Small area/space api fix: space->new() callbacks now require
Context pointer. Too many cases you want to initialize stuff...
Also: added dummy draw function for NLA channel region, was
too ugly.
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
* Re-exposed relevant parts of anim_keyframing.c code that doesn't have external dependencies.
* Added get_active_posechannel() to blenkernel api for poses/posechannels to solve the only missing link I found. This should have been moved there ages ago!
- removed context usage, should not be in this module
- remove G.main usage, now is passed along
- still some globals in use here, goal is to get rid of those too,
so that it's possible to load/save blendfiles without having to
think about some global state.
Merged 'backend' changes from AnimSys2. Many of these changes are necessary for the Dopesheet and other changes I'm currently still stabilising. Those will come in due course.
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.

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.

Mouse cursors now work again
- centralized screen-level cursor changes, no more operator
running for it.
- spacetypes have callback to check/set individual cursor
types. Use notifier SCREEN_CHANGED to make sure it works
on mode changes etc.
- new calls WM_cursor_modal() and WM_cursor_restore() to
make temporarily cursor types during modes.
- used above for view2d cursors.
that is not supposed to be in the editor but at blenkernel level
to avoid bad level calls. Added sequencer free and strip iterator
functions there and used them to make sequencer data load/save
work again.
Fix for crash on joining (previously splitted) areas.
Reason was the stored regions in pushed 'spaces' not being copied.
next: free running handlers on area join/split.
Fixed more crashers in screen/region/area/spacetype freeing code...
Hint to Ton: watch how you're getting the pointer to the next item in the list when freeing the list ;)
Today's progress; half working, but i better commit to prevent
conflicts tomorrow :)
- added storage for regions in spacedata
- added space switching (unfinished, gives mem-free errors)
- bugfix: icon of timewindow gave error on split-area
- cleaned interface_icons.c a bit, no warnings
- first work on space new() callbacks, they have to make regions too
NOTE: probably files saved with 2.5 crash now. Have to look at
patching this.
NOTE2: the Makefiles required libeditor screen twice... scons too?
Cleanup in area/region management
- more intelligence in area management for adding handlers and setting
data correct. Space/Region type callbacks only have to do own things.
- added option for adding default handlers to areas/regions. (flag in
type definition)
- ensured that region-types store the minsizes for regions.
- added boundbox check for handlers; note that it accepts pointer to
boundbox, because handlers don't get reset on area-resizing or
view changes. Example: view2d handlers use mask rect.
- handlers get now added on correct context levels (example frame change
also worked in header)
- removed ->refresh() callback. Context refreshing is Listener.
- the ->init() is being called on all WM level actions, also after a
file read, moving areas, re-opening areas etc.
- fixed bug: crash on exit was caused by cleaning up Screen too late.
- UI_view2d_size_update() removed from draw callback, is init()
- regions now store (winx, winy) subwindow size.
Part one of wrapping up area/region management.
Read design doc here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/AreaManager
This commit:
- brings keymap storage to WM, based on names/types. This structure
allows rna-ifying it too, so you can browse keymaps etc.
- creating areas and regions works slightly different now, wich
regiontypes stored in areatype.
Todo:
- better callbacks and structure for defining which handlers need to
be added.
- using region types to validate regions
- proper implementation of local region data
- code method for customizing keymaps. Current idea is that you have
to indicate an entire keymap to be custom, to prevent too complicated
merging problems of default and custom maps (like order, multiple keys
for same operator, disabling options, etc).
* Changes in interface/ module
This commit brings back the way how buttons/menus work under control
of WM event system. The previous implementation extended usage of
handlers and operators in an interesting but confusing way. Better to
try it first according the design specs. :)
Most obviously:
- modal-handler operators are not stored anymore in regions/areas/windows.
such modal handlers own their operator, and should remove it themselves.
- removed code to move handlers from one queue to another.
(needs review with brecht!)
- WM fix: the API call to remove a modal handler got removed. This was a
dangerous thing anyway, and you should leave that to the event system.
Now, if a handler modal() call gets a cancel/finish return, it frees
itself in event system. WM_event_remove_modal_handler was a confusing
call anyway!
Todo:
- allow button-activate to refresh after using button
- re-enable arrow keys for menus
(do both after commit)
- review return values of operator callbacks in interface_ops.c
* Fixes in WM system
- Freeing areas/regions/windows, also on quit, now correctly closes
running modal handlers
- On starting a modal handler, the handler now stores previous area
and region context, so they send proper notifiers etc.
* Other fixes
- Area-split operator had bug, wrong minimal size checking. This
solves error when trying to split a very narrow area.
- removed DNA_USHORT_FIX from screen_types.h, gave warning
- operators didn't get ID name copied when activated, needed for
later re-use or saving.
* Added support for ID properties, mapped as follows:
* IDP Int = RNA Int
* IDP Float, Double = RNA Float
* IDP_String = RNA String
* IDP Group = RNA IDPropertyGroup Struct
* IDP_Array = RNA Array
* PropertyRNA and StructRNA are now defined private for the module,
to force external code to always use accessor functions.
svn merge https://svn.blender.org/svnroot/bf-blender/trunk/blender -r12987:17416
Issues:
* GHOST/X11 had conflicting changes. Some code was added in 2.5, which was
later added in trunk also, but reverted partially, specifically revision
16683. I have left out this reversion in the 2.5 branch since I think it is
needed there.
http://projects.blender.org/plugins/scmsvn/viewcvs.php?view=rev&root=bf-blender&revision=16683
* Scons had various conflicting changes, I decided to go with trunk version
for everything except priorities and some library renaming.
* In creator.c, there were various fixes and fixes for fixes related to the -w
-W and -p options. In 2.5 -w and -W is not coded yet, and -p is done
differently. Since this is changed so much, and I don't think those fixes
would be needed in 2.5, I've left them out.
* Also in creator.c: there was code for a python bugfix where the screen was not
initialized when running with -P. The code that initializes the screen there
I had to disable, that can't work in 2.5 anymore but left it commented as a
reminder.
Further I had to disable some new function calls. using src/ and python/, as
was done already in this branch, disabled function calls:
* bpath.c: error reporting
* BME_conversions.c: editmesh conversion functions.
* SHD_dynamic: disabled almost completely, there is no python/.
* KX_PythonInit.cpp and Ketsji/ build files: Mathutils is not there, disabled.
* text.c: clipboard copy call.
* object.c: OB_SUPPORT_MATERIAL.
* DerivedMesh.c and subsurf_ccg, stipple_quarttone.
Still to be done:
* Go over files and functions that were moved to a different location but could
still use changes that were done in trunk.
Robin (Frrr) Allen did a decent job on this, so we can also welcome him
as a member in the svn committers team to maintain it!
I do the first commit with some minor fixes:
- get Makefiles work
- fix rounding issue with tiles on unit faces
- removed UI includes from tex node
A nice doc in wiki is here:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/User:Frr/TexnodeManual
On the todo for Robin is:
- When using one or more Texture-input nodes, you cannot edit them by activating
(as works now for Material nodes).
- The new "output node" option fails on the default case, when only one
output node is active. It then shows often a blank menu. Will get fixed asap.
- When using a NodeTree-Texture as input node, the menu for 'active output'
should not show. NodeTree should ignore other nodetrees to keep things sane
for now.
- On a future todo is proper usage of "Dxt" and "Dyt" texture vectors for
superior antialising of checkers/bricks.
General note; I know people are dying to get a full integrated shader system
with nodes. In theory we could merge this with Material Nodetrees... but I
rather wait for a solid and very well thought out design proposal for this,
also including design ideas for unifying with a shader language (GPU, CPU).
For the time being this is a nice extension of current textures. :)
* Added functions to generate Timer events. There was some unfinished code to
create one timer per window, this replaces that with a way to let operators
or other handlers add/remove their own timers as needed. This is currently
delivered as an event with the timer handle, perhaps this should be a notifier
instead? Also includes some fixes in ghost for timer events that were not
delivered in time, due to passing negative timeout.
* Added a Message event, which is a generic event that can be added by any
operator. This is used in the UI code to communicate the results of opened
blocks. Again, this may be better as a notifier.
* These two events should not be blocked as they are intended for a specific
operator or handler, so there were exceptions added for this, which is one
of the reasons they might work better as notifiers, but currently these
things can't listen to notifier yet.
* Added an option to events to indicate if the customdata should be freed or
not.
* Added a free() callback for area regions, and added a free function for
area regions in blenkernel since it was already there for screens and areas.
* Added ED_screen/area/region_exit functions to clean up things like operators
and handlers when they are closed.
* Added screen level regions, these will draw over areas boundaries, with the
last created region on top. These are useful for tooltips, menus, etc, and
are not saved to file. It's using the same ARegion struct as areas to avoid
code duplication, but perhaps that should be renamed then. Note that redraws
currently go correct, because only full window redraws are used, for partial
redraws without any frontbuffer drawing, the window manager needs to get
support for compositing subwindows.
* Minor changes in the subwindow code to retrieve the matrix, and moved
setlinestyle to glutil.c.
* Reversed argument order in WM_event_add/remove_keymap_handler to be consistent
with modal_handler.
* Operators can now block events but not necessarily cancel/finish.
* Modal operators are now stored in a list in the window/area/region they were
created in. This means for example that when a transform operator is invoked
from a region but registers a handler at the window level (since mouse motion
across areas should work), it will still get removed when the region is closed
while the operator is running.
* When making a proxy, the lib linked IPO driver was also changed to
point to the proxy object, and after undo this local proxy object
was replaced so the pointer became invalid. In fact it is not needed
at all to change this because the IPO code maps the pointer to the
local proxy object already.
* Undoing the make proxy operation would crash because the proxy_from
pointer in the library linked object would still point to the removed
object. Now it clears all these pointers before undo, because on each
undo memory file read they will be set again anyway.
