The depth cache (located in `RegionView3D::depths`) is used for quick
and simple occlusion testing in:
- particle selection,
- "Draw Curve" operator and
- "Interactive Light Track to Cursor" operator,
However, keeping a texture buffer in cache is not a recommended practice.
For displays with high resolution like 8k this represents something
around 132MB.
Also, currently, each call to `ED_view3d_depth_override` invalidates
the depth cache. So that depth is never reused in multiple calls from
an operator (this was not the case in blender 2.79).
This commit allows to create a depth cache and release it in the same
operator. Thus, the buffer is kept in cache for a short time, freeing
up space.
No functional changes.
This resolves a long standing bug in edge selection
(picking, circle, box & lasso).
Now when one of the edges vertices fails to project into screen space,
the edge is clipped by the viewport to calculate an on-screen location
that can be used instead.
This isn't default as it may be important for the on the screen location
not to be clipped by the viewport.
This patch adds support for filtering rows based on rules and values.
Filters will work for any attribute data source, they are a property
of the spreadsheet rather than of the attribute system. The properties
displayed in the row filter can depend on data type of the currently
visible column with that name. If the name is no longer visible, the
row filter filter is grayed out, but it will remember the value until
a column with its name is visible again.
Note: The comments in `screen.c` combined with tagging the sidebar
for redraw after the main region point to a lack of understanding
or technical debt, that is a point to improve in the future.
**Future Improvements**
* T89272: A search menu for visible columns when adding a new filter.
* T89273: Possibly a "Range" operation.

Starts scrolling when dragging a node or node link and going outside the current window.
Largely copied from the VIEW2D_OT_edge_pan operator.
Edge panning operator customdata and supporting functions now in
UI_view2d.h, so they could be used by operators in other editor
libraries. The VIEW2D_OT_edge_pan operator also uses this customdata and
shared functions now. Operators properties can be used to configure
edge panning margins and speed for each use case, rather than using
hardcoded values.
The speed function for edge panning has been tweaked somewhat:
* "Speed per pixel" has been replaced with a "speed ramp" distance.
This is more intuitive and also creates an upper bound for the speed,
which can otherwise become extreme with large cursor distance.
* "Max speed" is reached at the end of the speed ramp.
* Padding the region inside and outside is applied as before, but both
values are operator properties now.
Node transform operator also supports edge panning. This requires
an offset for changes in the view2d rect, otherwise nodes are "stuck"
to the original view.
Transform operator had cursor wrapping categorically enabled, but this
gets quite confusing with the edge scrolling mechanism. A new TransInfo
option T_NO_CURSOR_WRAP has been introduced to disable this behavior.
The double negative is a bit annoying, but want to avoid affecting the
existing transform modes, so by default it should still set the
OP_IS_MODAL_GRAB_CURSOR flag (which then sets the WM_CURSOR_WRAP_XY
flag during modal execution).

Creating a new full screen area had it's area initialized as empty,
updating the screen then set the area to a 3D view (as a fallback),
before the actual area type was set.
This made setting the intended space-type run the 3D views exit callback
on a 3D view without a View3D struct allocated, which the exit callback
needed to account for.
Resolve by calling ED_screen_change after the area type has been set.
This patch improves the 3DView statistics overlay to show LOCAL stats
while in local view. This means the stats can vary between 3DViews and
the statusbar when views are in local view, but this gives a much more
accurate count of the objects, and their components, that you are
directly working with rather than just scene values.

Widget drawing code already supported drawing right-aligned, grayed out
shortcut strings. This patch generalizes things a bit so this can also
be used to draw other hints in the same way. There have been a few
instances in the past where this would've been useful, D11046 being the
latest one.
Note that besides some manual regression testing, I didn't check if this
works yet, as there is no code actually using it (other than the
shortcuts). Can be checked as part of further development for D11046.
A possible further improvement would be providing a way to define how
clipping should be done. E.g. sometimes the right-aligned text should be
clipped first (because it's just a hint), in other cases it should be
left untouched (like current code explicitly does it for shortcuts).
Removes the `UI_BUT_HAS_SHORTCUT` flag, which isn't needed anymore.
Support calculating face normals when tessellating. When this is done
before updating vertex normals it gives ~20% performance improvement.
Now vertex normal calculation only needs to perform a single pass on the
mesh vertices when called after tessellation.
Extended versions of normal & looptri update functions have been added:
- BM_mesh_calc_tessellation_ex
- BM_mesh_normals_update_ex
Most callers don't need to be aware of this detail by using:
- BKE_editmesh_looptri_and_normals_calc
- BKE_editmesh_looptri_and_normals_calc_with_partial
- EDBM_update also takes advantage of this,
where calling EDBM_update with calc_looptri & calc_normals
enabled uses the faster normal updating logic.
Rename function EDBM_update_generic to EDBM_update, use a parameters
argument for better readability.
Also add calc_normals argument, which will have benefits when
calculating normals and tessellation together is optimized.
Note: Linking in this case as in link vs. append. Easily confused with linking
a data-block to multiple usages (e.g. single material used by multiple
objects).
Adds a drop-down to the Asset Browser header to choose between Link and Append.
This is probably gonna be a temporary place, T54642 shows where this could be
placed eventually.
Linking support is crucial for usage of the asset browser in production
environments. It just wasn't enabled yet because a) the asset project currently
focuses on single user, not production assets, and b) because there were many
unkowns still for the workflow that have big impact on production use as well.
With the recently held asset workshop I'm more confident with enabling linking,
as design ideas relevant to production use were confirmed.

During the animation playback performance there was a solution for this

In some cases functions were defined with arguments of different array
lengths in headers vs. implementations. This commit fixes some of the
cases I ran into, but probably not all of them.
Add a keying set that includes location, rotation, scale, and custom
properties.
The keying set is intentionally not based on the "Whole Character"
keying set. Instead, it is generic enough to be used in both object and
pose animation, making it possible to quickly switch between animating
characters and props without switching keying sets.
This is, according to @rikkert, what the Blender Studio animators need
99.9% of the time.
Increase range of internal flags & order UI_SEARCH_FILTER_NO_MATCH
within this range, so public button flags aren't accidentally added
that overlap with internal flags.
The problem is that each uiBlock needs to be assigned a unique name,
but when there can be multiple modifiers of the same type, we use the
panel sort order for the unique part of the string. However, the most
recent test file has 1200+ panels in the property editor, so 4
characters isn't enough for a unique string.
That's not a situation I expected, but it makes sense, because we don't
remove legacy panels with unused types when loading old files. So they
tend to accumulate a bunch of unused panels. That's why this works fine
with a new property editor, it doesn't all of the extra old panels.
These panels must be stored for the expansion status and order, but
arguably we could cull unused panels on save. However, simply increasing
the length of the unique panel string is a valid fix in this situation.
In the future, we can look into removing unused panels when saving.
This introduces a context path to the spreadsheet editor, which contains
information about what data is shown in the spreadsheet. The context
path (breadcrumbs) can reference a specific node in a node group
hierarchy. During object evaluation, the geometry nodes modifier checks
what data is currently requested by visible spreadsheets and stores
the corresponding geometry sets separately for later access.
The context path can be updated by the user explicitely, by clicking
on the new icon in the header of nodes. Under some circumstances,
the context path is updated automatically based on Blender's context.
This patch also consolidates the "Node" and "Final" object evaluation
mode to just "Evaluated". Based on the current context path, either
the final geometry set of an object will be displayed, or the data at
a specific node.
The new preview icon in geometry nodes now behaves more like
a toggle. It can be clicked again to clear the context path in an
open spreadsheet editor.
Previously, only an object could be pinned in the spreadsheet editor.
Now it is possible to pin the entire context path. That allows two
different spreadsheets to display geometry data from two different
nodes.
The breadcrumbs in the spreadsheet header can be collapsed by
clicking on the arrow icons. It's not ideal but works well for now.
This might be changed again, if we get a data set region on the left.

This patch adds domain and data type information to each row of the
attribute search menu. The data type is displayed on the right, just
like how the list is exposed for the existing point cloud and hair
attribute panels. The domain is exposed on the left like the menu
hierarchy from menu search.
For the implementation, the attribute hint information is stored as a
set instead of a multi-value map so that every item (which we need to
point to descretely in the search process) contains the necessary data
type and domain information by itself. We also need to allocate a new
struct for every button, which requires a change to allow passing a
newly allocated argument to search buttons.
Note that the search does't yet handle the case where there are two
attributes with the same name but different domains or data types in
the input geometry set. That will be handled as a separate improvement.

Pass `bContext *C` a bit further down the call stack, to prevent

This adds the ability to get a selection list for both edit mode bones
and pose mode bones.
To do this the selection menu list logic had to be reworked a bit.
Before it only stored the names of objects. This might work will of
objects, however as stated in the code, it might fail for linked objects
(so multiple object can have the same name in some corner cases).
For bones it is a very common occurance where you can have multiple
armature that has the same bone names. So now it also stores the object
and bone pointers for this case.

- Don't use `r_` prefix for an argument that's also read from

- Rename variables to make it clear the distance is pixels,

Regression in 80cbbd2843.
Unfortunately keeping selection picking behavior as well as
supporting finding the nearest face within a radius requires an
inconsistency between x-ray and back-buffer selection that
doesn't work well using the current arguments.
Resolve by adding an argument that causes the input distance
to be ignored for back-buffer selection.
This is used by selection picking but not the knife tool.
This changes behavior for path-selection in face mode,
which now uses a margin for back-buffer selection.
From my own testing this doesn't seem to be a problem like it could be
for regular selection picking.
Now `ED_view3d_backbuf_depth_validate`, `ED_view3d_draw_depth` and
`ED_view3d_draw_depth_gpencil` are unified in `ED_view3d_depth_override`.
This new function replaces `ED_view3d_autodist_init`.
Also, since `ED_view3d_depth_update` depends on the render context, and
changing the context is a slow operation, that function also was removed,
and the depth buffer cached is now updated inside the new unified drawing
function when the "bool update_cache" parameter is true.
Finally `V3D_INVALID_BACKBUF` flag has been renamed and moved to
`runtime.flag`.
