Recolor Artwork opened with Preserve White and Black on and Grays off
every time, so clearing them had to be repeated on each use. OK on art
now keeps the three checkboxes in the UI state (recolor_preserve, saved
with the other remembered dialog fields), and the dialog opens with
them. Cancel leaves them as the last OK set them.
tool.setOption kept any finite rotate, while the Objects on Path Tool
Options dialog shows Rotate clamped to -360 to 360 and saves the value
it was given, so a rotate of 450 showed as 360 and the next attach used
450. The tool now clamps rotate to -360 to 360, and attach clamps the
saved rotate it falls back to the same way.
Double-clicking the Objects on Path tool opens Objects on Path Tool
Options: a nine-point Pivot grid, a Rotate field, Reset (the center and
0) and Save. Save sets the tool's options, which last across tool
switches and are saved with the preferences. The tool sends them with
each attach, and object.objectsOnPath.attach without pivot or rotate
uses them, so they apply to the objects attached next; groups attached
before keep theirs.
eframe's default device descriptor asks for wgpu's default limits (WebGL2
defaults on OpenGL) with 8192 px textures, whatever the adapter offers. A GPU
short of any one of them, such as a Raspberry Pi 5's V3D 7.1 (15 inter-stage
shader variables on Vulkan, 4096 px textures on OpenGL), failed to create a
device, and the window fell back to the software rasterizer.
The device now asks for eframe's limits lowered to the adapter's wherever the
adapter offers less, and for the adapter's own texture side, which still
raises it above 8192 px when the adapter allows more (#1459).
addon.pathtools.divideDashes cuts the selected paths (or only their
direct-selected segments) into separate open paths of a dash length
measured along the curve, with an optional gap (gap pieces dropped
unless removeGaps is false) and Fit to Corners and Ends; pieces keep
the path's appearance, one undo step, at most 100000 pieces. Geometry
in vectorcraft-pathops; dialog with unit fields and Preview; tests,
sweep cases, catalog rows and docs.
addon.arrange.groupOverlapping groups the selected top-level objects
whose visual bounds overlap or touch, chains included (union-find over a
sweep along x, at most 20000 objects), only within one layer or group.
Each group takes its frontmost member's stacking place; one undo step,
all groups made in one pass over the tree. Menu item, tests, sweep case,
catalog rows and docs.
Create Gradient Mesh and a Mesh tool click estimated each border edge's
handles from the surface's derivatives, so the mesh's border cut across a
curved outline: a 1x1 mesh over a 400 x 300 pt ellipse came out up to
7 pt off it, with corners at its four mesh points. Each border edge now
takes the handles of the cubic that best fits the outline between its
points, and handles where two border edges meet along a side stay
collinear.
Deleting a mesh line (Alt-click with the Mesh tool) joined the two edges
on either side with a straight line, which turned the ellipse's border
into a diamond. The joined edge now keeps the outer handles, grown back
to the length they had before the line split the edge.
While Caps Lock is on, the tools whose pointer General > Use Precise
Cursors changes show the crosshair, and the saved preference does not
change. The desktop app reads the lock state on macOS, Windows and
Linux X11 and passes each change to the new view.capsLock command. A
change to view.capsLock or usePreciseCursors through app.run refreshes
the canvas pointer. The view.preciseCursors command is labeled Use
Precise Cursors, so command search finds it by the preference's name.
Character panel > Language sets the selected characters' language;
text.setFormat and text.setRangeStyle take `language` by name or tag
(unknown: an error), and character styles carry it. Document Setup's
language list gains Hindi, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Punjabi, Tamil,
Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Odia and Urdu, with catalog rows; the
Digits menu's numeral names move to a digits context, as Hindi is now
also a language name.
Characters get a language (CharStyle::language, a BCP 47 tag of one of
Document Setup's languages; none for the default, English: USA, saved
only when set). The shaper sets it on the HarfRust buffer, so fonts use
their language forms (OpenType locl): Turkish keeps fi apart and the dot
on its i. Runs in different languages are shaped apart. New type takes
the document's language.
