scenepic - v1.1.0

This minor release marks the first major Milestone release of Scenepic. This release addresses many of the long-standing issues in the v1.0.0 release and adds new features and functionality as well.

Features

Text burning into individual video frames (for VideoWriter
Per-frame layer settings
The dropdown menu visibility can be directly controlled via UIParameters
A standalone parameter has been added to save_as_script to enable the creation of standalone scripts.
The status_bar_visibility of a Scene can now be set (i.e. it is now possible to hide the status bar if desired.)
There is now a new camera control mode, "First Person", accessible by pressing Tab, which enables mouse-look and wasdqe movement controls. The old mode, now called "Focus", is still available as the default.
Font scale is now configurable on VideoWriter
There is now a "reset camera" button on the control bar so that users without a keyboard can reset camera position
Can now update colors per frame for both meshes and instanced meshes
quaternion_multiply adds the long-missing code to combine quaternion rotations
Camera.orbit creates a sequence of orbiting cameras around a central point
Can specify text alignment and size for graph labels and values
Can add vertical rules to separate out horizontal regions of the graph
save_html can now separate out the script and library components (for easier testing of new Typescript library features)
Keyboard shortcuts for toggling layer visibility.
Ability to pick the centroid of a mesh as a focus point by clicking on it while in focus point selection mode.
Pan/zoom functionality to 2D canvases.
Full pinch, zoom and rotate with two fingers is now supported

Improvements

Added new hello_scenepic.py and hello_scenepic.cpp example code
Added a clang-format pipeline and build targets
Normalized C++ file format
Stub files for all classes properly expose the docstrings in VS Code and other editors, thus making development in Python considerably easier.
The missing methods for a variety of classes have been added to the python docs
The version of pybind11 has been bumped to the latest release
Notebooks that contain scenepic are now correctly displayed in Jupyter notebooks within VS Code

Bug Fixes

load_obj now correctly loads normals when present in the OBJ file
MeshInfo now exposes normals
C++ build typos now fixed
Fixed erroneous pipeline triggers
While transparent backgrounds were supported by the library, it was not exposed via the client APIs. This has been fixed via a 4D color parameter for Shading.
Coordinate axes bug
Negative angle bug
Mesh Update for instanced meshes
Standalone scripts were missing a newline as a result of recent NPM changes. This is now added in manually in the script generation process.
Dropdown menus will now correctly appear on top of canvases in the z-order
Dropdown menus will align on the opposite side if not doing so would result appearing outside the viewbox

Deprecated

update_mesh_without_normals has been deprecated in favor of the new method update_mesh_positions

scenepic - v1.0.16

Point release fixing an issue with Jupyter rendering order.

Previously, when a Jupyter notebook containing Scenepic cells was loaded after having been saved, the outputs would appear out of order within the notebook. Also, the full library was written into each cell, resulting in a lot of duplicate Javascript for notebooks which included heavy use of the library. The new solution uses a few elements to avoid this:

The library is written as an external script file in the same directory as the notebook. This has the advantage of making debugging the Typescript library easier (this is a return to previous functionality).
The library is loaded once via a single script tag
Each cell is assigned a unique ID that is used by scenepic to target it
When reloading a saved notebook, order is preserved due to the use of the unique ids.
