It allows to schedule tasks of smaller size without having
threads overhead or extra worry about splitting tasks into
smaller pieces.
This simplifies code in color management which was manually
splitting task into smaller chunks to keep memory usage low.
Further optimization is possible by avoid malloc called from
threads, but that's how it used to work for ages already
and would be optimized as a separate patch.

Problem is that all image buffer reader nodes (RenderLayer, Image,
MovieClip) were clipping pixel coordinates to 0..N range (N being width
or height respectively). Bilinear interpolation works ok then on the
upper-right borders (x, N) and (N, y), since the last (N-1) pixel fades
out to N (background). But the lower-left (x, 0) and (0, y) borders are
not correctly interpolated because the nodes cut off the negative pixels
before the interpolation function can calculate their value.
To fix this, the interpolation functions are now entirely responsible
for handling "out of range" cases, i.e. setting (0,0,0,0) results for
invalid pixels, while also handling interpolation for borders.
Callers should not do pixel range checks themselves, which also makes
the code simpler. Should not have any real performance penalty,
the interpolation functions do this check anyway, so is probably even
slightly faster.
Before alpha channel was simply ignored causing bad looking
straight colors which is pretty much useless.
Now saving RGB would alpha-over image on top of black color,
which makes final image look really nice. It's also very
such the same what other graphics software does this.
In the future we could easily support configurable backdrop
color, which would be really the same as other SW does it.
Also, it'll probably worth adding the same mode to RGB
display of image editor.
without hurting quick texture painting
- ED_view3d_draw_offscreen will now output buffer with
transparent alpha, if sky needed it should be alpha-undered
later.
- ED_view3d_draw_offscreen_imbuf now accepts alpha mode as an
argument which could be either R_ADDSKY or R_PREMULALPHA
- OpenGL render and sequencer's opengl preview will now reflect
scene's Alpha Mode
- Quick Edit will use OpenGL with transparent alpha mode
tile cache code in imbuf, but it is not hooked up to the render engine.
Imbuf module: some small refactoring and removing a lot of unused or old code
(about 6.5k lines).
* Added a ImFileType struct with callbacks to make adding an file format type,
or making changes to the API easier.
* Move imbuf init/exit code into IMB_init()/IMB_exit() functions.
* Increased mipmap levels from 10 to 20, you run into this limit already with
a 2k image.
* Removed hamx, amiga, anim5 format support.
* Removed colormap saving, only simple colormap code now for reading tga.
* Removed gen_dynlibtiff.py, editing this is almost as much work as just
editing the code directly.
* Functions removed that were only used for sequencer plugin API:
IMB_anim_nextpic, IMB_clever_double, IMB_antialias, IMB_gamwarp,
IMB_scalefieldImBuf, IMB_scalefastfieldImBuf, IMB_onethird, IMB_halflace,
IMB_dit0, IMB_dit2, IMB_cspace
* Write metadata info into OpenEXR images. Can be viewed with the command
line utility 'exrheader'

not fixed but the problem is now less bad when projection painting, bilinear interpolation was rounding down.
- added gameOb.attrDict to get the internal gameObject dict.
- mesh.getVertex wasnt setting an exception.
void bicubic_interpolation(struct ImBuf *in, struct ImBuf *out, float u, float v, int xout, int yout);
void neareast_interpolation(struct ImBuf *in, struct ImBuf *out, float u, float v, int xout, int yout);
void bilinear_interpolation(struct ImBuf *in, struct ImBuf *out, float u, float v, int xout, int yout);
Added...
void bicubic_interpolation_color(struct ImBuf *in, unsigned char *col, float *col_float, float u, float v);
void neareast_interpolation_color(struct ImBuf *in, unsigned char *col, float *col_float, float u, float v);
void bilinear_interpolation_color(struct ImBuf *in, unsigned char *col, float *col_float, float u, float v);
This is needed so for projection painting but generally useful if you want to get the interpolated color of a pixel in an image without having a destination imbuf.
While editing these I noticed the functons are a bit dodgy, they assume the input ImBuf has matching float/chr buffer to the output.
Tested overall speedup is about 5x when scaling 4096x4096 -> 4000x4000 in the sequencer.
There were some artifacts in the resulting image but double checked and the old code gives the same problems.
Added back old code with #if 0's since its a bit more readable.
This fixes:
[#7989] Sequence editor preview and anim render output broken on Linux PPC
and also optimizes RGBA -> ABGR conversion function a little bit.
(Fixing also a crash, if there is no ibuf->rect available...)
Credits go to Gernot Ziegler, who originally coded EXR support, and to
Austin Benesh for bringing it further. Kent Mein provided a lot of code
for integrating float buffers in Blender imbuf and ImBuf API cleanup,
and provided Make and Scons and static linking.
At this moment; the EXR libraries are a *dependency*, so you cannot get
the Orange branch compiled without having OpenEXR installed. Get the
(precompiled or sources) stuff from www.openexr.com. Current default is
that the headers and lib resides in /user/local/
Several changes/additions/fixes were added:
- EXR code only supported 'half' format (16 bits per channel). I've added
float writing, but for reading it I need tomorrow. :)
- Quite some clumsy copying of data happened in EXR code.
- cleaned up the api calls already a bit, preparing for more advanced
support
- Zbuffers were saved 16 bits, now 32 bits
- automatic adding of .exr extensions went wrong
Imbuf:
- added proper imbuf->flags and imbuf->mall support for float buffers, it
was created for *each* imbuf. :)
- found bugs for float buffers in scaling and flipping. Code there will
need more checks still
- imbuf also needs to be verified to behave properly when no 32 bits
rect exists (for saving for example)
TODO:
- support internal float images for textures, backbuf, AO probes, and
display in Image window
Hope this commit won't screwup syncing with bf-blender... :/
