Before this commit, when a point is constrained to an entity (point,
circle, arc of circle or line segment) by clicking on it,
the resulting constraint is not necessarily satisfied, and the next
regeneration may place the newly constrained point somewhere other
than the intended position. After this commit, the parameters
are modified to satisfy the constraint.
Commit f5485cb and its ancestors add a parameter to some constraints.
This parameter must be materialized and assigned a non-zero value via
ModifyToSatisfy for the solver library to not make unnecessary
changes to the sketch during the initial generation. For this, we
represent it explicitly instead of using hc.param(0), such that
the materialized constraint does not conflict with any user-defined
ones.
This commit follows 41365c5, which enabled export of Z coordinate
by using POLYLINE instead of LWPOLYLINE. After this commit, only
the AcDb2dPolyline/AcDb2dVertex are used when exporting flat views,
which may improve compatibility with 2d design packages.
The existing code is horrible and needlessly platform-dependent.
Even worse, it causes a freeze on GTK. Instead of propping that up
with a few more crutches, just fix the root cause.
The somewhat confusingly named set_has_alpha() function does not
affect whether alpha can be used during rendering to the area.
Rather, it affects whether alpha will be used when composing
the contents of the area with the window underneath it.
Before this commit, if any rendering mode except "show all occluded"
is enabled, points can be highlighted for corresponding to a DOF
after "Analyze → Degrees of Freedom" but then promptly occluded,
which is confusing.
We want to suppress accelerators but still get input to (at least)
the window where the editor is opened. It's no harm to permit input
to other windows, but it is bad to route all of it to the editor,
since color chooser depends on being able to receive input.
So, what we do is add modal grab to the *overlay*, which has
the editor and the underlay widget, route all events as usual
to children, and just force the key events to go to the editor,
since otherwise they would still propagate up for some reason.
Before this commit, the first time NewFrame() is called,
the background color would not be filled, leading to interference
with whatever the GUI toolkit decided to put there.
This is a fairly standard CAD feature; it conveys the same
information and has the same recovery path, without erroring out,
so seems like an obvious win.
Before this commit, updates to the bitmap font in the graphics window
cause missing characters in the text window and vice versa. This is
because BitmapFont contains a texture that's mutated, and sharing it
would also require sharing display lists between GL contexts, which
is not done (and overly complicated for this case anyway).
Before this commit, dragging a new rect would result in one
of the lines lagging behind, because it is drawn in the middle
of regeneration. After this commit, the rectangle stays rectangular.
For a reason I do not understand, this only fixes Win32; GTK
continues to exhibit the bug, whereas Cocoa has never exhibited it
but the render latency seems to have lowered slightly.
It's a deprecated platform that has weird OpenGL-related bugs and
is incompatible with using EGL anyway. It was clear we're going
to drop it, the only question was when. Answer: now.
Before this commit, when an entity is clicked at or dragged, and it
shares a place with other entities, which of them is selected is
decided more or less at random. This is particularly annoying when
dragging.
After this commit, when clicking, an entity from the current group
is given preference, and when dragging, an entity from a request
is given preference. This allows e.g. dragging points of a sketch
even when an extrusion of that sketch is active.
Before this commit, it was possible to add some redundant constraints
(e.g. vertical, horizontal or midpoint) without failing the sketch,
because SolveBySubstitution() removed the redundant equations.
However, this could result in the solve failing later because
the system didn't converge, without any pointers as to the true
cause of the failure.
After this commit, any transparent triangles are drawn last, which
causes them to not clobber the depth buffer, and so if they overlap
some opaque triangles, then these opaque triangles will be visible.
There are still issues with overlapping transparent triangles,
and with transparent triangles overlapping outlines and entities.
It was broken because of three bugs:
* Uninitialized variables in RunCommand;
* Trying to use (OEM-encoded) main() argc/argv arguments instead
of GetCommandLineW();
* Trying to pass relative paths directly into ssfopen.
Before this commit, if constraints with newly introduced params were
loaded from a file that linked other files, the upgrade code would
attempt to look up a non-existent entity.
All of our executables need resources; e.g. the vector font is
a resource and it is necessary for generation. Before this commit,
the GUI executable loaded the resources in a nice way, and everything
else did it in a very ad-hoc, fragile way.
After this commit, all executables are placed in <build>/bin and
follow the same algorithm:
* On Windows, resources are compiled and linked into every
executable.
* On Linux, resources are copied into <build>/res (which is
tried first) and <prefix>/share/solvespace (which is tried
second).
* On macOS, resources are copied into <build>/res (which is
tried first) and <build>/bin/solvespace.app/Contents/Resources
(which is tried second).
In practice this means that we can add as many executables as we want
without duplicating lots of code. In addition, on macOS, we can
place supplementary executables into the bundle, and they can use
resources from the bundle transparently.
Before this commit, inserting into BSP tree could easily overflow
the stack because we allocate very large stack frames and, on
convex geometries (e.g. a sphere), the BSP tree degenerates into
a "BSP list", thus requiring one large stack frame per triangle.
This can be reproduced by exporting a 2d shaded view of sphere.
After this commit, the stack frames only contan a pointer to
a supplementary data structure, and moreover it only allocates
its fields on demand, conserving heap memory as well.
As a side effect, an arbitrary classifier limit of 50 vertices
is removed.
This commit implements two improvements. First, it rewrites
SMesh::FirstIntersectionWith() to use an optimal (as currently known)
ray tracing algorithm. Second, it rejects triangles without
an associated face entity outright.
This partially reverts commit 3a585ea.
We no longer need this because the VectorsParallel() is gone, and
there is no chance of pivoting wrong when solving.
Before this commit, parallel constraints in 3d are fragile:
constraints that are geometrically fine can end up singular anyway
because VectorsParallel() pivots wrong but converges anyway.
After this commit, much like in cc07058, the constraints are written
in a different form: instead of trying to remove two degrees of
freedom out of three, all three are removed, and one added; namely,
the constraint introduces a free parameter, signed length ratio.
Before this commit, pt-on-line constraints are buggy. To reproduce,
extrude a circle, then add a datum point and constrain it to the
axis of the circle, then move it. The cylinder will collapse.

Indeed, this commit implements the latter solution: it introduces
an additional free parameter. The point being coincident with
the start of the line corresponds to the parameter being zero, and
point being coincident with the end corresponds to one).
In effect, instead of constraining two of three degrees of freedom
(for which the equations do not exist because of the hairy ball
theorem), it constrains three and adds one more.
Before this commit, polylines got flattened but all other entities
got exported with the proper Z coordinate. After this commit, all
entities are exported with proper Z coordinate.
Also, instead of exporting LWPOLYLINE (2d only), POLYLINE (2d/3d)
is exported; as a bonus it is more compatible with 3rd party
software, since it is older.
The only thing we need it anymore is the package version and platform
configuration, so only include it for that. As a result, less files
are rebuilt when the git commit changes and config.h is regenerated.
Before this commit, any visibility toggle would cause a regeneration.
After this commit, toggling visibility of normals and points never
causes a regeneration, and toggling visibility of edges and outlines
only causes a regeneration when they weren't already generated.
FromTransformationOf is called with an identity rotation or
translation for translation and rotation groups, and for every
group that doesn't produce a solid model. This commit omits any
calculations from it when the relevant part of transformation
would change nothing.
This commit results in a ~10% improvement on testcase
woodworking/big-big-big-woodworking-asm, and splitting the condition
into three parts results in a ~5% improvement on testcase
stress/rotate_groups_0.
SSurface::TriangulateInto first populates the mesh with triangles
that have no color, and then paints them, which confused the code
that detects if a mesh is transparent into thinking that all of them
are; and that broke the "draw back faces in red" feature, since it
is disabled for transparent meshes.
The configuration option "draw back faces in red" aids debugging,
in that it allows to visually identify a non-watertight mesh.
When it is disabled, or when the mesh is transparent, we used to not
draw them at all before this commit; after, they are drawn just like
the front faces.
This has two consequences:
1. Inner surfaces of non-watertight meshes are not see-through
anymore. That used to be the behavior in version 2.0, and it
was accidentally broken in 2.1.
2. Transparent meshes look *much* better.
3. Solids made from a union of a non-transparent and a transparent
one look sensibly at all.
This commit also updates the OpenGL 1 renderer to let it render
such meshes correctly.
This commit performs two main changes:
* Alters the shaders to use only strictly conformant GLSL 2.0.
* Alters the Windows UI to use ANGLE via GL ES 2.0 and EGL 1.4.
This commit also drops official support for Windows XP, since ANGLE
requires a non-XP toolset to build. It is still possible to build
SolveSpace for Windows XP using:
cmake -T v120_xp -DOPENGL=1
This commit does three things:
* Recognizes that BeginFrame()/EndFrame() are badly named, since
BeginFrame() sets up framebuffer, and EndFrame() flushes a frame,
and they do not have to be called in pairs; and so renames them
to NewFrame()/FlushFrame().
* Reduces the amount of frame flushes in GraphicsWindow::Paint()
to two, which is the minimum since we use two different cameras
for geometry and UI;
* Changes the FPS measurement code to only take into account
the time spent rendering our main geometry, and not the UI
rendering or window system interaction time.
