Enumeration Type Documentation

◆ eStringPropertySearchFlag

Enumerator
PROP_STRING_SEARCH_SUPPORTED 

Used so the result of RNA_property_string_search_flag can be used to check if search is supported.

PROP_STRING_SEARCH_SORT 

Items resulting from the search must be sorted.

PROP_STRING_SEARCH_SUGGESTION 

Allow members besides the ones listed to be entered.

Warning
disabling this options causes the search callback to run on redraw and should only be enabled this doesn't cause performance issues.

Definition at line 570 of file RNA_types.hh.

◆ FunctionFlag

Options affecting callback signature.

Those add additional parameters at the beginning of the C callback, like that:

rna_my_func([ID *_selfid],
            [<DNA_STRUCT> *self|StructRNA *type],
            [Main *bmain],
            [bContext *C],
            [ReportList *reports],
            <other RNA-defined parameters>);
Enumerator
FUNC_USE_SELF_ID 

Pass ID owning 'self' data (i.e. ptr->owner_id, might be same as self in case data is an ID...).

FUNC_NO_SELF 

Do not pass the object (DNA struct pointer) from which it is called, used to define static or class functions.

FUNC_USE_SELF_TYPE 

Pass RNA type, used to define class functions, only valid when FUNC_NO_SELF is set.

FUNC_USE_MAIN 
FUNC_USE_CONTEXT 
FUNC_USE_REPORTS 
FUNC_REGISTER 

This function is part of the registerable class' interface, and can be implemented/redefined in Python.

FUNC_REGISTER_OPTIONAL 

Subclasses can choose not to implement this function.

FUNC_ALLOW_WRITE 

If not set, the Python function implementing this call is not allowed to write into data-blocks. Except for WindowManager and Screen currently, see rna_id_write_error() in bpy_rna.cc.

FUNC_BUILTIN 

UNUSED CURRENTLY? ???

FUNC_EXPORT 

UNUSED CURRENTLY. ???

FUNC_RUNTIME 

Function has been defined at runtime, not statically in RNA source code.

FUNC_FREE_POINTERS 

UNUSED CURRENTLY? Function owns its identifier and description strings, and has to free them when deleted.

Definition at line 662 of file RNA_types.hh.

◆ ParameterFlag

Function parameters flags.

Warning
16bits only.
Enumerator
PARM_REQUIRED 
PARM_OUTPUT 
PARM_RNAPTR 
PARM_PYFUNC_OPTIONAL 

This allows for non-breaking API updates, when adding non-critical new parameter to a callback function. This way, old Python code defining functions without that parameter would still work. WARNING: any parameter after the first PYFUNC_OPTIONAL one will be considered as optional!

Note
only for input parameters!

Definition at line 396 of file RNA_types.hh.

◆ PropertyFlag

Enumerator
PROP_EDITABLE 

Editable means the property is editable in the user interface, properties are editable by default except for pointers and collections.

PROP_LIB_EXCEPTION 

This property is editable even if it is lib linked, meaning it will get lost on reload, but it's useful for editing.

PROP_ANIMATABLE 

Animatable means the property can be driven by some other input, be it animation curves, expressions, .. properties are animatable by default except for pointers and collections.

PROP_TEXTEDIT_UPDATE 

This flag means when the property's widget is in 'text-edit' mode, it will be updated after every typed char, instead of waiting final validation. Used e.g. for text search-box. It will also cause UI_BUT_VALUE_CLEAR to be set for text buttons. We could add a separate flag for search/filter properties, but this works just fine for now.

PROP_ICONS_CONSECUTIVE 
PROP_ICONS_REVERSE 
PROP_HIDDEN 

Hide in the user interface. That is, from auto-generated operator property UIs (like the redo panel) and the outliner "Data API" display mode. Does not hide it in the keymap UI.

Also don't save in presets, as if PROP_SKIP_PRESET was set.

PROP_SKIP_SAVE 

Doesn't preserve the last value for repeated operator calls.

Also don't save in presets, as if PROP_SKIP_PRESET was set.

PROP_PROPORTIONAL 

Each value is related proportionally (object scale, image size).

PROP_ID_REFCOUNT 
PROP_ID_SELF_CHECK 

Disallow assigning a variable to itself, eg an object tracking itself only apply this to types that are derived from an ID ().

PROP_NEVER_NULL 

Use for...

  • pointers: in the UI and python so unsetting or setting to None won't work.
  • strings: so our internal generated get/length/set functions know to do NULL checks before access #30865.
PROP_NEVER_UNLINK 

Currently only used for UI, this is similar to PROP_NEVER_NULL except that the value may be NULL at times, used for ObData, where an Empty's will be NULL but setting NULL on a mesh object is not possible. So if it's not NULL, setting NULL can't be done!

PROP_PTR_NO_OWNERSHIP 

Pointers to data that is not owned by the struct. Typical example: Bone.parent, Bone.child, etc., and nearly all ID pointers. This is crucial information for processes that walk the whole data of an ID e.g. (like library override). Note that all ID pointers are enforced to this by default, this probably will need to be rechecked (see ugly infamous node-trees of material/texture/scene/etc.).

PROP_ENUM_FLAG 

flag contains multiple enums. NOTE: not to be confused with prop->enumbitflags this exposes the flag as multiple options in python and the UI.

Note
These can't be animated so use with care.
PROP_CONTEXT_UPDATE 
PROP_CONTEXT_PROPERTY_UPDATE 
PROP_REGISTER 
PROP_REGISTER_OPTIONAL 
PROP_THICK_WRAP 

Use for allocated function return values of arrays or strings for any data that should not have a reference kept.

It can be used for properties which are dynamically allocated too.

Note
Currently dynamic sized thick wrapped data isn't supported. This would be a useful addition and avoid a fixed maximum sized as in done at the moment.
PROP_IDPROPERTY 

This is an IDProperty, not a DNA one.

PROP_DYNAMIC 

For dynamic arrays & return values of type string.

PROP_ENUM_NO_CONTEXT 

For enum that shouldn't be contextual

PROP_ENUM_NO_TRANSLATE 

For enums not to be translated (e.g. view-layers' names in nodes).

PROP_NO_DEG_UPDATE 

Don't do dependency graph tag from a property update callback. Use this for properties which defines interface state, for example, properties which denotes whether modifier panel is collapsed or not.

PROP_DEG_SYNC_ONLY 

Property needs to ensure evaluated data-blocks are in sync with their original counter-part but the property does not affect evaluation itself.

PROP_PATH_OUTPUT 

File-paths that refer to output get a special treatment such as having the +/- operators available in the file browser.

PROP_SKIP_PRESET 

Do not write in presets (PROP_HIDDEN and PROP_SKIP_SAVE won't either).

Definition at line 201 of file RNA_types.hh.

◆ PropertyOverrideFlag

Flags related to comparing and overriding RNA properties. Make sure enums are updated with these.

FREE FLAGS: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12 and above.

Enumerator
PROPOVERRIDE_OVERRIDABLE_LIBRARY 

Means that the property can be overridden by a local override of some linked datablock.

PROPOVERRIDE_NO_COMPARISON 

Forbid usage of this property in comparison (& hence override) code. Useful e.g. for collections of data like mesh's geometry, particles, etc. Also for runtime data that should never be considered as part of actual Blend data (e.g. depsgraph from ViewLayers...).

PROPOVERRIDE_IGNORE 

Means the property can be fully ignored by override process. Unlike NO_COMPARISON, it can still be used by diffing code, but no override operation will be created for it, and no attempt to restore the data from linked reference either.

WARNING: This flag should be used with a lot of caution, as it completely by-passes override system. It is currently only used for ID's names, since we cannot prevent local override to get a different name from the linked reference, and ID names are 'rna name property' (i.e. are used in overrides of collections of IDs). See also BKE_lib_override_library_update() where we deal manually with the value of that property at DNA level.

PROPOVERRIDE_LIBRARY_INSERTION 

The property supports insertion (collections only).

PROPOVERRIDE_NO_PROP_NAME 

Only use indices to compare items in the property, never names (collections only).

Useful when StructRNA::nameproperty of the items is generated from other data (e.g. name of material slots is actually name of assigned material).

Definition at line 353 of file RNA_types.hh.

◆ PropertyScaleType

Use values besides PROP_SCALE_LINEAR so the movement of the mouse doesn't map linearly to the value of the slider.

For some settings it's useful to space motion in a non-linear way, see #77868.

NOTE: The scale types are available for all float sliders. For integer sliders they are only available if they use the visible value bar. Sliders with logarithmic scale and value bar must have a range > 0 while logarithmic sliders without the value bar can have a range of >= 0.

Enumerator
PROP_SCALE_LINEAR 

Linear scale (default).

PROP_SCALE_LOG 

Logarithmic scale

  • Maximum range: 0 <= x < inf
PROP_SCALE_CUBIC 

Cubic scale.

  • Maximum range: -inf < x < inf

Definition at line 106 of file RNA_types.hh.

◆ PropertySubType

Note
Also update enums in bpy_props.cc and rna_rna.cc when adding items here. Watch it: these values are written to files as part of node socket button sub-types!
Enumerator
PROP_NONE 
PROP_FILEPATH 
PROP_DIRPATH 
PROP_FILENAME 
PROP_BYTESTRING 

A string which should be represented as bytes in python, NULL terminated though.

PROP_PASSWORD 

A string which should not be displayed in UI.

PROP_PIXEL 

A dimension in pixel units, possibly before DPI scaling (so value may not be the final pixel value but the one to apply DPI scale to).

PROP_UNSIGNED 
PROP_PERCENTAGE 
PROP_FACTOR 
PROP_ANGLE 
PROP_TIME 
PROP_TIME_ABSOLUTE 
PROP_DISTANCE 

Distance in 3d space, don't use for pixel distance for eg.

PROP_DISTANCE_CAMERA 
PROP_COLOR 
PROP_TRANSLATION 
PROP_DIRECTION 
PROP_VELOCITY 
PROP_ACCELERATION 
PROP_MATRIX 
PROP_EULER 
PROP_QUATERNION 
PROP_AXISANGLE 
PROP_XYZ 
PROP_XYZ_LENGTH 
PROP_COLOR_GAMMA 

Used for colors which would be color managed before display.

PROP_COORDS

◆ StructFlag

enum StructFlag
Enumerator
STRUCT_ID 

Indicates that this struct is an ID struct, and to use reference-counting.

STRUCT_ID_REFCOUNT 
STRUCT_UNDO 

defaults on, indicates when changes in members of a StructRNA should trigger undo steps.

STRUCT_RUNTIME 
STRUCT_FREE_POINTERS 
STRUCT_NO_IDPROPERTIES 

Menus and Panels don't need properties

STRUCT_NO_DATABLOCK_IDPROPERTIES 

e.g. for Operator

STRUCT_CONTAINS_DATABLOCK_IDPROPERTIES 

for PropertyGroup which contains pointers to datablocks

STRUCT_PUBLIC_NAMESPACE 

Added to type-map BlenderRNA.structs_map

STRUCT_PUBLIC_NAMESPACE_INHERIT 

All sub-types are added too.

STRUCT_NO_CONTEXT_WITHOUT_OWNER_ID 

When the PointerRNA.owner_id is NULL, this signifies the property should be accessed without any context (the key-map UI and import/export for example). So accessing the property should not read from the current context to derive values/limits.
