TranslateGizmo draws three axis handles at the selected GameObject's
world position by projecting real 3D points through the real camera's
View/Projection (GizmoMath.WorldToScreen) onto ImGui's foreground draw
list. Nothing OpenGL-side draws lines yet, so this isn't 3D geometry
in the GL sense — but it IS driven by the actual camera matrices, which
is what the earlier scoped-2D-vs-full-3D-pipeline choice was actually
about: a handle dragged in screen space has to map onto a real 3D axis,
and that only means something once there's a real camera to project
through. The screenshot below shows exactly that — the axes aren't
screen-perpendicular, because the camera at (0,3,6) looking at the
origin means they shouldn't be.
Dragging a handle re-projects the mouse delta onto the axis's own
screen-space direction (GizmoMath.ProjectDragOntoAxis) and writes the
result back through GizmoMath.WorldToLocalPosition, which inverts the
parent's WorldMatrix rather than writing LocalPosition directly — a
parent with non-identity scale or rotation means "move 1 world unit"
and "add 1 to LocalPosition" are different amounts, and
samples/WindowDemo's ChildQuad (parented under a (2,2,1)-scaled Quad)
is exactly that case.
Split the actual math into GizmoMath (Engine.Editor.Contracts, no GL/
ImGui/mouse dependency) so it's unit-testable without a window or a real
mouse — neither exists in a headless test run, and dragging is exactly
the kind of interaction that's easy to get subtly wrong (screen-space
ratio direction, perspective sign, parent-scale correctness) without
something to check it against beyond eyeballing a screenshot. New
Engine.Editor.Tests project, 8 tests: screen-center projection, a
behind-camera point returning null, drag-ratio math on both an
axis-aligned and a diagonal screen direction, and the parent-scale/
parent-translation inverse-transform cases. All 8 passed on the first
run — including the non-uniform-scale case, the one most likely to be
subtly wrong.
Full suite: 73 tests, all green (65 previous + 8 new).
