# VectorCraft Roadmap
> **QoL update (2026-11-02):** Selection-tool marquees offer Touching (default), Fully Enclosed and Drag Direction in Preferences › Selection & Anchor Display. Drag Direction uses screen left/right, including rotated views, retaining its last rule within three horizontal screen pixels of the press. E reverses the rule for the current drag. A solid enclosed outline or dashed touching outline and a translated label show the active rule. The selection region remains aligned to the document axes. This is a VectorCraft addition; scores and estimates are unchanged.
- Contour add-on (beyond Illustrator): drag a selected shape's edge outward or inward for a live, editable offset copy, with a floating bar for distance and Sharp, Round or Square corners; Bake turns it into paths. Scores and estimates unchanged.
- Compound Shapes add-on (beyond Illustrator): a menu for Make, Release and Expand Compound Shape and a setting, off by default, that makes the Pathfinder panel's Shape Mode buttons create compound shapes on a click. Scores and estimates unchanged.

Docked Tools stays beside the canvas, inside any left-side panels. Both the canvas edge and the window edge accept floating Tools. Existing saved workspace fields are reused. This is a requested layout choice; [toolbar documentation](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tools.html) and [workspace documentation](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/customizing-workspace.html) describe movability and docking, without establishing this exact relative placement.

**Flat Logo colors.** Flat Logo traces white as a color of its own beside the colors named in
`logoColors`, and takes a named color with every channel 245 or more as that white. Each pixel is read
as a blend of the traced colors and goes to the color with the largest share, so a near-white area can
go to a named light color instead of white. With `"logoWhite": false` in the params of `imageTrace.make` or
`imageTrace.makeAndExpand`, it traces the named colors only: white areas take the nearest named color,
a named white or near-white is used as named, and enclosed transparent areas stay holes instead of
being painted white. When Flat Logo finds the colors itself, `logoWhite` has no effect, and with
`ignoreWhite` white areas are left out whatever `logoWhite` says.

# VectorCraft MCP server
Selection-tool marquees: `prefs.set {key: "marqueeSelection", value: "touching" | "enclosed" | "directional"}` chooses touched objects (default), fully enclosed objects, or screen-right enclosed / screen-left touched objects. Direction follows the screen when the view is rotated; within three horizontal screen pixels of the press, the last rule remains (initially touching). Without a screen frame, direction uses document x at the current zoom. E reverses the rule for the current drag; Shift toggles the reached objects and Escape cancels. The outline and label show the effective rule. Ruler guides use that rule too; Direct Selection and the document-aligned selection region are unchanged.
`vectorcraft-cli mcp` runs a [Model Context Protocol](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server on stdio

Raster rendering fits and preflattens curved stroke outlines more tightly only below four times the raster tolerance, retaining thin-band coverage without changing stroke weight or vector export geometry. Current cached character/object outlines, cropped long strokes, gradient clips and effect rasters share the helper; cropped-region reuse and guarded flattening remain. The unchanged `fractional_curved_strokes_retain_coverage_between_notches` regression covers fractional weights, rotation, phase, opacity and f32-rounded endpoints. This is a quality/cost tradeoff, not a speed claim. Scores and estimates unchanged.

**Feature evidence last updated:** 2026-11-02.
Raster rendering fits and preflattens curved stroke outlines more tightly only below four times the raster tolerance, retaining thin-band coverage without changing stroke weight or vector export geometry. Current cached character/object outlines, cropped long strokes, gradient clips and effect rasters share the helper; cropped-region reuse and guarded flattening remain. The unchanged `fractional_curved_strokes_retain_coverage_between_notches` regression covers fractional weights, rotation, phase, opacity and f32-rounded endpoints. This is a quality/cost tradeoff, not a speed claim. Scores and estimates unchanged.
**PR #3273 revision — 2026-11-04:** Thin curved stroke coverage ported to the current raster-only cache, cropped-long-stroke and effect paths with guarded flattening; vector export geometry unchanged. Scores and estimates unchanged.
