Hello, and good day to anyone who reads this. I was directed here from
BlenderArtists.org, and so this is a copy of a post that I wrote in that forum.
I am attempting to learn and manipulate the Blender codebase in order to gain
some experience in programming, and just for fun. I have decided to attempt to
improve the Outliner and start learning the codebase from there.
I have a design model planned which includes a few things like:
Implementing Python script grouping/ordering/filtering - which will be
stackable/layerable. Variables within the script can, optionally, be exposed as
a property within a n-panel panel.Redoing and improving grouping/ordering –
namely, any item can be filtered in accordance with ANY propertyConveniently
displaying ANY property for any grouped items - By items I mean objects,
materials, modifiers, constraints, etc...
---------------------MY PROBLEM
I have decided that the python filters and their respective variables need to
be placed within the side panel/n-panel. So far this is where I have begun and
am currently stuck.
My current problem is that I have coded (copied, pasted and then modified)
everything that I know of for a side panel/n-panel for the outliner, but the
side panel is not showing up.My code executes, but the side panel doesn't show
up.
So far I am just trying to imitate what other coders have done, namely by
copying and pasting their code. .
I suppose there could easily be more code involved to create an n-panel area
but I just don't know what. Can anyone help? If you could, at least, tell me
what other areas of code I should be using as an example to implement a n-panel
that would be wonderful.
Below is a .patch file(WIP) with what I have coded so far.
NOTE: The “.patch” extension has been changed to “.blend” in order to upload
it as an attachment.

Thanks for any help.
