A fill or stroke row that the Appearance commands gave a graph label, its
object opacity, and the characters the Eyedropper gave it lasted only
until the graph was drawn again: the graph stored nothing for a label's
rows, and the Eyedropper's character attributes were not stored.
- The graph keeps, for value axis numbers, category labels and legend
labels, the paint, weight, opacity and blend mode of a label's topmost
visible fill and stroke row, their order and place relative to the
Characters row, and the label's object opacity and blend mode
(labelStyles valuesRows, categoriesRows, legendRows). Every label of
the kind gets those rows when the graph is drawn again, with a placed
gradient fitted to each label.
- Every appearance.* command stores them, and so do graphicStyle.apply
and redefine and the paint, stroke, gradient and transparency edits
aimed at a row, even when the label already showed them.
transparency.set without a row and object.setProps store only the
object opacity and blend mode. With several labels of a kind, the last
one edited wins.
- appearance.copyFrom onto all of a label's text stores the character
attributes it applied and, from type, the paragraph attributes; a
transparency pick stores the object opacity and blend mode, and
append stores the rows.
- paint.setFill and paint.setStroke store a character fill or stroke
only when the characters take the paint (the whole label, or all of
its text highlighted with the Type tool); aimed at a row, they store
the row.
- Document Color Mode and swatch edits reach the kept rows.

The eye and lock on a guide's row in the Layers panel hide or lock that
guide alone, in one undo step, and a drag down either column takes guide
rows along with the other rows it passes. A hidden guide is not drawn and
does not snap, and its row is dimmed; a locked guide is drawn and snaps
but can't be selected, moved or deleted. Both can be changed while the
guide's layer is hidden or locked, and the guide shows or can be edited
only when its layer allows it as well. The state is kept through save
and reopen.
- layer.setProps takes ruler guide node ids; every other command still
refuses them.
- guide.list rows carry the guide's node id and its own hidden and
locked state.
- Alt-click and Ctrl/Cmd+Alt-click on a guide row's eye or lock act on
the other layers, as on any row in that layer.
- Object > Lock > Selection and Object > Hide > Selection lock or hide the
selected ruler guides with the selected art, in one undo step, outside
isolation mode. Unlock All and Show All, document scope, also unlock or
show guides locked or hidden on their own and select them as guides.
- Guide rows dropped on the Layers panel's trash delete their guides
(guide.remove {indexes}). A click on a guide row clears the highlighted
rows, so Delete deletes the guide; with no row highlighted the trash
deletes the selected guides.
- guide.remove and guide.setLayer refuse index together with indexes and
an indexes value that is not a list, and count a repeated index once.
guide.select, guide.remove and guide.setLayer refuse an indexes list of
more than 10,000 entries; guide.setLayer cut such a list short before.
- Moving, deleting or moving to another layer a guide that is hidden or
locked on its own fails with "the guide is hidden or locked"; a guide
on a hidden or locked layer still fails with "the guide is on a hidden
or locked layer".

draw_shape's rotation also turns rectangles and ellipses; object.reflect's numeric axis is counter-clockwise from horizontal. A test covers that axis and the Scatter brush's rotation range, which every_turn_param_says_which_way_it_turns can't reach.
The params docs now state the direction (and the zero) of each angle or
rotation a command takes; behaviour is unchanged. Shape creation, text.create,
the grids, add-on shapes, saved views, Liquify, Puppet Warp pins, Mirror and
Radial Repeat and Vector Halftone turn clockwise; text character rotation,
gradients, the eraser tip and print screen angles turn counter-clockwise.
view.saved.new's rotation note changes its schema, so the API level goes to 3.
A test walks every command's params doc and fails when a param named like an
angle or rotation doesn't say clockwise or counter-clockwise.
With Measure Type by Glyph Bounds on, point type is measured by its
glyph outlines and its underline and strikethrough bars, as the canvas
draws them. A typed W or H gives what is drawn that size, and underlined
or struck-through spaces are measured by their bars instead of the em
box.
The texts now say that each point type object selected as an object
(not inside a selected group) is measured this way, that moved type
snaps by its ink box, and which Arrange Tools commands follow the
option: Swap Objects, Replace with Top Object, Set Size of Each and
Sort Objects. Arrange in Grid and Group Overlapping Objects keep
measuring visual bounds.
Measure Type by Glyph Bounds (`typeGlyphBounds`, off by default) is in
Preferences > Type > Glyph Bounds and the Transform panel menu. With it
on, the bounding box, the Transform, Control bar and Properties X, Y, W
and H, `object.setBounds`, the transform tools' reference point and the
Arrange commands measure point type selected on its own by the ink of
its glyphs instead of its em box. A typed W or H scales the live type
until its ink has that size.
- The engine caches each type object's ink in text space with its
layout bounds; the cache is not saved.
- Use Preview Bounds adds the characters' strokes, and type with
geometry effects is measured as drawn. Skewed type is measured by its
outlines.
- Type that draws nothing, area type, type on a path and type inside a
selected group are measured as before. Align and Distribute keep
following Align to Glyph Bounds.

An object opacity or blend mode set on a path directly in a graph series, and
the blend mode of its topmost visible fill or stroke, were lost when the graph
was drawn again. The graph now stores them per series next to the row opacity
it already stores, and puts them on every path directly in the series when it
draws the series again.
- transparency.set and object.setProps store the object's opacity and blend
mode. A value the mark already has still replaces the value another mark of
the series stored.
- appearance.clear, appearance.transfer, appearance.copyFrom with Transparency
picked up, graphicStyle.apply without add and graphicStyle.redefine store
the object's opacity and blend mode they leave on the mark.
- The other Appearance and style commands store them when they change them
on a mark.
- Every command that stores the opacity of the topmost visible fill or stroke
also stores its blend mode. A Filled Lines band's outline takes the stored
stroke opacity and blend mode and keeps its black 0.25 pt stroke.
- An opacity and blend mode are stored as a pair from the edited mark:
setting only the opacity of one mark also stores that mark's blend mode.
- A graph design's copy in a series keeps its own values.

Enter Isolation Mode worked while an opacity mask was edited, and Edit
Opacity Mask and View Opacity Mask worked in isolation mode, so each
mode replaced the other's isolated art. In the reference app, isolation
mode can't be entered while a mask is edited, and mask editing can't be
entered in isolation mode.
object.isolate and perspective.editText, which shows type in isolation
mode, are now off while an opacity mask is edited, and a call returns
an error that ends "stop editing the opacity mask first". In isolation
mode transparency.editOpacityMask and transparency.viewOpacityMask are
off, and transparency.makeOpacityMask refuses one target, an object or
a layer, which it would take into mask editing; a call returns an error
that ends "exit isolation mode first". Make Opacity Mask with two
objects still masks one with the other. Pattern editing mode does not
count as isolation mode for these commands.
Object > Perspective > Edit Text, the canvas context menu and the
Transparency panel's menu and Make Mask button follow the commands'
enablement. A click or Alt-click on the mask thumbnail in isolation
mode shows the error and does not edit the mask. While a mask is
edited, the Contextual Task Bar leaves out Isolate, and the Properties
panel's Quick Actions leave out Isolate Group.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The reference app disables its Lock, Hide and Show All menus in
isolation mode. In VectorCraft every item of Object › Lock and
Object › Hide, Unlock All and Show All worked there.
In isolation mode, object.lock, object.lock.above,
object.lock.otherLayers, object.hide, object.hide.above,
object.hide.otherLayers, object.unlockAll and object.showAll are now
off. Their menu items are greyed out, and a call returns an error
that ends "exit isolation mode first". The Contextual Task Bar's
Lock button is greyed out too, and the Properties panel's Quick
Actions leave out Lock. Pattern editing mode and opacity mask editing do not count as
isolation mode for these commands. The check is outside_isolation in
cmd.rs, with has_selection_outside_isolation beside it.
