   Double-clicking the Live Paint Bucket opens Live Paint Bucket Options ([Paint with the Live Paint Bucket tool](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/paint-and-fill/learn-painting-basics/paint-with-the-live-paint-bucket-tool.html)): Paint Fills (on) and Paint Strokes (off) set whether a click paints faces, edges or both, Highlight turns the outline of the face or edge under the pointer on or off, and Color and Width set it (red and 4 px by default). Faces are outlined at the Width and edges at half of it, as the page says faces are highlighted with a thick line and edges with a thin line. With both on, a click paints the edge within 4 px of the pointer, else the face, and Shift switches to Paint Fills only; with one on, Shift switches to the other. The options last across tool switches and are saved with the preferences (`tool.setOption {tool: "livePaintBucket"}`). Evidence: `builder::tests::{bucket_options_choose_what_a_click_paints, bucket_options_set_the_highlight, bucket_highlights_an_edge_thinner_than_a_face}`, `dialogs::live_paint_bucket::tests::double_clicking_the_tool_opens_its_options_and_ok_sets_them`.
   Live Paint Bucket double-click and triple-click, as [the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/paint-and-fill/learn-painting-basics/paint-with-the-live-paint-bucket-tool.html) describes them: a double-click on a face fills it and the faces reached across edges that draw no stroke, and on an edge it paints the edges joined to it with the same stroke; a triple-click fills every face of the group with the face's fill, or paints every edge with the edge's stroke (`livePaint.fill` and `livePaint.strokeEdge` `{scope: "connected" | "samePaint", match?}`; `pointer_gesture` and `ui.pointer` take `tripleclick`). Each click paints as it arrives, as its own undo step, and the paint compared is the one the face or edge had before the first of its clicks that painted it; a first click that made the Live Paint group counts when the face it filled is the clicked face. With Space held for the view tools, a click, double-click or triple-click paints nothing and no face or edge is outlined, and with Cmd/Ctrl held a double-click or triple-click paints nothing. Which faces and edges join and which paints match are VectorCraft's own rules. Evidence: `tests_build::{live_paint_bucket_double_click_floods_across_unstroked_edges, live_paint_bucket_double_click_floods_curved_and_narrow_faces, live_paint_bucket_double_click_floods_across_hidden_edges_and_past_gaps, live_paint_bucket_triple_click_fills_every_face_of_the_same_fill, live_paint_bucket_triple_click_after_making_the_group_matches_the_made_fill, live_paint_bucket_double_and_triple_click_paint_joined_and_same_stroke_edges, live_paint_scope_and_match_are_checked}`, `builder::tests::{bucket_double_and_triple_click_widen_what_a_click_paints, bucket_triple_click_after_making_the_group_on_another_face_matches_its_own_face, bucket_triple_click_with_a_click_on_another_face_between_matches_the_first_fill, bucket_highlights_nothing_with_space_held}`, `tests::build::{live_paint_scoped_fill_and_stroke_skip_parts_with_the_paint, live_paint_bucket_cmd_double_and_triple_click_paint_nothing}`, `tests::livepaint::{a_triple_click_fills_every_face_of_the_same_fill, clicks_with_space_held_paint_nothing}` (MCP).
   Live Paint Bucket Options has Cursor Swatch Preview, as the [help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/paint-and-fill/learn-painting-basics/paint-with-the-live-paint-bucket-tool.html) lists: with the Bucket selected, the active fill or stroke shows above the pointer between the color swatches before and after it in the Swatches panel, and the Left and Right arrow keys pick the swatch before or after it, as the page describes. The selected art keeps its paint. As VectorCraft's own rules, the option is on at first, the arrows step the stroke when the Stroke proxy is in front, they wrap around at the ends and still step with the preview off, a color that is no swatch shows alone until Right picks the first swatch or Left the last, and the arrows do nothing during a fill drag or with no color swatch. Evidence: `tests::build::{live_paint_bucket_arrow_keys_step_the_active_paint_through_the_swatches, live_paint_bucket_arrow_keys_handle_unmatched_paint_few_swatches_and_drags, live_paint_bucket_arrow_keys_pass_swatches_of_the_same_color_for_fill_and_stroke, swatch_arrow_keys_leave_modified_arrows_to_the_shortcuts}`.
+  Object › Live Paint › Make turns the selected paths into a Live Paint group of faces and edges ([the help page](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/paint-and-fill/learn-painting-basics/create-live-paint-groups.html)). As VectorCraft's own rule, each face takes every fill row that draws (shown, with paint and an opacity above 0) of its front-most covering source that has one and an opacity above 0, and each edge every stroke row that draws (also with a weight above 0) of its source, in order with their opacity, blending mode, effects and stroke settings, with gradients kept at their fit on the source and with the source's opacity and blending mode. Where a path is cut into several edges, each edge's dashes go on from where it starts along the path with the lengths set (dashes aligned to corners and path ends are not fitted to the cut edges), the arrowheads stay at the path's own ends, and a width profile or brush stays only on an edge that runs the whole path; each edge runs the way its path does, a gradient applied along a stroke starts again on each cut edge, and an inside or outside stroke is drawn centered on an open piece of a closed path. A painted lower row under an unpainted or hidden top row is kept, a hidden top row does not become visible, and a source in front whose fill does not draw does not hide the fill behind it. Rows that do not draw stay with the stored sources, which Release returns unchanged; the source's object effects are not carried. Evidence: `tests::build::{live_paint_make_keeps_lower_drawn_stroke_rows, live_paint_make_fits_dashes_and_arrowheads_to_each_edge, live_paint_make_starts_a_closed_edge_where_its_path_starts, live_paint_make_keeps_the_direction_of_gradient_strokes, live_paint_make_keeps_all_drawn_fill_rows_and_attributes, live_paint_make_uses_frontmost_source_with_drawn_fill}`.
   Live Paint Make preserves the front-most covering source's fill when compound paths share a curved boundary, and Expand keeps the face fills. Regression evidence: `planar::tests::coincident_curves_keep_their_source_faces` checks source order, winding, fill rules and nearby boundaries; `tests::build::live_paint_make_and_expand_keep_abutting_compound_colors` checks native compound paths, Make, Expand and Undo/Redo. This preserves VectorCraft's source-fill rule without changing arrangement precision.
   Object › Live Paint › Expand keeps the faces and edges that draw on the canvas, with all their fill and stroke rows, so the expanded paths look as the painted group did ([Create Live Paint groups](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/paint-and-fill/learn-painting-basics/create-live-paint-groups.html)). As VectorCraft's own rule, a face or edge draws when it is shown, its opacity is above 0, and any of its fill or stroke rows is shown, has paint and an opacity above 0 (a stroke also needs a weight above 0), whichever row is on top: a painted lower row under an unpainted top row is kept, and a part whose only painted row is hidden is removed. Merge copies the fill and stroke rows, visibility, opacity and blending mode of each face that draws by this rule, and of each edge, to the rebuilt parts, with their gradients kept at their fit on the old outline and without the strokes' pen pressure, tilt, bearing and rotation. Evidence: `tests::build::{live_paint_expand_keeps_the_faces_and_edges_that_draw, live_paint_merge_carries_the_faces_that_draw, live_paint_merge_leaves_pen_pressure_behind, live_paint_merge_keeps_the_fit_of_carried_gradients, live_paint_merge_keeps_the_visibility_opacity_and_blending_of_carried_parts}`.
   `livePaint.info` lists every fill and stroke row of each face and edge, bottom first, with its paint, opacity, visibility, weight for a stroke, and whether it draws by the rule above, beside the top fill, stroke and weight it already reported. Evidence: `tests::build::live_paint_info_lists_every_appearance_row`.
