This includes explanation and context for non-obvious cases and
shortens debug cycles when just-in-time debugging is not available
(like on Linux) by immediately printing description of the assert
as well as symbolized backtrace.
This helps to ensure that a base class that changes underneath us
would not leave any overridden functions hanging.
This already highlighted some questionable use of GTKMM's API,
which were also fixed in this commit.
This is a high-SNR warning that's enabled by default on MSVC and
it has highlighted some bugs in glhelper.cpp (that are also fixed
in this commit).
Unfortunately GCC does not have an equivalent for that warning,
and -Wconversion is very noisy.
MSVC 2013 keeps having aggravating bugs where its unique_ptr
implementation wants to use deleted functions.
In this case the worst that could happen is one copy per entity
once during initialization (which should in principle be elided
anyway because a return value is a prvalue... no idea if MSVC does
actually do that).
This commit integrates the vector font in the resource system, so
that cross-compilation would be easier and a custom font could be
used without recompilation.
The font handling code was carefully written to lazily load glyphs;
as possible; in practice this means that startup is less than 15ms
slower after this commit, most of it spent in inflate().
This also reduces executable size and makes compilation of
glhelper.cpp much faster.
This commit integrates the bitmap font in the resource system, so
that cross-compilation would be easier.
The font handling code was carefully written to do glyph parsing
lazily; in practice this means that after this commit, startup
is less than 25ms slower, most of it spent in inflate().
This should also result in faster rendering, since there is no
rampant plane switching anymore; instead, all characters that are
actually used are stashed into same one texture.
This commit integrates icons in the resource system so that they
can be loaded (or reloaded, without restarting) in @2x mode, which
will be added in a future commit. png2c is no longer necessary.
png2c used to perform the following transformation:
if(r + g + b < 11) r = g = b = 11;
This is now achieved by switching the icons to RGBA mode and adding
alpha channel with the following imagemagick invocation, which is
equivalent to the transformation above:
for i in *.png; do
convert -fuzz 4% -channel rgba -matte \
-fill "rgba(255,255,255,0)" -opaque black \
$i $i
done
The Debian package solvespace now includes /usr/share/solvespace;
this should be split out into solvespace-data later.
Without resources, it makes no sense anymore to keep these in
separate subdirectories: unixutil* is shared between Cocoa
and GTK ports, and gloffscreen* should be shared between all ports
(but it's still platform-specific).
Currently, icons, fonts, etc are converted to C structures at compile
time and are hardcoded to the binary. This presents several problems:
* Cross-compilation is complicated. Right now, it is necessary
to be able to run executables for the target platform; this
happens to work with wine-binfmt installed, but is rather ugly.
* Icons can only have one resolution. On OS X, modern software is
expected to take advantage of high-DPI ("Retina") screens and
use so-called @2x assets when ran in high-DPI mode.
* Localization is complicated. Win32 and OS X provide built-in
support for loading the resource appropriate for the user's
locale.
* Embedding strings can only be done as raw strings, using C++'s
R"(...)" literals. This precludes embedding sizable strings,
e.g. JavaScript libraries as used in Three.js export, and makes
git history less useful. Not embedding the libraries means we
have to rely on external CDNs, which requires an Internet
connection and adds a glaring point of failure.
* Linux distribution guidelines are violated. All architecture-
independent data, especially large data such as fonts, is
expected to be in /usr/share, not in the binary.
* Customization is impossible without recompilation. Minor
modifications like adding a few missing vector font characters
or adjusting localization require a complete development
environment, which is unreasonable to expect from users of
a mechanical CAD.
As such, this commit adds a resource system that bundles (and
sometimes builds) resources with the executable. Where they go is
platform-dependent:
* on Win32: into resources of the executable, which allows us to
keep distributing one file;
* on OS X: into the app bundle;
* on other *nix: into /usr/share/solvespace/ or ../res/ (relative
to the executable path), the latter allowing us to run freshly
built executables without installation.
It also subsides the platform-specific resources that are in src/.
The resource system is not yet used for anything; this will be added
in later commits.
A previous attempt to fix this was done in 0128b8679. However, it was
not rigorous. The added offset was dependent on font size and it
introduced an error into edit control positioning. Further, it is
irrelevant to non-workplanes.
After this commit, the workplane drawing code adds a fixed offset
instead. Also, the "tab" is enlarged to not overlap with #XY etc.
Without this, if we have e.g.:
* a/x.slvs
* a/y.slvs importing a/x.slvs
and copy a/ to b/, then loading b/y.slvs would load a/x.slvs, which
is rather surprising.
Before this commit, e.g. a 120° angle could be exported as its
supplementary 60° angle but it would still say 120° in the label.
After this commit, the right angle is selected in DXF-based software.
Similarly, it roundtrips through SolveSpace correctly.
This hint is not recommended for direct use by applications, and for
a good reason: it's very annoying. Moreover, what we want is not
"keep above" but rather "keep on the same layer as graphics window",
which is already achieved by setting window type to "utility"
on GNOME and Unity WMs, and by setting the transient window hint
for the text window on KDE WM.
This screws up window managers like fvwm, which don't respect
the ICCCM "Keep Above" flag. I don't remember why it's there and
it doesn't appear that removing it has any ill effect.
This is good practice and helps to catch bugs. Several changes
were made to accomodate the newly enabled warnings:
* -Wunused-function:
* in exposed/, static functions that were supposed to be inlined
were explicitly marked as inline;
* some actually unused functions were removed;
* -Wsign-compare: explicit conversions were added, and in
the future we should find a nicer way than aux* fields;
* -Wmissing-field-initializers: added initializers;
* -Wreorder: reordered properly;
* -Wunused-but-set-variable: remove variable.
-Wunused-parameter was turned off as enabling it would result in
massive amount of churn in UI code. Despite that, we should enable
it at some point as it has a fairly high SNR otherwise.
This is done because a meaningful union extrusion is almost never
a meaningful difference extrusion, and saves a bunch of common
manual work.
To avoid creating invalid sketches this isn't done when there are any
constraints.
Specifically:
* touchscreen devices are now supported;
* rotation is now more like what SolveSpace itself does.
The code is split in two parts because MSVC can't handle string
literals longer than 16Ki.
Before this commit, when exporting a vector file without the shaded
model shown, or similarly when using formats that we do not export
the mesh to, we still generate (and then discard) the mesh in paint
order. This is a waste of time.
The immediate reason for refactoring this was that the GTK port broke
after 52af7256 since config.h is not included anymore, but it was
a fragile piece of code I will shed no tears for.
While we're at it, get rid of the mutable std::string &file to be
consistent with our conventions.
config.h now includes the git hash and so, as long as it's included
in solvespace.h, any change of git HEAD will trigger a complete
recompilation, which makes bisecting especially annoying.
While we're at it, remove HAVE_STDINT_H from it, since we require
C++11 and all MSVC versions that include C++11 also include stdint.h.
Specifically:
* Group Info
* Style Info
* Assign to Style → Newly Created Custom Style...
These context actions are meaningless without viewing or manipulating
text window.
Before this commit, the initial state allCoplanar=false took
precedence over allNonZeroLen=false, since detecting a zero-length
edge short-circuits AssembleLoops.
Grid fitting is performed only on glyph boundaries, since glyphs
include curves converted to pwl, which would be mangled by per-point
grid fitting.
Grid fitting is only performed when the plane in which text is
laid out is parallel to the viewing plane.
Grid fitting is only performed when rendering for display; there
are no devices with dpi low enough for grid fitting to become
profitable, and in any case we cannot predict what the dpi would
be anyway.
First, a larger origin offset is applied in ssglWriteText. This moves
the text so that it doesn't overlap the workplane boundary.
Second, a different offset is applied in ssglWriteTextRefCenter.
After this, the middle stroke of "E" is vertically aligned with
the reference point, and the overall label is horizontally aligned
with the reference point more precisely.
Before this commit, the graphics window edit control always had
a width of 30 average character widths.
After this commit, the edit control has a width of 5 average
character widths (for numeric constraints) or 30 average character
widths (for comment constraints), or just enough to display
the entire value being edited, whichever is greater.
This makes the edit control overlap the sketch less in case of
editing numeric constraints (since in most cases, the numbers being
edited are short), and removes annoying scrolling in case of editing
long comments.
Before this commit, the position of the edit box was adjusted
by trial and error, as far as I can tell. This commit changes
the positioning machinery for edit controls as follows:
The coordinates passed to ShowTextEditControl/ShowGraphicsEditControl
now denote: X the left bound, and Y the baseline.
The font height passed to ShowGraphicsEditControl denotes
the absolute font height in pixels, i.e. ascent plus descent.
Platform-dependent code uses these coordinates, the font metrics
for the font appropriate for the platform, and the knowledge of
the decorations drawn around the text by the native edit control
to position the edit control in a way that overlays the text inside
the edit control with the rendered text.
On OS X, GNU Unifont (of height 16) has metrics identical to
Monaco (of height 15) and so as an exception, the edit control
is nudged slightly for a pixel-perfect fit.
Also, since the built-in vector font is proportional, this commit
also switches the edit control font to proportional when editing
constraints.
Before this commit, solids in the viewport were rendered with
"emphasized edges", with the intention to highlight selectable faces.
However, selectable faces are already surrounded by entities, and
so rendering emphasized edges adds little value.
After this commit, solids in the viewport are always rendered with
"sharp edges", like they are exported.
A new button is added, "Show/hide outline of solid model".
When the outline is hidden, it is rendered using the "solid edge"
style. When the outline is shown, it is rendered using the "outline"
style.
In SolveSpace's true WYSIWYG tradition, the 2d view export follows
the rendered view exactly.
Moreover, shell edges are not rendered anymore, since there is not
much need in them anymore and not drawing them lessens the overlap
between various kinds of lines, which already includes entities,
solid edges and outlines.
Before this change, the two buttons "Show/hide shaded model" (S) and
"Show/hide hidden lines" (H) resulted in drawing the following
elements in the following styles:
Button | Non-occluded | Non-occluded | Occluded | Occluded
state | solid edges | entities | solid edges | entities
--------+--------------+--------------+-------------+--------------
!S !H | | | solid-edge | entity style
--------+ | +-------------+--------------
S !H | | | invisible
--------+ solid-edge | entity style +-------------+--------------
!S H | | | |
--------+ | | solid-edge | entity style
S H | | | |
--------+--------------+--------------+-------------+--------------
After this change, they are drawn as follows:
Button | Non-occluded | Non-occluded | Occluded | Occluded
state | solid edges | entities | solid edges | entities
--------+--------------+--------------+-------------+--------------
!S !H | | | solid-edge | entity style
--------+ | +-------------+--------------
S !H | | | invisible
--------+ solid-edge | entity style +-------------+--------------
!S H | | | |
--------+ | | hidden-edge | stippled¹
S H | | | |
--------+--------------+--------------+-------------+--------------
¹ entity style, but the stipple parameters taken from hidden-edge
In SolveSpace's true WYSIWYG tradition, the 2d view export follows
the rendered view exactly.
Also, it is now possible to edit the stipple parameters of built-in
styles, so that by changing the hidden-edge style to non-stippled
it is possible to regain the old behavior.
Before this commit, "emphasized edges" were displayed as well as
exported. An "emphasized edge" is an edge between triangles that
come from different faces. They are helpful in the rendered
display because they hint at the locations of faces, but not
in the 2d export since they just clutter the drawing.
After this commit, "emphasized edges" are displayed but "sharp
edges" are exported. A "sharp edge" is an edge between triangles
where the two matching vertexes have different normals, indicating
a discontiguity in the surface. "Sharp edges" are also displayed
while post-viewing the exported geometry.
According to the C++ standard, "this" is never NULL, so checks
of the form "if(!this)" can be legally optimized out. This
breaks SolveSpace on GCC 6, and probably on other compilers and
configurations.
