing docstrings were filled,
and sparse descriptions were extended. By means of the new
documentation system for Blender, an up-to-date Freestyle Python
API reference will be part of the Blender 2.5 documentation.
Removed all castToSomething() methods from Interface0D's subclasses.
These methods are useless, because introspection-based automatic type
conversion takes place whenever it is applicable.
If you need to rewrite old style modules that rely on the cast methods,
apply the following rewriting rules:
- SVertex.castToSVertex()
- TVertex.castToViewVertex()
- TVertex.castToTVertex()
- NonTVertex.castToViewVertex()
- NonTVertex.castToNonTVertex()
These 5 methods return an object itself, so just removing a method
call will suffice. If you need to handle objects in a different way
depending on their types, then you can use Python's type checking
idioms such as "type(obj) is T" and "isinstance(obj, T)". Example:
[Original]
v = it.getObject()
# try to convert v into a TVertex object
vertex = v.castToTVertex()
if vertex != None:
... # do something on the TVertex object
# try to convert v into a NonTVertex object
vertex = v.castToNonTVertex()
if vertex != None:
... # do something on the NonTVertex object
[Rewritten]
vertex = it.getObject()
if type(vertex) is TVertex:
... # do something on the TVertex object
elif type(vertex) is NonTVertex:
... # do something on the NonTVertex object
- SVertex.castToViewVertex()
- SVertex.castToTVertex()
- SVertex.castToNonTVertex()
Use SVertex.viewvertex() instead. You don't need to care about
which cast method is appropriate. SVertex.viewvertex() does, if
necessary, introspection-based automatic type conversion for you.
- NonTVertex.castToSVertex()
Use NonTVertex.svertex() instead.
- CurvePoint.castToSVertex()
Let cp be a CurvePoint object, then this method can be expressed as
follows:
if cp.t2d() == 0.0:
return cp.A() # returns an SVertex
elif cp.t2d() == 1.0:
return cp.B() # returns an SVertex
return None
- CurvePoint.castToViewVertex()
- CurvePoint.castToTVertex()
- CurvePoint.castToNonVertex()
Similarly, these 3 methods can be expressed as follows:
if cp.t2d() == 0.0:
return cp.A().viewvertex()
elif cp.t2d() == 1.0:
return cp.B().viewvertex()
return None
* Added to python/BPy_Convert.{cpp,h} 4 utility converters below for
better introspection-based automatic type conversion.
PyObject * Any_BPy_Interface0D_from_Interface0D( Interface0D& if0D );
PyObject * Any_BPy_Interface1D_from_Interface1D( Interface1D& if1D );
PyObject * Any_BPy_FEdge_from_FEdge( FEdge& fe );
PyObject * Any_BPy_ViewVertex_from_ViewVertex( ViewVertex& vv );
There are 4 corresponding converters without the "Any_" prefix. All
calls of them in the code base were replaced with these new converters
so that the introspection-based automatic conversion would take place
universally.
* python/BPy_Convert.{cpp,h}: Those C++ to Python converters having
had a "_ptr" suffix were renamed to a name without the suffix, and
their arguments were changed so as to take a reference (e.g.,
ViewVertex&) instead of a pointer (e.g., ViewVertex *). The changed
converters and their new function prototypes are listed below. These
converters now return a Python wrapper object that retains the passed
reference, instead of retaining a newly created C++ object by the
converters.
// Interface0D converters
PyObject * BPy_Interface0D_from_Interface0D( Interface0D& if0D );
PyObject * BPy_CurvePoint_from_CurvePoint( CurvePoint& cp );
PyObject * BPy_StrokeVertex_from_StrokeVertex( StrokeVertex& sv );
PyObject * BPy_SVertex_from_SVertex( SVertex& sv );
PyObject * BPy_ViewVertex_from_ViewVertex( ViewVertex& vv );
PyObject * BPy_TVertex_from_TVertex( TVertex& tv );
PyObject * BPy_NonTVertex_from_NonTVertex( NonTVertex& ntv );
// Interface1D converters
PyObject * BPy_Interface1D_from_Interface1D( Interface1D& if1D );
PyObject * BPy_Chain_from_Chain( Chain& c );
PyObject * BPy_FEdge_from_FEdge( FEdge& fe );
PyObject * BPy_FEdgeSharp_from_FEdgeSharp( FEdgeSharp& fes );
PyObject * BPy_FEdgeSmooth_from_FEdgeSmooth( FEdgeSmooth& fes );
PyObject * BPy_Stroke_from_Stroke( Stroke& s );
PyObject * BPy_ViewEdge_from_ViewEdge( ViewEdge& ve );
PyObject * BPy_directedViewEdge_from_directedViewEdge( ViewVertex::directedViewEdge& dve );
// some other converters
PyObject * BPy_ViewShape_from_ViewShape( ViewShape& vs );
PyObject * BPy_SShape_from_SShape( SShape& ss );
PyObject * BPy_FrsMaterial_from_FrsMaterial( FrsMaterial& m );
PyObject * BPy_StrokeAttribute_from_StrokeAttribute( StrokeAttribute& sa );
* Added a "borrowed" flag to the definitions of Python types being
used to wrap C++ components of Freestyle's internal data structures.
The flag indicates whether or not a Python wrapper object has a
reference to a C++ object that comprises the internal data structures.
The deallocation routines of the Python types check this flag and
release a wrapped C++ object only when it is not part of the internal
data structures. The following files were modified:
python/BPy_FrsMaterial.{cpp,h}
python/BPy_Interface0D.{cpp,h}
python/BPy_Interface1D.{cpp,h}
python/BPy_SShape.{cpp,h}
python/BPy_StrokeAttribute.{cpp,h}
python/BPy_ViewShape.{cpp,h}
python/Interface0D/BPy_CurvePoint.cpp
python/Interface0D/BPy_SVertex.cpp
python/Interface0D/BPy_ViewVertex.cpp
python/Interface0D/CurvePoint/BPy_StrokeVertex.cpp
python/Interface0D/ViewVertex/BPy_NonTVertex.cpp
python/Interface0D/ViewVertex/BPy_TVertex.cpp
python/Interface1D/BPy_FEdge.cpp
python/Interface1D/BPy_FrsCurve.cpp
python/Interface1D/BPy_Stroke.cpp
python/Interface1D/BPy_ViewEdge.cpp
python/Interface1D/Curve/BPy_Chain.cpp
python/Interface1D/FEdge/BPy_FEdgeSharp.cpp
python/Interface1D/FEdge/BPy_FEdgeSmooth.cpp
* view_map/Interface[01]D.h, python/BPy_Interface[01]D.cpp: Removed
from the Interface0D and Interface1D C++ classes a back pointer to a
Python wrapper object and all "director" calls. These classes (and
their subclasses) are used to build Freestyle's main data structures
(such as a view map and strokes) and their class hierarchy is static.
Python wrappers of these C++ classes are only used to access the data
structures from the Python layer, and not intended to extend the data
structures by subclassing the Python wrappers. Without the necessity
of subclassing in the Python layer, the back pointer to a wrapping
Python object and "director" calls would be useless (actually they
were not used at all), so they were all removed.
* python/Director.{cpp,h}: Removed the definitions of directors that
were no longer used.
* stroke/Stroke.{cpp,h}: Removed an (unused) back pointer to a Python
wrapper object.
* python/BPy_ViewMap.cpp: Fixed a possible null pointer reference.
* python/Interface1D/BPy_FEdge.cpp: Fixed parameter checking in
FEdge___init__().
method returns a non-functional orientedViewEdgeIterator instance.
The iteration from the end to the beginning of the sequence relies
on orientedViewEdgeIterator::decrement() which is not actually
implemented in the C++ class. As a quick fix, the edgesEnd method
now raises a NotImplementedError.
orientedViewEdgeIterator.
* Simplified Python-related error handling in C++ class definitions.
The definitions of the following C++ methods were simplified and most
code segments using the C/Python API were moved to Director.cpp.
ChainingIterator::init()
ChainingIterator::traverse()
UnaryPredicate0D::operator()()
UnaryPredicate1D::operator()()
BinaryPredicate0D::operator()()
BinaryPredicate1D::operator()()
UnaryFunction0D::operator()()
UnaryFunction1D::operator()()
StrokeShader.shade()
* Moved part of the introspection-based automatic type conversion code
from BPy_Interface0DIterator.cpp and Director.cpp to BPy_Convert.cpp
for the sake of better code organization.
* Fixed an uninitialized member in StrokeVertexIterator___init__().
Now the following methods in the Freestyle Python API accept
not only Blender.Mathutils.Vector instances but also lists and
tuples having an appropriate number of elements.
FrsNoise::turbulence2()
FrsNoise::turbulence3()
FrsNoise::smoothNoise2()
FrsNoise::smoothNoise3()
SVertex::__init__()
SVertex::setPoint3D()
SVertex::setPoint2D()
SVertex::AddNormal()
FEdgeSharp::setNormalA()
FEdgeSharp::setNormalB()
FEdgeSmooth::setNormal()
CalligraphicShader::__init__()
StrokeAttribute::setAttributeVec2f()
StrokeAttribute::setAttributeVec3f()
StrokeAttribute::setColor()
StrokeVertex::setPoint()
* Added the following converters for the sake of the improvements
mentioned above.
Vec2f_ptr_from_PyObject()
Vec3f_ptr_from_PyObject()
Vec3r_ptr_from_PyObject()
Vec2f_ptr_from_PyList()
Vec3f_ptr_from_PyList()
Vec3r_ptr_from_PyList()
Vec2f_ptr_from_PyTuple()
Vec3f_ptr_from_PyTuple()
Vec3r_ptr_from_PyTuple()
Those converters with the suffixes _PyList and _PyTuple accept
only lists and tuples having an appropriate number of elements,
respectively, while those with the suffix _PyObject accept lists,
tuples, or Blender.Mathutils.Vector instances.
* Fixed a null pointer reference in Interface0D___dealloc__().
* Corrected the names of 3 methods in the FEdgeSmooth class.
to a specific Python object. The conversion takes place in the following
places.
- Interface0DIterator_getObject (BPy_Interface0DIterator.cpp)
- Director_BPy_BinaryPredicate1D___call__ (Director.cpp)
- Director_BPy_UnaryPredicate1D___call__ (Director.cpp)
- SVertex_viewvertex (BPy_SVertex.cpp)
- BPy_FEdge_from_FEdge (BPy_Convert.cpp)
This is a tentative list and more conversions are expected to be added.
* Added the following two converter functions to BPy_Convert.{cpp,h}:
- BPy_NonTVertex_from_NonTVertex_ptr
- BPy_TVertex_from_TVertex_ptr
Now this method accepts 2D coordinates in the following three forms:
a) Python list of 2 real numbers: setPoint([x, y])
b) Blender Vector of 2 elements: setPoint(Vector(x, y))
c) 2 real numbers: setPoint(x, y)
[The log of Revision 19283 had a wrong message...]
Quite a few modifications were made to finish the API:
- Freestyle's SConscript was modified to catch all files within the intern/python directory, allowing integration of future shaders implemented in C++.
- the Operators class was ported, with a special care of making its methods static (using the METH_STATIC flag in the tp_methods method definitions)
- all of the type-checking functions [ BPy_[class name]_Check(obj) ] were changed to allow subclasses to be seen as that type too: instead on looking at the ob_type value, the PyObject_IsInstance function is used.
- all of the iterators can now retrieve the object pointed to by the operator, using the getObject() method. A directedViewEdge pair is returned as a list of the two elements in the pair.
- all of the style modules were copied to a style_modules_blender/ folder and were modified to use Freestyle as a Blender's submodule. IntegrationType and MediumType was also integrated (for example, changing MEAN to IntegrationType.MEAN).
Testing now begins. If everything works correctly, I'll move on to lib3ds removal right away.
IMPORTANT: The setters functions' names were normalized due to constant confusion regarding capitalization. All the function names start with set... instead of Set.... This convention was changed all throughout Freestyle. To use Freestyle as an external renderer, the SWIG library MUST be regenerated.
