Graphs: labels keep paragraph settings and anti-aliasing when the graph is drawn again
Paragraph settings given to all of a graph label's text with text.setFormat (indents, spacing, hyphenation, Justification options, composer, direction, kashida, kinsoku, mojikumi, burasagari and the rest) and the label's anti-aliasing method were lost when the graph drew its labels again, because the graph kept only a character style for each kind of label. Each kind now also keeps its paragraph settings and anti-aliasing method, saved with the graph in its label styles, and the graph still sets each label's alignment for its place. The legend spaces its entries by the kept legend settings: Legend Across Top measures each label with its indents and spacing, both legend layouts make room for extra leading or paragraph spacing, and a label with a negative indent or negative space before moves right or down so it stays clear of its swatch and of the entry above it.

- **Blend spine Anchor Point tool (#2544):** on a selected blend, dragging a spine corner makes symmetric Smooth handles; the tool displays and picks existing spine handles when switched to, drags one independently or retracts it on click, and clicking a point with handles retracts both.

Windows native canvas checks and screenshots reviewed: symmetric and independent handles, corner/retraction, Shift constraints and perpendicular reshaping, tool switching, key preservation, Undo/Redo, save/reopen, hidden handles and overlapping Path/Blend priority (PR #2643).

- **Path editing (#494):** the handles shown are the handles that drag: Direct Selection drags those of a path selected as a whole (as the Pen leaves it), the Anchor Point tool and Pen+Alt no longer grab handles that Show handles when multiple anchors are selected hides, a handle shorter than the tolerance leaves its anchor to be picked, and the anchor tools pick within Selection & Anchor Display › Tolerance. A dragged segment keeps a smooth anchor at either end smooth. With Direct Selection, the Pen, the Curvature and the anchor tools, a path selected as a whole shows all its anchors selected, and the Control bar and the Properties panel offer Convert (corner, smooth) for them too; Remove and Cut wait for anchors direct-selected (#504). A handle drag gathers its snap targets once per drag (it took 21 ms per pointer move on a 20,000-path document, now 1 ms; `vectorcraft-cli perf` measures handle and segment drags on a 5,000-anchor path). Join merges the selected anchor points that lie on one another, as after Average, into one anchor (#1582, fixes #1533); Object › Path › Average & Join… (`path.averageJoin`, Cmd+Alt+Shift+J, the "Create corner or smooth join" shortcut of [Default keyboard shortcuts](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/default-keyboard-shortcuts.html)) moves two open path ends to their midpoint and joins them there, a corner or smooth point as its dialog's Points choice asks, in one undo step.

Graph Type's Override Calculated Values (both `axisMin` and `axisMax`) uses exactly that value-axis range, split into the tick count (5 when automatic). Line graphs take Edge-to-Edge Lines (off by default: the points sit at the centres of their categories; graphs saved before the option keep their edge-to-edge lines), and radar graphs follow Mark Data Points and Connect Data Points. Blank cells (an empty CSV cell or `null`) are values left out, not zeros: columns, bars and stacked segments skip them, lines and scatter lines break around them and the value axis ignores them, while area, pie and radar draw them as 0; a number in straight quotes is a label, and the data window writes it back quoted. Graph types combine: Graph Type on series picked with Group Selection (or `series` indexes) draws them as their own type, with column, stacked column, line and area mixing on the vertical value axis and bar and stacked bar on the horizontal one; stacked columns take one slot of the cluster, lines draw in front of columns and areas behind. The value axis goes on the left, the right or both sides (column, stacked column, line, area and scatter graphs; bar graphs keep theirs along the bottom), and Separate Scales gives the series assigned to the right axis a scale of their own with its own tick values. Each value axis takes tick marks of no, short or full (across the plot) length and a count per division, and a prefix and suffix for its numbers; the category axis takes tick marks too (none by default), at or between its labels. Graph designs: Object › Graph › Design lists the designs with a preview of the selected one, and New Design (the selected art), Rename, Delete Design, Paste Design (a copy back to edit) and Select Unused, and Marker draws the data points and legend swatches of line, scatter and radar series with a design, scaled so its backmost object fills the default marker's square. Graph Data transposes rows and columns and switches a scatter graph's x and y, and a `|` in a category or series label starts a new line. Pie graphs take Legends in Wedges, Position (Even, Ratio sized by area, Stacked on one centre) and Sort (None, All, First). Graph Type takes column and cluster widths up to 1000% (overlapping past 100%) with First Row and First Column in Front (First Row orders each series' categories; across series the series order decides, so series stay one group each for Group Selection), draws filled lines, adds drop shadows behind columns, bars, lines and wedges, and puts the legend in rows across the top.

Type in a column design that holds a `%` followed by two digits shows each column's value in place of the `%` and the digits: the first digit is the least number of places before the decimal point (zeros are added in front; 0 gives as many as the value needs), and the second digit sets the places after it, rounded. Unless it is inside a group that clips or has its own opacity or appearance, or inside a blend, compound shape, envelope, repeat or intertwined objects, the type keeps its size and is drawn once per column in a repeating design. The legend swatch leaves it out.

The Character panel menu's Show Font Height Options shows a Set Font Height Reference dropdown under Font Size (`text.setFormat` or `text.setRangeStyle` `{fontHeightReference}`). With Em Box, the default, the font size is the size of the em square; with Cap Height, x-Height or ICF Box, the characters are set at the em size at which the font's OS/2 cap height, its x height or the height of its ideographic character face equals the font size. With a font that has no such value, or one outside 0.1 to 2 em, the size measures the em box. SVG, PDF and legacy `.ai` export and the CSS Properties rules write the em size the characters are drawn at, and DXF export writes 0.7 times that em size as each TEXT entity's height (group 40, the height of its capitals). Behavior reference: [Vary font height](https://web.archive.org/web/20251118174722/https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/edit-format-text/vary-font-height.html).

The Every-line Composer composes a paragraph whose characters differ in line metrics (type size, font, leading or vertical scale, or an inline graphic taller than the text) in rectangular area type, rows and columns included. In area type of another shape, or with text wrap, such a paragraph is broken with the Single-line Composer.

The Character panel's Small Caps, Superscript and Subscript buttons and the panel menu's items of the same names turn small caps and the superscript or subscript position on and off for the selected type, or for the text the Type tool has selected (`text.setFormat` or `text.setRangeStyle` `{smallCaps, position}`), in Document Setup's proportions. Turning Superscript on turns Subscript off, and turning Subscript on turns Superscript off. A button or item shows as on when the first selected character (at a caret, the character before it) has its attribute.

The Character panel's Anti-aliasing Method dropdown, under Character Rotation, sets how the edges of the selected type objects are drawn as pixels (`text.setFormat {antiAlias}`), for the whole object, with each frame of a thread keeping its own method, on the canvas, in raster exports and when the type is rasterized. VectorCraft defines the methods: Sharp, the default, draws edges as before; None paints a pixel only where the type covers at least half of it; Crisp shows a pixel covered by a share c at `2c - 0.5`, and Strong shows it at `2c`, each kept between 0 and 1. SVG, PDF and EPS export are unchanged. Scores and hours unchanged.

The menu shows Mixed when the characters it acts on differ, and an entry chosen then applies to all of them. These two rules are VectorCraft's own, as is setting the feature on type whose font lacks the glyphs, which then draws unchanged. The panel's menus and checkboxes change only their own features on each selected character, so characters keep their other OpenType features (`text.setStyle` and `text.setRangeStyle` `{featureChanges}`). Tests: `panels::opentype::tests`, `features::tests::numerators_and_denominators_are_kept_and_shaped`.

The alternates come from the font's `GSUB` single and alternate substitutions of `aalt`, then `salt`, `ss01` to `ss20`, `swsh`, `cv01` to `cv99` and a few other alternate features, each glyph once. The text keeps the character, native files keep the choice with the face it was made in, and type set in another font or version draws the default glyph. The list uses the font of the character's text even when the panel browses another font, and the panel shows a note when the character has no alternates, its font is missing or no character is selected; these rules are VectorCraft's own. Tests: `panels::glyphs::tests`, `tests::alternates`, `tests::textedit::a_glyph_alternate_replaces_one_character_through_undo_and_reopen`.
