Hi, All it's been a while,
As I remember EMesh was willian's baby for years but was never
implemented. As I remember the original idea was to have 2 major
functions in the module : EnterEditMode and ExitEditMode which would
call the edit.c functions in blender src. As I remember all editmode
structures are temporary and simply by calling exit edit mode all
temporary structs are written to the mesh data.
Also I remember when I added vertgrouping things to NMesh I
originally wanted to add 'selection' functions for vertgroups however,
you can really only 'select' things when you are in edit mode (this is
also true for armatures).
I would like to hear willian's comments on this. Also I would like
to see selection functionality as a major portion of EMesh. My opinion
on EMesh is that an editmesh should be returned from a regular mesh
structure through a call to enterEditMesh with a Mesh structure as an
argument. All data for editmesh should be temporary and upon a call to
exitEditMesh all data is written to the original mesh caller and
editdata is cleaned up by python.
