context
More intuitive code flow and allows the user to undock the viewer (which
forcibly destroys and recreates the context) and the viewer will handle
creation of the new texture in said new context.
Cuts down on a lot of duplicate code between
TimelineWidget/ViewerWidget/CurveWidget/NodeParamView
and TimelinePanel/ViewerPanel/CurvePanel/ParamPanel since they all use similar
time functions.
When dragging a value in the UI, we use a "single frame update" because we want
to prioritize the currently visible frame to give visual feedback as soon as
possible. Previously, we generated a single frame InvalidateCache() signal
from the widgets themselves, but this had the major downside of not necessarily
emitting the time that the viewer was actually showing (due to either node time
transformations or times differing between the effects panels and the viewer
panels). Now, we send a different signal that viewers can handle themselves to
update the time that they're currently showing. This means the fast updating
will work no matter how many viewers are connected at whatever time each viewer
is set to.
Previews don't need to be rendered full resolution, particularly since the
preview is hardly ever 1:1 size of the sequence. The functionality to render
at lower resolutions already existed, but there was no UI for it. This commit
implements UI to set the resolution divider on the viewer.
Updating values rapidly would cause strange jitters as a
byproduct of the viewer trying to update from the renderer while
it was still working. Rather than the viewer trying to access the
the renderer, we now send textures in the initial update signal
to keep everything synchronized.
I was looking for a way to update the length value automatically with signals
and slots (rather than just checking every time the viewer time changes). This
should do the trick.
Previously, the viewer could be set up with a custom PCM file to test playback
and scrubbing. Now these functions are connected to the audio renderer to
work within the render system.
The previous iteration was fairly OpenGL-heavy. It's now been separated into
a base class that is OpenGL independent and a derived class that is
OpenGL-based. Over time this should allow for portability away from OpenGL
if necessary.
