An envelope mapped type from its laid-out box: ascent to descent for
point type, the frame for area type. The distorted glyphs then filled
less of the envelope than other art does, with room above the capitals
and below the baseline.
The envelope now maps type from the bounds of its glyph outlines,
underlines and strikethroughs when the type is on its own, in groups
and layers, or used as a clipping path. Inline graphics count by their
boxes. Rotated type and type in perspective map from their outlines as
they are drawn. Make with Mesh,
Make with Top Object and Reset with Mesh without Maintain Shape use
those bounds. Type that draws nothing keeps its laid-out box, and so
does type inside any other object, such as a blend, a repeat or a
symbol instance. Shrink Text to Fit type is measured as it is laid out
on the page.
vectorcraft-text's envelope_ink measures the type, and
register_envelope_ink registers it with the document crate. The engine
session, Renderer::new, live evaluation in vectorcraft-effects and the
.ai reader register it. The document crate keeps the measured boxes per
thread, by object and by a hash of the content, and measures again when
the type, the fonts, the hyphenation exceptions or the transform's
scale or rotation change.
This is VectorCraft's own rule. Envelopes of type made in VectorCraft
and in saved files map from the glyph outline bounds instead of the
type's laid-out box, so they redraw differently.
Commands that read `id` and otherwise act on the selection, the highlighted
layer row or a new object read it with a lenient helper, so `{"id": "abc"}`,
`true` or `{}` acted on the selection instead. They now read it with
`object_param`, which refuses any value that is not a non-negative integer
with "`id` must be a whole number" under the command's name and changes
nothing; an omitted or null `id` keeps the default.
Commands: object.isolate, layer.locate, layer.releaseToLayers,
graphicStyle.new and redefine, charStyle and paraStyle new, apply and
redefine, image.info, links.info, links.goTo, links.unembed, shaper.release,
shaper.expand (whose errors now carry their own name),
transparency.editOpacityMask, transparency.viewOpacityMask, symbol.edit, the
object.blend.spine commands, path.curvature and the type commands that read
type ranges.
object.envelope.makeWithWarp, resetWithWarp and options read `style`
and `orientation`, and options read `preserveShape`, as text and
ignored any other value, so `{"style": 5}` kept the default style and
`{"orientation": "diagonal"}` kept the current orientation. They now
return "`style` must be a string" or "`preserveShape` must be a
string" for a value other than text or null, and "`orientation` must
be one of horizontal, vertical" for any other orientation, through
the shared `choice` helper. object.envelope.options checks the warp
keys whatever is selected, so a call with no envelope or only mesh
envelopes selected gets the same errors, an unknown style name
included. Omitted and null values keep today's defaults.

When Distort Appearance is on and the size a `.ai` saves for an
envelope's contents (`AIDeformArtWidthKey`, `AIDeformArtHeightKey`)
matches the contents' bounds with strokes, the reader now maps the
contents from that stroked box. It used to map them from the geometric
bounds, half a stroke inside that box, so an envelope of stroked art
could differ from its drawn art and keep the drawn art with a note.
Envelope Options hold the box's margins as `boundsMargin`, shares of the
geometric bounds at the top, bottom, left and right. Native files write
them only when they are not zero, and `object.envelope.info` reports
them then. Leaving Edit Contents measures them again when the strokes
reach differently than when Edit Contents began, and the node holds
what they measured then until it leaves. New envelopes have no
margins, so their results do not change. Contents with no width or no
height, such as one straight line, get no margins.

object.blend.spine.moveAnchor now refuses any supplied `with` (even an
empty list) together with `handle`. Direct Selection builds the blend
spine once when drawing the picked points and once per drag preview,
instead of once per picked point. Part of #5285.
Direct Selection kept only one picked point of a blend's spine. Shift-click
now adds a point of the same spine or takes it away, and dragging any picked
point moves them all. object.blend.spine.moveAnchor takes `with`, the other
points to move by as much, with the key objects on them, in one undo step.
Commands whose `id` or `ids` the shared check in Session::execute does not
read still parsed them with id_param/ids_param, which drop anything that is
not a non-negative integer, and then acted on the selection or the current
layer. `object.blend.make {"ids": 3}` blended the selection,
`object.envelope.makeWithWarp {"ids": [2, "x"]}` warped the selection,
`graph.setData {"id": "2"}` changed the selected graph and
`layer.newSublayer {"parent": "2"}` added a sublayer to the current layer.
- cmd::named_ids and cmd::named_id read `ids`/`id` as targets does: a value
that is not an object id, or an unresolved step reference, is an error.
- The symbol and brush, Live Paint, Shape Builder and Image Trace, blend,
envelope and mesh, perspective, Liquify, Puppet Warp and graph helpers use
them in place of the lenient readers.
- layer.clippingMask.toggle checks `id`, and layer.newSublayer checks
`parent`, with checked_id before falling back to the highlighted row or the
current layer.
object.mesh.create with `at` ignored a failed line placement and still replaced the
path with a bare 1x1 mesh. When the new mesh can't place its lines at the point, the
object is left as it is, and when nothing was converted the command fails with
"point is outside the object" and adds no undo step.
A Mesh tool click within the hit tolerance outside a gradient mesh hit the
mesh, but object.mesh.addLine looked for the point inside the outline only
and failed with "point is outside the mesh". The same click on a path's edge
made a 1x1 mesh without the line.
- GradientMesh::locate_within takes a tolerance: a point outside the mesh
within it of the outline gives the nearest point of the edge.
- object.mesh.addLine and object.mesh.create take an optional `tolerance`
(0 by default), and the Mesh tool sends its hit tolerance.
