Also remove doxy comments for licenses and add missing GPL header.
|

BF-admins agree to remove header information that isn't useful,
to reduce noise.
- BEGIN/END license blocks
Developers should add non license comments as separate comment blocks.
No need for separator text.
- Contributors
This is often invalid, outdated or misleading
especially when splitting files.
It's more useful to git-blame to find out who has developed the code.
See P901 for script to perform these edits.

Many parts of the compositor are unnecessarily complicated. This patch
aims at reducing the complexity of writing nodes and making the code
more transparent.
== Separating Nodes and Operations ==
Currently these are both mixed in the same graph, even though they have
very different purposes and are used at distinct stages in the
compositing process. The patch introduces dedicated graph classes for
nodes and for operations.
This removes the need for a lot of special case checks (isOperation etc.)
and explicit type casts. It simplifies the code since it becomes clear
at every stage what type of node we are dealing with. The compiler can
use static typing to avoid common bugs from mixing up these types and
fewer runtime sanity checks are needed.
== Simplified Node Conversion ==
Converting nodes to operations was previously based on "relinking", i.e.
nodes would start with by mirroring links in the Blender DNA node trees,
then add operations and redirect these links to them. This was very hard
to follow in many cases and required a lot of attention to avoid invalid
states.
Now there is a helper class called the NodeConverter, which is passed to
nodes and implements a much simpler API for this process. Nodes can add
operations and explicit connections as before, but defining "external"
links to the inputs/outputs of the original node now uses mapping
instead of directly modifying link data. Input data (node graph) and
result (operations graph) are cleanly separated.
== Removed Redundant Data Structures ==
A few redundant data structures have been removed, notably the
SocketConnection. These are only needed temporarily during graph
construction. For executing the compositor operations it is perfectly
sufficient to store only the direct input link pointers. A common
pointer indirection is avoided this way (which might also give a little
performance improvement).
== Avoid virtual recursive functions ==
Recursive virtual functions are evil. They are very hard to follow
during debugging. At least in the parts this patch is concerned with
these functions have been replaced by a non-virtual recursive core
function (which might then call virtual non-recursive functions if
needed). See for example NodeOperationBuilder::group_operations.

transformation.
This was suggested by Christopher Barrett (terrachild). Corner pin is a common feature in compositing.
The corners for the plane warping can be defined by using vector node inputs to allow using perspective plane transformations without having to go via the MovieClip editor tracking data.
Uses the same math as the PlaneTrack node, but without the link to MovieClip and Object.
{F78199}
The code for PlaneTrack operations has been restructured a bit to share it with the CornerPin node.
* PlaneDistortCommonOperation.h/.cpp: Shared generic code for warping images based on 4 plane corners and a perspective matrix generated from these. Contains operation base classes for both the WarpImage and Mask operations.
* PlaneTrackOperation.h/.cpp: Current plane track node operations, based on the common code above. These add pointers to MovieClip and Object which define the track data from wich to read the corners.
* PlaneCornerPinOperation.h/.cpp: New corner pin variant, using explicit input sockets for the plane corners.
One downside of the current compositor design is that there is no concept of invariables (constants) that don't vary over the image space. This has already been an issue for Blur nodes (size input is usually constant except when "variable size" is enabled) and a few others. For the corner pin node it is necessary that the corner input sockets are also invariant. They have to be evaluated for each tile now, otherwise the data is not available. This in turn makes it necessary to make the operation "complex" and request full input buffers, which adds unnecessary overhead.
