Yay, finally it's (almost) possible to create custom meshes from pure
Python. Except that there always has to be some initial mesh to add
attributes to, and it's not yet possible to supply index data there.
This is important in case the data aren't owned by the instance but
instead referencing something else, for example the importer, a
memory-mapped file or another instance. Will get increasingly
important for zero-copy data import.
They should be named after the plural EnumSet, not the C++ enum. That
was already done for the enums in the primitives library as well as all
shader flags, but not here. They should all also contain a NONE value
for an empty set.
Breaking change, sorry. To avoid similar mistakes in the future, this is
now documented in the API Conventions page.
They're unpacked to full floats on element access and packed back from
full floats on mutable access, which makes this all very nice and
transparent. Yay Python!
That's it for now, I'll postpone half-float and matrix types for later
when these are actually needed, as it needs extra testing for the
aligned variants too.
To not have to duplicate these for each and every case, enlarging the
surface for potential bugs. Also changing the signatures to number +
identifier, instead of identifier repeated number of times. Means the
compiler won't be able to deduplicate / overlap the literals in the
binary, but is much more maintainable.
For Numpy this causes the slices to be reported as actual typed Numpy
arrays instead of typeless tuples, which is good I guess? Not sure why
that wasn't the case before, or what is the difference, and how it will
behave for sparse types such as aligned matrices.
Otherwise people wouldn't be able to conveniently use os.path, which is
an undesirable pain point. And do this for all currently exposed APIs,
not just the AbstractImporter that caused a problem.
This reverts commit 28497ec2ca.
In concrete types. Yes. Well, some of them for now, I still need to
sleep on normalized and matrix types, how it makes the most sense to
expose those. Oh, and array attributes as well.
