Since the `Array` class handles three different types, they
have different sets of properties. We add them to specific functions
so that they are clearly identified.
This class was created by realthunder during the `LinkMerge`,
in de66e563e0, to demonstrate how to use the `App::Link`
objects to create Link aware arrays.
It is used by `draftobject.array` (ortho, polar, circular)
and `draftobject.patharray` to create respective Link arrays.
This class is a bit mysterious. We need more documentation
on how the properties are being set, and how the code interacts
with the arrays that use it.
Avoid `Draft.py` in the `make_circular_array` function because
it creates a circular dependency.
Use function to find the object in `make_circular_array`.
Now the make function accepts as input a `"String"` which must be
the `Label` of an object in the document, so it is easier to create
arrays interactively from the Python console.
Clean up the GuiCommand and task panel code, and avoid printing
messages to the terminal, as this is already done
by the make function.
Avoid `Draft.py` in the `make_polar_array` function because
it creates a circular dependency.
Use function to find the object in `make_polar_rarray`.
Now the make function accepts as input a `"String"` which must be
the `Label` of an object in the document, so it is easier to create
arrays interactively from the Python console.
Clean up the GuiCommand and task panel code, and avoid printing
messages to the terminal, as this is already done
by the make function.
Avoid `Draft.py` in the `make_ortho_array` function because
it creates a circular dependency.
Use internal functions to abstract the orthogonal arrays.
The `_make_ortho_array` is a simple wrapper over the general
`make_array` function.
The result is four variants:
- `make_ortho_array`
- `make_ortho_array2d`, without the Z component
- `make_rect_array`, strictly rectangular components
- `make_rect_array2d`, strictly rectangular without the Z component
Also use functions to perform checking of the inputs,
whether these are vectors, numbers (integer and floats)
or integers.
Now the make function accepts as input a `"String"` which must be
the `Label` of an object in the document, so it is easier to create
arrays quickly from the Python console.
Clean up the GuiCommand and task panel code, and avoid printing
messages to the terminal, as this is already done
by the make function.
The displacement is added to the position already defined by
the point, in order to impart an additional shift in the copy.
The rotation is also added to the original shape's rotation
by multiplying the quaternions.
Implement `onDocumentRestore` to add the new property
to older objects.
Test the inputs to the `make_point_array` function
and return `None` if there is a problem.
Now the make function accepts as input a `"String"` which must be
the `Label` of an object in the document, so it is easier to create
arrays quickly from the Python console.
Add a message deprecating the older call `makePointArray`.
Adjust the GuiCommand accordingly. Now it uses the commit
mechanism of the parent `Modifier` class so that the executed
functions are recorded in the Python console.
Clean up the `PointArray` class as well.
=======================================================
fixes#4295
PointOnObject autoconstraint for BSplines is currently not supported, this
commit prevents malformed autoconstraint creation.
Also add `find_doc` to be able to test the existence of an
active document before searching for the object.
These can be used in the make functions of most modifier commands.
This feature allows the user to import base geometry from an existing operation in the same Job. The imported geometry is still passed through the shape type filter as if it were manually selected in the viewport.
Path: Post-test updates
Avoid spurious diffs from inadvertent newline changes by letting git
normalize newlines in the path module as well, just as a list of other
modules including Draft already do.
This effectively standardizes all checked-in code to Unix newlines, but
checkouts might use CRLF if that is the user preference.
New option allows access to previously inaccessible faces.
Corrected property label names in UI panel, and added `Face Region` option to boundary shape list.
