From 6bbf30e52abc8035422898f056663cdd707f3fb6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: andeecollard Date: Fri, 16 Oct 2026 22:15:32 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Image Trace: a simpler contour walk with no precomputed direction table contour::trace_mask built a table of outgoing directions for every pixel corner in a raster pass and then followed it. It now works out each turn during the walk from the two pixels ahead of the current corner: right if the one ahead on the right is outside, straight if the one ahead on the left is, else left (so at a saddle it still turns right and diagonal pixels stay apart). Loop starts are found by scanning the pixels for a top edge on the outline, with one flag per pixel for a top edge already walked. The walk is bounded by the grid size, and a mask of the wrong length now gives no loops instead of failing an assert_eq!. The output is identical: the_walk_equals_the_stored_direction_walk compares it with a test-only copy of the previous walk on all 65,536 4x4 masks and 400 seeded 23x17 masks. Time (best of 7, release, 4 cores): the walk alone on 2000x2000 masks 19.1 vs 26.6 ms (smooth pattern), 81.3 vs 93.2 ms (12% random pixels), 223.1 vs 238.1 ms (50% random); whole 1000x1000 traces 73.1 vs 77.1 ms (Black and White), 249.6 vs 251.7 ms (Color, 6 colours), 214.1 vs 218.6 ms (Color, 6 colours, Noise 1), same segment counts.

Update it when a featur Disable, Enable, Unlink and Link Opacity Mask and Opacity Mask Options (`transparency.setOpacityMask`) record no undo step when every mask they act on already has the flags they set. - **Image Trace, thin closed outlines:** generated `fit::snap_area_tests` verify nonzero interiors after straightening, opposite closed-boundary winding and Noise controls; see [quality notes](image-trace-quality.md#thin-closed-outlines-with-snap-curves-to-lines). Scores and hours unchanged; open-piece fitting is unchanged. - **Image Trace small contours:** closed fits too small to form an editable subpath retain their positioned outline, including holes. Source-generated island, hole/winding and stepped-region regressions cover Corners and Noise; defaults, parity scores and estimates are unchanged. +- **Image Trace, simpler contour walk:** `contour::trace_mask` works out each turn from the pixels during the walk, with no precomputed direction table and no assertion; identical loops to the previous walk on every 4 × 4 mask (see [quality notes](image-trace-quality.md#a-simpler-contour-walk)). - **Image Trace, measured:** `crates/trace/tests/quality` traces drawings made from known vector art with every preset and [`image-trace-quality.md`](image-trace-quality.md) records the numbers against the baseline. Black and White, Grayscale and Color place each edge by the blend of the pixels across it (to a fraction of a pixel on anti-aliased and blurred images; hard-edged images are read as staircases) and fit outlines as Flat Logo does. *Measured* on each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants: Default's outlines went from 0.31 px off on average to 0.09 (largest 1.51 to 1.02), Black and White Logo's from 0.27 to 0.06 with 0.3 kinks per trace where it had 15, and the gaps between abutting paths from 64 px to 22. On clean curved shapes Black and White Logo is 0.02 px off (the open tracer measured beside it: 0.20). The palette is made of the picture's own colours (blends along edges take none of it, colours that noise made of one colour merge, a blend pixel goes to one of the two colours it lies between; #1504): 16 Colors on flat art, all variants, went from 70 paths to 4.2 and from 5.1 px off to 0.13, with no path left in a colour the art doesn't have (5.9 before). Photos are smoothed within their tones before they are quantised and stacked layers go by lightness (#1516): High Fidelity Photo went from 3,653 paths to 121 with its colour error down from 2.30 to 1.75, and a 16 megapixel photo-like image is traced in 3.5 s where 4 megapixels were refused. Since then, by the same harness: outlines are cut at their junctions and each shared piece is fitted once (#1535: gaps and overlaps between abutting paths 22 to 50 px of area down to under 2); layers are traced within the box of their pixels and a few at a time (#1546: a 16 megapixel photo 3.9 GB to 0.9 GB); black and white are read against the image's own black and the paper near each edge (#1563, for thin lines in blurred and scanned art); Ignore Color and the Auto Color and Outline presets (#1574); Snap Curves To Lines levels lines within 2.5 degrees of level or upright (#1593, the angle our choice); Create: Strokes puts centre lines in the middle of their ink and makes them as wide as it (#1595: Outline 0.295 to 0.052 px from the true centre line, 18.4 to 2.7 anchors a stroke); sharp corners whose pixel is mostly outside the shape stay corners (#1609: Default 69% to 76% kept). Three options, each off unless asked for as the legacy presets have them: Shapes (#1609: 57 to 62% of plain circles, ellipses, rectangles and regular polygons come out as live shapes, rounded rectangles rarely), Auto Grouping (#1618: paths grouped with what lies inside them, the same picture) and Gradients (#1627: linear gradients traced as one gradient-filled path; on gradient inputs 6 Colors' colour error 2.12 to 0.62 with 6.4 to 3.4 paths, none found in flat art). Snap Curves To Lines moves no end of a line by more than 1.6 px, so long lines a degree or two off stay as the image has them (#1647: Technical Drawing's largest distance 4.21 px to 1.46). Flat Logo takes the tones a scan's uneven paper makes of one colour for one colour (#1657: on scans 470 paths and 21 px off to 8.5 paths and 0.09 px). Shapes finds rounded rectangles and shapes in aliased, blurred and scanned art (#1845: 57 to 62% of the plain shapes up to 98 to 100%, no false shape but one line 2 px wide). Stroked lines get square caps where their ink is cut square, and a wide end that turned towards a corner goes back on its line (#1846: Outline's largest distance 2.94 px to 0.88, 14 anchors to 10). Each of the 14 documented presets has an enhanced version with Auto Grouping and, in all but High Fidelity Photo, Shapes (#1847), measured beside its preset: equal or better within 0.005 px and 1% of edge ΔE on every preset's own inputs (Default 0.091 to 0.083 px); Auto Grouping keeps traced order in its groups, which removed a light seam along the counters of letters. Gradients grows a gradient over the pixels noise and soft rims took off it (#1848: blurred and noisy linear gradients 3 to 11 paths beside the gradient down to 0.5 with 6 Colors, 24 to 56 down to 0.5 to 1.5 with High Fidelity Photo). Silhouettes is 0.52 px off because its threshold is 200 (0.11 px at 128). Still weak, by the same numbers: rounded rectangles and other line-and-arc outlines take 12 to 16 anchors (the fitter does not split lines from arcs), blurred and scanned polygons lose corners, hairlines under half a pixel are lost to the threshold, aliased art is about 0.25 px off, a scan's uneven paper splits into tones when more colours are asked for than the art has, stroke junctions stay at their skeleton pixels, a three-stop gradient in a small or scanned disc is not found, radial gradients stay bands (a draft, #1849, traces them; the documented option is for linear ones, so it waits for a decision), near-regular polygons a few dozen pixels across are made regular with Shapes (up to 0.5 px off), and aliased stroked lines are 0.8 px off at worst. - **Image Trace Flat Logo mode:** a fourth mode beside Black and White, Grayscale and Color, for flat-colour logos. Each pixel is read as a blend of the logo's colours (found automatically or named), the blend is interpolated smoothly and every outline is placed where two colours are equally present, so edges are accurate to a fraction of a pixel. Outlines are then cleaned: corners the blur rounded are put back, near-straight runs and near-circular arcs become exact lines and arcs, the rest is fitted with as few Béziers as the tolerance allows, touching colours overlap by a hair so no gap opens, and an outline that strays from the raw contour is fitted plainly instead. Gradients and photos are refused with advice to use Color. *Measured* (a local experiment, not run in CI): a flat-colour logo's vector original was rendered down to a soft 199 × 100 px transparent PNG, traced, and the result compared with the original at 1600 px wide. The built-in colour presets (6 Colors, 16 Colors, High Fidelity Photo, Low Fidelity Photo) had a mean edge error of 2.5 to 3.4 px and region overlap of 0.88 to 0.91; Flat Logo had 0.78 px and 0.966 (0.48 px and 0.975 from a crisp source), in about 0.1 s. Limits: flat-colour art only; needle-thin sharp tips are shortened by about 1.7 source pixels because the blur erases them; it works at no more than 1024 px on the long side (larger images are averaged down first); only one logo family has been scored against a vector original. - **Advanced art:** live Blends (steps/distance/smooth colour, editable spine, anchor-targeted Blend tool, faithful interpolation, knockout), Envelope Distort (warp/mesh/top object, Reset, full Envelope Options, mesh handles, Edit Contents; type, images, symbols, gradients, patterns and appearance distorted everywhere), Liquify tools with options and pen pressure, Puppet Warp with rotating pins, Perspective Grid with presets, movable planes and projected type (choosing a perspective tool shows the grid; Hide Grid hides it with the tool still chosen), Gradient Mesh, Shape Builder (stroke-only open paths and lines cut the regions they cross and enclose regions of their own, and regions they bound merge without seams where the lines cross at rounded coordinates (#893); filled open paths count as closed; erase mode while Alt/Option is held: a minus pointer, red highlights of what will go, a click or drag deletes the regions touched, the pieces of open lines and the edges (outline pieces between the points where paths meet, opening their paths there) it passes over, one undo step, `shapeBuilder.merge {erase}` and `shapeBuilder.regions` edges over MCP), Live Paint (every path an edge, open lines included), Image Trace (12 presets, colour layers traced in parallel; a trace past two million anchor points is refused with advice rather than running out of memory, an image over 64 megapixels is traced scaled down to that size (aspect kept, paths at the image's own size) and one over 192 megapixels is refused, and a selection too large to outline shows its bounds (#525); Object › Image Trace › Make and Make and Expand trace at once with the Default preset, #543; with an image selected the Control bar and the Properties panel show Image Trace, whose arrow traces with any preset, Mask (`object.maskImage`: a clipping path on the image's outline, selected so its handles crop), Crop Image (a crop box on the image, starting on its part over the artboard, dragged by its handles or inside it, the outside dimmed, with X/Y/W/H, Apply and Cancel in the Control bar, Enter and Escape, #734; `object.cropImage {rect}` for agents, `{trim: true}` cuts an image to its pixels that aren't fully transparent, pixel for pixel) and Embed or Unembed in place of Fill and Stroke; with an Image Trace object selected, its Preset (choosing another traces again), View, the Image Trace panel and Expand, plus Release in Properties; the five View modes (Tracing Result, with Outlines, Outlines, Outlines with Source Image, Source Image) redraw a trace on screen without tracing again, are saved with it and `imageTrace.setView` sets them, while exports and Expand keep the result; the panel's Advanced section is a header that stays open or closed as it was left (part of #641); Color mode's Palette: Limited, Full Tone (as many colours as the tones need, Less … More), Automatic (flat art with its own colours, else Full Tone; a heuristic) and Document Library (the most used colours of the document's swatches or a swatch library, filled with the swatch colours as they are), part of #641; Advanced › Create: Fills and/or Strokes, where lines up to the Stroke width trace as stroked centre lines (distance transform, thinning, a skeleton graph with spurs pruned, curve fitting; one width per line; without Fills, wider areas become stroked outlines), part of #641), pattern swatches with pattern editing mode, live Repeat (radial/grid/mirror).
