Notifiers
---------
Various fixes for wrong use of notifiers, and some new notifiers
to make things a bit more clear and consistent, with two notable
changes:
* Geometry changes are now done with NC_GEOM, rather than
NC_OBJECT|ND_GEOM_, so an object does need to be available.
* Space data now use NC_SPACE|ND_SPACE_*, instead of data
notifiers or even NC_WINDOW in some cases. Note that NC_SPACE
should only be used for notifying about changes in space data,
we don't want to go back to allqueue(REDRAW..).
Depsgraph
---------
The dependency graph now has a different flush call:
DAG_object_flush_update(scene, ob, flag)
is replaced by:
DAG_id_flush_update(id, flag)
It still works basically the same, one difference is that it now
also accepts object data (e.g. Mesh), again to avoid requiring an
Object to be available. Other ID types will simply do nothing at
the moment.
Docs
----
I made some guidelines for how/when to do which kinds of updates
and notifiers. I can't specify totally exact how to make these
decisions, but these are basically the guidelines I use. So, new
and updated docs are here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/NotifiersUpdateshttp://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/DataNotifiers
* Mesh.add_geometry, Mesh.update and make indices editable. This
is without checking if they are valid still, no time now to
implement this.
* Also fix warnings in rna_ui.c, and a bug in CDDM_calc_edges.
Example code:
co = [0.0, 0.0, 0.0] + [1.0, 0.0, 0.0] + [0.0, 1.0, 0.0] + [1.0, 1.0, 0.0]
faces = [0, 1, 2, 0] + [1, 3, 2, 0]
mesh.add_geometry(4, 0, 2)
mesh.verts.foreach_set("co", co)
mesh.faces.foreach_set("verts", faces)
mesh.update()
Current issues:
- NURBS - needs API additions
- "all scenes" export - cannot switch scene in bpy
- normal calculation, disabled
- duplis - need testing, only dupliverts tested
- matrix problem
- UI, 18 options currently don't fit into filesel panel, will do manual lay out once it's available
- probably others...
BPY:
- made operator "execute" method required to avoid crash
- added bpy.sys module which replicates old "sys" module
API:
- replaced create_*_mesh with a single create_mesh accepting type parameter
- added Mesh.create_copy to create a copy of a mesh with 0 users
Ran `dos2unix` on source/blender/python/SConscript
* Main.remove_object
* Scene.add_object
* Scene.remove_object
* Object.convert_to_triface
* Object.create_preview_mesh
- a small tweak in set_mesh (blenkernel/inter/mesh.c) to make it work on objects having data == NULL
Merging changes made by Arystanbek in the soc-2009-kazanbas branch,
plus some things modified and added by me.
* The API files now all in the makesrna module, convention is to
call them e.g. rna_mesh_api.c for rna_mesh.c. Note for visual
studio build maintainers, the rna_*_api.c files are compiled as
part of "makesrna", but do not have rna_*_gen.c generated as part
of the library. SCons/cmake/make were updated.
* Added function flags FUNC_USE_CONTEXT and FUNC_USE_REPORTS, to
allow RNA functions to get context and error reporting parameters
optionally. Renamed FUNC_TYPESTATIC to FUNC_NO_SELF.
* RNA collections now have a pointer to add/remove FunctionRNA's, this
isn't actually used anywhere yet, purpose is to make an alias
main.meshes.add() for main.add_mesh() in python.
* Fixes to make autogenerating property set/get for multidimensional
arrays work, though a 4x4 matrix will be exposed as a length 16
one dimensional RNA array.
* Functions and properties added:
* Main.add_mesh()
* Main.remove_mesh()
* Object.matrix
* Object.create_render_mesh()
* WindowManager.add_fileselect()
