node materials.
Area and region listener callbacks now get the screen and area pointers passed, so
they can do more fine grained checks to see if redraw is really needed, for example
depending on the 3D view drawtype.
* RNA's editor types enum (space_type_items) has been re-ordered, added icons, and removed internal-only SPACE_EMPTY value, so that it matches the menu.
* Two fixes in code drawing enums as dropdown menu:
** All items were taken into account when computing the number of needed columns, now simple separators (void string items) are ignored.
** Simple separators items were drawn as labels, taking far too much space!
And now translators will be free from that ugly, insane menu-string! :P
Thanks to Brecht for the review.
Partial redraw doesn't work so well with these, now I've changed the action
zones to just draw as part of regions instead of as a special overdraw done
at the end, which fits better with partial redraw by avoiding any special
exceptions.
render of objects could slow things down when redrawing the view each time a new
sample is displayed.
Now it does a partial redraw of the viewport with only the render border area,
skipping OpenGL object drawing while the render is refining.
Tiny tweak.
Dragging option (cursor change) for region dividers in editors was having an
un-even sensitivity hotspot. This conflicted with header buttons for example,
where the hotspot and bottons overlapped.
Now the hotspot is around the region-edge evenly.
in user preferences in place.
New scroller code made user pref scroller jump back on activating add-ons,
because that causes a full blender system refresh.
- The main window has sliders, which was drawn behind the region
- If property region had slider too, it got even worse.
Basically the node editor is UI view, so drawing another UI on top isn't
functioning well in general.
Now scrollbars correctly hide and show, making space for the actual contents
in a region. It solves several old hacks, and puts view2d code a bit more
back in control as well.
Implementation notes:
- The view2d mask feature is working again
- The #define V2D_SCROLL_HORIZONTAL_HIDE means: "turn on hiding".
- Code for UI_view2d_region_reinit() is enforcing better standard view settings
But... two hack/patches needed to be added:
- Region panel drawing: if after generating the button panels it appears
a scroller hides or reveils, it calls all the generating code again.
(a simple scale doesn't work due to rounding differences in layout code)
- View2d code that maps 'tot' and 'cur' rects: if this code detects that
the mask changes, it calcs the map code again.
Also a bugfix (issue in 2.65)
- The left/bottom area split widget was drawing 1 pixel too large sometimes,
leaving bad trails on moving area dividers.
Recoded the (2.65.1 version) region scale, which happened on loading files with
different saved size windows. Also scaling window itself was affected.
Old method: scaled region widths based on area/editor scaling factors.
That was leading to too small or too large button regions easily.
New method: region width/height now are in DPI control. Much nicer!
- On changing dpi, buttons remain visually same widths.
- On changing window sizes, the button views and zooms stick to exactly same.
Caveat: people who were using Blender with 'extreme' dpi setting, might find
the layouts slightly differ. Not sure if this is worth version patching...
Todo: overlapping regions that overlap together draw badly. Fix underway.
ED_region_visible_rect(ar, rect)
Returns the visible rect inside a region, subtracting the overlapping UI regions.
Added with minimal overhead, only called once per region draw.
Also fixes the 'Auto Key' warning print in 3d window (was behind properties)
- on setting lower DPI, the regions that were scrolled down would start moving down
1 pixel on every draw. Caused by rounding error. (int + 0.1 vs int -0.1)
(Ancient bug)
- circles used in outliner - to denote selection/active - now draw bigger, and better
centered. (2.66 fix only)
With larger header sizes (via DPI setting), splitting an area horizontally (using
left-bottom corner widget, move up) stopped immediate after split, not allowing
to drag it to a position.
Culprit was code to check minimum header size, and area operator using the same
flags. Now ScrVert has two flags - one for internal use, one for the tools to set.
Overlapping regions, when you both want them on the same side they should not overlap
each other! (Try F5 on a region to flip position).
Code for subdivision is in need for some cleanup - a branching recursion is needed.
