These files provide auxiliary functions used by the Draft workbench.
|
|
|
|
Previously most of these functions were defined in `Draft.py`,
|
|
`DraftTools.py`, and `DraftGui.py`. However, due to being defined in these
|
|
big modules, it was impossible to use them individually without importing
|
|
the entire modules. So a decision was made to split the functions
|
|
into smaller modules.
|
|
|
|
In here we want modules with generic functions that can be used everywhere
|
|
in the workbench. We want these tools to depend only on standard Python
|
|
modules and basic FreeCAD methods so that there are no circular dependencies,
|
|
and so that they can be used by all functions and graphical commands
|
|
in this workbench, and others if possible.
|
|
- `utils`: basic functions
|
|
- `messages`: used to print messages
|
|
- `translate`: used to translate texts
|
|
- `init_tools`: used to initialize the workbench (toolbars and menus)
|
|
- `todo`: used to delay execution of certain graphical commands
|
|
|
|
Some auxiliary functions require that the graphical interface is loaded
|
|
as they deal with scripted objects' view providers or the 3D view.
|
|
- `gui_utils`: basic functions dealing with the graphical interface
|
|
- `init_draft_statusbar`: functions to initialize the status bar
|
|
|
