Transition away from GLU and legacy matrix stack. Using point sprites eliminated the need for most of the matrix math!
Depends on decent support of large aliased points. NVIDIA is good at this, must test limits on AMD & Intel systems.
Still needs proper scaling based on view zoom.
Part of T49042, touches on T49043 and T49450.
We were calling BLI_remlink and then BLI_insertlinkbefore/after quite often. BLI_listbase_link_move simplifies code a bit and makes it easier to follow. It also returns if link position has changed which can be used to avoid unnecessary updates.
Added it to a number of list reorder operators for now and made use of return value. Behavior shouldn't be changed.
Also some minor cleanup.
Was spawning error popup each time user tried to move a stroke higher or lower than the list allowed. We don't do that anywhere else and it's not really useful info for the user. So rather not bother her.
Replace the W shortcut for subdivision by a new menu for edit specials
in order to keep consistency in UI.
Subdivision is not used all the time, so it's better assign this
shortcut to menu.
In some situations the artist needs to subdivide a stroke created with
few points before, specially for sculpting.
The subdivision is done for any pair of continuous selected points in
the same stroke.
The operator can be activated in edit mode with W key and has a
parameter for number of cuts.
Now the factor works similar to other Blender areas to make the factor
more consistent for artists. The value 0% means equal to original
stroke, 100% equal to final stroke (50% means half way). Any value below
0% or greater than 100% create an overshoot of the stroke.
When drawing with Grease Pencil "continous drawing" for a long time
(i.e. basically, drawing a very large number of strokes), it could be
possible to cause lower-specced machines to run out of RAM and start
swapping. This was because there was no limit on the number of undo
states that the GP undo code was storing; since the undo states grow
exponentially on each stroke (i.e. each stroke results in another undo
state which contains all the existing strokes AND the newest stroke), this
could cause issues when taken to the extreme.
Two new modal operators to create a grease pencil interpolate drawing
for one frame or a complete sequence between two frames. For drawing
the temporary strokes in the viewport, two drawing handlers have been
added to manage 3D and 2D stuff.

The operator shortcuts are Ctrl+E and Ctrl+Shift+E. During the modal
operator, the interpolation can be adjusted using the mouse (moving
left/right) or the wheel mouse.
When undo in UV/Image editor and press ESC key, there was segment fault
in Toolsettings because the reference was missing. Now the toolsetting
is loaded from context and not from local operator data.
We usually don't silence migh-be-uninitialized warning (which is the only
thing which could explain setting matrix to all zeroes) so we can catch
such errors when using tools like Valgrind.
I don't get warning here and the initializer was wrong, so removing it.
If it-s _REALLY_ needed please do a proper initialization.
This was because the poll callback was checking for the presence of an active layer.
If you just create an empty datablock and try to paste, nothing would happen.
However, this check was kindof redundant anyway, as the operator would add a layer for
you if it didn't find one.
(Later this calculation should be moved into the iteration macro instead, since
it only needs to be applied once per layer along with the diff_mat calculation)
A common problem encountered by artists was that they would accidentally move
the 3D cursor while drawing, causing their strokes to end up in weird places in
3D space when viewing the drawing again from other perspectives.
This operator helps fix up this mess by taking the selected strokes, projecting them
to screenspace, and then back to 3D space again. As a result, it should be as if
you had directly drawn the whole thing again, but from the current viewpoint instead.
Unfortunately, if there was originally some depth information present (i.e. you already
started reshaping the sketch in 3D), then that will get lost during this process.
But so far, my tests indicate that this seems to work well enough.
General reshuffling of defines and spacing/brace usage for consistency.
In particular:
* When defining types, don't mix pointers and non-pointer types on same line
to avoid confusion
* As much as possible, have all defines at the top of each block instead of
scattered haphazardly throughout the code
* Stroke editing functions should be in gpencil_edit.c not gpencil_data.c
(the latter is only for handling "CRUD" operations on things like
layers, brushes, and palettes)
* Deduplicate the GP_STROKE_BUFFER_MAX define
Added a way to select all the currently visible strokes that use the same
color as the selected stroke. This can be accessed via the Select Grouped (Shift-G)
operator as an alternative to selecting by layer.
This function is only really secure in a very limited amount of cases,
and can especially bite you later if you change some buffer sizes...
So not worth bothering with it, just always use BLI_strncpy instead.
* "Flip direction" -> "Flip Direction"
* "Show drawing direction" -> "Show Directions"
* "Grease Pencil Curves" -> "Brush Curves"
(I was considering "Brush Response Curves" instead, but that seemed like too much
of a mouthful)
* "X" for removing a palette. The UI there was more similar to a standard datablock
selector, so it should use the "+X" combo instead of "+-" combo for consistency.
(Note though, presets tend to use "+-" instead - e.g. see the Render Settings)
Previously, it would insert "invisible" points after the endpoints of the strokes,
so that they wouldn't appear to be joined, but that behaviour could also get quite
confusing as you wouldn't be sure whether the strokes were really joined or not.
To keep the previous behaviour, simply enable the "Leave Gaps" option on the operator
after running it. This setting will get saved between runs of the operator.
To get this working the least effort, I've had to expose the helper functions
used by the lasso and circle select keyframe-test callbacks (which are generic)
and expose them for use by the GP keyframe editing code too. Hopefully in time
we clean this all up and just write the code once to operate on "keyframes"
This new operator will delete any GP frame it finds on the current frame, regardless
of whether it's on the active layer or not. It will only remove the frames if the
layer is editable, but otherwise, it will just go for it.
The existing operator is great for use in the panel (where it only applies to the active
frame), but it was not so good for all the other places where tools can be invoked
(e.g. D-X, or Delete) as you're typically thinking about the whole scene more holisticaly
than just caring about a particular layer.
The purpose of the patch is to replace deprecated glShadeModel.
To decrease glShadeModel calls I've set GL_SMOOTH by default

Often doing video tutorials or perhaps during dailies/shot review you want to
quickly get rid of a quick scribble you made for making a point, without having
to undo (i.e. maybe you edited some objects in between) and/or without having
to use the eraser (i.e. it'd take too long to cover the entire area).
On light coloured backgrounds (especially on white), it was impossible to see
where the cursor was. This commit adds a second ring (black) to the cursor so
that on light backgrounds, even if the light ring isn't visible the black one
will be.
When using Left Click select, it wasn't possible to sculpt using E+LMB.
I've changed the order of things in the keymap so that the select operator won't
end up catching and blocking all these events.
