Window › Swatch Libraries › Gradients gains Organic Fades, a gradient
library of fifteen fades (ten linear, five radial). Each runs through
three to five unevenly spaced stops with off-center midpoints, mixes
with the Perceptual method, and thins out to transparent at the end of
a linear fade or at the edge of a radial one. The colors are computed
from VectorCraft's own OKLCH anchors.
The library also lists in the Swatches panel's library menu, in
swatch.library.list (category "gradients") and in the Gradient panel's
Presets. swatch.library.add keeps each fade's stops, opacities,
midpoints and method in RGB and CMYK documents.
The other built-in libraries are unchanged: their gradients still mix
with Classic and keep centered midpoints, and a test checks it.
- Gradient previews in the Swatch Libraries panel, the Gradient
panel's Presets menu, swatch tiles and the toolbar drew every stop
opaque. Each chip vertex now takes the sampled opacity as its alpha
(freeform points too), and a chip with any translucent vertex draws
a white and gray checkerboard under the gradient. Opaque gradients
draw as before.
- When the preferences are applied, a saved gradient preset whose name
matches a built-in preset, or an earlier saved preset, in any case,
is renamed to the first free "<name> N" (N from 2), so a saved
preset named like a new built-in fade stays listed and can be
applied and deleted.
In distance mode, each pixel took a square root for every background color.
The nearest color is now found by squared distance, and only that distance is
converted to a percentage. The levels do not change.
Affinity: read native documents with craft-affinity from craft-libs
* Affinity: read native documents with craft-affinity from craft-libs
crates/affinity's reader moved to craft-libs as craft-affinity (#914).
The crate keeps its name and re-exports it, so the engine, the corpus
tests and fuzz targets, and the Affinity corpus CI job are unchanged.
Its integration tests take craft-libs' versions; the one signature that
changes is patchy-shapes-2.af, whose special shapes now have outlines.
* Affinity: pin craft-affinity to craft-libs 228f6d0c (no change to the crate)
cached_frames_keep_their_scale_during_resize_rotation_and_dpi_changes
delivered the worker's frame with a 1 ms render time. The canvas key
carries the process-wide placed-document generation, so when another
test in the same run made a placed bitmap between the delivery and the
next frame, the key no longer matched. With a 1 ms last frame, the next
frame rendered on the UI thread over the delivered one, and the
"the worker's frame arrived" assertion failed.
The delivered frame now reports 50 ms, as the frames before it do, so a
moved generation queues the next frame on the controlled worker and the
delivered frame stays shown.
drop_left forgot a copy in an area the session left before removing it, so a copy whose removal failed (the area read-only for a moment) could later be offered back to the same session as a crash's copy. The entry now stays until both files are removed, and the next heartbeat tries again.
The fuel and heap checks for a host evaluator's source were split into a third
before encoding and the rest after, so a source whose whole UTF-16 text did not
fit in the heap could still be encoded and parsed. The whole encoded size is now
reserved before encoding. A source over the source limit is still refused as a
syntax error.
A save that set useArtboards: true and named an artboard with artboard
or artboards, without range, wrote that artboard, but file.formatOptions
reported the default range. The Save As dialog then opened on All, and
OK saved every artboard. file.formatOptions now reports those artboards
as the range unless Use Artboards was saved off.
A new gradient kind, `diamond`, runs its stops from the center (the
start) out to a square with a corner at the end of the vector; the
aspect stretches the square across the vector into a rhombus. The
Gradient panel's Type row has a Diamond button, the Gradient tool draws
the square with the aspect handle and center ring, and a gradient
fitted to an object covers its box.
- Model and canvas: the level is |x| + |y| in the square's frame; a
square with no area (no vector, an aspect of 0, numbers out of range)
paints the last stop. The canvas draws it as pixels, out to a
stroke's miters, caps and arrowheads. Transforms keep the vector and
take the mapped size across it as the aspect.
- Commands: `paint.setFill`, `paint.editGradient` and
`paint.setGradientGeom` take `kind: "diamond"`; a negative aspect or
a focal point is an error. A conic or diamond gradient that a plug-in
returns with a focal point loses the focal point.
- Gradient tool: dragging the aspect handle of a radial or diamond
gradient whose file gave it a negative aspect now sets a positive
aspect; only a conic's negative aspect mirrors it.
- Export: PDF, SVG, EPS and legacy .ai write four linear gradients, one
for each quarter of the square, clipped to the shape (PDF as axial
shadings). PDF and SVG write an image for translucent stops, a
dithered fill or a flat square, and for the Perceptual method unless
PDF writes the stops as spot color shadings. SVG writes a diamond on
type characters as a radial gradient through the corners, and so
does CSS. A swatch library saved as CSS gets four corner layers, a
value for the `background` property (a circle when the swatch is
turned by an angle that is not a multiple of 90 degrees). The .ai
editing data holds a radial gradient through the corners. The
document exports give a warning.
- SVG export: a stroke drawn as an image, as conic wedges or as diamond
quarters now covers the miters, caps and arrowheads that reach past
its paint box.
- PDF import reads a function-based shading whose color is the same
along each square about the origin of its space as a diamond.
- Object > Expand gives nested squares or a mesh of rings.
