Marco Arnulfo e11867128e Color panel: the mode picked last comes back after a restart (fixes #1675) 2026-10-14 03:55:41 +07:00
Gert Pellin ed1e976264 Fix #1748: text.create takes justify, so point type can be centred on its point
text.create, text.createInPath and the MCP add_text tool now take a
`justify` (auto|left|center|right|justifyAll, as text.setStyle). Point
type already laid out centred or right-aligned text around its origin;
it just could not be made that way, so scripts measured the bounds and
moved the text. Changing it afterwards stays text.setStyle {justify}.

dotCooCoo 7fde8739a7 Control: replies are buffered, so a 17 MB reply is sent in 0.09 s instead of 34 s on Windows
The control server wrote each reply with writeln!(out, "{r}") on the
bare TcpStream. serde_json formats a Value one piece at a time, and
each piece (a brace, a quotation mark, a key, a colon, a number) was
sent as a write of its own: the 17 MB document.inspect reply of a
document with 50,000 objects on one layer was sent in 7,857,200 writes.
On Windows 11, sending that reply to a client over loopback took 34 s,
and sending the 28 MB document.json reply took 57 s.
vectorcraft-cli mcp reads every reply from a running app over this
connection.

write_line now writes each reply, each refusal and the "too many
control connections" line through a 64 KiB BufWriter, then flushes
it. The 17 MB reply takes 262 writes. Sending it now takes 0.09 s,
and sending the 28 MB reply takes 0.2 s. The bytes are the same.

dotCooCoo 3374d0778d Scripts: Check Script… reports what a .jsx script needs and does, without running it
VectorCraft does not run scripts written for the reference app, and
File › Scripts held only the disabled Other Script…. File › Scripts ›
Check Script… picks a .jsx, .jsxinc or .jsxbin file, reads it without
running any of it, and shows a report: what the script needs (the
script language's own objects, the document model, files, menu
commands, dialogs, or features only the reference app has), what it
would do outside the document, the menu-command strings it passes, the
document-model member chains and type names it uses, its directives,
the files it includes, and the problems that would stop it loading.
Copy Report copies the report as JSON. File › Open and drag-and-drop
show the report for those files too.

- vectorcraft-scriptcheck, a new Standalone crate with no
  dependencies, holds the checker: a lexer for ECMAScript 3 with E4X
  literals and the #name and //@name directive lines, and an analysis
  of the tokens that follows variables, function scopes and the files
  a script includes. It never recurses: open brackets, the levels of
  an XML literal and the function bodies being read are kept on stacks
  capped at 4,096. It reads at most 8 MiB of a file and 32 MiB with the
  included files, follows 64 included files 16 deep, looks up at most
  1,024 paths for them, keeps 1,000 entries in a list, tracks 1,000
  variables holding member chains and 1,000 holding File objects, and
  cuts echoed text to 120 characters. A compiled script is reported as
  compiled and isn't read.
- script.check (engine, a query) takes path, data or dataBase64. With a
  path and includes: true, it reads the files the #include lines name
  from inside the script's folder, through the automation read root,
  and when the script or one of those files assigns a member chain or a
  File object to a variable, the check treats the variable as holding
  it in every file. It doesn't follow absolute names, names, folders or
  links that lead out of the folder, names or folders longer than 4,096
  bytes, or JSINCLUDE, and it reads only regular files.
- ui.checkScript shows the report (dialog scriptCheck). File › Open
  lists Scripts (.jsx, .jsxinc, .jsxbin) and sends a script's path to
  script.check, which reads at most 8 MiB of it.

The language rules come from ECMA-262 3rd edition and ECMA-357 2nd
edition. The directive, platform and document-model root names come
from the public JavaScript Tools Guide and scripting guide pages that
catalog.rs cites by URL, and executeMenuCommand, doScript, loadAction,
unloadAction and selectTool come from the public forum posts cited
there; only names are used. Every script in the tests is written from
scratch with invented names.

bflatastic 62036eac6c Image Trace: Flat Logo takes the tones of an unevenly lit colour for one colour
A scan's paper is a tenth darker in one corner than in another. Flat Logo found
each tone of it as a colour of its own and traced the bands and the specks
between them: on the scanned inputs 470 paths, 21 px from the art on average.

Two palette colours are now one when the pixels between them are no fewer than
a third of those at the lesser of the two: flat colours leave only their shared
edge between them, tones of one colour fill the gap. Whether the image is flat
art at all is still asked of the tones as found.

Flat Logo on its inputs, all sizes and variants: 3.106 -> 0.090 px off on
average, 88.5 -> 0.82 px at most, 69.9 -> 3.9 paths; clean, aliased, blurred
and noisy art as before.

dotCooCoo f0810ca58b Object: Lock and Hide › All Artwork Above go through each top-level layer once
Lock › All Artwork Above and Hide › All Artwork Above went through the
objects above each selected object in its top-level layer, one selected
object at a time. For each object they looked up in a list whether it
was selected or already found, and they computed its bounds again for
each selected object below it until one overlapped it. With 100 tiles
selected under 25,000 rectangles, a release build of vectorcraft-cli
took 6.4 s for Lock, and with all of 5,001 objects selected it took
8.8 s and locked nothing.

The commands now go through each top-level layer that holds a selected
object once, and check each object that is not selected against the
bounds of the selected objects below it. The selected objects and the
objects found are kept in sets, and each object's bounds are computed
once. The objects they lock or hide, the count, the selection and the
undo step are the same as before. On the same documents Lock now takes
under 0.1 s.

dotCooCoo 35d6aa0a16 Render: pattern tiles at different scales are kept between frames
The renderer kept one tile per pattern name and ink plane, and used it
only at the raster scale it was made at: the device scale rounded up to
a power of two and capped. Two objects that paint one pattern at scales
for which the raster scale differs, such as a pattern scaled to 25%
with Transform Pattern Tiles next to the same pattern at 100%, replaced
each other's tile, and every frame rasterized both tiles again.

Tiles are now kept per pattern name and raster scale, within the tile
cache's budget of 128 MiB per thread and ink plane. When the budget
fills, the cache drops the least recently used tiles first. A tile is
still used only while the pattern's art, tile, tile type and overlap
are the ones it was made from. At 760%, with a pattern of 576 stars in
a 288 pt tile on a rectangle that fills the view, and the same pattern
at 25% on a square, release builds of vectorcraft-cli bench at
2880x1800 took a median of 26.0 ms a frame on main and 8.8 ms with this
change, with 8 threads.

bflatastic 7af5790b71 Image Trace: levelling moves no end of a line by more than 1.6 px
Snap Curves To Lines made every straight piece within 2.5 degrees of level or
upright exactly so, whatever its length: a 200 px line 2 degrees off had each end
moved 3.5 px. Now a piece is levelled only when neither end moves more than
1.6 px; a longer line that far off is left as the image has it.

Technical Drawing (the preset with the option on) on its inputs: largest
distance from the art 4.21 -> 1.46 px (1.43 before levelling existed), mean
0.178 -> 0.126 px; on the askew inputs 98% -> 70% of the outline comes out level
or upright.

bflatastic 250da4226e Image Trace: Gradients
Gradients (params `gradients`, a checkbox in the panel for Grayscale and Color;
off unless asked for): an area whose colour changes evenly along one direction
is traced as one path filled with a linear gradient, not as bands of flat colour.

Gradients are found before the palette is made, so no colour is spent on their
bands: a connected run of smoothly changing pixels is a gradient when a plane
fits each colour channel with all three sloping the same way, the colours along
that way are at most six stops with ramps between them, and painting them back
gives the area's own pixels. Flat colour, soft edges between flat colours and
shading that goes two ways are left as they were.

The harness gains two linear-gradient inputs with known lines and stops, and
measures whether each is found, the angle of its line and the colours of its ramp.

bflatastic 9c42a2942a Image Trace: Auto Grouping
Auto Grouping (params `autoGrouping`, a checkbox in the panel; off unless asked
for): each traced path that has others inside its outer contour comes out in a
group with them, the path first, nested as deep as the picture is. The path that
covers the whole image is nobody's group.

The grouped result paints the same picture: where paths can overlap (stacked
layers, Flat Logo, strokes) a path only joins a path below it, and only if that
moves it under nothing that shares any of its box.

The harness measures three presets with the option on ("grouped %"), painting
them in the grouped order.

bflatastic 9ca74ac011 Image Trace: Shapes, and corners whose pixel is mostly outside the shape
Shapes (params `shapes`, a checkbox in the panel; off unless asked for): a filled
outline that is a circle, an ellipse, a rectangle or a regular polygon comes out
as that live shape. A shape is only made when every point of the traced outline
lies within 0.5 px (0.2% of the shape's size, if more) of it; an ellipse whose
radii differ by less than twice that is a circle of its area.

The outline before fitting: a corner's own pixel no longer pulls the two edges
that meet there, and a one-pixel step between two long edges is the corner where
they meet. Sharp corners kept: Default 69% -> 76%, the colour presets 86% -> 91%.

The harness gains plain-shape inputs and "shapes %".

bflatastic 8e7b9ba436 Image Trace: stroked centre lines lie in the middle of their ink and are as wide as it
Create: Strokes (the Outline preset, or the option) traced lines along the pixel skeleton: right to a pixel,
with a width counted in pixels, and fitted by a separate, older fitter.

- Each skeleton point is moved to the middle of the line's ink, read from the image across the line: every
  pixel counts as much ink as its colour is the line's rather than the paper's, the ink's centroid is the
  middle and its sum the width (an anti-aliased or blurred line says both to a fraction of a pixel).
- The stroke width is the median of those widths, no longer a whole number of pixels.
- Each end goes where the ink ends, less the half width a round cap adds.
- Centre lines are fitted as outlines are: a straight line is two anchors, corners stay corners, Snap Curves To
  Lines levels them. The old Douglas-Peucker and simplify fitter, and the crate's pathops dependency, go.

Outline on the thin-line inputs, all sizes and variants (docs/image-trace-quality.md), before -> after:
- painted outline 0.310 -> 0.055 px off on average; 81 -> 14 anchors for five lines
- centre line 0.295 -> 0.052 px from the true centre line; stroke width 0.13 -> 0.02 px off; 18.4 -> 2.7
  anchors a stroke (blurred, noisy and scanned lines: 2.0 each; aliased: 4.6)
- largest distance 1.84 -> 2.94 px: the square ends of a 10 px line under a round cap
Presets without Create: Strokes are unchanged.

bflatastic 612082e26e Image Trace: Snap Curves To Lines levels lines a degree or two askew
The documented option "replaces slightly curved lines with straight lines and snaps lines near 0 or 90 degrees
to absolute 0 or 90 degrees" (helpx, Image Trace panel options); ours did the first half only.

- With Snap Curves To Lines, a straight piece at least 2 px long and within 2.5 degrees of level or upright is
  made exactly so, by moving its ends across it to their mean (the page gives no angle: 2.5 degrees is our
  choice). The pieces next to a moved end follow it.
- A junction other regions share stays where it is, so abutting regions still have one curve along their edge;
  a line between a junction and a free end is levelled to the junction.
- The harness gains askew inputs (a rectangle, a plus sign and two lines, 1 to 2 degrees off level and upright)
  and an "upright %" column: the share of the outline length that is exactly level or upright.

On the clean askew inputs (docs/image-trace-quality.md): Black and White Logo and Technical Drawing, the presets
with the option on, go from 0% to 91% and 95% of their outline exactly level or upright. Their outlines are then
0.49 and 0.59 px from the art as drawn where they were 0.05 (4.2 px at the far end of a 300 px side turned 1.5
degrees): that distance is what the option is for. Presets without the option are unchanged.

bflatastic 761cc2371a Image Trace: Ignore Color, and the Auto Color and Outline presets
Against the documented panel (https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/traces-mockups-symbols/image-trace-panel-options.html):

- Ignore Color: "Ignores a specific color while tracing. Use the color picker to selectively ignore a color."
  The panel's Ignore White is now Ignore Color with a colour button beside it (white until another colour is
  picked); `imageTrace.make` takes `ignoreColor: "#rrggbb"` beside `ignoreWhite`, and leaves out the palette
  colours within about 30 levels of it. Documents saved before have no such setting and ignore white as they
  did. Flat Logo mode leaves out white only.
- Auto Color ("Creates a posterized image from a photo or artwork"): Color mode with the Automatic palette.
- Outline ("Simplifies the image to black outlines"): Black and White with Create: Strokes and no fills.
- The Outline preset's name is translated as a preset's name, not as the Outline view's.

Measured (docs/image-trace-quality.md): Auto Color on flat art is 0.140 px off on average with 4.0 paths (16
Colors: 0.141, 4.2). Outline on the line inputs, the first measure of Create: Strokes: 0.310 px off on average,
1.84 at worst, 81 anchors for 5 lines (Line Art's filled outlines: 0.055, 0.96, 46).

bflatastic c2ed31dc4c Image Trace: thin lines in blurred and scanned art keep smooth edges
Black and White read every pixel as a blend of "black" and "white", and took for those the mean luminance of
the image's black and white pixels. In blurred or scanned line art most black pixels are part paper, so the
mean black was a gray: the middle of every line counted as more than all ink, and by how much changed as the
line crossed the pixel rows, which put a ripple on its edges that the fit then followed with anchors.

- Black is the image's darkest black (the 2nd percentile of its black pixels' luminance).
- White is the lightest pixel within a few pixels of each crack: the paper as it is there. A scan's paper is
  darker in one corner than in another, and read against the image's lightest white it counted as part ink.

On each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants (docs/image-trace-quality.md), before -> after:
- Line Art: 78 -> 46 anchors, outlines 0.093 -> 0.055 px off on average (blurred lines 168 -> 53 anchors,
  scanned 199 -> 70); before sub-pixel edges it was 25 anchors and 0.158 px off
- Technical Drawing: 56 -> 46 anchors, 0.092 -> 0.084 px off
- Sketched Art: 0.197 -> 0.186 px off; Default 0.092 -> 0.090; Black and White Logo 0.063 -> 0.059 with
  27 -> 29 anchors
Not kept: reading lines up to six pixels deep by their ink's centroid and width, and a looser tolerance for
straight runs, neither of which measured better.

- A layer is traced within the box its pixels lie in.
- The stack that fills components holds `u32` indices (a mask has at most 64 million pixels).
- Layers are traced as many at a time as fit in half a gigabyte (about ten bytes a pixel of the largest

bflatastic 20ec49b2e7 Image Trace: abutting regions share one curve along their edge
Each region's outline was fitted on its own, so the edge between two regions was fitted twice, a little
differently, and left hairline gaps and overlaps.

- An outline is cut at its junctions: the pixel corners where three or more regions meet, where two parts of a
  region touch by a corner only, and where an edge reaches the image's border (each side of the image is a
  neighbour of its own, so the image's corners stay exact). A junction lies where the edges around it say, the
  same for every region around it.
- Each piece between two junctions is the whole edge between two regions. Both get exactly the same points for
  it (shifts are rounded to 1/1024 px so that the two sides agree to the last bit; whether a piece is hard is
  decided by the piece alone) and it is fitted the same way from either side (from its end further left), so it
  is one and the same curve in both paths. A loop without junctions is fitted clockwise from its leftmost point:
  a shape's outline and the hole it leaves in the shape around it are one curve too.
- Stacked layers (Overlapping) share no edges and are cut at the image's border only.

On each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants (docs/image-trace-quality.md), before -> after:

Ayberk A. 15cef94ba6 3D and Materials: Inflate takes Twist, Taper and Cap
The public 3D and Materials panel options list Depth, Twist, Taper and Cap
for every 3D type; Inflate had only Depth.

- Twist (0° to 360°) and Taper (1–100 %) turn and scale the back about the
  shape's centre, as Extrude & Bevel's do: a puffed back is turned and
  lowered in proportion, and the sides follow in slices.
- Cap: Solid closes the back; Hollow leaves it off, so the inflated front is
  a shell open behind. The documentation doesn't say what Cap means for
  Inflate; this reading is stated in docs/three-d.md.
- The dialog's Object tab shows them in the documented order (Depth, Twist,
  Taper, Cap), then Volume and Both sides.

At 0 % volume a twisted, tapered Inflate has the extrusion's outline from
every side (tested).

A twisted, tapered, hollow Inflate draws on the canvas exactly as it
exports, and expands to faces with their own ids (tested). ROADMAP and the
parity pages list the new options; the 3D score stays at ~25 %.

Ayberk A. e750891912 3D and Materials: Extrude & Bevel's Twist runs 0° to 360°, as documented
The public 3D and Materials panel options give Twist as up to 360°; it took
-360° to 360°. Values beyond either end now hold at that end (the effect is
a day old, so only fresh files carry a negative twist).

dotCooCoo fb2089aaf5 macOS: the app no longer reads the menus at every step of a move, scale or shape drag
On macOS, native_menu::sync reads every row of the menus (each
command's enabled and checked state, and each label) whenever
state_hash changes, and the macOS backend updates the AppKit items
whose label, enabled or checked state changed. The hash included the
active document's revision, and Session::preview makes a new revision
at each step of a drag, so the app read every row again at each step
of a move, scale or shape drag. In a release build on an M2 Max, that
took about 1.5 ms a step with one object selected, and 13.8 ms a step
with 5,001 objects selected.

While an interaction is open, state_hash leaves the revision out.
Move, scale and shape drags, dialog previews and the font menu's
preview are interactions. The menus are read when an interaction
begins and again on the frame it ends: when a drag's button is
released, when Escape cancels a drag, when a move is dragged onto a
panel, when a dialog's preview is applied or canceled, when the font
menu's preview ends, or when a control request such as
ui.dialog.cancel ends it. They are still read on a click or a key
press during an interaction.

docs/development.md says when the menus are updated during an
interaction.

dotCooCoo 88bd4812e0 Part of #1429: path, Pathfinder and live-object commands add and remove many objects in one pass
Offset Path, Outline Stroke, the Pathfinder panel, Clean Up, Make
Blend, Rasterize and the other commands that #1429's table marks 3,
except Split Into Grid, added, removed or replaced their objects one at
a time, and so did Remove Anchor Points, Redefine Symbol and the
removal of Shaper groups whose source art is gone. Each insertion or
removal moved the later objects of the layer or group. The lookups by
id that followed walked the tree, and every fourth walk rebuilt the
lookup cache. On 25,000 rectangles a release build of vectorcraft-cli
took 29.1 s for Offset Path.

These commands now make their edits with Document::wrap,
Document::insert_beside and Document::remove_many, in one pass over the
children of each layer or group, and Outline Stroke and Expand write
each new object into the place of the object it replaces. A list that
holds an object twice, or an object and another inside it, and that was
edited without an error before, is still edited one object at a time.
The documents, selections and undo steps are the same. On the same
rectangles Offset Path now takes 1.3 s.

dotCooCoo 6f9e2d5c16 Part of #1429: Layers panel and artboard commands on many rows take time linear in the document
These commands removed, moved or copied one row or object at a time:
the Layers panel's Delete Selection, Duplicate Selection, Collect in
New Layer, row drags, Merge Selected, Flatten Artwork and Release to
Layers, and Cut Artboard, Duplicate Artboard and the Artboard tool's
Alt-drags that copy art. Each edit moved the later rows of the same
layer or group to other indices. The next lookup by id then walked the
tree, and after every fourth such walk Document::index_path rebuilt
the whole lookup cache. Release to Layers also walked the document
twice for each new layer to name and color it. With 25,000 rectangles
in one layer, a release build of vectorcraft-cli took 11.9 s for
Duplicate Selection and 17.7 s for Release to Layers.

The commands now remove, move and copy the rows in one pass over each
layer or group, with Document::remove_many and Document::wrap, and
with copy_above, the copy pass of duplicate_in, which Duplicate
Selection and the artboard copies now share. Release to Layers names
its new layers from one walk of the document. Merge Selected checks
the target layer's objects against a set of the listed rows, and
Delete Selection checks the top-level layers against such a set. In a
document whose ids are unique, the rows keep their order, new rows and
layers take the same ids, names and colors, and the selection, the
undo step and the journal are the same. A release build with this
change takes 98 ms for Duplicate Selection and 26 ms for Release to
Layers.

bflatastic cf137c8c90 Docs: Image Trace's colour and photo presets, measured (ROADMAP log, parity evidence) 2026-10-13 04:42:29 +07:00
bflatastic 77f81c8944 Image Trace: photos are smoothed within their tones first, and stacked layers go by lightness
A photo's noise is as large as the step from one palette colour to the next, so noise decided pixel by pixel
which of two neighbouring colours a pixel got: tens of thousands of specks, or (since the palette change)
neighbouring tones merged into one.

- A continuous-tone image (eight colours leave much of it unsaid; flat art, however noisy or unevenly lit, is
  not one) is smoothed before it is quantised: three rounds of a small bilateral filter, which averages noise
  away within a tone and keeps the edges between tones where and as sharp as they were.
- With Method: Overlapping, layers are stacked by lightness, from the largest colour's end of the scale,
  instead of by area. Each layer reaches under those above it, so where two colours meet every layer between
  them in the stack ends on that same edge and shows through its anti-aliasing: by area that was an unrelated
  colour's hairline around every region; by lightness it is a neighbouring tone.
- Ignore White with Overlapping: no layer reaches under the white that is left out.

On each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants (docs/image-trace-quality.md), before -> after:
- High Fidelity Photo: colour error 2.37 -> 1.75 (2.30 at the baseline), edge error 2.59 -> 1.98, 639 -> 121
  paths (3,653 at the baseline), 25,604 -> 9,818 anchors, specks 152 -> 10; a 16 megapixel photo-like image is
  traced in 3.5 s (31,131 paths) where it was refused
- Low Fidelity Photo: colour error 2.67 -> 2.45, 55 -> 37 paths
- Shades of Gray: 73 -> 17 paths, colour error 9.33 -> 9.26
- The other presets' numbers are unchanged

bflatastic 4204ce36db Image Trace: a palette of the picture's own colours
Color and Grayscale chose their colours from every pixel, so the blends along anti-aliased edges took palette
entries and traced as slivers, and with more colours asked for than the art has, k-means split flat colours
along their noise and the halves traced as specks all over each other.

- The palette is made from the picture's own colours: a pixel that lies between the pixels on opposite sides
  of it is a blend and counts for nothing (lines one pixel wide and noise are no blends).
- Colours that noise made of one colour merge: close colours whose pixels are mixed through each other. The
  bands of a gradient keep to themselves and stay apart.
- A blend pixel whose nearest palette colour is a third colour (halfway from navy to yellow lies an olive that
  is nearer to a green elsewhere) goes to the nearer of the two colours it lies between.
- Boxes are cut where their two sides differ most (Otsu's criterion) instead of at the median, which split the
  largest colour of flat art along its noise and left two smaller colours in one box.
- Colours are compared in Oklab when pixels are assigned and in k-means.

On each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants (docs/image-trace-quality.md), before -> after:
- 16 Colors: 69.9 -> 4.2 paths, 1743 -> 66 anchors, outlines 5.08 -> 0.13 px off on average (largest 85.9 ->
  1.09), kinks 1376 -> 4.4, paths in a colour the art doesn't have 5.9 -> 0
- 6 Colors: 21.2 -> 4.0 paths, 4.44 -> 0.14 px off; 3 Colors: colour error 4.86 -> 0.43, 0.33 -> 0.09 px off
- High Fidelity Photo: 3636 -> 639 paths, 81,597 -> 25,604 anchors, colour error 2.50 -> 2.37; a 1 megapixel
  photo-like image 1.98 -> 0.42 s (51,389 -> 4,298 paths), a 4 megapixel one traced (27,583 paths) where it was
  refused
- Low Fidelity Photo: 128 -> 55 paths, colour error 2.59 -> 2.67; Shades of Gray: 91 -> 73 paths, 9.29 -> 9.33
