Effect > Blur > Radial Blur... has a Blur Center box. A press or a drag
in the box sets the point the spin or zoom starts from, the arrow keys
move it 1% (10% with Shift), and Horizontal and Vertical fields take the
same position in percent. Screen readers get the box with both values.
- blur.radial takes centerX and centerY, from 0 to 1 across and down the
object's bounds (0.5 each by default), so the center moves and scales
with the object. An effect saved without them draws as before.
- effect.apply and effect.setParams refuse a value outside 0 to 1, or
one that is not a number; a saved one draws at the nearest edge.
- The raster's margin is measured from the center, and the center stays
in the object's own bounds when a Rasterize splits the stack.
- Params text, docs/mcp.md, the evidence line in
docs/target-app-parity.md and a Blur Center row in every catalog.
When the member limit is reached among the paths of a compound clipping
path that has geometry effects of its own, the compound path still
becomes one path of its reshaped geometry. The paths that were not
visited go into that geometry as they are, and their own effects are
not applied. The doc comment of with_clip_effects_applied_while said
that they keep their effects, which holds for the members of a group or
layer only.
New test a_compound_clipping_path_takes_its_own_effect_at_the_member_limit
covers the compound path.
A group or layer in a clipping path that has geometry effects of its
own is walked once for its members' effects and once for its own, and
its members count toward the member limit each time. The doc comment
of members_as_drawn now states this.
When a group's geometry effects evaluate the members of the group, a
clip group's clipping path takes the geometry effects in it first. A
clipping path that is a group, layer or compound path had each of its
members reshaped at every depth without counting them, so a large
clipping path was reshaped past the SYMBOL_ART_MAX_NODES members that
members_as_drawn documents.
Each member of a clipping path now counts as one visited member. Once
the limit is reached, that member and the members after it keep their
effects, as the other members past the limit do. The canvas, the
export bake and clipping type are unchanged: they do not count members.
A path's Drop Shadow, glow, blur, Feather or pixel filter listed before a
Transform effect that makes copies was drawn once under all the copies, at
the object's own distances. Each copy now carries those raster effects,
scaled by the copy's mean scale, with a Drop Shadow's offset turned,
reflected and scaled with the copy. Raster effects listed after the
Transform effect still paint once around all the copies. Copies that stop
at the effect budget keep their effects, and a Transform effect without
copies draws as before.
The canvas, the object's bounds, export, baking and Expand Appearance use
the same art. Type, images, symbol instances, groups, a fill's or stroke's
own copying Transform effect, and paths with Rasterize or an SVG filter
before the copying effect keep one set of raster effects.
Evaluating a layer's Pathfinder or geometry effects asked each member
whether a sublayer below it held a ruler guide, then asked the members
of every selected sublayer or group the same question again on the way
down. A sublayer nested N deep was scanned once per layer or group above
it, so a chain of N sublayers cost N(N+1)/2 scans.
One read walk now looks at each member once at most and records which
members hold or lead to a sublayer's guides, and the move visits and
copies only those. As before, the groups inside a sublayer that holds no
guide are not looked into. The guides taken, their order, their hidden
and locked state, the art left behind and the sharing of untouched
members are the same as before.
Type used as a clip group's clipping path, with a geometry effect on the
object, on one of its fills or strokes, or a perspective, was baked into
its outlined pieces with the effects applied, so SVG, PDF and the other
exports clipped by all of them while the canvas clips by the plain glyph
outlines. The baked clipping path was also a group, so the type's fills
and strokes were not painted.
bake_node now bakes such a clip group as the canvas draws it: the
clipping path is a path of the region effects::clip_outline gives, the
type's fills (effects baked) paint behind the clipped art inside the
clip, and its strokes paint over it outside the clip, in a group that
keeps the clip group's id and transparency.
Three cases still clipped differently from what the clipping path draws:
- A clip group with an appearance of its own (a Drop Shadow, a geometry
effect) was measured for culling by its plain clipping path, so a view
showing only the part of the clip that an effect moved drew nothing.
The renderer now grows that measure by the clip region in this case
too.
- The geometry effects on the fills and strokes of an unpainted clipping
path applied after the effects of a group around it. They now apply
first, as for other members. A clipping path that paints keeps them
live, so its fill and stroke still draw.
- Export baked a compound clipping path with an effect of its own from
its raw paths, dropping the effects on those paths. It now bakes the
clipping path as the canvas clips by it, and the pieces it bakes into
get ids of their own.
An instance whose baked art passed the export's placed symbol art budget,
or drew too deep, gave its count back, so any number of instances could
each bake their art in full and be dropped without the work counting.
- Art baked and then dropped is now counted with the placed art against
the budget, both before more art is baked and when baked art is checked.
- While an instance's art bakes, the art's objects before baking are held
in the budget, so instances nested in it are placed only within what is
left.
Documents whose placed art fits the budget export as before.
Checking an Extrude & Bevel (both kinds) or Inflate effect built every
shape's profile about the profiles' bounds, then built the fill and
stroke solids again about the bounds of the regions they paint. A
filled shape's profile is its fill's solid, so that solid was built
twice. When a stroke reaches past the shape, the first build also used
bounds the effect does not draw it about.
The check now builds the profile on its own only where no drawn solid
is built from it: every shape for Rotate, and for Extrude & Bevel and
Inflate a shape with no fill (strokes only, or no paint). A filled
shape's solid is built once, about the bounds the effect draws it
about. The shadow check is unchanged.
Tests count the solids the check builds: an object with a fill and a
stroke, a group of two such members, an effect on the fill and the
shadow on; a shape with no fill still has its profile built.
An instance whose symbol art has live effects is replaced in the export by a group holding the baked art. That group now takes the instance's attributes as well, so a PDF export keeps the instance's URL as a link annotation over the art where its effects draw it.
Hidden instances, instances in hidden groups, on template layers, and
on hidden layers or layers that do not print when the exporter leaves
those out are no longer placed for PDF, print, EPS and DXF. Their art
was baked and counted toward the 16,000,000-object limit for placed
symbol art, so it could leave a visible instance written without its
effects.
bake_document_placing_symbols takes a WrittenLayers value: PDF passes
the layers its settings write, EPS writes layers that do not print but
not hidden ones, and DXF writes both. Print removes the layers that do
not print before baking.
Under a colored light, a fill in a gradient with transparent stops carries
an opacity mask, and a graphic mapped onto Extrude & Bevel's cap or onto a
Plane was placed twice: once on the fill's cap with the mask and again on
the stroke's cap. The fill and stroke now share one graphic when they have
the same opacity and blending mode, as they do without the mask. It is
drawn after the last of their faces on that cap and takes the mask of the
surface it is drawn after, so an opaque stroke leaves it unmasked. A
masked fill without a stroke keeps its masked graphic, and members of a
3D group drawn with a mask keep graphics of their own. Unmasked fills and
strokes alone draw as before.
When PDF, print, EPS and DXF export place a symbol's art to bake its
effects, the art now carries the stain the instance's fill gives it, as
it did before the art was placed. The art is stained first and its
effects apply to the stained colors.
A Fill + Offset Path below a group's Contents painted every clipped member
of a clip group among its members, so art hidden outside the clipping path
bulged the offset outline. A clip group (or clipping layer) now adds the
region its clipping path clips to.
PDF, print, EPS and DXF exports now check the art of each placed symbol
instance after its effects are baked. The objects it holds, including
the copies a Transform effect makes, opacity mask art and the art of
instances placed inside it (counted once), count against the export's
16,000,000-object budget. An instance whose baked art passes the budget,
or would draw deeper than the 128 levels a document may draw, stays an
instance.
- doc: DrawnHeights measures how deep an object outside the layers
draws, symbols and patterns it uses included.
- effects: the bake tracks how deep each baked object sits, and a
rejected candidate releases what it and the instances in it charged.
Revolve sorted its faces by the depth of each face's middle only, so a
tilted profile with long edges, or a profile of several contours, could
draw a nearer face under a farther one where the two overlap.
- A revolved face carries its view-space plane (none when its corners lie
off one plane or reach the eye), and Revolve (Classic)'s facets keep it.
- Revolve and Revolve (Classic) put each surface's faces through the local
depth order Extrude & Bevel uses for its fill and strokes: when two
overlapping faces are drawn the wrong way round, every pair of
overlapping faces goes in the order of their depths at the middle of the
overlap, within the same 4,000,000-comparison limit. A surface already
in the right order keeps it.
- A group's members, sorted together by depth, go through the same order
across members.
