Horizontal Scale and Vertical Scale accept any number above 0 and at most 4000000 %, and Baseline Shift accepts -4000000 to 4000000 pt, the limits the document model keeps a character style in. Character Rotation is stored from -180 to 180 degrees, as text.setFormat stores it. A scale outside its limit shows the new message "{label} must be a number above 0 and at most {max}", translated in every catalog that has Basic Character Formats.
Character Style Options and New Character Style get an Advanced
Character Formats section with Horizontal Scale, Vertical Scale,
Baseline Shift, Character Rotation and Language. Empty fields stay
unset, an explicit 100%, 0 degrees or English: USA stays distinct from
unset, and Reset Panel on the section clears only these five. Scales
take 1% to 10000% and baseline shift -1296 pt to 1296 pt, as
text.setRangeStyle does; rotation is stored from -180 to 180 degrees.
Language sets the language the characters are shaped in; hyphenation
and spelling do not change.
A field still as it opened keeps its stored value without the range
check, so a style captured from a scaled type object can be renamed.
The same applies to Basic's Size and Leading minimum.
charStyle.edit keeps a language tag that is not in the list when the
style already has it, so a style read from a file with such a tag can
be edited.
The OpenType panel gets a Position menu after Figure, with Default
Position, Superscript, Subscript, Numerator and Denominator. `numr` and
`dnom` join the extra features (the existing bits keep their indices),
so they round-trip through the stored tags and reach the shaper.
text.setStyle and text.setRangeStyle take `featureChanges`, which turns
features on or off on top of each character's own features in one
command and keeps every tag the list does not name. The Figure menu,
the Position menu and the checkboxes send it, so on a selection whose
characters have different features each character keeps its other
features. Reset OpenType Features still sends `features`.
Catalog rows for Position:, Default Position, Numerator and
Denominator; one line each in docs/type-parity.md and
docs/target-app-parity.md.
The backdrop that takes a click outside the slider strip sensed clicks
with Sense::click(), which egui makes focusable, so Tab stopped on an
invisible full-screen widget. It now uses Sense::CLICK, as the modal
dialog backdrop does; a click outside the strip still keeps the result.
With one Objects on Path group selected, the Selection and Objects on
Path tools show a round handle beyond the top of the group's first
object, joined by a line to its attachment point. Dragging it adds the
angle the pointer turns about that point to the group's Rotate, previewed
while dragging and kept as one undo step on release
(object.objectsOnPath.options). Shift turns in 15 degree steps, Escape
cancels the drag, and the pointer shows the rotate cursor over the
handle.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/mcp.md.
Area type made from the editing data's text document came in with one
row, one column, the 18 pt gutter and the Ascent first baseline,
whatever its frame kept. Each area frame now keeps its rows and columns,
the gutter between rows and the gutter between columns, and its first
baseline (Fixed, Cap Height, Leading or x Height) with its minimum,
scaled with the art's units. Each frame of a thread keeps its own, and a
key that is missing or can't be read leaves that option as it was. A
first baseline the frame keeps is no longer replaced by the fixed one
that matches the file's first line.
AreaOptions gets row_gutter (rowGutter, left out while unset), which
layout spaces rows by; text.areaOptions takes and reports rowGutter, a
gutter given alone sets both, and the Area Type Options dialog shows
Row Gutter.
Every graphic in a version 7 wraparound group (`*w` … `*W`), before
or after its type, is now a wrap object with an offset of 0 instead of
the 6 pt default, and a group with no type in it marks all of its
graphics. A graphic before the type is below it, so the type flows
around it only after it is moved above. Operands on `*w` or `*W`, and
a `*w` inside a compound path, are errors.
Docs: docs/file-format-parity.md.
The status bar said "Opened with 1 note(s)", "Saved <path> with 1 note(s)",
"Discarded 1 recovered document(s)" and "Restored 1 recovered document(s)",
and the Global Edit options showed "Result(s): 1". They now use the singular
for 1 and the plural otherwise, in English through i18n::msg_n and in every
catalog through @msgplural rows (the Results line through an @plural row).
The engine's warnings for linked images and placed documents output as their
previews, and its errors for a page past a placed file's last page or
artboard, also name their counts in the singular or the plural.
The catalogs drop the rows no message reads any more: the plain "(s)" rows
of the changed messages and the @msg row for "Packaged {n} file(s){note}".
Follows #5002.
Window › Swatch Libraries and the Swatches panel's library menu get a
Patterns submenu with Geometric Patterns, a built-in library of eleven
black pattern swatches drawn in code (dots, stripes, a checkerboard, a
grid, diamonds, triangles, crosses and a zigzag).
- Clicking a pattern in its library panel adds the pattern and its
swatch to the document and applies it to the active fill or stroke
(Alt: the other one), as one undo step. A second click reuses the
swatch; a different pattern under the same name keeps its name and
the library's pattern comes in numbered.
- swatch.library.list lists the pattern libraries after the gradient
libraries (category "patterns"), and swatch.library.add brings a
pattern swatch's pattern as pasting art painted with it does.
- The library panel draws each pattern tile from the library's pattern.
- "Geometric Patterns" is translated in every catalog.
The Actions panel menu has Duplicate, between New Set… and Delete. With
an action selected it copies that action to right after it in the same
set; otherwise it copies the current set, with all its actions, to right
after that set. The copy is named after the original with " copy" added
and is selected, and a copied set gets an id of its own. Copies are
saved with the other sets.
ui.actionSet.duplicate {set?: index, action?: index} does the copy and
returns {set, action?}. An index past the last set or action is an
error. A recording into a later set and an open Set Options or Batch
dialog stay on their own set and action.
The bucket outlines the face under the pointer at its Width setting and an
edge at half of it (4 px and 2 px by default), as the help page says faces
are highlighted with a thick line and edges with a thin line. The Live
Paint Selection tool keeps one width for faces and edges.
dataset.import read two header cells that named one variable (City
and City, or Shown and #Shown) into the same column, so each row kept
only the last non-blank cell and the other value was dropped without a
word. The import is now refused with the two column numbers, and the
message has a row in every complete-message catalog.
dataset.import replaced the reason for a refused cell with "value for
`X` must match its variable kind", so a visibility value such as
maybe and a graph value over 262,144 bytes gave the same message. The
error now keeps the line and gives the reason, and both messages have
a row in every complete-message catalog.
dataset.export checked only the 1 MiB size, so a document with more than
1000 data sets or 256 variables exported a CSV that dataset.import then
refused. Export now refuses such a document with a message naming the
limit, and the messages have rows in every complete-message catalog.
View > Outline was one app-wide flag saved in the interface preferences,
so after Cmd+Y every later launch drew every opened or new document as
outlines, with no fills. The flag is now part of each document's view:
a document opens in Preview, each tab shows its own Outline or Preview,
and the setting is not saved at launch. An older preferences file that
holds the flag still loads, and its value is ignored.
The Outline command and ui.set's outline act on the active document and
are an error without one.
A row's empty text value fills its field with nothing, the same as a row without a value
for that variable, and OK left every empty field out of dataset.set. An untouched OK
therefore removed the empty value, and selecting the row afterward left the previous row's
text on the art.
Edit Data Set now marks the fields that hold the row's empty text value and keeps those
values on OK. Typing in such a field, or setting it with ui.dialog.set, removes the mark, so
emptying it still unsets the variable.
The test for #3818 checked the tool tip's text color and the style's
window fill. It now also checks the fill of the box drawn behind the tool
tip's text, and that the text and the box have a contrast ratio of at
least 4.5, for every brightness and scheme.
The theme's colors went into egui's style for the current system theme
only. When the system's light or dark setting differed from it or
changed while the app ran, egui switched to its other style, which held
egui's defaults: tool tips became a white box with gray text, or with
the theme's light text. Applying a brightness now sets egui's theme to
match, starting from the current style so settings such as the tool tip
delay carry over.
The color sliders now mark the row they edit with `model: "new"`
instead of a dialog-wide flag, and `recolor.apply` reads a row's own
`model` before the command's. Rows the sliders did not edit keep each
color's model, so with RGB art and a CMYK color group, a slider edit of
one row no longer turns the other rows' art CMYK. Another edit of the
row's new color, Reset and rows reduced again remove the mark, and
`recolor.randomize` moves it with its new color.
A dialog opened on a color group or on loose colors no longer offers Tint for a spot color of
the library: OK saves only the new colors, so a tint set there was lost. The row shows the
process modes instead.
The Tint rail and a tinted row's new color chip show a Lab spot color as art linked to it shows
it: the working-CMYK equivalent while the Spot Colors options use CMYK values, with its inks
scaled.
Changing the color count, a Preserve option or Limit to Library rebuilds the rows from the art's colors, which discards a slider edit. The dialog now also forgets that edit, so preview and OK give the art the rebuilt rows' colors in the art's own model instead of the rows' models.
A wheel drag or a harmony rule on the Edit tab now removes a row's tint
when it gives the row another new color, as the color sliders, the hex
field and the Color Picker already do. With Limit to Library, an edit
that snaps back to the row's own color keeps the tint.
recolor.randomize moves each row's tint with its new color when it
shuffles the order, and removes the tint from a color that saturation
and brightness changes.
Reset now also clears the slider edit, so the preview and OK keep each
color's model again instead of sending model "new". Changing the Colors
count, a Preserve flag or Limit to Library, or pressing Reset, with the
preview on reduced the previewed colors, so the rows no longer matched
the art; the preview is now rolled back before the colors are reduced.
The Tint mode follows the swatch recolor.apply links: the first library
swatch of the library color nearest the row's new color, shown as Tint
only when that swatch is a spot color.
The Assign tab gets a Color Mode menu (HSB, RGB, CMYK, Lab, and Tint when
the row's new color is a spot color of the Limit to Library library) and
its sliders under the rows. They edit the first selected row's new color
and are disabled with no row selected. Once they have edited a color in a
mode, the preview and OK send recolor.apply with model "new", so the art
takes the color in that mode.
recolor.apply rows take an optional tint (percent, default 100): art linked
to the row's global or spot library swatch takes that share of its tint.
recolor.randomize keeps a row's tint.
Object > Plug-ins > Color Effects > Find Nearest Swatch... picks a
library (the document's swatches, a built-in library, or a library or
colour book the user saved or loaded) and Fill and Stroke, and lists
each colour of the selection with its three closest swatches and their
CIEDE2000 difference. Apply gives each colour its nearest swatch as one
undo step.
- addon.color.nearestSwatch (a query): the closest swatches of a
library to each colour of the selection's fills and strokes (solid
colours and gradient stops, inside groups and type), or to a colour
given, with deltaE; count 1..50.
- addon.color.applyNearestSwatch: recolours those paints (and gradient
meshes) to their nearest swatch; global and spot swatches link, and a
library's swatches the colours take are added to the document first
(as swatch.library.add adds them), so a spot colour stays spot.
- The library picker Image Trace's Document Library uses moves to the
Swatches panel module and is shared.
- No colour book data ships: only libraries VectorCraft computes or the
user loads are searched.
The Character panel's All Caps, Underline and Strikethrough buttons, and
its menu's All Caps, Underline, Strikethrough, Proportional Metrics,
Tate-chu-yoko and No Break, read the first selected character's style.
With only some characters marked they could show on, and choosing one
turned the attribute off for every character. They now show on only
when every selected character has the attribute, and a click on a mixed
selection turns it on for all, as Small Caps and Standard Vertical Roman
Alignment do. type.underline (Cmd+Shift+U) underlines a mixed selection
the same way. The Character Alignment and Digits submenus check no item
while the selected characters differ.
text.setFormat ignored a value that was not true or false for underline,
strikethrough, allCaps, proportionalMetrics, tateChuYoko,
standardVerticalRoman, noBreak, hyphenate, hyphenateCapitalized and
romanHangingPunctuation. It now refuses it with "`<key>` must be true or
false" and changes nothing, as text.setRangeStyle does.
addon.document.exportAllOpen {folder, format?} writes a copy of every
open document to one folder as Save a Copy does, each named after its
document with taken names numbered so no file is replaced. Documents
keep their paths and modified state, the active one stays active, and a
document that can't be written is reported while the others are still
written. Object > Plug-ins > Document Tools gets Export All Open
Documents as PDF and as SVG, which ask for the folder.
Double-clicking the Live Paint Bucket did nothing, and the tool always
filled on a click, stroked on Shift-click and highlighted in red at
4 px. It now opens Live Paint Bucket Options with Paint Fills, Paint
Strokes, Highlight, Color and Width.
- Paint Fills (on) and Paint Strokes (off) set what a click paints.
With Paint Strokes alone, a click strokes the edge within 4 px of the
pointer. With both on, a click strokes an edge within 4 px and
otherwise fills the face. With both off, a click paints nothing.
- Shift switches Paint Fills alone to Paint Strokes alone and back, and
switches both to Paint Fills alone. With the defaults, Shift-click
strokes the edge as before.
- Highlight turns the outline of the face or edge under the pointer on
or off; Color (a layer color or a custom color) and Width (1 to 20 px)
set it. With Paint Strokes alone, a selection of ordinary paths no
longer highlights a region, since a click there paints nothing.
- The options are tool options (tool.setOption {tool:
"livePaintBucket"}): they last across tool switches and are saved
with the preferences.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Character panel menu > Standard Vertical Roman Alignment, with Show East
Asian Options, is now a check item. It sets a new character attribute,
`standardVerticalRoman` (text.setFormat, text.setRangeStyle), off by
default and saved only when on. In vertical type the marked Latin
letters, digits and other characters that would lie on their side stand
upright one below the other, each in its upright cell. Spaces keep their
width and tate-chu-yoko blocks stay across the column. Horizontal type
keeps the mark and does not change. A combining mark shaped as its own
glyph turns with its letter, in Latin and CJK upright type alike.
Character Style Options labels the Character Alignment row "Character
Alignment" and gives Standard Vertical Roman Alignment its own checkbox.
Reset Panel turns the attribute off. PDF and SVG export place the glyphs
from the layout and need no change.
menus_and_tooltips_show_the_backtick_key_as_it_types put Edit › Clear on Cmd+~.
craft-keymap reserves Cmd+` on macOS, so the override is refused there and
the menu kept Delete. The test now uses Alt+~, which no platform reserves.
