Was doing this with property get/set but this made view operations
require refreshing manipulator properties.
Simplify by operating on properties in their own space.
Also disable clamping for now since it assumes pixel-space.
Some users really liked previous behavior,
so making it an option.
Cursor Lock Adjustment can be disabled to give something close to
2.4x behavior of cursor locking.
When lock-adjustment is disabled placing the cursor the view.
This avoids the issue reported in T40353
where the cursor could get *lost*.
Note that some little parts of code have been dissabled because eval_ctx
was not available there. This should be resolved once DerivedMesh is
replaced.
This commit effectively makes workspace switching useless as far as the
active scene layer goes.
The functions from the scene layer API to get the correct scene layer
from "context" were a placeholder to be addressed by the workspace
commit.
When workspace was merged, however G.main was used as a replacement to pass the
correct argument for the functions. As it turned out (surprise!) this
leads to crash on render preview.
We need to get rid of:
* BKE_scene_layer_context_active_ex_PLACEHOLDER
* BKE_scene_layer_context_active_PLACEHOLDER
And either use SceneLayer explicitly or replace it by:
* BKE_scene_layer_from_workspace_get
Goal is to make them more modular, to allow more variants (variable
single-color, thickness, ...) to be added without having to
copy-and-change-one-line of whole chain of shaders.
This is a first step towards proper depsgraph "ownership", where
we would allow scene to be in multiple states dependent on active
workspace or scene layer.
This commit introduces a basic API to get proper dependency graph
for a given scene layer. It also renames scene->depsgraph to
depsgraph_legacy, so it's easier to search0-n-replace in the future.
Clearing of custom bones outline's line thickness was not done at proper
point, wireframe drawing never changes line thickness, only solid draw
with outline does...
Was doing O(n^2) list lookups with blender-render drawing & transform.
Also missing NULL checks would crash.
Use Object.base_flag (already used by new draw manager in places)
to avoid list lookup.
Note, transform still performs inefficient lookups,
but only for selected parents (like 2.7x), not all parents.
Naming was confusing, while technically correct -
the result is no scaling (manipulator ignores zoom-level).
Also remove 3D from name since this can be supported for 2D views too.
This makes manipulator access closer to operators,
and allows Python access.
This adds RNA for manipulators, but not Python registration yet.
- Split draw style into 2x settings:
`draw_style` (enum) & `draw_options` (enum-flag)
- Rename wmManipulator.properties -> properties_edit,
Use wmManipulator.properties for ID-properties.
Note that this area of the API will need further work since
manipulators now have 2 kinds of properties & API's to access them.
This makes it possible to select objects in the viewport.
Selection in edit mode is still tricky, mainly because currently such update
would require tagging batch as updated, which is not possible with using just
and original object because it will never have batch.
Possible solution here would be to introduce some "batch" or "render" component
to depsgraph ID node for objects, so we can tag batch for update via depsgraph
tagging API.
Instead use generic 'WM_manipulator_new', adding a new 'setup'
callback (like wmManipulatorGroup.setup) used to initialize type vars.
This moves conventions closer to wmOperator and simplifies exposing to
Python.
While this is work-in-progress from custom-manipulators branch
its stable so adding into 2.8 so we don't get too much out of sync.
- ManipulatorGroupType's are moved out of the manipulator-map and are now
global (like operators, panels etc) and added into spaces as needed.
Without this all operators that might ever use a manipulator in the 3D
view would be polling the viewport.
- Add optional get/set callbacks for non-RNA properties
Needed so re-usable manipulators can control values that
don't correspond to a single properly or need conversion.
- Fix divide by zero bug in arrow manipulator (when moving zero pixels).
Sync with custom-manipulators branch
- Use identifiers for properties.
- Property array index access.
- Remove operator from manipulators
(wasn't used and will likely add in a different way).
Use indirect access to it via object.
It was already flushing from base to object, now we can avoid such flushing.
Still weird to have selection color filled in by dependency graph, but now
there is no synchronization going on at least.
As with operators, the window-manager has the API for defining,
the editor can implement and register its own manipulators.
This exposes wmManipulator, keeping it opaque isn't
practical if editors and Python are to implement their own.
This commit does the main integration of workspaces, which is a design we agreed on during the 2.8 UI workshop (see https://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Dev:2.8/UI/Workshop_Writeup)
Workspaces should generally be stable, I'm not aware of any remaining bugs (or I've forgotten them :) ). If you find any, let me know!
(Exception: mode switching button might get out of sync with actual mode in some cases, would consider that a limitation/ToDo. Needs to be resolved at some point.)
== Main Changes/Features
* Introduces the new Workspaces as data-blocks.
* Allow storing a number of custom workspaces as part of the user configuration. Needs further work to allow adding and deleting individual workspaces.
* Bundle a default workspace configuration with Blender (current screen-layouts converted to workspaces).
* Pressing button to add a workspace spawns a menu to select between "Duplicate Current" and the workspaces from the user configuration. If no workspaces are stored in the user configuration, the default workspaces are listed instead.
* Store screen-layouts (`bScreen`) per workspace.
* Store an active screen-layout per workspace. Changing the workspace will enable this layout.
* Store active mode in workspace. Changing the workspace will also enter the mode of the new workspace. (Note that we still store the active mode in the object, moving this completely to workspaces is a separate project.)
* Store an active render layer per workspace.
* Moved mode switch from 3D View header to Info Editor header.
* Store active scene in window (not directly workspace related, but overlaps quite a bit).
* Removed 'Use Global Scene' User Preference option.
* Compatibility with old files - a new workspace is created for every screen-layout of old files. Old Blender versions should be able to read files saved with workspace support as well.
* Default .blend only contains one workspace ("General").
* Support appending workspaces.
Opening files without UI and commandline rendering should work fine.
Note that the UI is temporary! We plan to introduce a new global topbar
that contains the workspace options and tabs for switching workspaces.
== Technical Notes
* Workspaces are data-blocks.
* Adding and removing `bScreen`s should be done through `ED_workspace_layout` API now.
* A workspace can be active in multiple windows at the same time.
* The mode menu (which is now in the Info Editor header) doesn't display "Grease Pencil Edit" mode anymore since its availability depends on the active editor. Will be fixed by making Grease Pencil an own object type (as planned).
* The button to change the active workspace object mode may get out of sync with the mode of the active object. Will either be resolved by moving mode out of object data, or we'll disable workspace modes again (there's a `#define USE_WORKSPACE_MODE` for that).
* Screen-layouts (`bScreen`) are IDs and thus stored in a main list-base. Had to add a wrapper `WorkSpaceLayout` so we can store them in a list-base within workspaces, too. On the long run we could completely replace `bScreen` by workspace structs.
* `WorkSpace` types use some special compiler trickery to allow marking structs and struct members as private. BKE_workspace API should be used for accessing those.
* Added scene operators `SCENE_OT_`. Was previously done through screen operators.
== BPY API Changes
* Removed `Screen.scene`, added `Window.scene`
* Removed `UserPreferencesView.use_global_scene`
* Added `Context.workspace`, `Window.workspace` and `BlendData.workspaces`
* Added `bpy.types.WorkSpace` containing `screens`, `object_mode` and `render_layer`
* Added Screen.layout_name for the layout name that'll be displayed in the UI (may differ from internal name)
== What's left?
* There are a few open design questions (T50521). We should find the needed answers and implement them.
* Allow adding and removing individual workspaces from workspace configuration (needs UI design).
* Get the override system ready and support overrides per workspace.
* Support custom UI setups as part of workspaces (hidden panels, hidden buttons, customizable toolbars, etc).
* Allow enabling add-ons per workspace.
* Support custom workspace keymaps.
* Remove special exception for workspaces in linking code (so they're always appended, never linked). Depends on a few things, so best to solve later.
* Get the topbar done.
* Workspaces need a proper icon, current one is just a placeholder :)
