internal viewport rendering. Lots of tweaks here, mainly:
* Stop 3D viewport render and free database before undo.
* Accumulate update flags rather than replace them each time it rerenders, to
avoid previous updates getting lost.
* Don't check against Render struct view parameters for changes, those are set
in the job thread which might not run before the next update call.
keys in menus (or tooltips) for properties they are used to toggle/cycle through
Some properties can be toggled using hotkeys via WM_OT_context_* operators, but
these hotkeys aren't really shown anywhere obvious like other hotkeys (i.e.
they're not shown in tooltips or menus). Although it is possible to look these
up in the userprefs/keymaps editor, it is quite tricky doing so, and most users
would just assume that since no shortcut is displayed, there simply isn't one at
all.
This commit introduces a slightly hacky fix which basically amounts to checking
if a property can be set by any of the few operators which are used for this
purpose. In order to keep this from being too sluggish, I've currently limited
this to only working on Editor (e.g. "Show Seconds" in Anim Editors) and
ToolSettings (e.g. "Use Proportional Edit") properties.
There are still some corner cases that would be nice to solve too (i.e. the
Pivot Type enum menu/dropdown should really be able to show the hotkeys which
have been assigned for each of those items, since they're by-and-large quite
hidden and obscure), though being able to show some of these is perhaps better
than not showing any!
move only the origin and not the bone. It doesn't need to use any object
matrices to add the bone, the only reason this worked before is because they
were still unit matrices due to depsgraph not running immediately on add.
Issue goes back since we stopped using LISTROW button to draw item's name (i.e. since we have custom buttons in list items!).
This commit:
* Adds a new flag to uiBlock, UI_BLOCK_LIST_ITEM, to mark blocks used for each list item.
* Adds a new button type, LISTLABEL, which basically behaves exactly as LABEL, but uses wcol_list_item color set.
* When uiItemL is called, it checks whether current block has UI_BLOCK_LIST_ITEM set, and if so, switch produced button to LISTLABEL type.
* Adds a new helper func, ui_layout_list_set_labels_active, called after the active list item has been "drawn", to set all LISTLABEL buttons as UI_SELECT.
Note custom widget_state_label() was removed, in interface_widgets.c, as it did nothing more than default widget_state().
Thanks to Brecht for the review and advices.
Btw, there is a comment stating that bits 12-15 are the same for uiBlock->flag and uiBut->flag, this is obviously no more true currently (maybe it is now bits 14-17, i.e. ALIGN flags?).
Forward enum declaration is a bad idea, especially for C++ which requires
enum specification to dteermine which data type to use to store it.
Alternative would be to not use enum as an arument and pass it as int,
but actually would rather be strict on typing -- using explicit enum
as parameter type helps understanding the code and prevents possible
mistakes when using the function.
node materials.
Area and region listener callbacks now get the screen and area pointers passed, so
they can do more fine grained checks to see if redraw is really needed, for example
depending on the 3D view drawtype.
Adding only the .svg file, the PNG can make once the multiview branch is merged.
I wanted to commit this to avoid having conflicts in the .svg file if
someone works on new icons too.
The new icon is at X-23
* CHARTAB: not needed anymore with improved copy/paste support and text input.
* IDPOIN: replaced by SEARCH_MENU.
* ICONROW/ICONTEXTROW: replaced by RNA enums.
* NUMABS: can use min/max limits instead.
* BUT_TOGDUAL, TOG3, TOGR, SLI: not used in 2.5 interface.
- give feedback on how many mirror verts succeed/fail (for select mirror, shape key mirror, weight mirror)
... when a mirror failed it was confusing and not obvious what was going on.
- slight change to select mirror, now center vertices will remain selected.
- speedup to EDBM_verts_mirror_cache_begin, cache customdata layer offset.
were no properly updating when rendering animations.
The render engine was only updating the image user current frame on images used
by material textures. Now moved the function that updates all from the editors
to blenkernel level and do it on all frame changes.
So now, in the new "other" tex context, you can (depending on active data) have direct access to modifiers', force's or brushes' textures...
I also refactored a bit how texture contexts are handled (once again, we had some quite similar code in both space_buttons and RNA sources). This should also solve some harmless glitches like "no texture context selected in UI" sometimes when you remove data related to current texture (see e.g. after removing the material from default cube, in startup scene).
This usage of two different systems for textures, and the handling of switches between them, has been a bit tricky to get working right, but it is OK now I think. I also had to add a bool flag to buttons space, SB_TEX_USER_LIMITED (use_limited_texture_context in RNA), which indicates "new shading" texture code whether it has to ignore materials, lamps etc. (BI) or not (Cycles).
Btw, pinned textures from modifiers/force/etc. were also broken (showing nothing), now it should work too.
Thanks to Brecht for reviewing.
Partial redraw doesn't work so well with these, now I've changed the action
zones to just draw as part of regions instead of as a special overdraw done
at the end, which fits better with partial redraw by avoiding any special
exceptions.
Actually more a feature request... Now create orientations operator has an additional option, use_view, when this one is enabled it will use current view instead of active object to create the new space.
Also made some cleanup (made some funcs static).
Fix turned out to remove as much "manual UI" from 3D view header as possible. Mode selector and all transform manipulators/orientations stuff are now RNA-based UI (leaving basically only edit mesh select modes with custom handlers, as they have some quite specific features).
To achieve this, four main modifications were done:
* enum-operator-generated menus are now MENU (i.e. dropdown lists) in headers too.
* All bit-flag enums expanded in ROW buttons now have a handling consistent with e.g. layers, or what we already have for transform manipulators, i.e. clicking select only one element, shift-click to select multiple ones.
* Consequently, the three RNA booleans manipulators flags are merged into a single bit-flag enum (yes, this is also an API change, though I doubt many scripts use it).
* Now the width of enum-based dropdown lists is computed from longest item name in enum, no more from a dummy place holder string (when no label/name is given).
All this allows to remove some code from 3DView/transform areas, that was actually mostly duplicating RNA/operator one.
Also done a few optimizations here and there (among others, do not pass &numitems to RNA_property_enum_items() when you do not need it, saves at least an iteration over enum items to count them).
Many thanks to Brecht for the reviews!
