With the new image editor drawing there were was some mutual exclusive
functionality. When rendering the alpha was shown correctly or the pure
emissive colors were shown correctly, but never both. The cause of this
is that the image_gpu did not used the correct alpha mode when generating
gpu textures for non-images (render results, compositors viewer)
The implementation always checked the alpha_mode. Alpha mode is an
attribute for images, but aren't set for non images. This patch adds
a more detailed check to ensure that the gpu texture is premultiplied.
The issue has been tested using several bug report files and production
files.

The placement of the start and end factor and mapping settings for
curves has been quite misleading for a long time. They were in the
"Bevel" subpanel, but they aren't related to bevel because they affect
curves with only extrusion and no bevel.
This commit moves these properties to their own subpanel, labeled

The bevel type is a more useful check for graying out this property
because its effects will be apparent before choosing an object. Before,
the fill type property would only gray out with a bevel object selected.
Light rotation is supported both in world and view light orientation in

This object operator exits and frees the edit data of the
current object and enters the same mode in another one in a single step,
without going through object mode or keeping multiple edit object data
active. It is assigned to the D key.
This solves all conflicts that the right/click select keymap and the
emulate 3 button mouse produces for this operation and it is independent
of the state of Lock object modes.
Also, as the SculptSession is freed, when using Multires objects go
back to their preview resolution level, so it is possible to work on
high vertex count scenes without slowing down the viewport and other
performance problems.

This implements a new overlay that blends the bakground color over the
objects that are not in the same mode as the active object, making
them fade with the background.
This is especially needed for sculpt mode as there is no other overlay

This is intended to be used with D7510 in order to have a faster
workflow when sculpting models with multiple objects.

This new feature allows to use the strokes as an eraser of any stroke below. This is very handy to open holes in filled areas.
After running some tests, we have decided to keep the additive effect of the holdout color. To get clean holdout areas, just move the color to black to remove any additive effect. To have additive effect can be used in situations like tint slightly a transparent window with blue to simulate the glass.

This adds support for the same custom bevel profile widget used in
the bevel tool and modifier to the geometry generation for curves.
This is expecially useful for text and 2D curves with extrusion, as
it works much better than a weld & bevel modifier combination.
It can also be useful for adding quick detail to pipe-like objects.
The curve holds the CurveProfile struct and a new "Bevel Mode"
property decides which type of bevel to build, round, object, or
custom profile.
Although curves can already use another curve to make the bevel
geometry, this is a quicker way, and it also defines the profile of
just one corner of the bevel, so it isn't redundant. It's also nice
to have the same custom profile functionality wherever there is bevel.

There is no ideal solution here, but we can assume by default that we should
use the Alpha output from a texture used for transparency data.
This will break people using a dedicated B&W texture for this alpha
pass, but we cannot really handle all cases properly in this wrapper, we
only try to support the most common ones to some extent.
Adds an optional slider to the action constraint so that it can be
driven without a constraint target.
This is very helpful for more complex rigging and mechanical rigs, as it
means the action constraint can be controlled with a driver/custom
property directly, currently if we want to use a driver to control it we
must add a "dummy" bone/object inbetween to act as a control.

This commit makes grid theming more consistent and capable by adding
some new theme colors related to grid rendering.
- Add grid theme color for node editor. `UI_view2d_multi_grid_draw`
is called with TH_GRID instead of a shaded `TH_BACK`.
Also color-blend `TH_NODE_GROUP`.
- Make the movie clip editor's clip preview grid respect grid theme
color (`ED_region_grid_draw` uses color-blended `TH_GRID`).
- Add versioning code to allow fixing existing themes (the resulting
themes should visually look the same as before)
These changes did cause some inconsistencies in the movie clip editor,
even after adjusting the themes accordingly:
1. The alpha slider of the grid color affects the background and not
the grid lines themselves.
2. The grids used by graph and dopesheet mode could already be themed
in the past. Now that the clip preview's grid can also be themed,
two different modes share the same theme color.

`ctrl-F` to start the search is obviously necessary, but the clear

This adds a search bar to the properties editor. The full search for
every tab isn't included in this patch, but the interaction with
panels, searching behavior, UI, region level, and DNA changes are
included here.
The block-level search works by iterating over the block's button
groups and checking whether they match the search. If they do, they
are tagged with a flag, and the block's panel is tagged too. For
every update (text edit), the panel's expansion is set to whether
the panel has a result or not. The search also checks for matching
strings inside enums and in panel labels.
One complication to this that isn't immediately apparent is that
closed panel's subpanels have to be searched too. This adds some
complexity to the area-level panel layout code.
Possible Future Improvements:
- Use the new fuzzy search in BLI
- Reset panels to their expansion before the search started if
the user escape out of the text box.
- Open all child panels of a panel with expansion.

There are some areas that don't handle pure emissive colors well. For
example erasing alpha using 2d or 3d painting. Or blurring an image in
the compositor.
This patch makes the rendering of pure emissive colors optional. In the
side panel of the Image editor it can still be enabled when needed.
There currently isn't a better place to store it as it is related on how
the image (or a layer of the image) is created. A future design needs to
make sure that the full workflow is supported.
This commit adds a label on top of the bake operator in modular bake mode. This way users will immediately see if their current settings will allow them to bake noise, meshes or particles after baking the simulation base.

Change the reload operator to defer execution - as supporting
re-registration during execution is quite involved for a corner-case.

The old image editor has an option to enable the smooth wire drawing.
This option was stored per editor and disabled by default. This patch
connects the smooth wires in the UV/Image editor to `User Prefereces ->
Viewport -> Quality -> Smooth Wire [] Overlay`.
The old option is left in place and will be removed when the old image
editor drawing code will be removed before BCon 3.
This patch reverses use draw manager for image editor the
experimental feature. Now the new drawing is enabled by default.
Inside the experimental tab in the user preferences there is now an
option to revert back to the old drawing method.
Using this option we can easilly check if all drawing features have been
migrated over. The plan is to remove the legacy drawing before BCon 3.
This project moves the current UV/Image editor drawing to the draw manager.
Why would we do this:
**Performance**:
Current implementation would draw each texel per time. Multiple texels could be
drawn per pixel what would overwrite the previous result. You can notice this
when working with large textures. Repeat image drawing made this visible by
drawing for a small period of time and stop drawing the rest. Now the rendering
is fast and all repeated images are drawn.
**Alpha drawing**:
Current implementation would draw directly in display space. Giving incorrect
results when displaying alpha transparent images.
This addresses {T52680}, {T74709}, {T79518}
The image editor now can show emission only colors. See {D8234} for
examples.
**Current Limitations**
Using images that are larger than supported by your GPU are resized (eg larger
than 16000x16000 are resized to 8k). This leaves some blurring artifacts. It is
a low priority to add support back of displaying individual pixels of huge
images. There is a design task {T80113} with more detail.
**Implementation overview**
Introduced an Image Engine in the draw module. this engine is responsible for
drawing the texture in the main area of the UV/Image editor. The overlay engine
has a edit_uv overlay which is responsible to draw the UV's, shadows and
overlays specifically for the UV Image editor. The background + checker pattern
is drawn by the overlay_background.
The patch will allow us to share overlays between the 3d viewport and UV/Image
editor more easily. In most cases we just need to switch the `pos` with the `u`
attribute in the vertex shader.
The project can be activated in the user preferences as experimental features.
In a later commit this will be reversed.

Add a column of icons in the left gutter of the outliner for controlling
the interaction modes of objects. When an object is in a mode other than
object mode, the mode icon will draw to the left of that object. Any
other objects that are valid to be added or swapped into the mode are
drawn with a dot to the left of the object.
Clicking the dot to the left of an object will swap that object with the
current active object in the interaction mode. For edit and pose modes,
ctrl clicking the dot will add that object to the current mode.
Clicking the mode icon next to the active object removes it and all
other objects from the current mode.
The behavior is nearly identical to the previous edit/pose mode toggling
by selecting the mesh and armature datablocks, with additional support
for all interaction modes.
