Week 5

This Week

After a long discussion on Saturday the direction of my SoC work is now changed and I'm working on toolbar UI design. This meant I had to familiarise myself with the GUI code. On Monday I looked at how layouts work and especially in the case of the operator redo panel. The aim was to switch to a two column layout, which I quickly found to be a simple change.

Tuesday and Wednesday I spent making designs for the tool shelf. These are currently being discussed on the fun-board mailing list.

Other things came up on Thursday and I'm making up for lost time this weekend. Hence the belated report.

Friday was a day of again familiarising myself with the GUI code. More concretely, I've had a close look at how Python tool shelf panels are registered as RGN_TYPE_TOOLS ARegionType and drawing code.

I was also asked to check out why redoing paint strokes isn't supported. The stroke elements (RNA_OperatorStrokeElement) that make up the properties of a stroke wmOperator are quite complex and supporting redo would require making custom panels (for which there is support).

Next Week

Start to implement the features from the designs that are generally seen as useful in the discussion on the mailing list:

• Showing shortcuts on buttons
• Popup panels
• Operator defaults

Questions

Could someone review the code for the operator stack and undo stack integration?
