This patch attempts to clean up and document the GPU buffers
code. There are a few bug fixes as well.
Patch reviewed here: http://codereview.appspot.com/4631052/
Summary:
* Bugfix: make GPU_buffer_copy_normal convert from shorts to floats
correctly, also fixed the use of cached face normal CustomData.
* Bugfix: changed the `mat_nr' field of GPUBufferMaterial from char to
short.
* Changed color buffer setup to not alloc a temporary copy of color
data, just passes the MCol data in directly.
* Changed the GPU buffer pool code to make clearer what operates
specifically on the global pool.
* Lots of refactoring for GPU_drawobject_new; should operate mostly
the same (except got rid of one unecessary allocation), just split
into more functions and without macros now.
* Converted some #defines into enumerations.
* Made some stuff private, pulled out of header file.
* Deleted unused function GPU_buffer_pool_free_unused().
* Removed GPU_interleaved_setup and related #defines. (I think this
was used for editmode VBOs, but those were disabled.)
* Added lots of comments.
* Added a few comments in the code signed `--nicholas' to note places
where I am unsure about design or usage, would be good to address
these better.
* Code formatting changed to be more consistent with the rest of
Blender.
* Renamed some fields and variables to be more consistent with
Blender's naming conventions.
* Renamed some fields and variables to use more descriptive names,
e.g. renamed `redir' to `mat_orig_to_new'.
* Removed print outs with DEBUG_VBO -- don't feel too strongly about
this one, just not used elsewhere in Blender, could be easily added
back if others disagree though.
* Moved the PBVH drawing code down to the bottom of the file, before
was sitting in the middle of the other VBO code

This patch adds an option to export only the selection.
On clicking in a non-active Blender window (when you activated others),
the mouse position of the first click was still the old position.
Problem is in GHOST; it sends out the 'activate window' event after the
mouseclick event itself. Code now checks for this case and reads the
correct mouse position.
Thumbnail save for .blend crashed, when being in editmode for a mesh
that has other object users as well. Derivedmesh confusement...
Thanks to Sergey for finding the cause!
Python:
* adds bpy.app.handlers which contains lists, each for an event type:
render_pre, render_post, load_pre, load_post, save_pre, save_post
* each list item needs to be a callable object which takes 1 argument (the ID).
* callbacks are cleared on file load.
Example:
def MyFunc(scene): print("Callback:", data)
bpy.app.handlers.render_post.append(MyFunc)
C:
* This patch adds a generic C callback api which is currently only used by python.
* Unlike python callbacks these are not cleared on file load.
This patch adds anisotropic filtering of textures in the viewport and the BGE. The quality of the filtering is adjustable in the user preferences under System. For more information on anisotropic filtering:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_filtering
One current limitation of this setup (having the option a user preference) is it makes runtimes more troublesome. Runtimes don't have user preferences set, so for now the blender player defaults to 2x AF. Options will be added later to change this value (probably a command line option).
added 'INTERNAL' operator flag so operators which are only meant to be called by other operators or internal use are not displayed to the user.
Currently only use this flag for the operator search toolbox, is ignored in debug mode.
- fix: user pref, window title was reset to 'Blender' on tab usage
- Undo history menu back:
- name "Undo History"
- hotkey alt+ctrl+z (alt+apple+z for mac)
- works like 2.4x, only for global undo, editmode and particle edit.
- Menu scroll
- for small windows or screens, popup menus now allow to display
all items, using internal scrolling
- works with a timer, scrolling 10 items per second when mouse
is over the top or bottom arrow
- if menu is too big to display, it now draws to top or bottom,
based on largest available space.
- also works for hotkey driven pop up menus.
- User pref "DPI" follows widget/layout size
- widgets & headers now become bigger and smaller, to match
'dpi' font sizes. Works well to match UI to monitor size.
- note that icons can get fuzzy, we need better mipmaps for it
