Adds a few new Expression functions with the goal to:
- Simplify Placement, Rotation, Vector and Matrix object creation.
- Add new matrix functions for rotation and translation.
=======================================
Refactor:
- Substitute the use of variadic templates with parameter packs.
- Use recently incorporated external library "fmt" to handle printf like formating.
- Extensive cleaning of pragmas and unnecessary forward declarations.
- Parameter packs and libfmt provide a much stronger type checking now, so
conversions that are by standard implicit as bool to int need an explicit static_cast
to avoid compilation warnings.
Extension:
- Include a notifier field, so that the originator of the message can be provided. E.g. Document#DocumentObject
- Include a new type of message called CriticalMessage, this message is intended to have
special behaviour in the future. Namely, it will be used to notify forward compatilibity issues.
It will be used to substitute the current signal/slot mechanism.
- Include two new types of messages for user notifications (Notification and TranslatedNotification). This messages
will be use to convey UI notifications intended for the user (such as non-intrusive message about the usage of a tool). There
are two versions to mark whether the string provided as a message is already translated or not. When using the console system for
notifications, these notifications may originate from the App or the Gui. In the former, it is generally the case that the strings
of messages are not (yet) translated (but they can be marked with QT_TRANSLATE_NOOP). In the latter, often the messages to be provided
are already translated.
Python support for CriticalMessage, Notification and TranslatedNofification, including shortcuts:
Crt = FreeCAD.Console.PrintCritical
Ntf = FreeCAD.Console.PrintNotification
Tnf = FreeCAD.Console.PrintTranslatedNotification
- Add missing Property classes for all Units
- Add missing units to unit calculator, as well as some missing string representations
- also change units used for dynamic viscosity to the customary Pa*s
Support for creation of Rotation from matrices which is a combination of non uniform scale and a rotation
Fixes according to review
Scale -1 is Uniform, Not NoScaling
Fix hasScale() when negative scale
- is not feasible for practical usage and (was up to now not used, thus no consequence)
moreover, Oersted is a cgs unit while we use SI units, thus also not suitable for FEM, only makes problems for magnetization
