     On the canvas, the renderer no longer draws the picture of the art below back as an image each time it copies the backdrop of a non-isolated group that blends: it keeps that picture and draws the art that follows over it. At 2880 × 1800, 50 translucent groups with Multiply members take 65 ms a frame instead of 299 ms on 8 threads (`vectorcraft-cli bench`), and the frames have the same pixels.
     Type inside a group, layer, symbol instance, blend or repeat keeps its opacity, blend mode, opacity mask, Opacity & Mask Define Knockout Shape, own effects, perspective and visibility when the effects on the container outline it. Hidden type with a geometry effect of its own is left out of exports.
     PDF export writes a knockout group as one PDF knockout group (`/K true`, with `/I true` when the group isolates; ISO 32000-1, 11.4.6.3), so a knockout group of any size opens again in VectorCraft as a knockout group, and the form nesting of the file does not grow with the number of elements. When an element's opacity or mask defines its knockout shape, or it paints translucently, each element is drawn through one soft mask of the overlapping elements above it instead; past 65,536 objects in a group's masks (or 2,048 elements) the group is a PDF knockout group, with a warning that its translucent elements knock out fully. SVG export draws each element of a knockout group through one mask of the overlapping elements above it, and the masks refer to one copy of each element's shape, so the elements stay siblings and the file nests no deeper with more elements; past 65,536 shapes in a group's masks (or 2,048 elements) the group is written as a plain group, with a warning. Evidence: `pdf/src/tests/blend.rs`, `svg/tests/it/blend_export.rs`, `pdf/tests/gradient_forms.rs` (a gradient in a knockout group reads back in place).

     The built-in Textures graphic style library (`graphicStyle.addFromLibrary {library: "textures"}`) has eight styles that paint their fills and strokes with the texture effects: Fine Grain (Grain), Canvas Weave and Burlap Sack (Texturizer), Cracked Glaze (Craquelure), Mosaic Floor (Mosaic Tiles), Quilted Squares (Patchwork), Leaded Glass (Stained Glass) and Damp Paper (Water Paper). The help page names new graphic styles for textures ([What's new](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/new-features/whats-new.html)) without naming them, so the styles, their names and their settings are VectorCraft's own (`tests::stylelib::textures_styles_apply_their_texture_effects_and_keep_their_params_through_save_and_open`).
     In the Graphic Styles panel, Shift-click selects a range of styles and Ctrl/Cmd-click adds or removes one.
     Applying a style to several objects, and Redefine Graphic Style, give the objects one shared copy of the style's appearance instead of a copy each; an object that is edited later gets its own copy, and an object whose placed gradients are fitted to its own bounds gets its own. The undo history's memory estimate counts a shared appearance once. Saved files are unchanged (`crates/engine/src/tests/styles.rs`).
