This fixes all our GObject Introspection issues with GimpUnit which was
both an enum and an int-derived type of user-defined units *completing*
the enum values. GIR clearly didn't like this!
Now GimpUnit is a proper class and units are unique objects, allowing to
compare them with an identity test (i.e. `unit == gimp_unit_pixel ()`
tells us if unit is the pixel unit or not), which makes it easy to use,
just like with int, yet adding also methods, making for nicer
introspected API.
As an aside, this also fixes#10738, by having all the built-in units
retrievable even if libgimpbase had not been properly initialized with
gimp_base_init().
I haven't checked in details how GIR works to introspect, but it looks
like it loads the library to inspect and runs functions, hence
triggering some CRITICALS because virtual methods (supposed to be
initialized with gimp_base_init() run by libgimp) are not set. This new
code won't trigger any critical because the vtable method are now not
necessary, at least for all built-in units.
Note that GimpUnit is still in libgimpbase. It could have been moved to
libgimp in order to avoid any virtual method table (since we need to
keep core and libgimp side's units in sync, PDB is required), but too
many libgimpwidgets widgets were already using GimpUnit. And technically
most of GimpUnit logic doesn't require PDB (only the creation/sync
part). This is one of the reasons why user-created GimpUnit list is
handled and stored differently from other types of objects.
Globally this simplifies the code a lot too and we don't need separate
implementations of various utils for core and libgimp, which means less
prone to errors.
...to paths
Follow-up to d0bdbdfd. Changes all
gimp_vectors_* () PDB to gimp_path_* ()
and renames relevant PDB files from
vectors to path.
The next step will be to rename
GimpVectors in libgimp to GimpPath,
removing the last (public) trace of it.
Also:
- renaming gimp_layer_group_new() to gimp_group_layer_new() in order to keep the
same name as in core code (i.e. GimpGroupLayer, not GimpLayerGroup).
- renaming gimp_image_merge_layer_group() to gimp_group_layer_merge()
- new functions: gimp_procedure_add_group_layer_argument(),
gimp_procedure_add_group_layer_aux_argument() and
gimp_procedure_add_group_layer_return_value().
This can be tested, e.g. in Python with these calls:
```py
i = Gimp.get_images()[0]
g = Gimp.GroupLayer.new(i, "hello")
i.insert_layer(g, None, 1)
g2 = Gimp.GroupLayer.new(i, "world")
i.insert_layer(g2, g, 1)
g.merge()
```
This was work started long ago, stored in an old stash which I finally
finish now! :-)
Similarly to the various GimpResource select PDB calls, this allows to call a
core dialog in order to choose a drawable which will be returned back to the
calling plug-in.
This new GimpPickableSelect dialog is a subclass of GimpPdbDialog and uses the
same GimpPickableChooser widget as GimpPickablePopup, except that since it's
inter-process window management, it is harder to make a popup positioned
accurately relatively to a parent (especially on Wayland). This is why it's a
separate widget as a simpler dialog (which we will still try to make transient
as much as possible across platforms).
Much like for images and items. Change the PDB to transmit IDs
instead of names for brush, pattern etc. and refactor a whole
lot of libgimp code to deal with it.
modified: libgimp/gimpplugin-private.h
So procedures can declare args and GimpProcedureDialog show chooser
widgets
Fix so is no error dialog on id_is_valid for resources
Palette.pdb changes and testing
Memory mgt changes
Gradient pdb
Font and Pattern tests
Test brush, palette
Cleanup, remove generator
Rebase, edit docs, install test-dialog.py
Whitespace, and fix failed distcheck
Fix some clang-format, fix fail distcheck
Fix distcheck
Cleanup from review Jehan
They only contain private functions and don't need to be installed or
included by gimp_pdb_headers.h.
The PDB generation part is done by adding a "lib_private" variable
that can be set on PDB groups which should not be public API; the rest
is manual Makefile fiddling.
Add new PDB group "drawable_edit" which has all procedures from the
"edit" group which are not cut/copy/paste.
The new group's procedures don't have opacity, paint_mode
etc. arguments but take them from the context instead. Unlike the old
gimp-edit-fill, gimp-drawable-edit-fill now uses the context's opacity
and paint_mode.
The new gimp-drawable-edit-gradient-fill procedure uses even more
context properties which are also newly added with this commit
(gradient_color_space, gradient_repeat_mode, gradient_reverse).
And some cleanup in context.pdb.
This is still WIP, nothing in the edit group is depcreated yet.
Add a debug procedure group, living in 'debug.pdb', which would host
useful debug helper functions. Functions in this group are not part
of the stable API, and may be changed at any point.
All procedures added to 'debug.pdb' should have a 'debug_' prefix,
and use the new std_pdb_debug() macro, which adds the proper "here be
dragons" warning to their description.
Add two debug procedures: gimp-debug-timer-start() and
gimp-debug-timer-end(), which measure elapsed time, a la
GIMP_TIMER_{START,END}, and can be used to profile script-fu
commands.
Add PDB sample point API similar to how the guide API works. Add core
API similar to the core guide API to make guide and sample point APIs
as similar as possible.
Which will have proper API to deal with an image's color profile (no
parasites, no ICC blobs). So far contains gimp_image_get_color_profile()
and gimp_image_set_color_profile().
Which contains all the API from the "color" group, but with a
gimp_drawable namespace and with support for high bit depths. The
group is actually a copy of "color" with cruft removed and some API
ported to using float instead of integer API.
Deprecated all "color" functions that already have a ported version in
"drawable_color".
This is unfinished WIP, some functions in "drawable_color" still have
the old API.
