- Undo that changes modes currently asserts,
since undo is now screen data.
Most likely we will change how object mode and workspaces work
since it's not practical/maintainable at the moment.
- Removed view_layer from particle settings
(wasn't needed and complicated undo).
- The common name in computer science are 'getters' and 'setters', so by
adding these names to the documentation (while 'get' and 'set are still
also mentioned) we improve findability. Having 'Getters/Setters' as a
title also makes it clearer that this example is not just about
getting or setting the property value.
- Added a little prefix to each printed value, so that print statement,
expected output, and real output can be matched easier.
The old example had two downsides:
- It promoted a blocking UI design, where the user is shown a popup
before actually executing the operator.
- It didn't show how to actually use the property values.
The new code avoids these mistakes. The properties are also shown in the
redo panel in the 3D view.
Note that I also changed the bl_idname, as this is an example about
properties, not about dialogue boxes, and changed the class name to use
the standard operator naming convention.
I also extended the example to include a panel that sets multiple
properties of the operator, since I see questions about this relatively
frequently.
Initial support for Python/Manipulator integration
from 'custom-manipulators' branch.
Supports:
- Registering custom manipulators & manipulator-groups.
- Modifying RNA properties, custom values via get/set callbacks,
or invoking an operator.
- Drawing shape presets for Python defined manipulators (arrow, circle, face-maps)
Limitations:
- Only float properties supported.
- Drawing only supported via shape presets.
(we'll likely want a way to define custom geometry or draw directly).
- When to refresh, recalculate manipulators will likely need
integration with notifier system.
Development will be continued in the 2.8 branch
