ui.dialog.set stored any field name it was given, so a misspelled field
(`discrad` for `discard`) was kept without effect and the dialog then
ran with its old value. It now answers such a field with an error that
lists the dialog's fields, and leaves the dialog unchanged.
A dialog accepts the fields it holds, `__` fields, `discard` with a
discard button, `preview` with a live preview, the fields it reads
before a control adds them (each spec's `inputs`, for example Copy and
the object options of the Transform dialogs, Move's `distance` and
`angle`, the reference point, `path` of the export options dialogs,
`searchFolder`, Brush Options' `tips`, the Justification and
Hyphenation values that open blank, the Corners `kind` and `radius` of
corners that differ, the Gradient Stop popover's `color`, `opacity`,
`location` and `spread`, and a new artboard's `color` and display
marks), and the fields it passes to the command it runs: every
parameter of the generic `command` dialog's command, and the
`textureImage` that Load Texture… sets in the Glass and Texturizer
effects. Edit Selection now opens holding `deleted<i>` for each of its
rows, so setting a row number it does not have returns an error, and
Transparency Flattener Presets opens holding the selected preset's name
and options instead of adding them on its first frame.
The Pathfinder panel menu's Trap… (object.pathfinder.trap) and Effect › Pathfinder › Trap… (pathfinder.trap, live on groups) share one geometry (vectorcraft_pathops::trap_band, vectorcraft_effects::trap): Thickness, Height/Width, Tint Reduction, Traps with Process Color and Reverse Traps, plus the effect's Precision and Remove Redundant Points. The panel's Trap is one undo step and groups the traps above the topmost selected object.

Graph Data's Transpose row/column and Switch x/y, as
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/add-graph-data.html
describes, a `|` in a label as a line break, as
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/add-graph-labels-and-data-sets.html
describes, and the pie graph options of
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/format-pie-graphs.html
- graph.setData {transpose: true} swaps rows and columns (after any new
data in the same call); a graph with more categories than a graph can
have series (256) is refused rather than cut. {switchXY: true} swaps
each scatter series' y and x columns, labels included.
- A `|` in a category or series label starts a new line: legend rows
grow with their lines, labels beside an axis or in a wedge centre
theirs. A label of only `|` is blank.
- Pie graphs: pieLegend none|standard|wedges (Legends in Wedges puts the
series labels inside their wedges, in white on dark wedges, drawn over
the pies), piePosition ratio|even|stacked and pieSort all|first|none,
as dropdowns in the Graph Type dialog, which lists them for pie graphs
only.
Own choices, as the page doesn't say: Position and Sort keep today's
drawing by default (Even, None); Ratio sizes pies by area, the biggest
keeping the full size; Stacked pies share a centre, each drawn as the
ring outside the next smaller one so none covers another, with their
names over them.
New fields are written only when set. Graphs with default options draw
the same art as before.
Each axis now takes its own tick marks, and the value axes a prefix and
suffix for their numbers:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/change-graph-value-axes.html
- Value axes (the left one, or a bar graph's bottom one, and the right
one): tick marks of no, short or full length, and a count per
division; labels stay at the divisions.
- Category axis: the same, at the labels or, with Draw Tick Marks
Between Labels, between them (halfway between labels when they sit
at the plot's edges).
- Add Labels: prefix and suffix per value axis ($, %).
- The Graph Type dialog offers the lengths and value axis sides as
choices, and counts it sends back as floats are read.
Own choices, as the page doesn't say: the lengths are none, short (the
4 pt ticks as before) and full (across the plot); category axes start
with no tick marks, as they had none before. Counts are capped at 20
per division and 10,000 category tick marks, affixes at one line of 64
characters. A full-length tick on the zero line or an axis line is left
out.
The legend moves past a bar graph's last value label when a suffix
runs it into the legend's gap. New fields are written only when set;
graphs with the default options draw the same art as before.
The generic Graph Type dialog showed `valueAxis` as a text field. It now
lists On Left Side, On Right Side and On Both Sides, translated in the
complete catalogs, with a test that the choices match the command's
params and that OK moves the axis. ROADMAP Last updated.

Search: a search field at the top of the Libraries panel filters the
current library's colours, character and paragraph styles and graphics
by name, ignoring case; groups without a match are hidden, groups with
one open, and a search nothing matches says so ("No results").
Groups: items can be put in user-named groups, kept in the library file
(`groups: [{name, items: [{kind, item}]}]`, left out when there are
none, so files written before groups load as they are). New commands:
library.createGroup {library?, name?, items?}, library.renameGroup
{library?, group, name}, library.deleteGroup {library?, group} (its
items stay, ungrouped) and library.moveItem {library?, kind, item,
group?}. An item is in one group at most; deleting an item takes it out
of its group. The panel shows each group as a collapsible section with
its item count after the ungrouped items (rename and delete on its
context menu), each item's context menu has Move to Group (No Group,
the groups, New Group...), and a New Group button sits in the footer.
library.get lists the groups, library.list counts them. The generic
command dialog takes fixed params in `__params` for this.
Export / import: library.export {library?, path?} writes a library
(colours, styles, graphics with art and thumbnails, groups) as a
.vclibrary file, the JSON the library folder keeps (without a path:
{data}); library.import {path | data | dataBase64, name?} adds one as a
new library, made current, numbered on a name clash ("Brand (2)").
The panel menu has Import Library... and Export Library..., through the
app's file dialogs (the web downloads, and picks through File > Open,
which now lists Libraries files). Imported and folder files are made
safe: at most 10,000 items of a kind and 1,000 groups, names clipped and
made unique, sizes finite, thumbnails kept only when their PNG header
says at most 1024 px a side, group entries naming missing items or
unknown kinds dropped; a file over 512 MB or that isn't a library is an
error. Paths go through the engine's file helpers (automation roots).
The importer is fuzzed (import_fuzz: garbage and mutated libraries).
Also fixed: the third graphic added to a library got the second's id
(`graphic-2` twice).

Effect › Blur › Radial Blur (spin/zoom, draft/good/best) and Smart Blur
(Normal mode), Effect › Sharpen › Unsharp Mask: Photoshop-style filters in
vectorcraft_effects::pixel, run by the renderer on the object's pixels in
stack order with Gaussian Blur and Feather, cached while panning; lengths in
points, bounded work per pixel. PDF, Expand Appearance and SVG export write
the effected objects as images. Dialogs with preview (method/quality
dropdowns, fields in documented order), menu entries, translations, tests.

- artboard.rearrange takes layout (gridByRow, gridByColumn, row, column;
byColumn stays as an alias of gridByColumn) and order (leftToRight,
rightToLeft); Columns is the row count of a grid by column and is
ignored by row and column. It returns {artboards, rows, columns}.
- A Rearrange All Artboards dialog: Layout and Layout Order toggles drawn
in code (widgets::layout_button, previewing the order), Columns/Rows,
Spacing, Move Artwork with Artboard and the artboard count.
- One click: Rearrange All in the Properties panel (Document section with
several artboards, Edit Artboards' Quick Actions); the Artboards panel's
Rearrange button and menu item now open the dialog too.
- Tests for every layout x order (artboards, art riding along, one undo
step), the dialog, the Properties button; the command sweep covers the
new params. Translations for ja, es, it, ru, fr, zh-hans, zh-hant and
pt-br; ROADMAP updated.

Area Type Options gain a fit: none, autoHeight (Illustrator's Auto Size:
the frame's height follows the text after every edit, resolved in
refresh_bounds inside the edit so it shares the edit's undo step) and
shrinkText {minPercent} (beyond Illustrator: overflowing text scales its
sizes, leading and baseline shifts down at layout time by the largest
factor, in 0.1 pt steps of the first run, that fits). The Auto Size New
Area Type preference now applies. text.areaOptions and document.inspect
report overflow and the shrink factor; the Area Type Options dialog
offers fit and first baseline as dropdowns.
Area Type Options > Align: Top / Center / Bottom / Justify (AreaOptions.verticalAlign,
LayoutOptions.vertical_align). Each row/column cell is aligned on its own; rectangular
cells shift their lines, other frames and text wrap reflow until settled without
losing text. Justify shares the leftover space equally between line gaps. Area Type Options
shows Align and First Baseline as dropdowns (the parameter dialog's choices table).
Type on a path could only be repositioned by Type on a Path Options, whose menu item sent
`{start: 0}`, so OK threw the text to the start of its path; nothing showed or dragged its
brackets. Now, as in Illustrator:
- Type on a path flows between a start and an end bracket (`TextKind::OnPath { end }`, None:
the end of the path or once round a closed one; `TextKind::path_span`). Flipping
(`TextObject::flip_on_path`) reverses the path keeping a closed path's first anchor and swaps
the brackets, so the type keeps its stretch of the path.
- Type on a Path Options gains Align to Path (ascender, descender, center, baseline) and
Spacing (glyphs spaced as if set that far above the path: closed up round the outside of
curves, opened up round the inside), laid out by the text engine.
- `type.pathOptions {start?, end?, flip?, effect?, alignToPath?, spacing?, ids?}` sets them in
one undo step; with none of them it queries. The menu item opens the dialog with the selected
type's Effect, Flip, Align to Path and Spacing (dropdowns for the choices) and leaves the
brackets alone, so OK as opened changes nothing.
- The Selection and Direct Selection tools show selected type on a path's path and its start,
centre and end brackets (`tools::pathtype`, with a bracket cursor): dragging the start or end
bracket sets where the type runs, dragging the centre bracket slides it along the path and,
across the path, flips it (Cmd/Ctrl held: it only slides). Each drag is one undo step.
- Arc-length measuring moved to `vectorcraft_geom::ArcPath` (layout, the tools and
`text.createInPath` share it). SVG export outlines path type whose end bracket, alignment or
spacing `<textPath>` can't express.
- docs/mcp.md documents the command and the drags; ROADMAP updated; dialog strings translated.

Dragging a bounding-box handle of area type with the Selection tool now
resizes the type area: the text reflows at its own size (threads too)
instead of being scaled, and History says "Resize Type Area". With other
objects selected they scale as before while the area type resizes its
frame. Direct Selection picks the frame's corners and edges and reshapes
the area ("Reshape Type Area", new command text.reshapeArea), and the
selected frame's anchors and outline show. Area Type Options gains Width
and Height. Point type, rotation, Object > Transform > Scale, the Scale
tool and the Transform panel still transform the type.
Root cause: every handle drag previewed object.transform, which folds the
matrix into the text's xf (TextObject::transform), so area type scaled its
glyphs; and Direct Selection's anchor hit test only looked at paths, so the
frame's corners could not be picked. object.transform now takes
typeAreas, which reshapes the frame in text space (xf^-1 * m * xf), and
the tools use it and text.reshapeArea.

Strings in code stay English and are the lookup keys; `crates/ui-egui/src/i18n`
maps them to display text at render time from one `*.tsv` catalog per language
(`LANGUAGES` registry, `tl!`/`t`/`tr`/`tr_ctx`/`tr_id`/`tn`/`fmt`). Command ids,
menu paths, `ui.menu.list`, the control channel, the CLI, MCP, status messages
and undo labels never see translated text, so agents, scripts and the existing
tests are unaffected (under `cargo test` the UI is always English).
Wired: in-window menus and the macOS native menu (rebuilt on a language change),
dynamic labels (Undo X, Reset X, Last Effect: X as templates), the command
palette (matches English and translated text), dock tabs, panel tooltips, the
toolbar (category names now cut by characters, not bytes), the dialog frame, the
shared widgets, the Preferences dialog, the shortcut editor, the hint and status
bars, the Home screen, and the literals of every panel and dialog.
Preference `interfaceLanguage` (User Interface › Language): `auto` or a code.
`auto` follows `VECTORCRAFT_LOCALE`, `LC_ALL`/`LC_MESSAGES`/`LANG`/`LANGUAGE`,
the macOS preferred languages and, on Windows (which sets no `LANG`), the user
locale from `HKCU\Control Panel\International`. `zh-TW`/`zh-HK`/`zh-MO`/
`zh-Hant-*` resolve to `zh-hant`; Simplified locales stay English until a
`zh-hans` catalog exists.
`zh-hant.tsv` (~2,850 rows) is clean-room, in the vocabulary used in Taiwan;
terms shared with PhotoCraft reuse its wording, vector terms use everyday
vector-drawing vocabulary. Tests: catalog well-formedness (placeholders,
ellipses, command ids, no Simplified characters), locale resolution, and two
coverage tests that fail when a menu string, panel/tool/preference label,
dialog button, hint-bar fragment or `tl!` literal has no row in a language
marked `complete_menus`. `VECTORCRAFT_I18N_DUMP=file cargo test -p
vectorcraft-ui-egui dump_source_strings` lists the strings for translators.
Also: two clippy findings under rustc 1.97 fixed in passing.
Integrated with main (squashed onto it, 42 commits on): the Czech interface
(#213) moves from its Rust table to `i18n/cs.tsv` on the registry (all 556
rows, Czech plural rule, its menu-coverage and glyph tests kept); Find Font's
resolution notes and the canvas context menu's labels are translated and
covered by the catalog tests (`menus::CONTEXT_LABELS`); the glyph test checks
CJK text only when the craft-fonts build input is embedded (#220 moved the
Japanese fonts out of this repository); a language saved by an older version
carries over to `interfaceLanguage`; Windows' locale lookup runs reg.exe by its
full path.

Type and symbol instances attached to a plane keep their art and carry a projection
(Node.perspective.projection, append-only); the canvas and every export draw their outlines
through it (reshape/bake), so they are foreshortened and stay type and symbol instances. Bounds,
hit testing and transforms follow the projection. Object › Perspective › Edit Text
(perspective.editText, or double-clicking with the Perspective Selection tool) shows the type flat
where it is drawn in isolation mode; exiting isolation projects it again. Release with
Perspective keeps their look. Copies, pastes, duplicates and Selection-tool moves keep the
attachment (the art moves as dragged). Flare, spiral and polar grid draw on the active plane, and
so do the click-to-size shape dialogs (perspective.draw `at`: sizes in plane units).

The General unit is the active document's units: Preferences > Units >
General sets them (one undo step) and is the units new documents start
in (and the unit shown with no document open); Document Setup changes
only the document. The Transform panel, Properties, the Control bar, the
Info panel, rulers, the status bar, Align spacing, Tabs, paragraph
indents, Pattern Options, dialog distances (Move, shape sizes, path
dialogs, Artboard Options, effect distances, Transform Each, parameter
dialogs), New Document and the canvas measurement labels (smart-guide
sizes, moves, the Measure tool, the Live Corners radius) all follow it,
live. Units > Type drives font size, leading and baseline shift; Units >
Stroke also reaches the Appearance panel and the Magic Wand weight
tolerance. Typed units ("5 mm", "12 pt") work in any field; all ten
units are choices; length preferences show in their unit and accept a
unit; offset/simplify/grid/type-size params read typed units. Typed text
starting with a multi-byte character no longer panics the parser.

No behaviour change: every command keeps its id, label, menu, shortcut and
params doc.
- Engine: swatch.* -> cmd/swatch.rs, graphicStyle.* -> cmd/style.rs,
appearance.* (incl. copyFrom) -> cmd/appearance.rs, stroke.set/setAdvanced
-> cmd/stroke.rs, paint.editGradient/setGradientGeom -> cmd/gradient.rs.
Shared helpers in cmd/mod.rs: leaf_targets/paint_targets (replacing three
copies) and unique_name (swatch and graphic style naming).
- UI: dialogs.rs -> dialogs/ with one file per dialog and a DialogSpec
registry (one DialogKind row per dialog); shared field widgets in
dialogs/form.rs. Headless frame tests draw and confirm every dialog.
