This logic is from the curve sundivide node, used to add points with
proper handles in between two existing points. However, the same logic
is used for trimming of Bezier splines, and possibly interactive point
insertion in the future, so it's helpful as a general utility.
The logic is converted to depend on a bezier spline instead of being
static. A temporary segment spline can be used for the latter use case.
This commit moves the storage of `bDeformGroup` and the active index
to `Mesh`, `Lattice`, and `bGPdata` instead of `Object`. Utility
functions are added to allow easy access to the vertex groups given
an object or an ID.
As explained in T88951, the list of vertex group names is currently
stored separately per object, even though vertex group data is stored
on the geometry. This tends to complicate code and cause bugs,
especially as geometry is created procedurally and tied less closely
to an object.
The "Copy Vertex Groups to Linked" operator is removed, since they
are stored on the geometry anyway.
This patch leaves the object-level python API for vertex groups in
place. Creating a geometry-level RNA API can be a separate step;
the changes in this commit are invasive enough as it is.
Note that opening a file saved in 3.0 in an earlier version means
the vertex groups will not be available.

This commit adds a curve primitive node for creating squares,
rectangles, trapezoids, kites, and parallelograms. It also includes
a mode where the four points are just vector inputs.

Rename the mesh circle to "Mesh Circle", mesh line to "Mesh Line",
and mesh subdivide to "Mesh Subdivide". Previously they looked exactly
the same in the search menu, and the nodes themselves had the same
label. This is a "deep" rename that also renames internal defines and
function names to match the UI.
This node is quite similar to the curve to points node, but creates
points for only the start and end of each spline. This is a separate
node because the sampling from the curve to points node don't apply,
and just for ease of use.
All attributes from the curves are copied, including the data for
instancing: tangents, normals, and the derived rotations. One simple
use case is to make round caps on curves by instancinghalves of a
sphere on each end of the splines.

The curve resample node neglected to copy attributes to single point
result splines. That could have caused errors if some of the splines
in the result had only one point but others had more.
The menu lists all socket types that are valid for the node tree.
Changing a socket type updates all instances of the group and keeps
existing links to the socket.
If changing the socket type leads to incorrect node connections the
links are flagged as invalid (red) and ignored but not removed. This is
so users don't lose information and can then fix resulting issues.
For example: Changing a Color socket to a Shader socket can cause an
invalid Shader-to-Color connection.
Implementation details:
The new `NODE_OT_tree_socket_change_type` operator uses the generic
`rna_node_socket_type_itemf` function to list all eligible socket types.
It uses the tree type's `valid_socket_type` callback to test for valid
types. In addition it also checks the subtype, because multiple RNA
types are registered for the same base type. The `valid_socket_type`
callback has been modified slightly to accept full socket types instead
of just the base type enum, so that custom (python) socket types can be
used by this operator.
The `nodeModifySocketType` function is now called when group nodes
encounter a socket type mismatch, instead of replacing the socket
entirely. This ensures that links are kept to/from group nodes as well
as group input/output nodes. The `nodeModifySocketType` function now
also takes a full `bNodeSocketType` instead of just the base and subtype
enum (a shortcut `nodeModifySocketTypeStatic` exists for when only
static types are used).

This node creates a poly spline line in one of 2 modes:
- Line between two points
- Start Point, Direction, and Length
Both modes create splines with only start and endpoints.
A resample node can be used afterward to increase the point count.

This adds a viewer node similar to the one in the compositor.
The icon in the headers of nodes is removed because it served
the same purpose and is not necessary anymore.
Node outputs can be connected to the active viewer using
ctrl+shift+LMB, just like in the compositor. Right now this collides
with the shortcut used in the node wrangler addon, which will
be changed separately.
As of now, the viewed geometry is only visible in the spreadsheet.
Viewport visualization will be added separately.
There are a couple of benefits of using a viewer node compared
to the old approach with the icon in the node header:
* Better support for nodes that have more than one geometry output.
* It's more consistent with the compositor.
* If attributes become decoupled from geometry in the future,
the viewer can have a separate input for the attribute to visualize.
* The viewer node could potentially have visualization settings.
* Allows to keep "visualization points" around by having multiple
viewer nodes.
* Less visual clutter in node headers.

A point of confusion about this node is that it doesn't work on the
output of the mesh circle primitive node. This patch adds a warning to
help with that. This avoids adding a warning when the geometry set
input has no mesh.
Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D11771
As noted in a comment now, these functions only update a cache, so they
don't change the logical state of the mesh, which is "it will have the
data when necessary." Using a const argument will help const correctness
when accessing an object's evaluated mesh.
This node has two modes: the first mode computes a circle from three
locations and a resolution. The second takes radius and resolution.
The first mode also outputs the center of the computed circle as
a vector.

start handle, end handle, end) and a resolution. The handles are

to allow specifying the handles relative to the control points.

This node creates a curve spline and gives control for the number of
rotations, the number of points per rotation, start and end radius,
height, and direction. The "Reverse" input produces a visual change,
it doesn't just change the order of the control points.

This patch adds a Curve Primitives menu in Geometry nodes with an
initial entry of a star primitive.
The node is a basic star pattern node that outputs a poly spline.
Options control the inner and outer radius, the number of points,
and the twist of the valleys.

* Reduce code duplication.
* Give methods more standardized names (e.g. `move_to_initialized` -> `move_assign`).
* Support wrapping arbitrary C++ types, even those that e.g. are not copyable.
Make the virtual functions protected and simpler, so that the logic is
better contained in the base class's implementation. Also introduce a
`copy_without_attributes` method to be used for realizing instances.
`src` and `dst` are perfectly clear, and avoid repeating unecessary
characters when writing the variables many times, allowing more space
for everything else.
This commit optimizes the node for the case where it works on many
splines by allowing it to generate mesh data from their combinations
in parallel. By itself, this made the node around twice as fast in my
test file with a result of 20 million vertices, around 600ms instead of
1.2s before.
That isn't actually a very good result; it reveals another bottleneck,
a single threaded loop over all face corners in the mesh normal
calculation code. As a simple change that might improve performance
in some situations, this commit moves normal calculation out of this
node, so at least the work isn't wasted if the mesh is changed later
on in the node tree anyway.
The //Raycast// node intersects rays from one geometry onto another.
It computes hit points on the target mesh and returns normals, distances
and any surface attribute specified by the user.
A ray starts on each point of the input //Geometry//. Rays continue
in the //Ray Direction// until they either hit the //Target Geometry//
or reach the //Ray Length// limit. If the target is hit, the value of the
//Is Hit// attribute in the output mesh will be true. //Hit Position//,
//Hit Normal//, //Hit Distance// and //Hit Index// are the properties of the
target mesh at the intersection point. In addition, a //Target Attribute//
can be specified that is interpolated at the hit point and the result
stored in //Hit Attribute//.

This node creates splines with more control points in between the
existing control points. The point is to give the splines more
definition for further tweaking like randomization with white noise,
instead of deforming a resampled poly spline with a noise texture.
For poly splines and NURBS, the node simply interpolates new values
between the existing control points. However, for Bezier splines,
the result follows the existing evaluated shape of the curve, changing
the handle positions and handle types to make that possible.
The number of "cuts" can be controlled by an integer input, or an
attribute can be used. Both spline and point domain attributes are
supported, so the number of cuts can vary using the value from the
point at the start of each segment.
Dynamic curve attributes are interpolated to the result with linear
interpolation.

This namespace groups threading related functions/classes. This avoids
adding more threading related stuff to the blender namespace. Also it
makes naming a bit easier, e.g. the c++ version of BLI_task_isolate could
become blender::threading::isolate_task or something similar.

Implementation of T86970. This node takes a geometry input with
multiple components and outputs them by component type. Meshes,
Curves, and Point Clouds support combining multiple input instances,
while volumes will only output the first volume component input until
suitable instance realization for multiple volumes is finished.
When direct geometry instancing is implemented it will be possible to
avoid realizing instances in this node.

Just like the way we often have a choice between an attribute input and
a single float, this adds the ability to choose between attribute and
integer input sockets, useful for D11421.
This commit lets the join geometry node transfer dynamic attributes
to the result, the same way that point cloud and mesh attributes are
joined. The implementation is different though, because of an
optimization implemented for curves to avoid copying splines.
The result attribute is added with the highest priority domain (points
over splines), and the highest complexity data type. If one curve had
the attribute on the spline domain but not others, the point domain
values will be used.
Generally this is a bit lower level than I would have liked this code
to be, but should be efficient, and it's really not too complicated.

Instead of building a set and then determining the final domain and
type for every attribute separately in the loop, construct a map with
the necessary data in the first place. This is simpler and should be
slightly more efficient.
Split from D11491
This is an implementation of T88722. It accepts a curve object and
for each spline, reverses the order of the points and all attributes.
This is more of a foundational node to support other nodes in the
future (like curve deform)
Selection takes spline domain attributes to determine which splines
are selected. If no selection is present all splines are reversed.

This node implements the second option of T87429, creating points
along the input splines with the necessary evaluated information
for instancing: `tangent`, `normal`, and `rotation` attributes.
All generic curve point and spline attributes are copied to the
result points as well.
The "Count" and "Length" methods are just like the current options
in the resample node, but the output is points instead of a curve.
The "Evaluated" method uses the points you see on the curve directly,
and therefore should be the fastest.
The rotation data is retrieved from a transform matrix built with the
same method that the curve to mesh node uses. The radius attribute is
divided by 10 so the points don't look absurdly huge in the viewport.
In the future that could be an option.
For the implementation, one thing that could use an improvement
is the amount of temporary allocations while resampling to evaluated
points before the final points. I expect that reusing a buffer for
each thread would give a nice improvement.
