[Bf-committers] Turntable view patch

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

I have troubles interpreting the patch... usually I don't apply patches  
to my code without first fully understanding the changes. This is in a  
format I don't recognize.

Can you try to do a "cvs diff -u" for the patch?

The reason why I recoded turntable to become hybrid with a trackball  
component, was because the viewrotate method works with small  
increments (rotations on rotations etc), causing the "up vector" to  
become slanted after a while. This was an annoying bug, reported in  
tracker.

While trying to fix that I thought it would be nice to develop a  
hybrid, giving turntable method when you move with mouse horizontally  
in the center of window, and giving trackball on vertical motion on the  
edges.

I might consider bringing back traditional turntable for blender, but  
only when it incorporates a solution for the incrementing bug,  
something I can't see in your code?
