Area Manager: revised how an area subdivision gets managed. Originally
the 'spacedata' would store regiondata too, but this already became
impractical (like having view2d data in region is useful). So I left
that part how it is. See new diagram:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/AreaManager
This means that regions in an Area define location/size or constraints
for how they get arranged. The "RegionType" which is linked to this
defines its functionality.
For fun, test, and code validation: two temporary hotkeys added.
SKEY: splits current region horizontally
SHIFT+S: splits vertically
Note - in outliner - that "context" sticks to the Area as whole, the region
here only defines view. That's the purpose. :) For two outliners with different
context you open 2 areas.
Also note that dragging screen-edges shows the region-alignment type (split
with percentage).
* pixels with <= the current opacity are not painted onto, speeds up painting especially with low spacing. (only when airbrush is disabled)
* use qsort rather then own crufty sorting function
* grouped projection painting functions together.
#18045] [patch] A patch that exposes the rest of the motion functions of KX_GameObject to Python.
*applyForce => setForce
*applyTorque => setTorque
*applyRotation => setDRot
*applyMovement => setDLoc
This implement the option of playback an animation using the
step value in the render panel (or -a -j).
Tested here and work fine, about the ffmpeg/avi bug it's my
fault, I don't think in "step + video format", so now it's
in my todo-list :)
- Old feature request: now space handlers can report release events, too. For that a new space handler type was added, here's the header for it:
# SPACEHANDLER.VIEW3D.EVENT.ALL
These scripts report both "presses and releases". For release events, Blender.eventValue is zero and Blender.link == Blender.SpaceHandlers.VIEW3D_EVENT_RELEASE. Check the API_related bpy doc for more info.
- Bug fix: left mouse clicks could be reported twice.
Important: for both the feature and the fix, to make the code nicer and to let space handlers become available in more situations, I moved the check for space handlers in space.c. Now it happens before checks for grease pencil, sculpt and left/right mouse button swapping. If this causes any problem (it shouldn't), please report.
PS: Thanks to Steven Truppe, who asked for this and even sent me a patch, but to preserve compatibility with existing event space handler scripts I did things in a different way.
Part one of wrapping up area/region management.
Read design doc here:

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).
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.
* fixed more bugs in face clipping, clip_line wasnt working when the line was horiz/vertical. unning exactly on the clipping rectangle bounds.
* testing if a point was inside a triangle didnt work if the point was touching the triangles edge, added IsectPT2Df_limit(...) for this rather then using 3 point/line intersection checks.
...Cant find anymore bugs in face clipping now :)
* Fixed another face clipping bug (some artifacts still when using screen aligned faces)
* Removed Soften and Warp buttons on the panit panel since they are not used for projection painting
* added do_versions to initialize bleed and normal values
This commit *should* bring UI_view2d_status_enforce() (formerly known in pre 2.5 as test_view2d) under control again.
I've attempted to reduce the amount of duplicated code here, so hopefully there won't be any nasty bugs that will show up in some of the other views when they are ported.
Summary of changes:
* Restored V2D_KEEPZOOM flag which I had previously removed, having misunderstood its function.
* Fixed bugs with resizing Outliner window
* Outliner width is now columns + 1 again. Documented reasons for this (otherwise, stuff gets covered by scrollbars, but we cannot see it)
* fix from last commit, threaded memarena wasnt used currectly in one case. (crashing blender)
* add a remove doubles and point on line test to face poly clipping function (fixes some cases where buckets are aligned with faces)
* Cleaned up flags defined for View2D, and added some for defining the alignment of the view's data in the 'tot' rect (i.e. which quadrant(s) the view data is allowed to reside in).
* These flags are used in the new UI_view2d_totRect_set() function, which sets the new size of the 'tot' rect (i.e. the maximum viewable area). Currently, is only used for Outliner, but channel-lists also require this.
* Added API method to reset 'cur' (current viewing region) to 'default' viewing region - UI_view2d_curRect_reset(). Currently, 'keepzoom' is not respected. I'll check on whether this is needed when I recode UI_view2d_status_enforce(), which is badly in need of a cleanup.
The new class VideoTexture.ImageMirror() is available to perform
automatic mirror rendering.
Constructor:
VideoTexture.ImageMirror(scene,observer,mirror,material)
scene: reference to the scene that will be rendered.
Both observer and mirror must be part of that scene.
observer: reference to a game object used as view point for
mirror rendering: the scene will be rendered through
the mirror as if the active camera was at the observer
location. Usually the observer is the active camera
but you can use any game obejct.
mirror: reference to the mesh object holding the mirror.
material: material ID of the mirror texture as returned by
VideoTexture.materialID(). The mirror is formed by
the polygons mapped to that material.
There are no specific methods or attributes. ImageMirror inherits
all methods and attributes from ImageRender. You must refresh the
parent VideoTexture.Texture object regularly to update the mirror
rendering.
Guidelines on how to create a working mirror:
- Use a texture that is specific to the mirror so that the mirror
rendering only appears on the mirror.
- The mirror must be planar; the algorithm works well only for planar
or quasi planar mirror. For spherical mirror, you will get better
results with ImageRender and a camera at the center of the mirror.
ImageMirror automatically computes the mirror orientation and
position. The mirror doesn't need to be rectangular, it can be
circular or take any form provided it is planar.
- The mirror up direction must be along the Z axis in local mesh
coordinates. If the mirror is not vertical, ImageMirror will
compute the up direction as being the projection of the Z axis
on the mirror plane.
- UV mapping must be set right to get correct mirror rendering:
- make a planar projection of the mirror polygons (Unwrap or projection from view)
- eventually rotate the projection so that UV up direction corresponds to the mesh Z axis
- scale the projection so that the extreme points touch the border of the texture
- flip the UV projection horizontally (scale -1 on X axis). This is needed
because the mirror texture is rendered from the back of the mirror and
thus is reversed from the view point of the observer. Horizontal flip
in the UV map restores the correct orientation.
Besides these simple rules, the mirror rendering is completely automatic.
In particular, you don't need to allocate a camera for the rendering,
ImageMirror creates dynamically a camera for that. The reflection is correct
even on large angles. The mirror can be a dynamic and moving object, the
algorithm always computes the correct camera position based on observer
relative position. You don't have to worry about mirror position in the scene:
the algorithm automatically computes the camera frustum so that any object
behind the mirror is not rendered.
Warnings:
- observer and mirror are references to game objects. ImageMirror keeps
a pointer to them but does not increment the reference count. You must ensure
that these game objects are not deleted as long as you refresh() the ImageMirror
object. You must release the ImageMirror object before you delete the game
objects. To release the ImageMirror object (normally stored in GameLogic),
just assign it to None.
- Mirror rendering is automatically skipped when the observer is behind the mirror
but it is not disabled when the mirror is out of sight of the observer.
You should only refresh the mirror when you know that the observer is likely to see it.
For example, no need to refresh a car inner mirror when the player is not in the car.
Example:
contr = GameLogic.getCurrentController()
# object holding the mirror
mirror = contr.getOwner()
scene = GameLogic.getCurrentScene()
# observer will be the active camere
camera = scene.getObjectList()['OBCamera']
matID = VideoTexture.materialID(mirror, 'IMmirror.png')
GameLogic.mirror = VideoTexture.Texture(mirror, matID)
GameLogic.mirror.source = VideoTexture.ImageMirror(scene,camera,mirror,matID)
# to render the mirror, just call GameLogic.mirror.refresh(True) on each frame.

- Context in WM wasn't set for regions yet, done now. So repeat works on
per-region ops too.
- Debug print was printing the wrong repeated op.
(repeat-op could show menu naming the op to repeat)
* Added back vertical scale markings for vertical scrollbars. Currently untested (until IPO Editor can be put back in). Also, there was a special exception for the Sequencer, which will need to be checked when the time comes too.
* Fixed the display of frame numbers in scrollbars. Was caused by error in using an int, where a float was required (this is one place MSVC gives better warnings than GCC).
* Outliner horizontal scrollbar now displays a more useful range. The previous range was based on screen width, not width of content.
* Outliner horizontal scrollbar now draws with bevel-highlight line again. Was missed out in a previous commit.
* Added simple toggle Frames/Seconds operator to TimeLine to test if the View2D code is working right for this. This uses the same hotkey (TKEY) as it's counterpart (with a menu for input) did in previous incarnations of Blender.
Added back units on scrollbars for anim editors (i.e. Timeline). Vertical scrollbars have yet to be done, but there's no way to test yet.
Using markers and current frame indicator (and value) as guides, it is clear that there is still some inaccuracy with the drawing of the grid or the frames/markers are drawn wrong! Will investigate further.
