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.
Before this commit, tooltips in the text window are drawn under
the red "X" indicating a disabled button. After this commit, they
are moved on top of that.
This commit also alters the OpenGL renderers' SetCamera() method
to clear the depth buffer, as that would interfere with drawing
the UI; the toolbar would get occluded by geometry.
To actually achieve improved performance with the OpenGL 2 renderer,
we have to cache geometry that doesn't change when the viewport does
(note that the rendered pixels can change quite dramatically because
we can reconfigure shaders; e.g. stippling can be drawn in screen
coordinates).
This commit adds a BatchCanvas interface that can be implemented
by renderers, and uses it for drawing entities such as lines and
points.
There are two main reasons to desire an OpenGL 2 renderer:
1. Compatibility. The compatibility profile, ironically, does not
offer a lot of compatibility, and our OpenGL 1 renderer will not
run on Android, iOS, or WebGL.
2. Performance. The immediate mode does not scale, and in fact
becomes very slow with only a moderate amount of lines on screen,
and only a somewhat large amount of triangles.
This commit implements a basic OpenGL 2 renderer that uses only
features from the (OpenGL 3.2) core profile. It is not yet faster
than the OpenGL 1 renderer, primarily because it uses a lot of small
draw calls.
This commit uses OpenGL 2 on Linux and Mac OS X directly (i.e. links
to the GL symbols from version 2+); on Windows this is impossible
with the default drivers, so for now OpenGL 1 is still used there.
OpenGL 2 and newer do not have the glPolygonMode(..., GL_LINES) API,
so produce the wireframe on our side. It's somewhat slow, and draws
every line three times, but it is cached when the OpenGL 2 renderer
is used, and this should do for a debugging feature.
This specific implementation seems to have lingered from the days
before IdList was stored sorted. This commit has resulted in a ~5%
improvement in Generate::DIRTY time for modelisation.slvs on a GCC 6
release build.
gcc 6 displays these when compiling in release mode; all of these
warnings except the rankOk one were benign because there would have
been an error about the incomplete switch statement.
The rankOk warning highlighted a real problem: bailing early to
didnt_converge would have branched on an uninitialized variable.
This is a common and convenient behavior; the basename is
pre-selected, so exporting multiple views requires just one keystroke
to put the cursor after the basename.
This is useful in case one wants to create a workplane based on
one of the reference ones, to be explicit, or to avoid fishing out
again the line segments used to create a workplane at an angle.
If a generated mesh is non-watertight, and this is not noticed for
some reason (e.g. the markers are dismissed), and the mesh is
exported for further processing, it could cause problems down
the line.
Before this commit, every debug message was correctly printed
to stdout, but they were all concatenated onto a single line in
the Visual Studio "Output" pane.
GroupsInOrder is an extremely hot function, especially during object
picking: before this commit, it was easy to get second plus latencies
on picking, and after this commit picking is almost real-time.
Abstract the exact details of the OpenGL renderer in the render.h
header; this allows us to use GL-specific types in the renderer
class and functions without including OpenGL (and Windows, where
applicable) headers in every source file.
These points can be used for constraining the width of the text
(or to the width of the text).
The main parts of the commit are:
* TtfFont is restructured to be able to return the aspect ratio
for a given string.
* This aspect ratio is written to the savefile, such that even if
the font is missing, the sketch would still be solved correctly.
* The two additional points are constrained via perpendicularly
to the two main points (which form a v vector).
The compatibility features are as follows:
* When the font is missing in old files, 1:1 aspect ratio is used,
which works for the replacement symbol anyhow.
* When the two additional points are missing in old files, their
would-be positions are calculated and they are moved there,
avoiding 'jumping' of underconstrained sketches.
SolveSpace 2.0 used the height of 'A' (i.e. cap height) to determine
the reference height.
SolveSpace 2.1 completely broke that during transition to Freetype,
and used something more or less random, by using FT_Set_Char_Size
with units_per_EM.
SolveSpace 2.2 attempted to fix that, but also used something more
or less random, by using FT_Request_Size with "unit" values.
Turns out that Freetype actually doesn't have a concept of cap height
at all. It is possible to extract it from the TT_OS2 table that is
present in some TrueType fonts, but it is not present in Microsoft
fonts (the msttcorefonts ones), and for those Linux fonts in which
it is present it doesn't appear very reliable.
So instead, use the height of 'A' instead, like version 2.0 did.
This has the advantage that it is quite bulletproof, and also matches
exactly what the old files are measured against.
One downside is that fonts without an 'A' glyph would not render.
We can deal with that when it becomes a problem.
Apitrace uses swapping buffers to determine frame boundaries; before
this commit, everything solvespace renders gets put into a single
frame. Since we don't use double-buffered rendering, the call does
nothing (and is legal to perform), but apitrace output becomes
readable.
Sometimes, after a large change in a sketch, constraints that are
geometrically fine may still cause the rank test to fail. One way
this can happen is VectorsParallel() pivoting wrong due to the big
move, converging anyways but ending up singular. It would then
re-pivot correctly on the new solution when you re-solve, making
this a transient error. This is visible when dragging the arm in
the jansen-asm.slvs example.
After this commit, if the rank test fails, equations are regenerated
the Jacobian is rewritten, and the rank test is retried, which
prevents these transient errors from interfering with dragging.
The problem described above was invisible before c011444, as rank
test was only performed before solving.
A system solved as REDUNDANT_OKAY is still solved correctly,
even if the UI would consider this an error, in case that
g->allowRedundant==false. So there's no reason to discard this
solution; we might find it useful if a system loses a degree of
freedom while dragging, or to avoid regeneration after redundant
constraints are allowed.
This commit also reverts commit 3ff236c, as that is not necessary
anymore.
Before this commit, the outlines are generated in an arbitrary order
from the kd-tree. This worked just fine for continuous lines, but
for stippling, especially on curves, this meant that most of
the piecewise linear edges would have the stippling phase restart
from zero, leading to a very poor appearance.
These were useful before because chord tolerance depended on the zoom
level; and so the first generation produced a crude mesh used to
set the zoom level, and the second actually did useful work.
Chord tolerance is now independent of the zoom level, so this code
is no longer useful.
Before this commit, a translate group based on another translate
group would always use the "union" boolean operation, which does not
work at all if one wants an array with a difference operation, and
results in degraded performance if one wants an array with
an assemble operation.
This significantly improves performance e.g. in case of a sketch
containing a multitude of wooden panels, as the meshes can be
merely transformed instead of being joined.
The check was actually half-broken from the beginning and
until df83ee4; the thick red line was rendered properly but
the error text was rendered with width 0, which by chance worked
on some GL implementations. That commit has fixed the underlying
bug but left the text line width at 0 to avoid test breakage.
This commit fixes the bug, turns off the check completely, and
updates the tests to account for breakage.
The libspnav library doesn't even define SI_APP_FIT_BUTTON, which
appears to be Windows-specific functionality, perhaps a physical
button remapped with some logic. Just use 0 instead, since that
seems always safe.
OpenGL 1.1 permits implementations to reject non-power-of-2 sized
textures. In practice this only affects the default Windows OpenGL
implementation, i.e. with no vendor drivers installed. This is still
important in case the application runs in a VM.
Unfortunately there is no portable way to open an Unicode path with
std::fstream. On *nix, it is enough to call the const char*
constructor. On MSVC, it is enough to call a nonstandard
const wchar_t* constructor. However, on MinGW, there is no way at all
to construct an std::fstream with a wide path, not even using
undocumented APIs. (There used to be a const wchar_t* overload added
back in libstdc++ 4.7, but it got removed for a reason that I was not
able to find out.)
This fixes a strange problem where GTK 2 (but not GTK 3) with NVidia
drivers would not have a depth buffer, but only during exporting
PNGs, despite the fact that normal rendering path and PNG rendering
path come through the same offscreen rendering code.
This avoids a pitfall where a point and a line are selected that are
not in the current workplane, but since the view is parallel to
the workplane, that's not visible, and incorrect measurement results.
The states are:
* Draw all lines (on top of shaded mesh).
* Draw occluded (by shaded mesh) lines as stippled.
* Do not draw occluded (by shaded mesh) lines.
As usual, the export output follows the screen output.
In 2.0, the distance between the points in the TTF request specified
cap height. In 2.1, that was accidentally changed to some arbitrary
value near cap height instead, due to a 72pt factor mess-up.
This commit restores the old behavior.
We're using gcov+lcov, since these tools appear to be the only
usable ones that use the SC/CC metric; and measuring just the line
coverage would be practically criminal negligence.
gcov only works with GCC and Clang, and MSVC's own coverage
measurement tools are not up to the task; so MSVC is out of luck.
This commit alters the build system substantially; it adds another
platform, `headless`, that provides stubs in place of all GUI
functions, and provides a library `solvespace_headless` alongside
the main executable. To cut down build times, only the few files
that have #if defined(HEADLESS) are built twice for the executable
and the library; the rest is grouped into a new `solvespace_cad`
library. It is not usable on its own and just serves for grouping.
This commit also gates the tests behind a -DENABLE_TESTS=ON CMake
option, ON by default (but suggested as OFF in the README so that
people don't ever have to install cairo to build the executable.)
The tests introduced in this commit are (so far) rudimentary,
although functional, and they serve as a stepping point towards
introducing coverage analysis.
Without -fno-exceptions, the branch coverage information is
practically useless, as every call becomes a branch.
The functionality of Expr is retained as-is, although SjLj error
handling is a maintenance nightmare. However, the entire parser
probably should be eventually replaced, so for now it is not
a great concern.
SurfaceRenderer is a new renderer implementing the Canvas interface
running entirely on the CPU; it projects strokes and triangles
in the exact same way as OpenGL would, and it can be used for
rendering into raster or vector 2d surfaces.
The only user of that was the background image, and it was flipped
again when it was rendered, so the two bugs masked out each other.
This adds a `bool flip` to ReadPng and FromPng, since that's cheap
to do when writing the PNG file, expensive on the pixel arrays,
and sometimes inconvenient in OpenGL due to offsets.
This commit makes common external packages always be included through
find_package to eliminate differences in variables set, wraps
find_package for vendored libraries on Windows to factor out common
code, and removes miscellaneous useless code elsewhere in dependency
handling.
This also fixes a problem where pkg-config would pick up `build`
libraries instead of `host` when cross-compiling.
It was never really needed, since both Linux and OS X, where
GlOffscreen is used, guarantee that the API we need is present,
on all OS versions we're interested in.
Also, reorganize GlOffscreen consistently with the rest of our
codebase, and don't use RAII for OpenGL resource management because
of its requirement for an active context.
This has the following benefits:
* Less geometry to generate; we can do both in one pass;
* Less geometry to draw;
* Eliminate overdraw of outlines on top of emphasized edges;
* In future, being able to seamlessly stitch stippled lines.
The contour edges are now also drawn before emphasized edges;
this makes intersections of contour and emphasized edges look better
as the thinner emphasized edge doesn't clobber the depth buffer.
This has several desirable consequences:
* It is now possible to port SolveSpace to a later version of
OpenGL, such as OpenGLES 2, so that it runs on platforms that
only have that OpenGL version;
* The majority of geometry is now rendered without references to
the camera in C++ code, so a renderer can now submit it to
the video card once and re-rasterize with a different projection
matrix every time the projection is changed, avoiding expensive
reuploads;
* The DOGD (draw or get distance) interface is now
a straightforward Canvas implementation;
* There are no more direct references to SS.GW.(projection)
in sketch rendering code, which allows rendering to multiple
viewports;
* There are no more unnecessary framebuffer flips on CPU on Cocoa
and GTK;
* The platform-dependent GL code is now confined to rendergl1.cpp.
* The Microsoft and Apple headers required by it that are prone to
identifier conflicts are no longer included globally;
* The rendergl1.cpp implementation can now be omitted from
compilation to run SolveSpace headless or with a different
OpenGL version.
Note these implementation details of Canvas:
* GetCamera currently always returns a reference to the field
`Camera camera;`. This is so that a future renderer that caches
geometry in the video memory can define it as asserting, which
would provide assurance against code that could accidentally
put something projection-dependent in the cache;
* Line and triangle rendering is specified through a level of
indirection, hStroke and hFill. This is so that a future renderer
that batches geometry could cheaply group identical styles.
* DrawPixmap and DrawVectorText accept a (o,u,v) and not a matrix.
This is so that a future renderer into an output format that
uses 2d transforms (e.g. SVG) could easily derive those.
Some additional internal changes were required to enable this:
* Pixmap is now always passed as std::shared_ptr<{const ,}Pixmap>.
This is so that the renderer could cache uploaded textures
between API calls, which requires it to capture a (weak)
reference.
* The PlatformPathEqual function was properly extracted into
platform-specific code. This is so that the <windows.h> header
could be included only where needed (in platform/w32* as well
as rendergl1.cpp).
* The SBsp{2,3}::DebugDraw functions were removed. They can be
rewritten using the Canvas API if they are ever needed.
While no visual changes were originally intended, some minor fixes
happened anyway:
* The "emphasis" yellow line from top-left corner is now correctly
rendered much wider.
* The marquee rectangle is now pixel grid aligned.
* The hidden entities now do not clobber the depth buffer, removing
some minor artifacts.
* The workplane "tab" now scales with the font used to render
the workplane name.
* The workplane name font is now taken from the normals style.
* Workplane and constraint line stipple is insignificantly
different. This is so that it can reuse the existing stipple
codepaths; rendering of workplanes and constraints predates
those.
Some debug functionality was added:
* In graphics window, an fps counter that becomes red when
rendering under 60fps is drawn.
If SolveSpace crashes after the open, or hangs and is forcibly
killed, data would be lost. (I lost my data.) Instead, remove
autosave only in two cases: right after a successful save, or right
after a save is declined. This should be completely safe.
Also, use a more appealing isometric projection if none specified,
instead of orthographic.
Also, use the scale, offset and projection from the viewport at
the time of export.
It's broken. It expects a valid OpenGL context during generation
that immediately pushes changes to the screen. This is never true
on non-Windows as offscreen rendering is used, and also incompatible
with OpenGL core profile.
Further, right now it displays junk on Windows as well due to some
issue with the bitmap font texture loading.
We will restore it later, in a saner form.
This is to ensure that:
* it is clear, when looking at the point of usage, what is
the purpose of "true" or "false";
* when refactoring, a simple search will bring up any places that
need to be changed.
Also, argument names were synchronized between declaration and
implementation.
As an exception, these are not annotated:
* Printf(/*halfLine=*/), to avoid pointless churn.
Specifically, this enables -Wswitch=error on GCC/Clang and its MSVC
equivalent; the exact way it is handled varies slightly, but what
they all have in common is that in a switch statement over an
enumeration, any enumerand that is not explicitly (via case:) or
implicitly (via default:) handled in the switch triggers an error.
Moreover, we also change the switch statements in three ways:
* Switch statements that ought to be extended every time a new
enumerand is added (e.g. Entity::DrawOrGetDistance(), are changed
to explicitly list every single enumerand, and not have a
default: branch.
Note that the assertions are kept because it is legal for
a enumeration to have a value unlike any of its defined
enumerands, and we can e.g. read garbage from a file, or
an uninitialized variable. This requires some rearranging if
a default: branch is undesired.
* Switch statements that ought to only ever see a few select
enumerands, are changed to always assert in the default: branch.
* Switch statements that do something meaningful for a few
enumerands, and ignore everything else, are changed to do nothing
in a default: branch, under the assumption that changing them
every time an enumerand is added or removed would just result
in noise and catch no bugs.
This commit also removes the {Request,Entity,Constraint}::UNKNOWN and
Entity::DATUM_POINT enumerands, as those were just fancy names for
zeroes. They mess up switch exhaustiveness checks and most of the time
were not the best way to implement what they did anyway.
This follows the previous commit. Unlike it, though, a small change
to control flow is made to separate the command and pending operation
enumerations.
Specifically, take the old code that looks like this:
class Foo {
enum { X = 1, Y = 2 };
int kind;
}
... foo.kind = Foo::X; ...
and convert it to this:
class Foo {
enum class Kind : uint32_t { X = 1, Y = 2 };
Kind kind;
}
... foo.kind = Foo::Kind::X;
(In some cases the enumeration would not be in the class namespace,
such as when it is generally useful.)
The benefits are as follows:
* The type of the field gives a clear indication of intent, both
to humans and tools (such as binding generators).
* The compiler is able to automatically warn when a switch is not
exhaustive; but this is currently suppressed by the
default: ssassert(false, ...)
idiom.
* Integers and plain enums are weakly type checked: they implicitly
convert into each other. This can hide bugs where type conversion
is performed but not intended. Enum classes are strongly type
checked.
* Plain enums pollute parent namespaces; enum classes do not.
Almost every defined enum we have already has a kind of ad-hoc
namespacing via `NAMESPACE_`, which is now explicit.
* Plain enums do not have a well-defined ABI size, which is
important for bindings. Enum classes can have it, if specified.
We specify the base type for all enums as uint32_t, which is
a safe choice and allows us to not change the numeric values
of any variants.
This commit introduces absolutely no functional change to the code,
just renaming and change of types. It handles almost all cases,
except GraphicsWindow::pending.operation, which needs minor
functional change.
This will allow us in future to accept `const T &` anywhere it's
necessary to reduce the amount of copying.
This commit is quite conservative: it does not attempt very hard to
refactor code that performs incidental mutation. In particular
dogd and caches are not marked with the `mutable` keyword.
dogd will be eliminated later, opening up more opportunities to
add const qualifiers.
This commit also doesn't introduce any uses of the newly added const
qualifers. This will be done later.
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.
Fix iconutil build errors: “Iconset contains no image resources.”,
followed by “Failed to generate ICNS.”
The error is produced by iconutil because the AppIcon.iconset contains
only symbolic links to the icon resources which aren’t followed.
Replace the symbolic links with duplicates of the original resources,
as well as conform to the “High Resolution Guidelines for OS X” by
adding additional sizes and dpi.
This change is quite subtle. The goal is to improve responsiveness
of highlighting even further. To understand this change you need
to keep in mind that Windows and Gtk have dramatically different
behavior for paint (WM_PAINT in Windows, expose in Gtk) and
mouse move events.
In Windows, WM_PAINT and WM_MOUSEMOVE, unless sent explicitly,
are synthesized: WM_MOUSEMOVE is delivered when there are no other
messages and the current cursor position doesn't match the remembered
one, and WM_PAINT is delivered when there are no other messages,
even WM_MOUSEMOVE. This is pretty clever because it doesn't swamp
programs that are slow to process either of those events with even
more of them, ensuring they remain responsive.
In Gtk, expose events are delivered at the end of the frame whenever
there is an invalid view, and every single mouse move that happened
will result in a separate event.
If mouse move events are handled quickly, then the behavior is
identical in either case:
* process mouse move event
* perform hit testing
* invalidate view
* no more events to process!
* there are invalid views
* repaint
If, however, mouse move events are handled slower, then the behavior
diverges. With Gtk:
* process mouse move event
* perform hit testing (slow)
* while this happens, ten more mouse move events are added
* invalidate view
* end of frame!
* there are invalid views
* repaint
* process mouse move event...
As a result, the Gtk-hosted UI hopelessly lags behind user input.
This is very irritating.
With Windows:
* process mouse move event
* perform hit testing (slow)
* while this happens, mouse was moved
* invalidate view
* process mouse move event...
As a result, the Windows-hosted UI never repaints while the mouse
is moved. This is also very irritating.
Commit HEAD^ has fixed the problems with Gtk-based UI by making
hit testing so fast that mouse move events never quite overflow
the queue. There's still a barely noticeable lag but it's better.
However, the problems with Windows remained because while the queue
doesn't *overflow* with the faster hit testing code, it doesn't go
*empty* either! Thus we still don't repaint.
This commit builds on top of HEAD^ and makes it so that we don't
actually hit test anything if we haven't painted the result of
the previous hit test already. This fixes the problem on Windows
but also helps Gtk a little bit.
Curiously, the Cocoa-based UI never suffered from any of these
problems. To my understanding (it's somewhat underdocumented), it
processes mouse moves like Windows, but paints like Gtk.
This results in massive performance improvements for hit testing.
Files with very large amounts of entities (e.g. [1]) inflict
a delay of several seconds between moving the pointer and
highlighting an entity in commit HEAD^^^, whereas in this commit
the delay is barely perceptible.

Before this commit, trying to export image on *nix platforms yielded
a black rectangle, since since there is nowhere to render to
when we're not in a GUI toolkit draw callback.
On Windows, nothing changes: we do a repaint without the toolbar,
glReadPixels, export. On *nix, we create another offscreen rendering
context, render into it, then destroy it. As a bonus this avoids
some minor flickering that would happen if we reused the regular
rendering path.
We had to fork libdxfrw since the upstream doesn't have a git
repository, a CMake buildsystem, and is quite buggy.
libdxfrw is also used in LibreCAD, but they just vendored
their version.
Before this commit, if a pt-line-distance constraint is placed so
that the dimension line doesn't touch the line, no extension is
drawn. After this commit, an extension line will be drawn towards
the nearest end of the line.
This is an artificial restriction that serves no useful purpose.
Just switch to the previous group if asked to delete the current
one.
The ClearSuper() calls are reshuffled, since TW.ClearSuper() calls
TW.Show() and so has to be called while the sketch is still valid,
whereas GW.ClearSuper() also recreates the default group and thus
it should be called after the first RemoveById+GenerateAll pair,
or it'll recreate the default group before the entities on it have
a chance to be pruned.
Switching active group by itself is not an editing but a viewing
action; the active group is not recorded in the savefile. However,
the entity visibility status is, and this is annoying when source
control is used, because e.g. looking up dimensions in one of
the inner groups whose display was turned off ends up changing
the savefile.
When the display has to be turned on manually, this modification
of the file becomes explicit, so there's no longer any question
of what action modified the file.
This can also be convenient when inserting a group in the middle
of the stack, which will be implemented in the future.
Most of these were just converting char* into std::string back and
forth; some more used ReadUTF8, which was converted to use nicer
STL-style iterators over UTF-8 text.
The remaining ones are:
* arguments to Expr::From, which we'll change when refactoring
the expression lexer;
* arguments to varargs functions, which we'll change when adding
localization (that requires custom printf-style functions to
allow for changing argument order);
* arguments where only string literals are ever passed, which
are OK;
* in platform-specific code, which is OK.
CMake can properly quote inputs to custom commands itself; this is
governed by the VERBATIM flag. If we pass this flag, no quoting
needs to be done except for compiler/linker flags and diagnostic
messages, as CMake doesn't treat whitespace expanded from variables
the same way it treats whitespace that separates arguments.
Scoped "Zoom to Fit" is convenient for working on large models.
I (whitequark) have considered a separate shortcut, but its
usefulness is unclear and in any case it can be easily added
if desired.
In my (whitequark's) experience this warning tends to expose
copy-paste errors with a high SNR, so making a few fragments
slightly less symmetric is worth it.
Also mollify -Wlogical-op-parentheses while we're at it.
After commit 2f734d9, inactive groups are no longer regenerated
for trivial changes, e.g. changing parameters, so it's possible to
switch to an earlier group and work on it without incurring
the computational (slowdown) and cognitive (annoyance by red
background) overhead of later groups failing to solve.
However, if a group--any group anywhere--was not solved OK,
the interface reacted accordingly, which diminished usefulness of
the change, especially given that, if we have groups A and B with
B depending on A, if B is broken by a change in A and we activate A
and fix it, B will not be regenerated.
After this commit, only active groups are considered when deciding
if generating the entire sketch would fail.
This font is less complete than our bitmap font, Unifont: Unifont
has essentially complete Unicode coverage and LibreCAD's font only
has Latin, Cyrillic and Japanese, but it can be extended rather
easily, so this should be fine for now.
These embedded fonts fatten glhelper.o quite a bit:
bitmapfont.table.h is about 8M in gzip-compressed bitmaps and
vectorfont.table.h is about 2M in raw vector data.
In spite of that it takes just around five seconds to build
glhelper.c on my laptop, so it should be fine.
The final executable grows from about 2M to about 8M, but this
is a small price to pay for fairly extensive i18n support.
The new font has somewhat different metrics, so the rendering
code has been fudged to make it look good.
Benefits:
* Much simpler code.
* Handles the entire TTF spec, not just a small subset that
only really worked well on Windows fonts.
* Handles all character sets as well as accented characters.
* Much faster parsing, since Freetype lazily loads and
caches glyphs.
* Support for basically every kind of font that was invented,
not just TTF.
Note that OpenType features, e.g. ligatures, are not yet supported.
This means that Arabic and Devanagari scripts, among others, will
not be rendered in their proper form.
RTL scripts are not supported either, neither in TTF nor in
the text window. Adding RTL support is comparatively easy, but
given that Arabic would not be legibly rendered anyway, this is not
done so far.
We are going to use freetype instead of the old custom TTF parser,
since the old parser has many annoying bugs when handling non-Latin
fonts and fixing it is not really worth the time.
On Windows, Freetype is built from a submodule.
On Linux and OS X, Freetype is provided together with the desktop,
though development files have to be installed separately.
Commit 89eb208 has improved the overall situation with chord
tolerance, but it changed the display chord tolerance to use
an absolute value in millimeters as a stopgap measure.
This commit changes the display chord tolerance to be specified
in percents of entity bounding box instead of millimeters.
As a result, the linearized curves are both zoom level and sketch
scale independent.
In order to compute the bounding box, all entities are generated
twice. However, this shouldn't result in a noticeable slowdown,
since the bounding box calculation does not need the expensive
triangle mesh generation and the solver will converge immediately
on the second run.
Since the meaning of the preference has changed, a new name is
used (ChordTolerancePct instead of ChordTolerance), so that it
would be reset to the default value after updating SolveSpace.
The default value, 0.5%, was selected using trial and error by
judging whether cylinders of moderate dimensions were looking
aesthetically pleasing enough.
After this change, the only real function of the spacebar
shortcut is to reload imported groups, since manual regeneration
should not change anything anymore unless there is a bug.
Before this commit, a single chord tolerance was used for both
displaying and exporting geometry. Moreover, this chord tolerance
was specified in screen pixels, and as such depended on zoom level.
This was inconvenient: exporting geometry with a required level of
precision required awkward manipulations of viewport. Moreover,
since some operations, e.g. mesh watertightness checking, were done
on triangle meshes which are generated differently depending on
the zoom level, these operations could report wildly different
and quite confusing results depending on zoom level.
The chord tolerance for display and export pursue completely distinct
goals: display chord tolerance should be set high enough to achieve
both fast regeneration and legible rendering, whereas export chord
tolerance should be set to match the dimension tolerance of
the fabrication process.
This commit introduces two distinct chord tolerances: a display
and an export one. Both chord tolerances are absolute and expressed
in millimeters; this is inappropriate for display purposes but
will be fixed in the next commits.
After exporting, the geometry is redrawn with the chord tolerance
configured for the export and an overlay message is displayed;
pressing Esc clears the message and returns the display back to
normal.
Instead of always using two points on every curve, with a hack for
some cubics edge case, use three points on the first iteration and
one point on every further iteration. This both faster and more
correct.
Before this change, groups and their meshes were generated even past
the active group, which, in cause the mesh was broken, caused red
marks to appear for no apparent reason. Furthermore, it unnecessarily
slows down regeneration.
Instead, grab it from hoveredRow, since almost always (with only one
exception) this is where the edit control has to be shown.
This makes it much easier to adjust views, e.g. add a new editable
field in the middle of configuration view, because it's not necessary
to manually change and test all the indexes below the row being
changed.
Additionally, it removes a lot of awkward and opaque row calculations.
The commit 11f29b123 has replaced most of the uses of sprintf,
but there were still many remaining in Screen* functions, and it
was annoyingly inconsistent. Moreover, while most usage of sprintf
there was fine, it is bad hygiene to leave stack overflow prone
code around.
It's not possible to put non-POD elements in a union, and a struct
with accessors is a more elegant solution than a union with POD
elements and explicit casts for the rest.
This setting is generally useful, but it especially shines when
assembling, since the "same orientation" and "parallel" constraints
remove three and two rotational degrees of freedom, which makes them
impossible to use with 3d "point on line" constraint that removes
two spatial and two rotational degrees of freedom.
The setting is not enabled for all imported groups by default
because it exhibits some edge case failures. For example:
* draw two line segments sharing a point,
* constrain lengths of line segments,
* constrain line segments perpendicular,
* constrain line segments to a 90° angle.
This is a truly degenerate case and so it is not considered very
important. However, we can fix this later by using Eigen::SparseQR.
Before this commit, overconstraining a system past a certain point
resulted in a wrong error message: instead of "redundant constraints",
"unsolvable constraints" was displayed.
To reproduce, place more six or more length constraints with the same
value onto the same line segment.
When a solver error arises after a change to the sketch, it should
be easy to understand exactly why it happened. Before this change,
two functionally distinct modes of failure were lumped into one:
the same "redundant constraints" message was displayed when all
degrees of freedom were exhausted and the had a solution, but also
when it had not.
To understand why this is problematic, let's examine several ways
in which we can end up with linearly dependent equations in our
system:
0) create a triangle, then constrain two different pairs of edges
to be perpendicular
1) add two distinct distance constraints on the same segment
2) add two identical distance constraints on the same segment
3) create a triangle, then constrain edges to lengths a, b, and c
so that a+b=c
The case (0) is our baseline case: the constraints in it make
the system unsolvable yet they do not remove more degrees of freedom
than the amount we started with. So the displayed error is
"unsolvable constraints".
The constraints in case (1) remove one too many degrees of freedom,
but otherwise are quite like the case (0): the cause of failure that
is useful to the user is that the constraints are mutually
incompatible.
The constraints in cases (2) and (3) however are not like the others:
there is a set of parameters that satisfies all of the constraints,
but the constraints still remove one degree of freedom too many.
It makes sense to display a different error message for cases (2)
and (3) because in practice, cases like this are likely to arise from
adjustment of constraint values on sketches corresponding to systems
that have a small amount of degenerate solutions, and this is very
different from systems arising in cases like (0) where no adjustment
of constraint values will ever result in a successful solution.
So the error message displayed is "redundant constraints".
At last, this commit makes cases (0) and (1) display a message
with only a minor difference in wording. This is deliberate.
The reason is that the facts "the system is unsolvable" and
"the system is unsolvable and also has linearly dependent equations"
present no meaningful, actionable difference to the user, and placing
emphasis on it would only cause confusion.
However, they are still distinguished, because in case (0) we
list all relevant constraints (and thus we say they are "mutually
incompatible") but in case (1) we only list the ones that constrain
the sketch further than some valid solution (and we say they are
"unsatisfied").
Before this change, it was possible to adjust constraints in a way
that removes a degree of freedom and makes the sketch unsolvable,
but rank test was performed before solving the system, and an error
was not displayed immediately. Instead, a solution would seemingly
be found, but it would be very unstable--unrelated changes to
the sketch would cause rank test to fail.
To reproduce the bug, do this:
* Draw a triangle.
* Create a length constraint for all sides.
* Set side lengths to a, b, and c such that a + b = c.
* Add a line segment.
The current messages accurately reflect what happens to the system
of equations that represents the sketch, but can be quite confusing
to users that only think in terms of the constraints.
We use "unsolvable" and not "impossible" because while most of
the cases that result in this error message will indeed stem from
mutually exclusive sets of constraints, it is still possible that
there is some solution that our solver is unable to find using
numeric methods.
After commit 11f29b12, we no longer have a convenient way to indicate
that the edit control should be moved without changing its contents;
the old code trying to do this caused a crash, since constructing
an std::string from a NULL char* is invalid.
This went undetected during testing, since on Linux, recent
GTK versions will munge scroll events while the edit box has
a modal grab.
I could've fixed the feature, but opted to remove it, since being able
to scroll the edit box out of visible region is more likely to result
in confusion than ever be useful.
Most people just want a single self-contained .html file, but more
advanced usage will involve embedding in a webpage, where the default
viewer would be copied and customized, and fed with bare mesh export.
Make the union anonymous so that its elements can be addressed
directly. Then, move the Expr *b field into the union, as it
already is never used at the same time as any of the union members.
It works. Mostly. Sort of. Only on Windows fonts. Sometimes it
randomly refuses to render glyphs (try `х`, that's not a latin ex).
I'm not really sure why, the logic seems right.
Why do we have a homegrown TTF parser anyway? It's kind of awful.
It breaks on any slightly unusual input. It plows through UTF-16BE
font names like a nuclear-powered steamroller. It outright ignores
composite glyphs (is that why it's broken this time?). The kerning
is seizure-inducing. It ignores any characters outside BMP by design.
Maybe we should just replace it with freetype.
This removes the arbitrary 64 byte restriction (which effectively
limits us to as little as 16 Unicode characters with CJK encodings),
makes classes smaller, and is easier to use.
As a consequence of making the length of all ex-NameStr fields
unbounded, all functions that returned a buffer derived from those
were changed to return std::string. Then, functions that are
contextually similar to the ones described above were changed
to return std::string. Then, functions that now happened to mostly
take an std::string argument converted to a C string were changed
to accept std::string.
This has produced a bit of churn, but is probably for the better.
Now it is possible to give non-ASCII names to groups
as well as see non-ASCII filenames of imported files.
In the future this makes localization possible.
This works for LTR languages, such as European and CJK,
but not RTL such as Arabic. Does Arabic even exist in
monospaced form? I have no idea.
After this commit, SolveSpace can robustly handle non-ASCII filenames
on every OS. Additionally, on Windows, filenames longer than 260
characeters can be used, and files on network shares can be opened
directly, without mounting them as a network drive.
After this commit, SolveSpace always uses UTF-8 strings internally
(represented as char* and std::string) on every OS, for everything:
UI labels, paths and user input. OS X always uses UTF-8; on Windows,
strings are converted at boundary; and on Linux/BSD/etc SolveSpace
refuses to start unless the current locale is UTF-8. This will
negatively affect literally no one.
This commit does not bring forth any user-visible improvement yet;
in order to correctly handle Unicode in filenames, it is still
necessary to change the fopen calls to _wfopen on Windows.
After this commit, SolveSpace deals with paths as follows:
* Paths are generally treated as opaque platform-specific strings.
This helps on Linux, because paths on Linux don't have any
specific encoding and it helps to avoid any operations on them.
* The UI in some places wants to get a basename. In this case,
the newly introduced PATH_SEP is used. This allows to treat
backslash as a regular character, which it is on Linux and OS X.
* The only place where any nontrivial operations on paths are
performed is the g->impFile/impFileRel logic.
Specifically, when saved, g->impFile always contains an absolute
path with separators of the current platform, and g->impFileRel
always contains a relative path with UNIX separators. This allows
to treat backslash as a regular character.
Old files will contain g->impFileRel with Windows separators;
these are detected by looking for a drive letter in g->impFile
and in that case mapping Windows separators to UNIX ones.
There is no need to treat UNIX separators (forward slashes) in
any special way on Windows because there is no way on Windows,
not even via UNC paths, to create or address a directory entry
with a forward slash in its name.
What do we gain from this? Several things.
* First, usage of PATH_MAX (the POSIX constant) is eliminated.
PATH_MAX is actually a lie; Linux and OS X (and probably other BSDs
too) do not have an actual path length limit. Linux claims 4096,
OS X claims 1024, but it is trivial to construct paths that are
longer.
* Second, while Windows does enforce a limit of MAX_PATH (the Win32
constant) for its ASCII functions, the Unicode variants, when
used with UNC paths, do not have this restriction.
The capability to use UNC paths is useful by itself, as it allows
to access files on network shares directly.
* Third, representing paths as std::string will make it easier to
interoperate with *W WinAPI functions later.
On Windows, freeze.{cpp,h} was factored into w32main.cpp.
The old implementation was too redundant and leaked registry
key handles.
On all platforms, Cnf* functions now use std::string.
This simplifies code everywhere, but will be particularly useful
when the Windows port switches to the *W WinAPI functions.
This is necessary to store non-POD classes in these containers.
Note that List and IdList do not use MemRealloc anymore;
this is necessarily (slightly) less efficient, but is the right
semantics, as you cannot just move non-POD types, e.g. std::string,
around in memory. All STL containers provide the same guarantees
and share the performance hit.
The slowdown is mostly mitigated by moving the contained objects,
so that no additional heap allocations or copies occur beyond
that of the object itself.
This will allow us to use non-POD classes inside these objects
in future and is otherwise functionally equivalent, as well
as more concise.
Note that there are some subtleties with handling of
brace-initialization. Specifically:
On aggregates (e.g. simple C-style structures) using an empty
brace-initializer zero-initializes the aggregate, i.e. it makes
all members zero.
On non-aggregates an empty brace-initializer calls the default
constructor. And if the constructor doesn't explicitly initialize
the members (which the auto-generated constructor doesn't) then
the members will be constructed but otherwise uninitialized.
So, what is an aggregate class? To quote the C++ standard
(C++03 8.5.1 §1):
An aggregate is an array or a class (clause 9) with no
user-declared constructors (12.1), no private or protected
non-static data members (clause 11), no base classes (clause 10),
and no virtual functions (10.3).
In SolveSpace, we only have to handle the case of base classes;
Constraint and Entity have those. Thus, they had to gain a default
constructor that does nothing but initializes the members to zero.
After this change, SolveSpace does not contain nonfree assets.
Additionally, Perl is not required for the build.
Note that in the US, case law suggests that copyright does
not apply to bitmap fonts:
http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/misc/Bitmap_Fonts_and_Copyright
Nevertheless, it was prudent to replace the asset with something
that is unambiguously free.
Almost all construction requests are lines, and allowing to
draw them as construction obviates the need to select them one
by one afterwards to convert them. Also, it removes the "not closed
contour" error message, which is a nice usability improvement.
This is equivalent to adding a constraint, then making it a reference.
The benefits are that:
* it's quicker;
* it avoids having an over-constrained system, with an associated
angry red flash and a regeneration delay.
The latter in particular is a very substantial usability improvement.
The reference distance command is useful most of the time,
but the reference angle one is also added for consistency.
The main benefit is that std::swap will ensure that the type
of arguments is copy-constructible and move-constructible.
It is more concise as well.
When min and max are defined as macros, they will conflict
with STL header files included by other C++ libraries;
in this case STL will #undef any other definition.
As a side effect, zlib and libpng are now git submodules,
based on their respective official git repositories.
This is necessary, because MinGW has a different ABI and
it cannot use the prebuilt binaries built by MSVC.
The submodules are also used for Windows, for several reasons:
* to allow 64-bit builds;
* to allow using newer MSVC, which doesn't like the prebuilt
libraries;

Some extra code is necessary to determine that the back faces
should not be drawn in red for transparent solids. It is expected
that the user will first ensure that the shell is watertight
and then set the opacity; back faces are still drawn if
the opacity is exactly 1.
The savefile format is changed backwards-compatibly by stashing
the alpha value in uppermost byte of 4-byte hex color value
in Surface and Triangle clauses. The existing files have 00
in the high byte, so RgbColor::FromPackedInt treats that
as "opaque".
