Before drawing a shape, the renderer checks that its control points stay
within the rasterizer's limits. For a long path it measured every point
of the path for this check in each frame. The kept path of a long path
now keeps the box of the points of each run of segments next to the run's
bounds, updates it with the runs an edit changes, and answers the check
from those boxes.
With a closed path of 200,000 anchors and no paint (release build,
single-threaded, medians of 21 frames), the part of the frame redrawn
after one anchor moves took 1.93 ms instead of 2.69 ms, and drawing the
same part again with nothing changed took 0.015 ms instead of 0.343 ms.
Ruler guides were a list kept beside the layers. Each guide is now an
object of its layer or sublayer, always directly in it and above the
layer's art. These behave as on main:
- Guides draw on screen only. Exports (SVG, PDF, PNG, PSD), Fit All,
Select All, the art bounds, clicks and marquees, and a layer's
Pathfinder and Transform effects leave them out. The Layers panel
lists them as guide rows of their layer, the highest guide.list
index first.
- Deleting a layer deletes its guides, and merging layers keeps their
guides in the merged layer.
- The guide commands number guides as guide.list does, in the order
they were made.
New: each guide takes an id from the document's object ids. An object
command given a guide's id fails with an error, and node.move cannot
put a guide into a group or out of its layers. A guide made while an
opacity mask, a symbol or a pattern is edited moves to the top
visible, unlocked layer when editing ends.
File format: native files still save the guides in the document's
guides list, in every file version, so older builds read them. Each
entry may now also carry the guide's id, name, locked and hidden
flags; older builds ignore those fields. Opening a file puts each
saved guide on its layer (on the top visible, unlocked layer when the
file names none or a layer it does not have), and each saved guide
counts against the object limit for opening a file. A ruler guide node
that a file holds below a layer's art moves up to the layer's guides,
and one anywhere else (in a group or another object, beside the
layers, or in a symbol) is removed. Ruler guides read from an .ai file
become guide objects on the layer they were on, numbered in the order
the file lists them.
The canvas key did not change when a plug-in was installed, replaced or
removed, so the canvas kept showing the frame drawn with the old plug-in,
and a pan by whole pixels copied that frame's pixels next to strips drawn
with the new one.
The key now carries the plug-in revision of the last install or removal
after which the document draws a plug-in effect, in its layers, in a
symbol's or pattern's art, or in a brush's art. The canvas looks through a
document once after each install or removal; a document without a plug-in
effect keeps its key.

- An Image Trace object's hidden source image counts as shown in each
version by that version's own first member: an edit that puts it
first again (undoing Send to Back on a traced shape), or a new source
image in its place, redraws where it shows. Tested with an image
source on screen with the objects' views.
- A shape of an Image Trace object in Outline view is left out by the
rule every object is (node_checks::left_out), so the drawing and the
measure of an edit can't disagree.
- The renderer keeps the brush library's key from its first measure of
3D art until the library changes; the test says so, and that a change
lets it go.
- The test of a 3D effect that builds nothing covers it on a fill and
on a stroke, without effects of the object's own (exactly as without
it) and under a raster effect.
On the commit before, "Canvas: a 3D effect on a fill that builds nothing
draws without it": it needs no effect of the object's own. A 3D effect
on a fill or stroke that builds nothing overflowed the stack on its own
too. With a raster effect, the object now draws from its art, where
without the 3D effect it draws as a path, whose raster effects are
clipped to the path's own geometry, cutting off the item's Roughen
spikes: the new drawing is the one that keeps them.
Review of #6290.
- An edit is measured as the renderer draws: an object it leaves out
(hidden, a template layer or guide the view hides, drawn hidden, the
instance a symbol is edited from) is measured as nothing, by one
predicate the renderer and the measure share (node_checks::left_out,
before culling).
- An Image Trace object's members are compared one by one again, its
hidden source image, which some views draw, counted as shown: moving
the source redraws where it was and is, and recoloring a traced shape
redraws only the shape.
- The renderer checks the brush library between frames only while it
keeps bounds measured with brushed strokes in 3D art.
- Tests: the sweep of 3D art's bounds counted while the art is held,
and Fit to Artwork Bounds' menu answer kept for a revision.
A knockout element with one opaque Normal solid fill (a path or
compound, no mask, effects or isolation) is drawn once under
AntiAlias::None, including the internal hard-edge frame of Art
Optimized supersampled exports, instead of being erased and added back
through per-element backdrop layers. Analytical antialiasing keeps the
existing compositor and rounding.
Exact-pixel tests compare against the general knockout path for paths
and compound holes across precision, supersampling, translucent parents
and copied backdrops, and check that the backdrop rasters are skipped;
translucent fills keep their knockout compositing.
