Handling of keyword arguments in Python wrapper class constructors was revised.
This revision is mainly focused on Interface0D, Interface1D, Iterator, and
their subclasses, as well as a few additional view map component classes.
Implementation notes: Because of the extensive use of constructor overloading
in the underlying C++ classes, the corresponding Python wrappers try to parse
arguments through multiple calls of PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords() if needed.
The downside of this implementation is that most argument errors result in the
same error message ("invalid argument(s)") without indicating what is wrong.
For now this issue is left for future work.
* Now the instantiation of ViewVertex is prohibited since the underlying
C++ class is an abstract class.
* Removed the .cast_to_interface0diterator() method from CurvePointIterator
and StrokeVertexIterator. Instead the constructor of Interface0DIterator now
accepts the instances of these two iterator classes to construct a nested
Interface0DIterator instance that can be passed to Function0D functor objects.
Specifically, an iterator 'it' is passed to a functor 'func' as follows:
func(Interface0DIterator(it))
instead of:
func(it.cast_to_interface0diterator())
* Boolean arguments of class constructors only accept values of boolean type.
Input values of other types are considered as error.
* Additional code clean-up was made.
Major API updates were made to address code review comments.
This revision mostly focuses on Python wrappers of C++ 0D and 1D elements (i.e.,
Interface0D and Interface1D, as well as their subclasses).
* Most getter/setter methods were reimplemented as attributes using PyGetSetDef.
Vector attributes are now implemented based on mathutils callbacks. Boolean
attributes now only accept boolean values.
* The __getitem__ method was removed and the Sequence protocol was used instead.
* The naming of methods and attributes was fixed to follow the naming conventions
of the Blender Python API (i.e., lower case + underscores for methods and attributes,
and CamelCase for classes). Some naming inconsistency within the Freestyle Python
API was also addressed.
* The Freestyle API had a number of method names including prefix/suffix "A" and
"B", and their meanings were inconsistent (i.e., referring to different things
depending on the classes). The names with these two letters were replaced with
more straightforward names. Also some attribute names were changed so as to indicate
the type of the value (e.g., FEdge.next_fedge instead of FEdge.next_edge) in line
with other names explicitly indicating what the value is (e.g., SVertex.viewvertex).
* In addition, some code clean-up was done in both C++ and Python.
Notes:
In summary, the following irregular naming changes were made through this revision
(those resulting from regular changes of naming conventions are not listed):
- CurvePoint: {A,B} --> {first,second}_svertex
- FEdge: vertex{A,B} --> {first,second}_svertex
- FEdge: {next,previous}Edge --> {next,previous}_fedge
- FEdgeSharp: normal{A,B} --> normal_{right,left}
- FEdgeSharp: {a,b}FaceMark --> face_mark_{right,left}
- FEdgeSharp: {a,b}Material --> material_{right,left}
- FEdgeSharp: {a,b}MaterialIndex --> material_index_{right,left}
- FrsCurve: empty --> is_empty
- FrsCurve: nSegments --> segments_size
- TVertex: mate() --> get_mate()
- ViewEdge: fedge{A,B} --> {first,last}_fedge
- ViewEdge: setaShape, aShape --> occlude
- ViewEdge: {A,B} --> {first,last}_viewvertex
- ViewMap: getScene3dBBox --> scene_bbox
(http://freestyle.sourceforge.net/doc/html/index.html) has been
incorporated into the Blender/Freestyle Python API implementation
in the form of Sphinx-based embedded docstrings. Some C++-specific
descriptions of classes and functions were revised so that they are
suitable for Python programmers. Missing docstrings were filled,
and sparse descriptions were extended. By means of the new
documentation system for Blender, an up-to-date Freestyle Python
API reference will be part of the Blender 2.5 documentation.
