The current make_layer function has a `None` default for the shape color and the line color. With that value the current preference is used. This, and how the function is called, results in some confusing behaviors:
* Newly created layers will only use 2 values from the preferences when they might use 5. The latter makes more sense for the end-user IMO.
* Layers created during DXF import (for example) will have a different shape color depending on the current preferences.
* The make_layer function may reapply colors that have already been set by the view provider.
To solve this all view property related function parameter have been changed to a not None value. If a None value is supplied the view property as set by the view provider is not changed. The Layer Manager has been updated accordingly.
I realize that calling a function with 6 None values is not very convenient, but think it is the solution that is least likely to break other exiting code.
Additionally:
* Removed the makeLayer function. Layers were introduced in V0.19 when the naming scheme was changed to "make_*". Maybe it was created by mistake, or before the actual renaming operation started, but it is safe to remove it now.
* Removed overly verbose messages.
* gui_layers.py had a missing import (result of a previous V0.22 PR): `from draftutils import utils`.
The command now applies all style properties from `utils.get_default_annotation_style()` and `utils.get_default_shape_style()`.
Additionally: minor improvements to gui_setstyle.py.
The tolerance function now derives its value from the precision preference.
Additonally:
Removed the epsilon() function. It did not make sense and was not used.
Normally the bounding box is taken from `Shape.BoundBox`.
Certain objects don't have a `Shape`, like `App::FeaturePythons`,
so the bounding box is calculated from `ViewObject.RootNode`.
Small fixes where the `get_svg` function is used, for example,
in the (obsolete) `DrawingView` class and `Arch_SectionPlane`.
Also update the unit tests accordingly.
It takes a `Shape` and replicates it around a path, while at the
same time adding a rotation to each copy. This can be used to create
a twisted "ribcage" from a frame-like object, which can be used
in a more complicated `Shape`, for example, a tunnel or bridge
object.
Also rename `getSVG` to `get_svg`.
Instead of testing `obj.isDerivedFrom('Part::Feature')`
we test for a Shape, `hasattr(obj, 'Shape')`.
This is to support the SVG generation of `App::Links`.
Move `make_layer` to `draftmake`; `Layer` and `LayerContainer`
to `draftobjects`; `ViewProviderLayer` and `ViewProviderLayerContainer`
to `draftviewproviders`.
The make function and the classes are imported in `Draft.py`
to support the usage of the older `VisGroup`.
The Doxygen documentation paragraphs in `Draft.py` are no longer necessary,
as this information is already added to the `draft.dox` file
which can be used to consolidate the general documentation of the workbench.
Remove imported modules that are no longer necessary.
Reorganize the import of functions from the separate modules.
It's possible that some functions will be further moved another time.
These functions were previously in `draftutils.utils`,
and are related to grouping objects and finding objects
inside groups. These include `get_group_names`, `ungroup`,
`get_windows`, `get_group_contents`, `get_movable_children`.
These are imported in the main `Draft.py` module, so compatibility
is retained.
Modules which use these functions are updated; these include
Gui Commands like `Move`, `Rotate`, `Scale`, `AddToGroup`,
as well as objects like `DrawingView` and `Shape2DView`,
and `ViewProviderClone`.
The code inside the `importDXF` module is also updated.
The Arch Workbench uses many of these functions
but it does so from the `Draft` namespace, so these edits
don't change the situation for these commands.
The old `convertDraftTexts` function was moved from the `Draft.py`
module to the `draftutils.utils` module; however, here it is
not possible to use because the `makeText` function
is not accessible. Therefore, the function is moved to
`draftmake.make_text`.
Add view properties of dimensions, labels, and text objects
through methods, calling the parent classes, and `ViewProviderDraftAnnotation`
when needed.
A single `make_dimension` handles three types of dimensions,
(1) simple linear, (2) linear linked to an object, and (3) linked
to a circular edge.
So, we provide a new function, `make_radial_dimension_obj`,
to handle the third case. In this way we can check the input
parameters much better.
We adjust the `Draft_Dimension` Gui Command accordingly.
A single `make_dimension` handles three types of dimensions,

So, we provide two new functions, `make_linear_dimension`
and `make_linear_dimension_obj`, to handle the first two cases.
In this way we can check the input parameters much better.
We adjust the `Draft_Dimension` Gui Command accordingly.
Previously the `make_dimension` and `make_angular_dimension`
functions were in `draftobjects/dimension.py`.
Now they are moved to `draftmake/make_dimension.py`.
The original `makeAngularDimension` function requires angles
in radians which is counterintuitive for most cases. Also
the order is `[big, small]`.
The new function `make_angular_dimension` accepts angles
in degrees, and the order is `[small, big]`. The older
function is retained for compatibility purposes.
Also perform several improvements such as PEP8 cleanup,
writing complete docstrings, type checking the input arguments,
and depreacting the older call.
The `Draft.py` module, Gui Command, unit test, and test script
are updated accordingly.

Update `Draft.py`, the Gui Command, the unit test, and test script
as well.
Also perform several improvements such as PEP8 cleanup,
write complete docstring, type checking of the input arguments,
accepting a full placement to modify the position,
and deprecating the older call.
Update the Gui Command as well.
Previously they were in `draftobjects`, but since they
don't define new objects, just create objects,
they are moved to `draftmake`.
Also ajust the `CMakeLists.txt` and the corresponding Gui Commands
which use these make functions.
These functions internally use the `Draft.makeArray` function.
We will put comments as reminders so that when this function
is moved to its own module, we can update the derived functions.
Remove the make function that creates the old object,
its corresponding Gui Command, and the old `DraftFillet.Fillet`
proxy class, which now is a redirection to the new `Fillet`
class defined in `draftobjects.fillet`.
Also change the unit test, and the `draft_test_object` script
to run `Draft.make_fillet`.
The original code was in `DraftFillet.py` which is split
into a different modules like the rest of the workbench.
The object code is in `draftobjects`, the viewprovider
is in `draftviewproviders`, and the function to create it
is in `draftmake`.
Also import it in the `Draft` namespace so that is available
as `Draft.make_arc_3points`.
Use this new function in the unit test `drafttests.test_creation`,
in the GuiCommand `draftguitools.gui_arcs`, and in the
`draft_test_objects` script.
