Gizmo API documentation - missing infos

Hi,

I was wondering if a dev can update the API documentation for the Gizmo. the list of the types we can use is missing and some information for each type is missing too. I made a list for myself, maybe it can help someone else.

Thanks !

GizmoType :

    length : arrow length
    angle : do nothing

  • GIZMO_GT_arrow_3d
    length : arrow length
    draw_options : {‘STEM’} do nothing
    draw_style : (‘NORMAL’, ‘CROSS’, ‘BOX’, ‘CONE’)
    transform : {‘INVERT’, ‘CONSTRAIN’} ‘CONSTRAIN’ crash Blender
    aspect : (flt, flt) do nothing

  • GIZMO_GT_blank_3d

  • GIZMO_GT_cage_2d
    draw_style : (‘BOX’, ‘CIRCLE’) Box = Open cage // Nothing = Closed Cage // Circle = Do nothing

Hi thank you for speaking out on this.

Can you copy this into a bug report here:

https://developer.blender.org/maniphest/task/edit/form/default/?project=PHID-PROJ-c4nvvrxuczix2326vlti

Done : https://developer.blender.org/T68709

Thanks !

For someone new to Blender and its source code, would it be possible to link to where you found these? Is this a good place to look?
