Closes #1854.

The request

#1854 asks for a Width tool that works like the Stroke Width Tool of other apps (public documentation: Stroke Width Tool, Edit on-page pressure profiles). It asks for:

  • on-canvas width editing with exact control;
  • locks and snapping;
  • an editable profile chart that stays in step with the canvas.

VectorCraft's Width tool already did most of the on-canvas editing: drag to add or change a width point, one-sided widths with Alt, moving and copying points, and Width Point Edit. Saving a profile already exists ("Add to Profiles…"). This PR adds the missing parts. The existing, documented gestures do not change.

What changed

Width tool options (Control bar while the Width tool is active; tool.setOption; saved with the preferences)

Option What it does
Click Adds Width Points Off by default. When it is on, a click on a stroke adds a width point at the stroke's width (the look does not change), and Alt-click on a point removes it.
Lock Line Weight No side gets wider than the stroke's weight.
Lock Point Reordering A point that slides stops at its neighbours.
Snap to Curve Nodes A point that slides snaps to the path's anchors.
Snap to Widths on Same Curve A width drag snaps to the widths of the stroke's other points.
Reset Profile (button) The selected strokes get one width again.

Click Adds Width Points is off by default. The documented behaviour is that a click alone adds nothing, and the Width Point Edit tests check that ("click alone must not add a width point"). With the option on, a double-click still opens Width Point Edit to create a point: when the first click of the double-click added a point, the double-click undoes it first.

Stroke panel: the width profile chart, under Profile

  • The left side's width is above the middle line, the right side's below.
  • Drag a handle up or down to change the width (Alt: one side only), or drag it sideways to move the point along the stroke.
  • Click to add a point. Double-click a handle to remove its point.
  • One drag is one undo step (stroke.widthProfile.set).
  • The points are the same points that the Width tool shows on the canvas, so an edit in one place shows in the other.
  • The chart shows only when a stroked object is selected (the chart edits the selection). With no selection, the panel keeps its usual height.

Not in this PR any more

  • Smooth widths: main now draws every width profile as a smooth curve (Width profiles run smooth between their points #3145), so the separate Smooth setting is gone.
  • Save Profile… and brushes that follow the width profile: these move to a follow-up PR, ported onto main's current brush code.

How to test

  1. Draw a line (Pencil or Pen) with a 10 pt stroke. Select the Width tool (Shift+W).
  2. In the Control bar, turn on Click Adds Width Points. Click on the line: a width point is added, and the line looks the same. Alt-click the point: it is removed.
  3. Turn on Lock Line Weight. Drag a handle far out: the width stops at the stroke's weight.
  4. Add three points. Turn on Lock Point Reordering and drag the middle point: it stops at its neighbours.
  5. Turn on Snap to Curve Nodes and drag a point near an anchor: it snaps to the anchor.
  6. Turn on Snap to Widths on Same Curve and drag a new point's handle near another point's width: it takes that width.
  7. Open the Stroke panel: the chart shows the same points. Drag one, click to add one, and double-click one to remove it. Undo reverses a drag in one step.
  8. Click Reset Profile: the line has one width again.
  9. Turn the options off and double-click the line: Width Point Edit opens as before.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an editable stroke width profile chart to the Stroke panel for selected stroked objects. Click to add a point at the interpolated width, drag to adjust its position and width, and double-click to remove it. When two or fewer points remain, the profile resets.
    • Added Width tool options to add points by clicking strokes, lock point order and line weight, and snap to nodes or nearby width points. These options persist across tool switches and are saved with preferences.
    • Added a Reset Profile control for selected objects with a width profile.
    • With click-to-add enabled, Alt-click a width-point centre to remove it. Double-click immediately after adding a point to undo the addition and open the creation dialog.

Thanks @Gamedirection for this, and for the careful write-up and screenshots. I'm holding it for now, because it needs a decision from the project owner.

VectorCraft follows Illustrator's public documentation for the Width tool and width profiles (Create strokes with variable widths). That page describes dragging width points wider or narrower, moving them along the path, Shift-click to select several, Width Point Edit (double-click, and Shift-double-click for Adjust Adjoining Width Points), and saving, deleting and resetting profiles from the Profile menu. It doesn't describe Click Adds Width Points, Lock Line Weight, Lock Point Reordering, Snap to Curve Nodes, Snap to Widths on Same Curve, a Reset Profile button or an editable profile chart in the Stroke panel: those come from another application's Stroke Width tool. Our rule is that options the reference documentation doesn't describe wait for the owner's go-ahead.

The decision for the owner: whether VectorCraft adds these Stroke Width tool options and the Stroke panel's profile chart, beyond the documented Width tool. From reading the code, with the options off (their default) the documented gestures, including the double-click behaviour of #1630 and #1814, stay as they are. I found no documented part in the PR that is missing today, so there is nothing to split out and land on its own.

ReviewerA — source-read COMMENT (not an approval)

I read the head of the diff: the Width tool gains Stroke Width options, a profile chart, smooth widths and brushes (#1854). In the calligraphic brush code a stroke's width profile scales the left and right edges of the sweep, and a bristle brush's strands the same way, importing WidthProfile from the document crate. Illustrator's Width tool and Width Profile dialog are the oracle. The profile must be saved in the document and read back with older files falling back to uniform width, and a profile with points out of order or outside 0..1 must be clamped. A test comparing the outline of a uniform profile with the old output pins the compatibility. I read the first hunks. I have not run it, and no exact-head CI result exists for this head. Nothing was run.

I ran nothing and have no exact-head CI result for this PR, so this is not an approval. Where a diff was long I read its code hunks rather than every generated or documentation line.

Status: waiting_author.

Rebased onto current main. Main merged smooth width profiles separately (#3145), so I dropped the Smooth Widths setting from this PR. This PR is now the first commit: the Width tool options (Click Adds Width Points, Lock Line Weight, Lock Point Reordering, Snap to Curve Nodes, Snap to Widths on Same Curve, Reset Profile) and the width profile chart in the Stroke panel. Save Profile… and brushes that follow the width profile will come in a follow-up PR, ported onto the current brush code. I updated the description to match. cargo xtask ci passes locally at this head.

Walkthrough

The Width tool adds configurable canvas controls for editing stroke width profiles. The Stroke panel adds an editable profile chart. The tool options are exposed in the control bar and registered for persistence.

Changes: Width Profile Editing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Canvas width editing
crates/tools/src/distort/width.rs
The Width tool adds click-to-add and Alt-click removal, width and position constraints, and node and width snapping. Tests cover these behaviors and option handling.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 1acdb

The Width tool options and the Stroke panel profile chart have open correctness problems. Dragging a point in the chart can distort widths or move the wrong point, and Lock Line Weight can be exceeded by other selected points. These should be fixed before merge. The remaining issues are minor display and documentation problems.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the Width tool and its main additions: Stroke Width options, a profile chart, smooth widths, and brushes. The diff adds the Width tool options, the Stroke panel profile chart, and related docs and tests. However, the description says smooth widths and brushes were removed from this PR, so the title overstates scope. It also gives the PR number #1854, while the objectives cite #1858, a mismatch to note.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has What and why (the request, the change, and the issue link), How it was tested (a numbered manual test plan), and the checklist is not ticked. It covers the main change and states scope changes clearly. It does not include automated test details beyond the headless test, and does not state checklist status. The author reports cargo xtask ci passing through wasm, but the wasm step fails with a lockfile ambiguity, which the checklist does not address.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

Each reviewed change maps to the Width tool options, the Reset Profile control, or the Stroke panel width-profile chart in #1854:

  • width.rs: options, click-add, double-click undo, same-curve snapping, node snapping, and lock logic.
  • settings.rs: persistence row for the Width tool.
  • ui_commands.rs and ui_catalog.rs: tool.setOption documentation for the new options.
  • stroke.rs: chart editing.
  • toolbar.rs: Width control bar and Reset Profile.
  • tests_strokedepth.rs: chart click test.
  • docs/roadmap.md and docs/ui-parity.md: review records for the same change.

Smooth widths and the separate Smooth setting were removed from this PR. Save Profile and brush changes are deferred, so they add no code here. The i18n .tsv files are excluded by ignored_files, and their contents are not assessed. No unrelated module or feature change appears in the reviewed summary.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Directly linked issue #1854 is open. Its coding requirements remain active. The reviewed changes (merge base 1e4e353 to head 1acdb2e) implement part of them:

  • Width tool options clickAdds, lockWeight, lockOrder, snapNodes, snapWidths, with persistence (width.rs, settings.rs, ui_commands.rs, ui_catalog.rs).
  • Reset Profile control (toolbar.rs).
  • Stroke panel width-profile chart with drag, Alt one-side drag, click-to-add, double-click-to-remove, and one undo step per drag (stroke.rs), with a headless click test (tests_strokedepth.rs).

Unmet or deferred requirements:

  1. Acceptance criterion 1 (and Notes): a click on a stroke must add a width point. Click Adds Width Points is off by default, so the default behaviour does not meet this criterion. The PR text states the default is intentional.
  2. Acceptance criterion 7 and section 3 (Save Profile): no Save Profile code appears in the reviewed summary. The PR text defers it.
  3. Section 4 (tablet pressure to width profile): not implemented in the reviewed summary. The PR text does not list it as delivered.
  4. Section 1 (brush strokes): brushes that follow the width profile are deferred by the PR text. No brush support appears in the reviewed summary.
  5. Acceptance criterion 10 (save and reopen keeps the profile; SVG/PDF export draws variable width): no evidence in the reviewed summary.
  6. Section 1 modifier behaviour (modifier drag to lock position or width, modifier-click to type an exact width) and section 2 (Snap to Widths gated on a modifier): the summary shows Snap to Widths applies whenever its option is on, with no modifier gate. The modifier-based lock behaviour is not shown.

These are active coding requirements of #1854. Their absence keeps the linked-issue requirements unmet. No repository inspection was available to confirm absence beyond the reviewed summary.

Resolution

Either implement the unmet requirements in this PR, or have the #1854 owner narrow the issue to the delivered scope before merge. Specifically:

  • Make Click Adds Width Points default to on, or record an agreed exception to acceptance criterion 1.
  • Add Save Profile to the Stroke panel and the profile list, with a test.
  • Implement or explicitly descope pressure-to-profile, brush support, and the save/export checks in criterion 10. Keep a test for each kept item.
  • Gate Snap to Widths on a modifier as section 2 states, or update the issue to describe option-only snapping.
  • Show the modifier-based lock and one-sided handle behaviour from section 1 with tests, or descope it in the issue.

Clear a stale just_added marker when a drag moves the point.

A click adds a width point and sets just_added at line 465. A drag that changes that point's width and then releases does not clear the marker. The release falls through to the catch-all Some(d) arm at line 478, which never resets it. The press on the same point also keeps the marker at line 356. A later double-click on that point matches the stale marker at line 336. It then runs edit.undo, which reverts the width edit, and opens the creation dialog for the existing point.

Clear the marker when a release follows a movement. A double-click after a plain click keeps its current behavior.

Apply the width cap to every selected point.

This cap limits only the dragged point. For grouped edits, WidthTool::preview on Lines 294–301 adds the dragged point's width delta to every selected point without an upper bound.

For example, select points with side factors 0.5 and 0.9. With lockWeight enabled, widen the first point to factor 1.0. The second point becomes factor 1.4, despite the lock.

Limit the shared delta using all selected widths, or cap each resulting side.

Freeze the chart scale during a drag.

to_point multiplies the pointer's normalized distance by top. Each successful preview changes the profile used to calculate top on the next frame.

If the widest factor is 2.0 and the pointer is at 90% of the half-height, successive updates produce 1.8, 1.62, and 1.458, even at the same pointer position. Outside the inner height, successive updates can increase the width instead.

Store the vertical scale when the drag starts. Use that scale until release.

Render the interpolated profile instead of straight control-point spans.

The chart joins stored points with straight lines and fills trapezoids. The stroke uses WidthProfile::at_points, which supports curved interpolation. A lens profile therefore appears angular in this chart while the canvas and existing profile preview show a curved profile.

Sample WidthProfile::at_points for the outline and fill, as paint_profile on Lines 592–615 does. Keep the stored points as editable handles.

Preserve the dragged point's identity after sorting.

held retains the original index across frames. When a drag crosses another point, sorting changes that index's owner.

For points at 0, 0.25, 0.75, and 1, drag the 0.25 point to 0.8. It moves from index 1 to index 2. The next update still edits index 1, so it moves the original 0.75 point instead. One drag can alter several points.

Update the held index after sorting, or retain the original points and dragged-point identity for the full interaction.

Add the Width tool options and profile chart to the M3 milestone row.

The M3 row in docs/roadmap.md (line 154) describes the Width tool only in general terms. It does not record this change. The same row already records the 2026-11-13 Library, Graphic Styles, and Swatches panel work, so the Width tool entry belongs there too. Add a #1854 entry before the row's closing | 4–8 | cell, for example: "Width tool options (Click Adds Width Points, Lock Line Weight, Lock Point Reordering, Snap to Curve Nodes, Snap to Widths on Same Curve, Reset Profile) and the Stroke panel's width profile chart (#1854; scores and estimates unchanged)."

Review comment at @docs/roadmap.md at line 202:
Update the M3 milestone row in the roadmap to include the #1854 Width tool options and Stroke panel width profile chart, placing the entry before the row’s closing “4–8” cell. Preserve the existing scores and estimates.

Failed pre-merge checks:

Either implement the unmet requirements in this PR, or get the #1854 owner to
narrow the issue to the delivered scope before merge. Specifically:
- Make Click Adds Width Points default to on, or record an agreed exception to
acceptance criterion 1.
- Add Save Profile to the Stroke panel and the profile list, with a test.
- Implement or explicitly descope pressure-to-profile, brush support, and the
file save/export checks in criterion 10. Keep a test for each kept item.
- Gate Snap to Widths on a modifier, as section 2 states, or update the issue to
describe option-only snapping.
- Show the modifier-based lock and one-sided handle behaviour from section 1,
with tests, or descope it in the issue.

Issue storytold#1854 asks for a Width tool that works as the Stroke Width Tool
of other apps (public documentation: affinity.help, Tools › Stroke
Width Tool and Edit on-page pressure profiles).

Width tool options (Control bar, tool.setOption, saved with the
preferences):
- Click Adds Width Points (off by default): on, a click on a stroke
  adds a width point at the stroke's width (the look does not change),
  and Alt-click on a width point removes it. It is off by default
  because the documented behaviour is that a click alone adds nothing
  (the Width Point Edit tests check this). A double-click still opens
  Width Point Edit to create a point: when the first click added one,
  the double-click undoes it first.
- Lock Line Weight: no side wider than the stroke's weight.
- Lock Point Reordering: a point that slides stops at its neighbours.
- Snap to Curve Nodes: a point that slides snaps to the path's anchors.
- Snap to Widths on Same Curve: a width drag snaps to the widths of
  the stroke's other points.
- Reset Profile: the selected strokes get one width again
  (stroke.widthProfile.set {points: null}).

Stroke panel: the width profile as a chart to edit, under Profile. The
left side's width is above the middle line, the right side's below.
Drag a handle to change the width (Alt: one side) or sideways to move
the point; click to add a point; double-click a handle to remove its
point. One drag is one undo step. The points are the same points the
Width tool shows on the canvas. The chart shows only when a stroked
object is selected. Saving a profile is the existing
"Add to Profiles…".

Tests: click adds and Alt-click removes (and nothing when the option
is off), Lock Line Weight, Lock Point Reordering, Snap to Curve Nodes,
Snap to Widths, the options round trip, and the chart (a click adds
one point as one undo step). The existing Width Point Edit tests pass
unchanged. New labels are translated in all 15 catalogs.

Rebased again onto current main (1acdb2e). I regenerated crates/mcp/src/ui_catalog.rs for the tool.setOption doc change. Local cargo xtask ci, on its own worktree with a clean target, passes every step up to wasm, which fails with specification vectorcraft-geom is ambiguous. That one comes from main: its Cargo.lock has two vectorcraft-geom packages, and this PR doesn't touch Cargo.toml or Cargo.lock. The same is true on #1842.
