With a Type tool and exactly one character selected, the canvas shows up
to five of that character's alternate glyphs in a row beside it. A click
runs the command the Glyphs panel's double-click runs, as one undo step;
an arrow at the end opens the Glyphs panel on Alternates for Current
Selection when the character has more. Preferences > Type > Show
Character Alternates (showCharacterAlternates, on by default) turns the
row off.
An image or a gradient mesh with a visible Crop Marks effect, or with a
Vector Halftone effect that makes dots, is measured in a plot of the art's
bounds. A halftone that makes no dots, such as one past the effect's cell
limit, leaves the image out as before.
Select > Start Global Edit now also takes rotated copies of the selected
object or group, in the highlights before the start, in the Global Edit
Options' Results count and in the started edit. An edit reaches each copy
turned by that copy's angle, so an anchor moved to the right on the
selected object moves downward on a copy turned a quarter turn clockwise.
The copy's angle is the one that lays the selected object's anchors and
handles on the copy's in order (a least-squares fit in the unit box),
and the copy is the same shape when each point then lies within a
millionth of the larger side of the copy's box. Reflected copies and
copies stretched along one direction stay unmatched. With Size, a rotated
copy matches when it is the object rotated without scaling. The no-match
message now names only reflected copies, in every catalog that has it.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/gaps.md, docs/ui-parity.md and the evidence list
in docs/target-app-parity.md.
The bounds of a plot of the art's bounds no longer count the objects a
plot leaves out (placed images, objects at 0% opacity, unpainted paths)
when they sit in the art of a symbol. An instance whose symbol holds
nothing else is left out, so a document with only such instances is
refused with "nothing to export". The art of a dynamic symbol, and of a
group with effects, fills or strokes of its own, is measured whole.
The Gujarati catalog lists every menu and command label, and it had no
rows for Show Learn Tab, Show Skill and Back One Level. It now has them.
docs/mcp.md said the For you and Skills tab buttons run learn.tab. A tab
button runs it only when the panel shows the other tab, and the page now
says so.
- A graph opened from a .ai file now saves `placedArt` too. Moving or
restyling one of its labels before the first redraw no longer moves or
stretches the plot.
- Type > Create Outlines on a graph's labels now adjusts the saved bounds,
so the outlines do not read as a move at the next redraw. A move of
the graph made before the outlining is still followed.
- A `placedArt` with no width or height falls back to the bounds of all
of the art, as a graph saved without it does.
- `art_bounds` moves to the doc crate so the .ai reader can use it.
- docs/mcp.md describes `placedArt`, `placed` and when a redraw follows
a move.
- Tests: a legend across the top, a legend after a right value axis and
legend labels of several lines keep the plot in place through label
size changes; moving a category label on its own; outlining labels
before and after a move; a flat `placedArt`; a label moved in an
opened .ai graph.
docs/mcp.md said that for both learn.markStep and learn.resetProgress a
missing, non-string or unknown `tutorial` is an error. learn.resetProgress
takes no params and clears the progress without reading `tutorial`
(crates/ui-egui/src/panels/learn.rs), so the sentence now names the
tutorial errors under learn.markStep alone, and the rule that an error
changes nothing stays with them.
livePaint.info reported only the top fill of each face and the top
stroke and weight of each edge, so a lower row that draws under an
unpainted top row was not visible to a client. Each face and edge now
also carries `appearance`: every fill and stroke row, bottom first, as
{index, kind, paint, opacity, visible, width (strokes only), drawn}.
`drawn` follows Expand's rule row by row: the part is shown with an
opacity above 0, and the row is shown, has paint and an opacity above
0, and a stroke has a weight above 0. The existing `fill`, `stroke`,
`width`, `bounds`, `sources`, `gapOptions` and `gaps` fields are
unchanged.
The params text no longer says the group defaults to the selection:
the command takes `group`, or `id` when `group` is left out, and
returns an error without either.
The artboard commands that take `index` or `indices`, a replayed
`selectedArtboards`, the artboard Align and Distribute commands
(`artboard`, `activeArtboard`), `edit.newDocumentFromState` and Paste in
Place, in Front and in Back now report a value that is not a whole number
with "`<key>` must be a whole number" or "`<key>` must contain whole
numbers", naming the key. A whole number that names no artboard or state
keeps `no such artboard`, `no history state N` or the paste range message.
- A null artboard `index` is `missing index`, as for other required keys.
- An `indices` value that is not a list, an empty list and a malformed
entry each have their own message naming the key.
- `edit.newDocumentFromState` still uses the current state for an omitted
or null `index`.
- Paste checks the form of both `artboard` and `artboards` before either
range.
