too crowded.
UVs in the same layer can be used for many images. It used to be
possible to filter UV faces based on the image, but this is impossible
now due to the way the system works, so I added an option to allow
filtering UVs based on active material index.
Rationale on using option and not being smart here (options are bad tm)
is that for some workflows, such as preserving image space by using the
same image for many materials, people might want to turn this off.
amount and crashes after Cycles render.
This is a hack to fix this, but at this point the system is hopelessly
broken anyway and no good fix other than total rewriting is possible.
Operators that trigger UI events (but nothing else)
were using 'CANCELLED' making it impossible to tell if an invoke
function failed, or opened a menu.
This adds a theme option for the embossing of UI widgets. By doing this users have much greater flexibility for creating nice themes. Previously many themes (particularly dark ones) looked quite bad due to the very obvious emboss. This made simpler, flat-style themes very challenging.

Features:
* Both still image and animation rendering, as well as polygon
fills are supported.
* The exporter creates a new SVG layer for every Freestyle line
set. The different layers are correctly sorted.
* SVG paths use data from line styles, so the base color of a
line style becomes the color of paths, idem for dashes and
stroke thickness.
* Strokes can be split at invisible parts. This functionality is
useful when exporting for instance dashed lines or line styles
with a Blue Print shader
* The exporter can be used not only in the Parameter Editor mode,
but also from within style modules written for the Python
Scripting mode.

Old behavior of shuffling the meta made it hard to use metas
in a complex edit since you couldn't be sure if exiting a meta would move it in the stack.
Organize Maximize/Fullscreen mess and add a new fullscreen mode with no UI
* Maximize Editor: (old Ctrl+Up)
* Full Screen Window: (old Alt + F11)
* Full Screen Editor: new operator (Alt + F10)
* Change Show/Hide Header: (Alt + F9)
When the mode is on moving the mouse near the top right corner of the
editor shows an icon to go back to the normal editor mode.
This was originally intended for the multiview branch, but this
functionality also benefits non-stereo workflows, thus it can be
reviewed and committed independently.
Development notes:
* This includes cleanups in the code to sanitize the naming of
fullscreen/maximize across the window/editor code.
* Originally the idea was to make the window fullscreen as well, but
this idea was dropped.
* You can see the clicking area when debug is 1
* Technically the user can be left with an unfaded icon in the corner
(specially when using a tablet). If we think this is too bad we can
increase the action zone to be the whole screen, or something similar.

Currently the volume variation feature in stretch constraints is
unlimited. This has to be compensated by riggers by adding scale limit
constraints, but these are unaware of the stretch orientation and can
lead to flipping. Also the stretch calculation itself is not working
properly and can lead to collapsing volume.
The patch fixes this with several modifications:
- Interpret the volume variation factor as exponent, which works better
with large values for artistic purposes.
- Add integrated limits to the volume "bulge" factor, so secondary
constraints for compensation become unnecessary
- Add a smoothness factor to make limits less visible.
Eventually a generic volume preservation constraint would be nicer,
because multiple constraints currently implement volume variation of
their own. This feature could actually work very nicely independent from
other constraint features.

The reported issue was caused by a backward incompatibility due to careless
code changes made when per-material Freestyle line colors were introduced
in rB7915d7277ac8c605f016f30f943080556244fb59. In 2.71 line style
Material color/alpha/thickness modifiers was retrieving alpha transparency
from Material.alpha, whereas in 2.72 Material.line_color[3] was referenced.
The present fix reverts the aforementioned code changes.
This issue is a regression from 2.71, so the fix is appropriate for inclusion in
the 2.72a release.
This commit adds a confirm threshold property to pie menus.
Basically, this will confirm the pie menu automatically when
the distance from the center of the pie exceeds that threshold without
a need to release the pie button.
The confirm threshold will only work if it is larger than the pie
threshold.
The confirmation actually occur when the mouse stops moving, to
allow multiple pie menus to be better linked together, (see below)
This functionality also facilitates the ability for chained pie menus by
dragging. Basically, a pie menu item can be a call_menu_pie operator and
the new pie menu will still use the original pie menu release event for
confirmation. This should allow for quick, gesture based navigation in
pie menu hierarchies (going back in the hierarchy is still not supported
though)
There will be a demonstration pie in the official add-on soon
Basically the title tells it all, quite straightforward implementation.
The only thing is the image.render_slot which used to represent the active
render slot index is now moved to image.render_slots.active_index.

Do not generate materials/images/UVs if they are missing.
Now we spawn a panel ("Missing Data") with operators to generate the missing data and
pop a warning if user tries to paint without them.
The reason we have reverted this is that it is too easy to end up with more textures
than we wanted. It was impossible to enter texture paint without having textures added,
and code makes too many assumptions about what user may want.
Discussed during Sunday's meeting.
This might be a candidate for 2.72a but I'm not sure how other artists will take this
(and how refined and crash-free it is), better make a few iterations first.
And for interested parties...test please, don't wait until after a release to poke with such issues.
Also, add slot operator now adds a new unconnected image node in cycles. Only
used in the "Missing Data" panel. This should be a separate commit but I am squashing it into the same commit because
it relies too much on changes done here and can be reverted easily if complainstorm occurs again.
Currently only summed number of traversal steps and intersections used by the
camera ray intersection pass is implemented, but in the future we will support
more debug passes which would help checking what things makes the scene slow.
Example of such extra passes could be number of bounces, time spent on the
shader tree evaluation and so.
Implementation from the Cycles side is pretty much straightforward, could only
mention here that it's a build-time option disabled by default.
From the blender side it's implemented as a PASS_DEBUG with several subtypes
possible. This way we don't need to create an extra DNA pass type for each of
the debug passes, saving us a bits.

The issue was caused by the fact that we never used to store the
generated image color in DNA, so image reload will loose this
information.
Now we store the color in DNA, making ti so re-loading the image
will preserve it's generated color.
It is now also possible to change generated image color using the
color swatch in image properties after the image was created.
New render layer option named "View map cache" is added to reuse a
previously computed view map for subsequent rendering. The cache is
automatically updated when the mesh geometry of the input 3D scene has
been changed.
This functionality offers a major performance boost for Freestyle
animation rendering when camera-space mesh geometry is static, as well
as for repeated still renders with updates of line stylization options.
Although the "View map cache" toggle is a render layer option, the cache
memory is shared by all render layers and scenes. This means that if
Freestyle is used for two or more render layers (possibly in different
scenes through the compositor), then the cached view map for one render
layer is replaced by a new view map for another render layer and hence
no performance gain is expected.
The following two sort keys are added for sorting chains.
* Projected X - Sort by the projected X value in the image coordinate system.
* Projected Y - Sort by the projected Y value in the image coordinate system.
A new line style option for the selection of first N chains is also added.
Moreover, the chain sorting and chain selection operations are now executed
in this order instead of the reverse order used previously. The UI has also
changed accordingly. This functional change is backward compatible and
won't result in visual differences.
On 4k devices the default pixel size leads to tiny OpenGL drawing
that is hardly usable without doubling the DPI. The retina system
on OSX aims to alleviate this problem by introducing a general 2x
pixel size.
No equivalent feature exists on other platforms so far. However,
to emulate the effect this patch introduces a "virtual" pixel size
factor for OpenGL drawing.
Note that the user currently has to enable this manually by selecting
the "Virtual Pixel Mode" in the user preferences (defaults to native).
All windows of a Blender instance share the same virtual pixel size as well.
It may be possible to handle this on a per-window basis and automate
the selection somewhat (if enabled by the user), so working with
multiple screens becomes more convenient, but technical limitations
make this a bit difficult (on X11 with nvidia drivers the actual screen size
is not reported correctly).

Include explicit control for texturing:
This commit introduces a painting mode option, available in
the slots panel. The default value "Material" will create slots from the
blender material, same as just merged from the paint branch.
The new option "Image", will use an explicit image field that artists can use
to select the image to paint on. This will should allow painting regardless
of the renderer used or for use in modifiers.
Added an extra option to `insert_bezt_fcurve()`, to allow full override of existing
keyframes when pasting (in this case, we do not want to inherit handles from existing
curve!).
Just have a default 'Misc' category (harmless for panels in non-cat context).
In case we would still want a panel to show in all tabs (rather unlikely),
just explicitely give an empty string to its bl_category property.
Note I choose 'Misc' because it's much shorter than 'Uncategorized' (space
is an issue here), it's a one-liner to change it anyway if UI Mafia does not like it!
Root of the issue goes to the fact that bevel list calculation might drop some points
if they're at the same position. This made spline length calculation goes wrong.
Now the length of the bevel segments is stored in the bevel list, so values are
always reliable.
Initial patch by Lukas Treyer with some tweaks from me.
This commit merges the code in the pie-menu branch.
As per decisions taken the last few days, there are no pie menus
included and there will be an official add-on including overrides of
some keys with pie menus. However, people will now be able to use the
new code in python.

Special Thanks to Sean Olson, for his support, suggestions, testing and
merciless bugging so that I would finish the pie menu code. Without him
we wouldn't be here. Also to the rest of the developers of the original
python add-on, Patrick Moore and Dan Eicher and finally to Matt Ebb, who
did the research and first implementation and whose code I used to get
started.
This allows adding a "fake" sun beam effect, simulating crepuscular rays
from light being scattered in a medium like the atmosphere or deep water.
Such effects can be created also by renderers using volumetric lighting,
but the compositor feature is a lot cheaper and is independent from 3D
rendering. This makes it ideally suited for motion graphics.
The implementation uses am optimized accumulation method for gathering
color values along a line segment. The inner buffer loop uses fixed
offset increments to avoid unnecessary multiplications and avoids
variables by using compile-time specialization (see inline comments
for further details).
