With Scale Strokes & Effects or Transform Patterns on, the path and each copy are moved by Node::transform, which fixed a fitted gradient to its fit before a scale of 0 flattened it to one color. Scaling::keep_fit_when_flat keeps the gradient fitted under a map that flattens the object (node::flattens, the gate fixes_fit already used), and the Transform effect's path transforms set it.
docs/target-app-parity.md also says that the Gradient tool still shows a fitted gradient's vector at its unturned fit.
Spine::at_length computed tangents from flattened polyline chords, which
are piecewise constant and jump discretely between chords on curved
spines. Steps oriented to the spine with Align to Path stuttered at
large step counts.
Fix: store the original PathData in Spine and compute the tangent from
the original cubic at the true arc-length position via ParamCurveDeriv,
proportionally mapping flattened arc-length s onto each segment's curve
arclength using anchor_length values, instead of using piecewise-constant
chord directions.
Updated segment-selection condition in Spine::at_length to skip segments
whose flattened end is not greater than start before checking whether s is
within the segment. Preserve the existing final-segment fallback so
at_length(0.0) selects a nonzero segment and uses its tangent.
Added zero-derivative fallback tangent for blend-step sampling to keep
Align to Path from passing a zero tangent to atan2.
Added missing docstrings for Spine::new and Spine::length to satisfy
docstring coverage requirements.

Adds a regression test walking 200 samples along a curved spine and
asserting each tangent step stays under 0.1 radians.
A path that keeps its shape because the effect would pass the geometry
budget holds a group's own placed gradients in place. A hidden path in a
layer, which the layer's bounds leave out, no longer holds them, so the
layer's gradient moves with its visible art. The art's own gradients
follow the same rule.
A freeform gradient whose points were edited keeps its vector fitted to
the bounds, so it did not count as placed and its points stayed behind
under a Transform effect and Free Distort unless another placed gradient
was in the same appearance. Its points now move like a placed gradient.
Align to Path moved the whole line by the largest ascent and descent
among its characters. Each character now moves by its own font, size
and vertical scale. Ascender runs the top of the font's em box along
the path: the ideographic em box that the font's BASE table gives, or
in a Chinese, Japanese or Korean font the one that its typographic or
hhea box, a one-em box-drawing cross or its ideographs give; else an
em box centered on the cap height. Descender runs the bottom of the font's
bounding box along the path, and Center runs a line at half the height
of the top of the font's H along it. In vertical type, Ascender and
Descender move the characters half an em, and Center leaves them on
the path.
Existing documents with Align to Path set to Ascender, Descender or
Center lay their type out at a new distance from the path.

A top object's corner test treats a straight segment as having its
handles a third of the way along it, so an anchor between two straight
segments is a corner only when it turns out of the outline. docs/mcp.md
and the doc comment now say so, and a new test covers an inward anchor
between straight segments. The bulging-curve corner test checks against
a fixed point instead of the same nearest-point routine the code uses.
Saved corners from an .ai file stay on the same anchors when the
envelope is reflected, as they already did when it was moved or
rotated. A reflected outline runs counter-clockwise; the corners were
then mapped as if the outline had been drawn the other way round, no
longer fit it, and were found again from the outline.
On a tie between two corner anchors, or two nearest outline points,
the one met first along the outline in the order it was drawn wins,
for outlines drawn counter-clockwise too.
The docs state the corner rule in full: a handle 0.01 pt long or
shorter makes an anchor a corner whichever way it turns; otherwise its
tangent unit vectors must differ by 0.01 or more in x or y and turn
out of the outline. Content spreads evenly along a segment without
handles.
A top-object envelope splits its outline into four sides at four corners
and maps the content onto the Coons patch of those sides. The sides
shared out the content by length, and the corners were the anchors or
curve points nearest the bounding box corners.
Each piece of a side between anchors and corners now takes a share of the
content's width or height in proportion to the length of its control
polygon, spread along the piece by its curve parameter. A straight
segment spreads it evenly by length. A rounded rectangle stays close to
the identity, and the content follows the curves of a side whose segments
differ in size.
Each corner is now the nearest anchor to its bounding box corner among
the sharp anchors that point out of the outline and lie within 47.5% of
the box's width and height from that corner. A handle shorter than
0.01 pt, or tangent unit vectors that differ by 0.01 or more in x or y,
makes an anchor sharp, and the first one along the outline wins a tie.
Without such an anchor, the corner is the outline's nearest point to the
box corner, moved onto the end anchor of its segment within 0.5% of the
segment's parameter. Envelopes opened from .ai files keep the corners the
file saves.
These are VectorCraft's own rules. Existing top-object envelopes redraw by
them. Gradient meshes made from a path keep their sides measured by length.
- crates/doc/src/live/mesh.rs: Coons::from_top_object and the corner
search, used for top-object envelopes.
- EnvelopeKind::TopObject gains an optional `corners` field (anchor
indices); the .ai importer fills it from the mesh's corners.
- Params text of object.envelope.makeWithTopObject, docs/mcp.md
(Envelopes) and a progress line in docs/target-app-parity.md.
Typed list detection gave every bulleted trigger the filled dot. Now
`*` and a space start a list with the filled dot (•), `+` with the
hollow circle (◦), `#` with the filled square (▪) and `>` with the dash
(–), each one of the existing Bullets presets. `1.`, `1)`, `A.` and `A)`
start the same numbered lists as before.
Only the list a typed trigger starts changes. Lists already in a
document keep their bullets, pasted triggers start no list, and Undo
and Redo of a typed list work as before.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (typed list paragraph), docs/target-app-parity.md.
A gradient fitted to the object refit to the outline after the object's
Transform effect rotated, reflected or scaled it unevenly, so the
gradient kept running left to right while the shape turned under it.
Object › Transform already turns such a gradient.
A Transform effect that a refit would not reproduce now fixes the
gradient to its fit on the geometry the effect takes, and then maps it
with that effect and the effects after it, as a placed gradient. Under
moves and even scales it draws as a refit does, and an effect that
scales the object to nothing across leaves it fitted. This applies to
an object's own effects, a fill's or stroke's own effects, and a
group's: in a group, the gradients fitted to its paths, to its own
fill, to the groups inside it and to its images' and symbol instances'
own fills each fix to the fit on their own object. Object › Expand of
the fill draws the same.
This changes how existing documents draw: art with a fitted gradient
and a Transform effect that rotates, reflects or scales it unevenly
now shows the gradient turned with the art. How gradients follow the
effect is VectorCraft's own rule.
The legacy reader skipped `bindrepeat Tg` (section 15.3.4 of the version 7
file format specification). It now reads the binding punctuation bit:
1 and 3 set the paragraph's Burasagari to Force, and 0 and 2 set it to
none, which is VectorCraft's own mapping. The value is modal, lasts into
the next text object, and an operand other than 0 to 3 leaves it as it
was. The repeat character, `TG`, `Xu` and `Tu` are still skipped.
docs/mcp.md and the `ParaStyle::burasagari` doc comment name the legacy
`.ai` case as the exception to imported text keeping `none`.
Add Used Colors, New Color Group from artwork and Select All Unused
looked up each linked paint's swatch by searching every swatch. They now
build one map of swatch names first, with the built-in Registration
swatch, and the first swatch of each name as before.
New tests and test cases: New Color Group from artwork with repeated,
near-equal and -0.0 colors, a Registration link and names that need
numbering, and New Swatch and Edit Color Group with near-equal and
-0.0 colors; each checks the names, their order and one undo step.
New Swatch with several colors, New Color Group and Edit Color Group's
extra colors searched every swatch and group for each candidate name
of each new swatch. They now build the set of taken names once
(FreeSwatchNames, with take_new for New Swatch's default names and
insert for the group name and the group's own swatches) and keep it up
to date as they add swatches. The names they give are unchanged.
swatch.addUsedColors and swatch.unused searched lists inside loops over
colors and swatches, checking each color against every color or swatch
before it. They now keep the same ordered lists and use hash sets and
maps for membership and lookup. A color's key is its model and the bits
of its components with -0.0 read as 0.0, so the key agrees with `==`; a
color with a NaN component matches nothing, as before.
Add Used Colors names its new swatches through
Document::free_swatch_names, which collects the taken swatch and color
group names once and gives the same names free_swatch_name gives when the
swatches are added one at a time. The added swatches, their names, order
and links, the undo step, and the swatches Select All Unused lists are
unchanged.
An envelope mapped type from its laid-out box: ascent to descent for
point type, the frame for area type. The distorted glyphs then filled
less of the envelope than other art does, with room above the capitals
and below the baseline.
The envelope now maps type from the bounds of its glyph outlines,
underlines and strikethroughs when the type is on its own, in groups
and layers, or used as a clipping path. Inline graphics count by their
boxes. Rotated type and type in perspective map from their outlines as
they are drawn. Make with Mesh,
Make with Top Object and Reset with Mesh without Maintain Shape use
those bounds. Type that draws nothing keeps its laid-out box, and so
does type inside any other object, such as a blend, a repeat or a
symbol instance. Shrink Text to Fit type is measured as it is laid out
on the page.
vectorcraft-text's envelope_ink measures the type, and
register_envelope_ink registers it with the document crate. The engine
session, Renderer::new, live evaluation in vectorcraft-effects and the
.ai reader register it. The document crate keeps the measured boxes per
thread, by object and by a hash of the content, and measures again when
the type, the fonts, the hyphenation exceptions or the transform's
scale or rotation change.
This is VectorCraft's own rule. Envelopes of type made in VectorCraft
and in saved files map from the glyph outline bounds instead of the
type's laid-out box, so they redraw differently.
