Art and pattern brushes bent their art along the chords of the flattened path, with the tangent blended linearly between vertices, and scatter brushes placed and turned their copies on the same chords. On a smooth curve the bent art's edges followed the chords, and the curve fitted to the result turned by up to a few degrees at its smooth anchors. - On a chord that comes from flattening a curve, the frame now follows the cubic through both vertices with their tangents, so position and tangent meet at every vertex. A vertex tangent between two such chords is the tangent of the circle through the vertex and its neighbors, and it stays within a few times the flattening tolerance of each chord, so the frame stays near the curve next to a long chord. A curved chord whose end tangents turn further than that keeps to the chord. - Art on a line of the path stays on the line, and a line keeps its own direction where it meets a curve. - A calligraphic nib that follows the pen samples between vertices on the same frame, so its outline keeps its distance from the curve.
