* As a test, used by:
* Object buttons, tried to make it match the mockup.
* Text window header.
* Text window properties panel.
* Panel interaction with view2d is still problematic, need to make
this work properly still.
* Templates are very basic, the ones there are simple but already
can follow the object buttons mockup quite closely.
* It's based on a three level system: panels, templates and items.
To get an idea of what that means in practice, see:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/UI_LayoutEngine#Panels.2C_Templates_and_Items
* Scrollers for zoomable views are now always shown again. The previous method was quite bad for these, as there would be flickering as the view was zoomed + panned. Also, the old method was not suggestive of the drag-zoom features on the scrollers, which was provided by the shaded bars. (Non-zoomable views will still only show scrollers where appropriate).
* Insert-Key in 3d-view (i.e. the 'temp' operator which still needs to be ported to use builtin relative keyingsets) had a bug where the wrong keyframe were being inserted (rotation in instead of location, scaling instead of rotation) for bones.
Made sliders behave correct in SpaceGraph and SpaceAction.
- no slider draw when all is visible
- sliders update correct when visibility changes.
Still an issue here to tackle; view2d->tot is used incorrect...
it's set on window size now (??), it should be the boundbox of
the entire contents. That allows correct slider draws and ops
like 'view home'.
Will poke Joshua tomorrow. :)
*** Proof of concept! ****
3D window Panels back, in own designated region for now.
Activate or hide it with Nkey.
Note that Background Image doesn't work yet, Transform
Orientations probably need tests by Martin, Sculpt options
have to be recoded there by Nicholas.
The UI design sessions will of course review all of this!
We'll have to solve a lot of related topics;
- navigation (where) and context (what)
- non-overlapping layouts vs floating panels/bars
- properties vs tools (toolbars)
- drop panels and make nice (semi-automated) list views?
I've also done experiments with making the main 3d view
stay 'behind' the buttons region. That makes popping buttons
in and out less distracting, but also makes it obscuring
the view... it's not in this commit, it didn't work proper :)
To get that work it has to be handled by the internal
compositor, then it even can have fancy transparency in back.
Anyhoo, time enough to play with this a while. Especially for
Image window (paint) it can work well too.
* Removed Sequencer's own 'border zoom' tool. There is a generic one in View2D that should be used instead.
* Changed the hotkey for View2D's version of borderzoom to Shift-B
* Fixed a few hotkey mentions entries in old menus
* Added set start/end frame operators for TimeLine. (SKEY and EKEY)
* Fixed various issues in Graph Editor
- channels area is now drawn wide enough to show the 'protect' toggles without needing to scroll
- new Graph Editors have 'auto-snap' enabled by default
Some drawing tweaks for animsys:
- added notifier ND_KEYS type, to send proper notes around.
now insert-key redraws fcurve/action view
- made slider-draggers disappear when view is total or bigger.
Also experimented with making sliders go away entirely, but
this conflicts too much with current code for channel lists.
Ali: I think you have to make call that calculates the 'tot'
for channels, and run this in region listener, including the
totRect update for view2d.
The 'minsize' for channels also fails when there's a slider,
it always doesn't fit then :)
* View2D to region now returns ints instead of shorts.
* Use "Numpad" instead of "Pad" in automatic keymap menu info.
* Menus can now use buttons other than BUTM and SEPR, in
particular TOG and ROW are now supported instead of flipping
bits manually.
* Added a simpler uiDefMenu* api for making menus now, and it
only supports Operator and RNA buttons at the moment, will be
used in next commit. Not sure how this will evolve .. makes
menu code look cleaner anyways.
* Ensure that interface code doesn't crash when getting unknown
Operators and RNA properties, and display their buttons grayed
out in that case.
12k lines of sequencer back! Only seqaudio.c skipped for now.
Notes:
- it only draws now, nothing refreshes or edits.
- fixed bug in view2d.c with vertical grid step being 0.0f
- render code and fileselect code is #ifdeffed out
- sequence evaluation code moved to blenkernel, so it can
be used for render without bad level calls
General note; sequencer code is very untidy, mixing styles too
much. Tried to clean it some, but it would be nice if formatting
is kept consistant from now on.
* Animation channels - cleaned up the code for selecting channels (removed various TODO stuff that's going to be replaced by something better later). Also, added back the ctrl-shift select feature for groups, which should be extended for other channels too at some stage.
* Outliner - added missing flags to do-versions, and replaced the width calculations with the rna-width version for now, as that uses constant width of 100 with OL_X*indention
Cleaned up the View2D setup stuff here, by removing all the hacky manual setting of tot and cur rects. Now the Outliner and RNA are scrollable again.
However, in the process, I uncovered a few rather nasty bugs that must've been around for ages.
1) The width-calculation code depends on te->xend for calculating the max-extents, but that is not set until drawing of channels commences. This is far too late, as it is needed for the setting of the 'tot' rect's extents, so that we can have horizontal scrolling, and an accurate horizontal scroller! I noticed that RNA version of this currently hacks around this by using constant width of 100, but that's not a great final solution.
2) There's some minor pixel offset twitching going on with the restriction columns when the view is resized. Also, for RNA, the buttons sometimes cause a few drawing artifacts. Will check on this in part 2.
* Added back deselect all (and invert all) tools for Animation Channels (i.e. channel list in Action Editor).
* Resolved all MSVC warnings (I came across) in View2d code. Also, added a new API method to get the coordinates (in 'view' space) of a listview 'cell' given the row + column the cell is in.
* Tidied up a few comments here and there
First commit for 2009!
Started of porting of Animation Editor Channels stuff.
This code will be used for both the Action and IPO editors, so any existing code involving this has now been moved to the Animation module.
* Added mouse-click operator for this channels view. Note: the selection stuff currently uses temporary toggling code only (i.e. it only toggles the selection of the channels in the editor, but does not update status of rest of database).
* Fixed bugs in View2D listview functions. Reduced the amount of code needed, and makes the code here simpler.
* Renamed action_edit_keyframes.c to action_edit.c, since channels are not handled there anymore.
* Dopesheet now refreshes correctly when object selection elsewhere changes.
Added methods for easier checking of visiblity/position of items arranged in some regular table format (i.e. columns and/or rows).
Last commit from me for 2008!
* API and usage is basically the same still.
* Panels were moved to region level. I first thought of keeping them at area
level, but having them at region level it's simpler to handle events and do
drawing, and also to integrate with view2d. They can still become area level
overlapping regions, if we make a floating (or docked) region that can
contain panels.
* Added back a few panels from the scene buttons for testing.
Issues still:
* The view2d handling and alignment refresh of panels is not correct yet in the
buttons window.
* I did not yet bring back the block handlers system. It was basically a system
that stored which panel was open and where the events for that panel would go.
Just a few functions, but not sure how it fits in 2.5.
* There was a case where dragging panels would not properly remove the window
level handler, but could not redo anymore even though I don't think I fixed
it.
* Some text in the panels goes past the end of the button, that is due to the
checkmark button drawing, not related to this commit.
Other UI code changes:
* Renamed interface.h to interface_intern.h for consistency.
* Fixed some issues with freeing of blocks when they changed due to context.
* uiDrawBlock now takes a context pointer (mostly for block drawextra).
* Brought back backend for editing keyframes IPO/IPO-Curves. Did some refactoring work here that will still have to be verified when operators using them are added.
* Animation channel filtering code now returns the number of channels filtered (for Action Editor to set totrect of channels - TODO still!)
* View2D - made function to check if mouse is in View2D scrollers an API function
* Renamed keyframe related files. The old names were too clumsy.
* Started porting click-select operators for Action Editor. These don't work currently, as the events are being stolen by the markers. This needs to be fixed ASAP.
* View Pan Operator now stores area, etc. values from context in case user moves out of view
* Moved the invalid-context check for Action Editor so that mode can still be changed when there's no data to show.
Cleanup
- for portablity we can keep the old ugly defines for retrieving
active object, cfra and so on. But, they will use 'scene' not
G.scene.
- fixed code that uses those defines.
- some unused variables/functions removed
Alignment flags are now checked for after keeptot settings, as these flags are of even greater importance. This is necessary for the syncing of the channels region and timeline areas in Action Editor (and later NLA Editor).
All of the view3d drawing code is now 'Context' free.
The idea is:
- ED_region_do_draw() sets and freezes drawing context
- regiontype draw() callback then can pass on other relevant
context stuff as function args.
Also cleaned up the WM opengl wrappers, to mimic opengl state;
no reason to give window pointer anymore.
* Added flags to View2D to specify whether the view should have pixel offsets applied (this is able to be specified per axis, just in case the need arises). Currently, this is only used for headers, where the UI elements were not as smooth + round as they could be
* Fixed IPO/Action/NLA so that new instance will show channel lists by default and with scrollers
* Fixed Outliner zoom-in/out on changing windowsize. I didn't notice this on my previous custom .B.blend file, but the problem was apparent in the default setup.
Context API
This adds the context API as described here. The main practical change
now is that C is not longer directly accessible but has to be accessed
through accessor functions. This basically adds the implementation of
the API and adaption of existing code with some minor changes. The next
task of course is to actually use this design to cleanup of bad level
calls and global access, in blenkernel, blenloader.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/Context
Error, Warning and Debug Info Reporting
This adds the error reporting API as described here. It should help
clean up error() calls in non-ui code, but eventually can become used
for gathering messages for a console window, and throwing exceptions
in python scripts when an error happens executing something.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/Reports
Now, preset view configurations are only to be used if they define all (scrollers not included) relevant settings for the view they are set for. This should be less confusing than in the previous situation with V2D_COMMONVIEW_TIMELINE stuff.
One implication of this though, is that all Animation Editors (for example), will have to define their own version of the relatively commonly shared info. However, given the great diversity in the range of settings each have, this should not be too much of an issue.
Also, added a 'standard' view config for main 'window' regions. At this stage, it is recommended that this view config should be used only as a placeholder template on which a set of custom settings could be based. I've put it into use for the buttons window/scripts window/info window so far.
More notifier cleanup;
- removed view2d sync notifier, its data operations are too complex
for UI hints/notes, direct calls work too :)
- updated missing gpl header in region file
Noticed weird delay on menu refreshing now... will check.
Work on getting notifiers in shape.
- Most important: local (to own region or area) redraw notifiers
have been depricated. This is not a good or correct notifier anyway.
Notifiers should be signals to other areas.
- Instead use these 2 functions:
ED_area_tag_redraw(area);
ED_region_tag_redraw(region);
It seems to me good convention to keep the area/region redraw tag
itself protected everywhere, for future improvements.
- Also added a basic WM function that checks overlapping regions,
and flushes redraws to underlying regions. This makes menus and
buttons allow to only send local region redraws.
(Brought back two "swapbuffer indicators" to test this.
- Todo: area 'action zone' redraws, and fixing other notifiers...
sending data pointers in a notifier seems to be bad idea.
Improved the View2D API so that initialising View2D data in init() callbacks (called on new regions and also on resizing regions) for regions is easier.
Added a few preset view configurations for use when initialising new views. Views with the V2D_IS_INITIALISED flag set will not be reinitialised in the init() callbacks. Currently, some of these configurations will set/override all settings (like V2D_COMMONVIEW_LIST and V2D_COMMONVIEW_HEADER), while other ones serve a more supplimentary role (i.e. V2D_COMMONVIEW_TIMELINE only sets the x-axis settings, relying on the region to have already set the relevant y-axis settings).
The future of such supplimentary configurations is yet to be seen, as I'm currently not sure whether they will cause the code to become too confusing, as you'd have to keep track of which settings belong/are set where. So far, only a few areas have been ported to use this. Tomorrow I'll check on a few more.
As this commit touches a lot of files, hopefully there aren't any critical bugs I've missed here.
Added notifiers for timeline syncing. Works for Timeline window
only now.
Note that I've removed the malloc-free in a Notifier... notifier
system is still under probabtion :)
- depricated area "headbutofs" and "headbutlen", which is now fully
replaced with view2d handling.
- needed to add header default V2D_ALIGN_NO_NEG_Y, V2D_LOCKOFS_Y seems
to not do anything atm :)
- new: running blender in debug (blender -d) will print the current
handler and operator in use (not mousemove)
I've gone through and simplified some of the redundant options while documenting the various settings (in the code and also in the Wiki Doc), to make it clearer how to use each option.
'Preset' view-types have yet to be fully implemented, but started groundwork for this. Only some commonly used view configurations will be defined using this method. For all others, they still need to define all relavent view settings themselves (as there's too much variation in terms of the various editor's use of View2D).
IPO Editor now draws with channels on the left, like all other anim editors. Now, how to make this wider...
* Scrollers now keep corners free for drawing widgets if there are horizontal and vertical ones in use. They draw a rect which covers up all of the excess over-flowing drawing that was previously masked by the vertical scrollers.
* Tweaked the behaviour of the scroller zoom-handles again as they still weren't behaving correctly on vertical scrollers. This was partly caused by a typo, but also wrong checks...
* Headers were twitching when moved again due to a hack I had made for the TimeLine
* Properly fixed TimeLine init so that grid will start in the right place.
* Scrollers now draw using nice rounded+shaded style everywhere
* When scrollers 'bubble' completely fills a scroller or is completely out of view, the view zooming using the handles is now only activated if the mouse is within a quarter of the total length of the scroller on either end of the scroller. Otherwise, pan is activated. This should make the scrollers more usable in anim editors.
* Fixed drawing of gridlines in TimeLine - needed to adjust ymin value of cur and tot rects to accomodate for the new mask/cur adjustments as old TimeLines didn't draw with 'real' scrollbars. Also, adjusted min/max values to fit these new tot/cur rect y-sizes.
* Tidying up vars and fixing errors in declaring new View2D types in preparation for simpler method of initialising views...
IPO Editor Fixes:
* Grid now draws correct. Fixed typo in gridline calculations preventing drawing from occurring. Also, set the right arguments to the appropriate View2D calls.
* Limited Ton's cur<->mask mapping 'hack' to Outliner only, as it was causing problems with the drawing of the grid. Perhaps there's still some faulty code in curRect_validate that should be changed instead...
* Horizontal scroller draws frames now by default. However, the values are still offset a bit, so will need further investigation.
Outliner Fixes:
* Fixed overlapping text problem with RNA-path and menus. Now RNA path draws as a label beside the menus, so there shouldn't be any more problems there.
* do_versions code now sets all appropriate flags, as old OOPS views could cause errors with scroller drawing + view manipulation operators which depend on flags being set.
Fixes in view2d:
- mask/slider rects were calculated wrong 1 pixel (was overlapping)
- found bug with outliner stretching on area-edge-dragging. It required
an extra mapping of the 'cur view' via mask to actual region.
- added v2d sanity check for uninitialized v2d's
- removed cruft in do_versions for headers (gets catched with above)
- added header-view2d-initialize function, for new-space calls
Fixes in areamanager:
- fixes in 'new space' for time/outliner/view2d
(unfinished)
For Joshua:
- Making time window higher shows it doesn't update 'cur'. Not sure
what kind of v2d flag should be checked or set?
Scrollers now draw in the 'rounded + shaded' style as much of the rest of Blender now. This is just a rough draft of what they could look like (vertical scrollbers in particular highlight the need for a complementary version of gl_round_box_shade).
TimeLine window pulldowns work sorta (for the options that were coded :)
Still trying to bring back code without recoding uiDefButs. In future these
will get directly operator stuff linked. For time being made a simple
operator call function, like:
WM_operator_call(C, "ED_MARKER_OT_add");
and for forcing operator to run in the main region-window:
WM_operator_call_rwin(C, "ED_MARKER_OT_add");
These calls also work for modal operators, like marker grab in this case.
Added support for panning headers using View2D of the header regions (only done for TimeLine, as only that one has buttons on it).
Currently, this uses some do_versions magic to initialise the View2D rects required, however, I'm not sure if all the information was safely ported over yet (notably height and position of rects due to alignment issues).
In the process, I noticed a few bugs with the current View2D code:
* UI_view2d_curRect_validate() is now called after UI_view2d_size_update(), as the size of the 'mask' rect is closely related to the size of the 'cur' rect (especially when zooming is locked).
* Fixed a bug in UI_view2d_curRect_validate() which meant that if the 'cur' rect was slightly larger than the 'tot' rect, and keeptot was set, the view would flicker between the two closely related positions.
Fixed a few typos in View2D code, which included the zoom-locking flags not being checked for correctly by the zoom operators.
This commit does NOT fix the problems with the Outliner 'cur' rect expanding/contracting as the view changes size. I still haven't found the cause of this, but it might be related to the off-by-1 errors with UI-widgets that brecht noted in TimeLine header...
Added back the Ctrl-MMB-drag zoom.
* It uses RNA-props for delta amounts to be added to the cur rect, as opposed to storing a transform factor like the others.
* Made the operator another repeatable one
* The user-pref Continue/Dolly/Scale options are still respected. Currently, this is not stored as an RNA-prop for repeated behaviour, as it is not necessary for this operator to function correctly (and also, this data would fall under 'context' info more)
Removed clamping of scroller 'bubble' to bounds of scroller, as it produced a confusing display when using handles to zoom view.
Implemented operator to work with scrollers. This should work reasonably well, but as always, more testing is needed.
* LMB-drag can now be used to initiate manipulations of scrollbars (so they can be dragged as per normal)
* By clicking on the 'dark regions' on the ends of the scroll bubble, it is possible to zoom the view (in a way similar to Sony Vegas scrollbars)
Tidied up code of other operators
* Re-labelled the current zoom operators, as there is still a modal click-drag zoom tool to be ported still
* Marked all of the existing view manipulation operators as redoable. Scrollers manipulator is not allowed to be redoable.
Assorted changes:
* Added more flags for Outliner on reading old files, to prevent more weird things happening as code expects certain flags these days
When time grids are drawn in 'seconds' not 'frames' (use the TKEY to toggle this in Timeline for testing), times are now printed in a timecode format similar to SMPTE. It deviates from SMPTE in several respects, otherwise the timecodes will collide with the current grid spacings (Note: this will be subject to review in future).
* Hours will only be shown when they are needed. This shouldn't cause too many problems, since it is highly unlikely to get sequences, etc. that long.
* Frames are only shown when zoomed in close enough. When they are shown, display of minutes is generally ommitted unless significant.
* I've used the semicolon (;) character as the delimeter between frames and seconds. This seems to be the convention in Final Cut Pro, Vegas, and Quicktime...
---
Also in this commit:
* added UI_view2d_status_enforce() call to the end of UI_view2d_totRect_set(), so that the caller will not have to worry about doing so.
* swapped the order of V2D_GRID_(NO)CLAMP defines so to be more consistent with older versions of Blender. Default (0) is now no-clamping.
