Batch.migrate IndexedVertexList

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I am working on creating a 3d graphics engine and using the concepts behind 
sprite.Sprite and the graphics.py demo to create a 3d set of primitive objects 
(using pyglet 1.1.4 btw).  

Now to implement picking I want to be able to change the group the primitive 
belongs to.  Based on sprite.Sprite, changing groups basically calls 
self._batch.migrate(self._vertex_list, GL_QUADS, self._group, self._batch).  
Note that self._vertexlist in sprite.Sprite is not an indexed list (see 
Sprite._create_vertex_list).  When I try to do the same thing with an indexed 
vertexlist in my 3d engine I am getting some strange behavior. Looking at 
Batch.migrate in pyglet\graphics\__init__.py it seems that the 
batch._get_domain function is always called with False as the first argument, 
indicating that it's a regular vertexlist.  Therefore IndexedVertexList are not 
supported as issue 603 mentions.  

Taking a closer look at pyglet.graphics.vertexdomain revealed that 
IndexedVertexLists do not have .migrate method overloaded to account for the 
index buffer similar to .resize.  I took the concepts in VertexList.migrate and 
IndexedVertexList.resize and came up with the solution at the link provided 
below.  Here is the link to the repository and changes I made.

Let me know if this solves issue 603.

Version 1.1.4 is considered final, the development is happening in 1.2. I can 
only suggest you to try 1.2 from repository and see if that works for you 
(although it implies some API changes).

I took a look and found that the development version has the same issue as 
version 1.1.4.  Note that I applied the patch to the dev to begin with. As I 
mentioned, the problem is that IndexedVertexList.migrate method is not 
overloaded to account for indices.  It is calling the superclass (VertexList) 
migrate method by default.

Thanks Denis, good stuff.

I fixed a few bugs with the previous patch. 

1. The index numbering has to be changed if an idx_vlist is migrated if the 
vertex attributes move to a different location on the vertexbuffer and 

2. Batch.migrate should set Batch._draw_list_dirty = True.
