Now, when close a geometry with cyclic is possible generate new geometry for the gap.
The cyclic operator now supports multiframe edition too. Before only worked with active frame.
Also added the corresponding missing menu options and the new F keymap. All these features were missing, pending of the fix of the alpha glitches in stroke already done.
Now, when you add an slot and then draw, the automatic created material will use the empty slot, instead to add a new slot and leave a empty one.
This fix only works if you add only an empty slot. We could remove any empty slot in the middle, but as this has no impact in the drawing or file, it does not worth the CPU time to review every time the material list. Anyway, the user can press delete button to remove any empty slot.
If we see this is a big problem in the future, we can reopen the bug and add this cleaning function.
This was a design decision, but now we have decided to change it using the active material for the strokes using deleted material.
If the material slot is empty a new material is created to keep the strokes visible.
Usually the brush type is correct, but for some old files the brush could be a not valid type. In this case, returns the object active material.

This commit adds support for drawing Dots strokes with a gradient factor to get artistic effects like watercolor.
Currently, the option is only supported by Dots materials, and in the future will be added to line strokes, but now there is a limitation on drawing engine and we will keep disabled on Line materials.
Also, added the option to align Dots and Boxes strokes textures aligned with the drawing path to get more fluid strokes.
- The ambiguous term 'handle' was used where 'ensure'
is typically used (get or add when missing).
- Rename `current` to `active`, all `current` functions which were
also ensuring.
- Clarify what is being operated on, using `BKE_gpencil_object_*` for
objects, `BKE_gpencil_brush_*` for brushes.
A new parameter in the layer adjustment panel allows to define the color of the channel in Dopesheet.
This is needed when there are a lot of layers.
See D4623 for more details.
Using GP_BRUSH_MATERIAL_PINNED to switch between active material and brush material, instead of updating all brushes on active material changes. This will allow brushes to have no material and therefore to not inflate the user count.
This fix T62465.

There was a conflict between Object "In Front" and how the strokes were managed in Stroke panel for grease pencil datablock.
In order to keep consistency, the order of the object has been moved to Object level and now it's using the standard "In Front" flag. As all it is 3D, the option "Back" has been removed.
This also fixes the problem with task T62137.

New edit mode operator and post-processing brush option.
Trim works on a single GP stroke. It removes trailing points before and after the first intersection (or loop) nearest to the start of the stroke.
BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.
This commit groups a set of new tools that were tested in grease pencil object branch before moving to master. We decide to do all the development in a separated branch because it could break master during days or weeks before the new tools were ready to deploy.
The commit includes:
- New Cutter tool to trim strokes and help cleaning up drawings.
- New set of constraints and guides to draw different types of shapes. All the credits for this development goes to Charlie Jolly (@charlie), thanks for your help!
- Segment selection mode to select strokes between intersections.
- New operator to change strokes cap mode.
- New option to display only keyframed frames. This option is very important when fill strokes with color.
- Multiple small fixes and tweaks.
Thanks to @pepeland and @mendio for their ideas, tests, reviews and support.
Note: Still pending the final icons for Cutter in Toolbar and Segment Selection in Topbar. @billreynish could help us here?
The GP_STROKE_RECALC_CACHE identifier was changed to GP_STROKE_RECALC_GEOMETRY because the previous name was confusing and could be confused with the recalculation of the Draw Manager cache.
There were at least three copies of those:
- OB_RECALC* family of flags, which are rudiment of an old
dependency graph system.
- PSYS_RECALC* which were used by old dependency graph system
as a separate set since the graph itself did not handle
particle systems.
- DEG_TAG_* which was used to tag IDs.
Now there is a single set, which defines what can be tagged
and queried for an update. It also has some aggregate flags
to make queries simpler.
Lets once and for all solve the madness of those flags, stick
to a single set, which will not overlap with anything or require
any extra conversion.
Technically, shouldn't be measurable user difference, but some
of the agregate flags for few dependency graph components did
change.
Fixes T58632: Particle don't update rotation settings
The old onion skinning used in 2.7x has been ported and converted to 2.8. Only basic features have been included. For more advanced onion skin features, use grease pencil objects.
Onion Skin is supported in View 3D and Sequencer.
This is part of T57829.
Reduce the number of batches used to only one by shader type. This reduces GPU overhead and increase a lot the FPS. As the number of batches is small, the time to allocate and free memory was reduced in 90% or more.
Also the code has been simplified and all batch management has been removed because this is not necessary. Now, all shading groups are created after all vertex buffer data for all strokes has been created using DRW_shgroup_call_range_add().
All batch cache data has been moved to the Object runtime struct and not as before where some parts (derived data) were saved inside GPD datablock.
For particles, now the code is faster and cleaner and gets better FPS.
Thanks to Clément Foucault for his help and advices to improve speed.
