`CustomData_bmesh_interp_n` was expecting the 'dest' arg not to have its offset applied.
This was a bit confusing since the source args have it applied,
and in some cases we only have the destination with the offset.
This ensures slide with `Correct UVs` enabled, keeps UV's (any loop custom-data) contiguous.
Adds 2 key functions `BM_vert_loop_groups_data_layer_create` and `BM_vert_loop_groups_data_layer_merge`
They work by collecting matching loop custom-data around the vertices loop-fan,
and merging the custom-data after edits are made.
Thanks to @mont29 for review!
This merge-commit brings in a number of new features and workflow/UI improvements for
working with Grease Pencil. While these were originally targetted at improving
the workflow for creating 3D storyboards in Blender using the Grease Pencil,
many of these changes should also prove useful in other workflows too.
The main highlights here are:
1) It is now possible to edit Grease Pencil strokes
- Use D Tab, or toggle the "Enable Editing" toggles in the Toolbar/Properties regions
to enter "Stroke Edit Mode". In this mode, many common editing tools will
operate on Grease Pencil stroke points instead.
- Tools implemented include Select, Select All/Border/Circle/Linked/More/Less,
Grab, Rotate, Scale, Bend, Shear, To Sphere, Mirror, Duplicate, Delete.
- Proportional Editing works when using the transform tools
2) Grease Pencil stroke settings can now be animated
NOTE: Currently drivers don't work, but if time allows, this may still be
added before the release.
3) Strokes can be drawn with "filled" interiors, using a separate set of
colour/opacity settings to the ones used for the lines themselves.
This makes use of OpenGL filled polys, which has the limitation of only
being able to fill convex shapes. Some artifacts may be visible on concave
shapes (e.g. pacman's mouth will be overdrawn)
4) "Volumetric Strokes" - An alternative drawing technique for stroke drawing
has been added which draws strokes as a series of screen-aligned discs.
While this was originally a partial experimental technique at getting better
quality 3D lines, the effects possible using this technique were interesting
enough to warrant making this a dedicated feature. Best results when partial
opacity and large stroke widths are used.
5) Improved Onion Skinning Support
- Different colours can be selected for the before/after ghosts. To do so,
enable the "colour wheel" toggle beside the Onion Skinning toggle, and set
the colours accordingly.
- Different numbers of ghosts can be shown before/after the current frame
6) Grease Pencil datablocks are now attached to the scene by default instead of
the active object.
- For a long time, the object-attachment has proved to be quite problematic
for users to keep track of. Now that this is done at scene level, it is
easier for most users to use.
- An exception for old files (and for any addons which may benefit from object
attachment instead), is that if the active object has a Grease Pencil datablock,
that will be used instead.
- It is not currently possible to choose object-attachment from the UI, but
it is simple to do this from the console instead, by doing:
context.active_object.grease_pencil = bpy.data.grease_pencil["blah"]
7) Various UI Cleanups
- The layers UI has been cleaned up to use a list instead of the nested-panels
design. Apart from saving space, this is also much nicer to look at now.
- The UI code is now all defined in Python. To support this, it has been necessary
to add some new context properties to make it easier to access these settings.
e.g. "gpencil_data" for the datablock
"active_gpencil_layer" and "active_gpencil_frame" for active data,
"editable_gpencil_strokes" for the strokes that can be edited
- The "stroke placement/alignment" settings (previously "Drawing Settings" at the
bottom of the Grease Pencil panel in the Properties Region) is now located in
the toolbar. These were more toolsettings than properties for how GPencil got drawn.
- "Use Sketching Sessions" has been renamed "Continuous Drawing", as per a
suggestion for an earlier discussion on developer.blender.org
- By default, the painting operator will wait for a mouse button to be pressed
before it starts creating the stroke. This is to make it easier to include
this operator in various toolbars/menus/etc. To get it immediately starting
(as when you hold down DKEy to draw), set "wait_for_input" to False.
- GPencil Layers can be rearranged in the "Grease Pencil" mode of the Action Editor
- Toolbar panels have been added to all the other editors which support these.
8) Pie menus for quick-access to tools
A set of experimental pie menus has been included for quick access to many
tools and settings. It is not necessary to use these to get things done,
but they have been designed to help make certain common tasks easier.
- Ctrl-D = The main pie menu. Reveals tools in a context sensitive and
spatially stable manner.
- D Q = "Quick Settings" pie. This allows quick access to the active
layer's settings. Notably, colours, thickness, and turning
onion skinning on/off.
This patch includes the work done in the terrible consequencer branch
that hasn't been merged to master minus a few controversial and WIP
stuff, like strip parenting, new sequence data structs and cuddly
widgets.
What is included:
* Strip extensions only when slipping. It can very easily be made an
option but with a few strips with overlapping durations it makes view
too crowded and difficult to make out.
* Threaded waveform loading + code that restores waveforms on undo (not
used though, since sound_load recreates everything. There's a patch for
review D876)
* Toggle to enable backdrop in the strip sequence editor
* Toggle to easily turn on/off waveform display
* Snapping during transform on sequence boundaries. Snapping to start or
end of selection depends on position of mouse when invoking the operator
* Snapping of timeline indicator in sequencer to strip boundaries. To
use just press and hold ctrl while dragging.

Differential Revision: https://developer.blender.org/D904
Basically, get the grid increments and reuse them when snapping. System
is slightly crappy here, we should calculate those factors only once,
but leaving as todo for later.
Use BLI's `rotation_between_vecs_to_mat3` helper instead of own custom code,
both simplifies the code and fixes wrong handling when snapped normal was exactly
opposed to org one (i.e. 180° rot case).
This is a very old bug and a few attempts have been made to fix it before,
Old code was checking worldspace axis flipping, instead of axis flipping WRT the axis-alignment of the object.
Turned out there were several issues in handling of scale parameter by numinput.
Fixed that by factorizing more some code in common with 'usual' numbuttons eval code
(new `bUnit_getScaleUnit()` helper will return valid scaled value, depending on
given system and type).
Now, numinput behaves as expected - using default unit amended by scale in case no unit is given
(i.e. entering '20' with a scale of 0.01 will give you 20cm, and '20cm' as well!).
Commented out the 'no zero' protection of scaling transforms for numinput.
Issue is, once an axis has null scale, you can't regrow it from transform code
(you have to directly edit the scale property). This is not ideal, but getting
good behavior in this case is hairy...
Yet, when using numinput, you type precise values, so if you want to set it to zero,
set it to zero. User is assumed responsible, we should avoid too much 'invisible magic'
when handling precise inputs. ;)
Note: an idea for possible future feature would be to have an 'absolute' mode for numinput
(allowing to type in real value, not factors).
Yep, at last it's here!
There are a few minor issues remaining but development can go on in
master after discussion at blender institute.

Thanks to Sergey and Campbell for the extensive review and to the
countless artists that have given their input and reported issues during
development.
Handle vectors for the initial location were only stored when the handles are actually
selected for transform. When only the master vertex is moved this can still affect
the handles though, since they are constraint to one side of the master vertex.
Now the handle data is stored regardless of whether handles are included in the transform,
so on cancel their location is reset correctly as well.
When autosnap mode was nearest frame or nearest marker, this was incorrectly
converting the units to seconds, making this display unusable for anything.
They were using INPUT_SPRING in a way which didn't allow
it to easily redo the operator because INPUT_SPRING internally
is stored as a ration between old value and new one and crease
and bevel were converting this to value delta.
Now made it special input type INPUT_SPRING_DELTA which is
storing delta of the spring, meaning now values in the redo
panel kind of makes sense -- they mean how much to add/remove
to the crease/bevel weight.
Expect to be no functional changes from interactive transform
POV, just a bit more convenient to use redo panel.
