[2023-04-03] GUI Team Demo Day

[wdanilo]

On my end, I was mainly working with different teams, but also I implemented the first version of GUI-part of the list-editor, a widget allowing you to insert, re-order, and remove elements interactively. For now, re-ordering and removing is implemented only. The rest of the operations will be implemented this week. In order to implement it, a lot of bugs/issues were fixed, including new event management system.

Merged the Vector Editor Stub. Progress of the next task was tine, due to excessive time spent on other activity (triaging issues, reviewing and testing PRs, planning etc.).

I was working on

• finishing the execution mode dropdown and its integration in current graph editor top bar.
• starting to investigate the issue around the disappearing visualizations. No solution so far.
  Overall progress that week was due to several build issues (Build fails on Windows #6145, Random build failure: ✘ [ERROR] Could not resolve "env" #6091) I encountered which required me to spend a lot of time on rebuilding our project from scratch.

I was working on widget tree on nodes. Progress on actual widget tree implementation was small due to a large number of external issues.

• Finished remaining work on alignment in manual layouts and shapes add alignment setting per shape system #6087
• Removed content_origin layout property, allowing for overflowing layout elements (used by dropdown widget) remove content_origin property from layout #6155
• Fixed a bug with missing view hierarchy updates for size-only changes (part of content_origin PR).
• Tracked down and reported a spirv-cross bug that affected all shape shaders bump shader tools version and use distribution install by default #6164
• Used fixed automatic layout to position label and dropdown widgets correctly on the node available area.
  

Next up, I'll be adding back proper port behavior (edge dragging) to the widgets. The widget tree building also needs more work in order to avoid unnecessary updates.

Last week I finished support for adding/removing execution context switch expressions on nodes (#6121) and also implemented hiding these expressions (#6136, the PR is on review).

Also, I fixed a regression introduced by a new cursor-aware behavior of the CB: #6120

Last week, I made our tooltips behave a bit better: the text is now vertically centered and they appear after a delay of half a second.

I also defined a second version of an icon for a button we're going to place next to nodes soon to enable/disable the output context.

• Finished Symbol instance ordering #6048 (memory management within GPU buffers, and Layer Symbol Partition interface).

Layer Symbol Partitions allow adding and removing instances of a symbol at specific depth-order classes (partitions). All partitions are allocated in the same set of buffers, and they are drawn together in one draw call.

• Started debugging hardware-specific performance problems: Hardware-specific performance problems #6030.
