When rendering multi-view in side-by-side or top-bottom mode, we squash
the UI to half of its size and draw it twice on screen. That means the
cursor coordinates used for UI interaction don't match what's visible on
screen.
This commit is a little event system hack (tm) to fix this. It has some
small glitches with cursor grabbing, but nothing to bad.
We'll also use it for viewport HMD support.
D1350, thanks for the feedback @dfelinto!

This commit lands the core backend of the Custom Manipulators project onto the blender2.8 branch. It is a generic backend for managinig interactive on-screen controls that can be integrated into any 2D or 3D edito. It's also already integrated into the window-manager and editor code where needed.
NOTE: The changes here should not be visible for users at all. It's really just a back-end patch. Neither does this include any RNA or Python integration.
Of course, there's still lots of work ahead for custom manipulators, but this is a big milestone. WIP code that actually uses this backend can be found in the 'custom-manipulators' branch (previously called 'wiggly-widgets').
The work here isn't completely my own, all the initial work was done by @Antony Riakiotakis (psy-fi) and - although it has changed a lot since them - it's still the same in essence. He definitely deserves a big credit! Some changes in this patch were also done by @Campbell Barton (campbellbarton). Thank you guys!

Missing Bits
============
First rule of Multi-View bug report: If something is not working as it should *when Views is off* this is a severe bug, do mention this in the report.
Second rule is, if something works *when Views is off* but doesn't (or crashes) when *Views is on*, this is a important bug. Do mention this in the report.
Everything else is likely small todos, and may wait until we are sure none of the above is happening.
Apart from that there are those known issues:
* Compositor Image Node poorly working for Multi-View OpenEXR
(this was working prefectly before the 'Use Multi-View' functionality)
* Selecting camera from Multi-View when looking from camera is problematic
* Animation Playback (ctrl+F11) doesn't support stereo formats
* Wrong filepath when trying to play back animated scene
* Viewport Rendering doesn't support Multi-View
* Overscan Rendering
* Fullscreen display modes need to warn the user
* Object copy should be aware of views suffix

- rename 'name', 'dir' --> 'filepath' where these actually represent a file path to avoid confusion.
- bugfix for possible (but unlikely) uninitialized string.
- remove commented script append function, now we have a python api for this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
- made interface, windowmanager, readfile build without unused warnings.
- re-arranged CMake's source/blender build order so less changed libs are build later, eg: IK, avi
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don't limit lasso to 1024 points, just realloc array with increased size when current limit is reached.
Also silence two stupid warnings.
|
|
What works:
The usual command line options for rendering.
All python scripts are loaded (which includes custom properties)
Render engines are loaded and can be used
-P to run scripts works partially: rna api works ok, not operators.
What doesn't:
Most operator calls in python. This is a problem with poll functions. (Brecht and Campbell are aware of this already)
Changes:
-d now also applied with -b (it was ignored before)
user file (.B25.blend) now also loaded in bg mode. This helps for custom paths and all.
wm is also initialized (it's needed for a lot of context calls)
Ghost, however, is not initialized.
|
|
- now works exactly like 2.4x, except that its accessed from the CKey
- hack to remember circle size, need some better way to do this
|
|
Auto save is now working again in 2.5. It will also remember now what
the location of the original file was when recovering it, so that
library links still work and saving the restored file does not save to
the temp directory. There is also a new Recover Auto Save operator
which will open the filebrowser in the temp directory and show the
auto saved .blends.
Implemenation Notes:
* Timer storage was moved from window to windowmanager, so we can have
windowmanager level timers too now, doesn't make sense to have
autosave timer attached to a particular window.
* FileGlobal now has a filename field storing where the file was saved.
Note that this is only used when loading a file through the recover
operators, regular file read doesn't use it, so copying the quit.blend
manually over the original file will still work as expected.
* Jobs timer no longer uses operator now, this seems more like an
internal thing, changing keymaps should not make it possible to break
the jobs manager.
* Autosave is postponed by 10 seconds when a modal operator is running,
e.g. transform or file browsing.
* Moved setting G.sce in setup_app_data before depsgraph updates, these
can use the filename for pointcaches.
|
|
Keymaps are now saveable and configurable from the user preferences, note
that editing one item in a keymap means the whole keymap is now defined by
the user and will not be updated by Blender, an option for syncing might be
added later. The outliner interface is still there, but I will probably
remove it.
There's actually 3 levels now:
* Default builtin key configuration.
* Key configuration loaded from .py file, for configs like Blender 2.4x
or other 3D applications.
* Keymaps edited by the user and saved in .B.blend. These can be saved
to .py files as well to make creating distributable configurations
easier.
Also, user preferences sections were reorganized a bit, now there is:
Interface, Editing, Input, Files and System.
Implementation notes:
* wmKeyConfig was added which represents a key configuration containing
keymaps.
* wmKeymapItem was renamed to wmKeyMapItem for consistency with wmKeyMap.
* Modal maps are not wrapped yet.
* User preferences DNA file reading did not support newdataadr() yet,
added this now for reading keymaps.
* Key configuration related settings are now RNA wrapped.
* is_property_set and is_property_hidden python methods were added.

New feature: allowing to open temporarily windows for output.
Implemented for:
- Render output (use output menu "new window" option).
- User Preferences (alt+U, plus added in 'File' menu)
Currently the window opens where your mouse is. The Render window
works as usual, with ESC or F11 moving it to back or front again.
That allows the window position to remain where you moved it on
new renders.
If you close a render window when it renders, the render thread
will be killed.
User prefs show 'info window' now... i thought we'd use outliner?
Anyhoo, I've made the 'save settings' to close the 2nd window as
well.
Opening a secondary file window for save I'll check on later,
this has to be checked with the current event system still.
the WM_window_open_temp() api call for this maintains currently
a *single* temp window. If you have a render window open, and call
for the preferences, the render window will be used for it. And
the other way around.
On closing the blender window, the temp windows close automatically
when there's no regular window open, and blender quits.

* interactive console python console.
* display reports and filter types. defaults to operator display so you can see the python commands for tools as you use them,
eventually it should be possible to select commands and make macto/tools from them.
Example use of autocomp. b<tab>, bpy.<tab>, bpy.<tab>, bpy.data.<tab> etc.
basic instructions are printed when opening the console.
Details...
* Console exec and autocomp are done with operators written in python.
* added CTX_wm_reports() to get the global report list.
* The window manager had a report ListBase but reports have their own struct, switched to allocate and assign when initializing the WM since the type is not available in DNA.
* changed report types flags for easier display filtering.
* added report type RPT_OPERATOR
* logging operators also adds a python-syntax report into CTX_wm_reports() so they can be displayed in the console as well as calling a notifier for console to redraw.
* RnaAPI context.area.tag_redraw() to redraw the current area from a python operator.
Todo...
* better interactions with the console, scrolling, copy/paste.
* the text displayed doesnt load back.
* colors need to be themed.
* scroll limit needs to be a user pref.
* only tested with cmake and scons.

Simplified and started from a clean slate, without much of
the hidden existing space data that was hanging around
in the old one.
One issue I found is that saving the startup file from
Blender 2.5 also saves the window size and location.
This means the version I just saved would open up
strangely on other screen sizes/setups. I added code to
reset this to default when loading it up from the version
compiled into the Blender binary, but perhaps Ton/
Brecht might want to check the diff.

Sanitized the 'tweak' event.
Original idea was to have WM event system generating it
automatically. However, I first tested it via a handler
and operator, to check what kind of configurations would
be useful. It appeared to not work nice, also because
that inserting a tweak operator in a keymap is confusing.
Now 'tweaks' are generated automatically, and can be
catched by keymaps as any event. The current definition
of tweak is:
- if Left/Middle/Rightmouse pressed
if event wasn't handled by window queue (modal handlers)
start checking mousepositions
- while mousepositions are checked
- escape on any event other than mouse
- on mouse events:
- add tweak event if mousemove > 10 pixels
- stop checking for tweak if mousebutton released
- Tweak events have a define indicating mousebutton used
EVT_TWEAK_L, EVT_TWEAK_M, EVT_TWEAK_R
- In keymap definitions you can use _S or _A to map to
action or select mouse userdef.
- Event value in keymap should be KM_ANY for all tweaks,
or use one of the eight directions:
EVT_GESTURE_E, _SE, _S, _SW, _W, _NW, _N, _NE
- And of course you can add modifier checks in keymaps for it.
- Because tweaks are a result of mouse events, the handlers get
both to evaluate. That means that RMB-select + tweak will work
correctly.
In case you don't want both to be handled, for example the
CTRL+LMB 'extrude' and CTRL+LMB-tweak 'lasso select', you will
need to set the first acting on a EVT_RELEASE, this event only
gets passed on when tweak fails.
The current system allows all options, configurable, we had in 2.48,
and many more! A diagram of what's possible is on the todo. :)
Also in this commit: lasso select editmesh failed with 'zbuffer
occluded select'. Also circle-select failed.

for now.)
Notes:
* So far, only size mode ported and tested, still strength and rotation to do
* Brought this back for sculptmode first, still to do are particle edit, vpaint, wpaint, texpaint, and I guess image paint?
* Changed the wm paint cursor slightly, to take a customdata pointer.
* Still need to bring back brush texture display in the cursor

Added WM Jobs manager
- WM can manage threaded jobs for you; just provide a couple
of components to get it work:
- customdata, free callback for it
- timer step, notifier code
- start callback, update callback
- Once started, each job runs an own timer, and will for
every time step check necessary updates, or close the
job when ready.
- No drawing happens in jobs, that's for notifiers!
- Every job stores an owner pointer, and based on this owner
it will prevent multiple jobs to enter the stack.
Instead it will re-use a running job, signal it to stop
and allow caller to re-initialize it even.
- Check new wm_jobs.c for more explanation. Jobs API is still
under construction.
Fun: BLI_addtail(&wm->jobs, steve); :)
Put Node shader previews back using wmJobs
- Preview calculating is now fully threaded (1 thread still)
- Thanks to new event system + notifiers, you can see
previews update even while dragging sliders!
- Currently it only starts when you change a node setting.
Warning: the thread render shares Node data, so don't delete
nodes while it renders! This topic is on the todo to make safe.
Also:
- bug in region initialize (do_versions) showed channel list in
node editor wrong.
- flagged the channel list 'hidden' now, it was really in the
way! This is for later to work on anyway.
- recoded Render API callbacks so it gets handlers passed on,
no globals to use anymore, remember?
- previewrender code gets now so much nicer! Will remove a lot
of stuff from code soon.

Vertex Paint back!
Added WM level "paint cursor" system, which manages a custom painting
cursor for tools or modes.
- Activate it with WM_paint_cursor_activate(). That function wants two
callbacks, a poll(C) to check whether there's a cursor in given context
and ARegion, and a draw(C, x, y) which gets called when appropriate.
- While paintcursor is active, the WM handles necessary redrawing events
for all regions, also to nicely clear the cursor on region exit.
- WM_paint_cursor_activate returns a handle, which you have to use to
end the paint cursor. This handle also means you can register as many
custom cursors as you want.
At the moment, vertex paint mode registers only a mousemove handler,
all other events are still normally handled. This is stuff for the
future todo.

|
- Lasso select back (CTRL+LMB), object centers only,
and for editmesh. See template in wm_operators.c
- Circle select for editmode back. Currently it still
uses Ckey, and is only a temporary mode, not persistant.
Persistant circle select can be added later with
tweak gesture keymap? We'll see. :) The old circle
select was actually annoying that it was so sticky.
|
|
Notifier system upgrade, based on Brecht's doc.
Implementation notes:
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/BlenderDev/Blender2.5/DataNotifiers#Implementation
In short: let's try to strictly communicate in a notifier what happened.
The listeners then can act themselves. It also means that a frame-changed
notifier doesn't send out redraws, the editors themselves can decide.
|
|
Fix: popup menus were not freeing operators.
Made a new Popup menu call for this case:
uiPupmenuOperator(C, maxrow, op, propname, menustr);
It will set enum "propname" to the menu item and call operator,
register it optionally and free it. Use it in "invoke" calls.
Next: automatic menu generating for enum properties!
|
|
- Added standard "tweak" gesture operator, which can be set per region, to
generate EVT_TWEAK events. You can configure tweaks for any mouse button
and have handlers for such events check for modifiers etc.
It even stores tweak direction (8 directions). Might be fun to experiment
with tweak gestures N, S, etc. :)
In general it can be used to replace the current tweak code in 2.48
(std_rmouse_transform).
Test added: on screen level it now adds LMB tweaks, if tweak-South it splits
the area. Will be removed of course.
- Added to Border operator a property to store event used to end border with.
- Moved the "AZone" triangle drawing to the right context (area). It was on
screen level, not respecting area-redraws. Also cleaned up drawing for it,
and moved the "swap buffers indicator" square to look nicer. Those squares
are only for test!
- event-match function had bad code for checking for event-value. Made a
"KM_ANY" define so keymaps can be defined ignoring event values.
- Gesture todo: lasso, "real gesture" (like blender now has)
|
|
- operator definitions, callbacks, registry to WM and handlers for it are
now always in a file xxxx_ops.c or xxxx_operators.c, in the bottom you
will find the registry and handler code.
- fixed some confusing naming conventions "rip_area vs area_join" etc. Now
stick to convention to first name subject, then operation (like UI :).
So it's area_rip, screen_add, and so on.
- Nicely put exported calls (outside module) together in bottom: this using
names such as ED_screen_duplicate().
- Moved Operator-Property API to new C file.
|
|
- Simplified and cleaned previous border code
It was a bit too complex, too many data manipulations
Original idea was to have WM API calls to manage border, circle, lines,
lasso, etc. This now means that WM provides callbacks for custom operators,
so it's very easy to make them. Check bottom of screen_edit.c for an
example.
Currently two borders were coded; with and without cross hair.
Press Bkey in any area-region to test it (note: time window has wrong matrix!)
Some specs to note:
- gestures are in region space, and draw 'over'. That latter still needs some
work when we do real composites.
- only the active region is redrawn.
- on todo is the generic gesture engine for 'tweak' or like how currently grab
gestures in Blender work. These will be configurable per area-region, and WM
then will send the proper "Gesture Event" with properties (N, S, E, W, etc)
to which you then can assign operators. Such events will be generated with low
priority, so other handlers who swallowed mouse events have preference.

==========
* Changed wmOperatorType, removing init/exit callbacks and adding cancel
callback, removed default storage in favor of properties. Defined return
values for exec/invoke/modal/cancel.
* Don't allocate operator on the stack, and removed operator copy for
handlers. Now it frees based on return values from callbacks, and just
keeps a wmOperator on the heap. Also it now registers after the operator
is fully finished, to get the correct final properties.
* Changed OP_get_* functions to return 1 if the property is found and 0
otherwise, gives more readable code in my opinion. Added OP_verify_*
functions to quickly check if the property is available and set if it's
not, that's common for exec/invoke.
* Removed WM_operatortypelist_append in favor of WM_operatortype_append
which takes a function pointer instead of a list, avoids macro's and
duplicating code.
* Fix a crash where the handler would still be used while it was freed by
the operator.
* Spacetypes now have operatortypes() and keymap() callbacks to abstract
them a bit more.
* Renamed C->curarea to C->area for consistency. Removed View3D/View2D/
SpaceIpo from bContext, seems bad to keep these.
* Set context variables like window/screen/area/region to NULL again when
leaving that context, instead of leaving the pointers there.
* Added if(G.f & G_DEBUG) for many of the prints, makes output a bit
cleaner and easier to debug.
* Fixed priority of the editors/interface module in scons, would otherwise
give link errors.
* Added start of generic view2d api.
* Added space_time with some basic drawing and a single operator to change
the frame.
|
|
- removed editors/area and put this all in screen
- added first python calls (note, a new c file for scriptlinks)
- added view3d editor callbacks (no drawing yet)
- added files in editors/interface
(Cmake and Scons has to be fixed, help welcome!)
- now areas/headers are being converted on file read
- note: previously saved 2.50 files will crash!!! (.B.blend)
- area regions are being drawn, first handler for cursor added (on edge)
- window duplicate and scale works correct for screen subdiv
Todos for me:
- need to fix things in syntax (function names) a bit still
- more operators for screen
- define how Context will work... still unresolved when it gets set
- docs!
Reviews of code structure is welcome!
There are also more todos now for others, but it can wait a couple of days

adding new windowmanager module, and the first bits of new editors
module.
