Pencil: Edit Selected Paths follows a stroke lifted away from the path, carves, loops and closes - #4221
Fixes#3793. Also fixes#5157 (redrawing a closed path the longer way round).
Redrawing selected paths is how shapes get built up with the Pencil: stroke by stroke, carving into them and pulling parts out of them. Until now redraw only worked when the stroke started and ended on the path. Anything else dropped out and drew a separate path. This makes the Pencil follow the hand in all those cases. I tested each of them while drawing, many times over, with a tablet.
What changes
Lift away from the path, and the path comes with you. A stroke that starts on the path and ends farther than Edit selected paths within from it now continues the path instead of drawing a new one.
A closed shape opens where the stroke starts, keeps its whole outline, and ends where the stroke does.
An open path is cut where the stroke starts and drops the part the stroke heads along. When the stroke leaves the path nearly square to it (more than 70° from its direction), it drops the shorter part, so most of the path is never lost. Started from an end, nothing is dropped.
Carving. On a closed shape, the stroke replaces the side of the outline that lies nearer to it, not simply the shorter side. Carving across a shape cuts off the part the stroke crosses; drawing round the outside replaces the part it follows.
Loops. A stroke that leaves the path and comes back to the same point adds a loop there. It used to draw a separate path.
Closing an open shape. A stroke over an open path's two open ends closes it along the stroke.
Smooth joins. The stroke's ends now bend smoothly onto the path over the Edit selected paths within distance, instead of meeting it with a straight piece.
Holes stay holes. Redrawing a shape with a hole keeps the hole's direction, so it still cuts through the fill.
A preview of the stroke as you draw it. While a redraw stroke is drawn, the preview now shows the stroke itself, joined at its start to the path, and leaves the path alone; the path changes when the pen is lifted. Before, each preview showed what a release at that moment would give, so within the distance the stroke's end bent back onto the path and beyond it the path jumped to follow, and the line being drawn wasn't shown. Redraw is still decided when the pen goes down, so it no longer flips to "new path" either.
All distances come from the existing Edit selected paths within setting. The one new rule is the 70° angle in point 1.
These also work with Live curve fitting off: the stroke is then joined with straight segments, the same as when drawing a new path.
Tests
In tests_draw2.rs, one test per case: opening a closed shape, cutting an open path, the side an open path keeps when left across it, the loop, the side a closed redraw takes, carving, lifting beyond the distance, closing over open ends, the smooth join, and a shape with a hole. bend_tests checks the end bending on its own. In gesture.rs, pencil_previews_a_redraw_as_the_stroke_drawn_and_redraws_at_the_release checks the preview while drawing and the redraw at the release.
cargo xtask ci passes (all 12 steps, Linux, Rust 1.99.0) for the first two commits; for the preview commit the tools tests and clippy pass, and a full run is under way.
@nrq6993-a11y's #4186 also works on #3793. I've left a comment there on how the two approaches differ.
Checklist
cargo xtask ci passes (fmt, clippy, tests, assets, brands, layers, wasm): green on the current head, 9f8391f, in the CI gate.
No panics in shipped code: no unwrap(), expect(), panic!, unreachable!, todo! or unimplemented! outside tests, and no unchecked indexing on data from files, parameters or messages.
Clean-room: nothing copied from Adobe products or GPL/AGPL code.
Every new asset has a row in ASSETS.md (this PR adds none).
Redraw strokes can now reshape existing open or closed paths, including paths within compound shapes. Strokes that end on a path replace the nearer section; returning to the same point creates a loop. Strokes lifted away can extend or cut the path.
Redraw previews now reflect the final result, including when switching tools during a stroke.
Documentation
Clarified that strokes without pressure data use full pressure.
… paths
A selected compound path (a shape with a hole, such as one made with
Object › Compound Path › Make) could not be redrawn with the Pencil or
the Paintbrush: at the press, find_redraw looked only for selected
objects that are paths themselves, and a compound path's paths are its
children. The stroke then drew a new path, which Keep selected selected
in place of the compound path, so every later stroke near the shape drew
a new path too: redrawing seemed to stop working.
- find_redraw takes a selected compound path's member paths as well,
the nearest one within Edit selected paths within of the press.
- path.freehand's redraw keeps the compound path selected (or, with Keep
selected off, takes it out of the selection) when the redrawn path is
one of its members, so the next stroke redraws it too.
Test: pencil_redraws_a_selected_compound_path redraws the outer path and
then the hole of a selected compound path; it fails without this change
(the first stroke draws a new path).
cargo xtask ci: every step passes except one test in `test`,
vectorcraft-pdf tests_import_fidelity::text_becomes_point_type, which
fails the same way on unmodified main on this machine; it is unrelated
to this change.

…h, carves, loops and closes (storytold#3793)
A Pencil or Paintbrush stroke that starts on a selected path and is
lifted away from it drew a new path, and a stroke back onto the path
joined it with a straight piece at each end.
- A stroke that starts on the path and is lifted farther than Edit
selected paths within from it takes the path with it: a closed path
opens where the stroke starts and ends where the stroke does; an open
path is cut there and drops the part the stroke heads along (one the
stroke leaves nearly square to it, more than 70 degrees from its
direction, drops its shorter part). From one of its ends it drops
nothing.
- A stroke that ends back on the path (within Edit selected paths
within) replaces the section between. On a closed path that is the
way round that lies nearer the stroke, so carving across a shape cuts
off the part the stroke crosses and drawing round outside it replaces
the part it follows. On an open path, a stroke over its open ends
closes it along the stroke.
- A stroke that returns to where it started adds a loop there.
- The stroke's ends bend smoothly onto the path over Edit selected paths
within, instead of meeting it with a straight piece.
- A shape's holes keep their winding, so they stay holes.
Tests: tests_draw2 covers each case (opening a closed shape, cutting an
open path, the loop, the side a closed redraw takes, carving, closing
over open ends, the smooth join, a shape with a hole); bend_tests checks
the end bending.

…path changes at the release (storytold#3793)
While a stroke that redraws a selected path was drawn, every preview
showed the result of a release at that moment. Within Edit selected
paths within of the path that bent the stroke's end back onto it, and
beyond it the path followed the stroke, so the shape bumped, dented and
jumped as the pen moved, and the line being drawn wasn't shown.
Now the previews show the stroke as it is drawn, joined at its start to
the nearest point of the path, unfilled, and leave the path and the
selection as they are. The release (or a switch of tool mid-stroke)
redraws the path as before.

Walkthrough
Pencil redraw now handles strokes that extend away from paths, return to a starting anchor, or cross open-path endpoints. The gesture tool also targets editable paths inside selected compound nodes and uses redraw-specific previews.
The redraw logic fits stroke ends to path anchors. It handles extending paths, inserting loops, choosing a route around closed paths, and bridging open-path endpoints.
Redraw command and behavior tests crates/engine/src/cmd/draw2.rs, crates/engine/src/tests_draw2.rs
The command can extend a path when the stroke ends away from it and selects the containing compound path after editing. Tests cover redraw behavior on open, closed, and compound paths.
Gesture targeting and previews crates/tools/src/draw2/gesture.rs
The gesture tool searches editable path members of selected compounds and applies redraw-specific preview parameters. Deactivation emits a final redraw preview.
Issue 4219: The changes support redraw of paths within selected compound paths and test edits to both the outer path and a hole.
Suggested reviewers:bflatastic, dotcoocoo
Merge Risk: Low · previous review 9c592
An end-to-end Pencil redraw can unexpectedly close an open path, and hovering over selected compounds can do unnecessary repeated work. These are bounded issues to address or explicitly accept before merging.
Security architecture risk: Low · up to 9c592
The change preserves editable-target filtering for Pencil gestures and uses the existing transactional undo and cancellation mechanisms. No newly introduced security finding was established, but the authority expected of direct automation callers remains an unresolved trust assumption.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
observed — The primary redraw mutation addresses an existing path subpath in the active document. The existing edit pipeline can also propagate changes through Global Edit and refresh attached or dependent art, so the effective document impact is not necessarily limited to the directly targeted member.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Gesture discovery remains selection-scoped and checks each compound member with Document::is_editable, including ancestor visibility and locks and locked-artboard protection. Expanding discovery to compound members does not remove these controls.
inferred — Direct-command editability enforcement is a pre-existing trust assumption, not an established PR-introduced attack path. Base redraw already accepted explicit path IDs without the gesture filter, and base path.curvature could replace geometry by explicit ID. The new stroke cases expand behavior on those objects but do not demonstrate access to previously inaccessible objects or greater caller privilege.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The changes stay within the Pencil redraw feature named by #3793. The extra rules (carving on closed shapes, closing open shapes across their ends, the 70° cut, and the preview change) are not in #3793's expected list. They are behavior in the same redraw code paths (redraw_section, redraw_across_gap, redraw_extend, drawing_params). They are not unrelated changes, and the PR description documents them. The compound-path member redraw (redraw_targets, find_redraw) supports item 6 (holes stay holes), so it is connected to a stated objective. The path.freehand documentation update describes the new redraw behavior. The changed test expectation for the closed-path redraw follows from item 1. Whether the owner accepts the extra rules is a product decision. It is noted in the linked-issue assessment and does not make these changes unrelated.
Full details: Description check
Explanation
The description is detailed and covers the what and why, the behaviour changes, and the tests added. It links issues #3793 and #5157 and gives a clear account of the redraw cases. It also reports CI status on the current head and states that the checklist items were checked. The template asks for a "How it was tested" section, and the description supplies one with test names, a manual tablet test, and CI results. Most template items are present. The checklist claims are asserted with ticks and a CI link, so they are not independently verified here, and the description gives a mixed CI status for earlier commits. Those points are minor and do not make the description incomplete.
(a) [#3793 items 1-3, path-following] Met by code at head. redraw_extend (crates/engine/src/cmd/draw2.rs) handles a stroke that starts on a subpath within within and ends farther away. A closed subpath opens at the start point and keeps its whole outline (anchors from k around to k). An open subpath is cut at the start point. It drops the part the stroke heads along, or the shorter part when the angle exceeds 70° (cos.abs() < 0.34). From an end, nothing is dropped. redraw_loop inserts a loop when start and end share an anchor, replacing the old None return. The redraw_section carving and closing paths (redraw_across_gap) and bend_ends (smooth join) are present.
(b) [#3793 item 4, decide at pen-down] Partly met. find_redraw runs at pen-down and sets self.redraw, which is kept for the stroke. Redraw is no longer flipped mid-stroke.
(c) [#3793 item 4, "so the preview always shows the final result"] Not met. drawing_params removes the redraw request from every preview. It sends a plain freehand stroke joined to the path start, with fill false and keepSelected false. The path is unchanged until release. The issue states that the preview must show the final result. The PR instead shows the raw stroke by design, and the PR description says so. The code and the issue's stated expectation conflict.
All other linked requirements are coding requirements. Tests cited in the PR (tests_draw2.rs per-case tests, bend_tests, gesture.rs preview test) were not executed in this review. Their results are taken from the PR text only.
Resolution
Choose one of two resolutions and record it in the PR or on #3793:
Change drawing_params so each preview shows the redraw result for the stroke so far. Keep self.redraw fixed at pen-down, as find_redraw already does. Update pencil_previews_a_redraw_as_the_stroke_drawn_and_redraws_at_the_release to match.
Ask the #3793 owner to amend item 4 so it accepts a stroke-as-drawn preview that joins at the path start, with the path changing at release. Then record that amendment on #3793 before this PR is judged against it.

Thanks @ncic, this is clearly built from a lot of real drawing, and the tests cover each case. I'm holding it for the project owner, though, together with #4186, which also answers #3793. Both change how Edit Selected Paths treats a stroke that leaves the path, and the rules here (carving the nearer side, the 70° cut, loops, closing over open ends) go beyond what the Pencil help pages describe. The owner should pick one behaviour, against the reference app, before either lands. #4220 is a separate bug fix, and I'm landing it on its own.
find_redraw calls cx.doc.is_editable(*m) for each member that redraw_targets returns. Each call rebuilds the locked-artboard set, which walks the artboards and the pattern-editing layer objects. cursor() calls find_redraw on Pencil hover when no stroke is active and no end extension is under the pointer. For a selected compound path, the cost therefore grows with the member count on every hover. find_end already calls cx.doc.editable() for this check, and that closure measures the locks once.

Use the chord distance when both outer runs are empty.
For an end-to-end stroke, both outer runs have no segments, so outer becomes 0.0. Any such stroke with inner > 0 enters redraw_across_gap, which returns a closed subpath. This can turn an end-to-end redraw into a closed lens.
The word “always” is too broad because an exact geometric match can produce inner == 0. The misclassification still occurs when the measured distance is nonzero.

ReviewerA — source-read COMMENT (not an approval)
I read the head of the diff: Pencil's Edit Selected Paths follows a stroke lifted away from the path, and it carves, loops and closes. The doc comment for the middle-of-path edit says that a stroke from one point of a subpath to another, each within a tolerance of it, replaces the section between them (the shorter way round a closed subpath) with the stroke fitted at tol, returning the subpath's index and its new shape, or None when the stroke does not start and end on the same subpath or meets it once; the new behaviour extends that to a stroke that leaves the path and comes back. This matches Illustrator's Pencil edit behaviour, which redraws a section of a selected path. Choosing the shorter way around a closed path is the standard rule, with a tie needing a deterministic choice. A stroke that crosses itself or crosses the path many times is the hostile case, and the loop and carve cases need a bound on the number of intersections processed. I read the doc comment and the command text. 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.
Thanks @FredApps. The CI gate has since finished and is green on this head (ee1efeb). On a closed path this deliberately replaces the side nearer the stroke rather than the shorter one; that's point 2 in the description. The choice doesn't count intersections: it compares distances, with the stroke thinned to at most 200 points.
Hi @echelon and @bflatastic, hope you're both well, and thanks for all the work on VectorCraft! Just a gentle check-in on this one. It's been on hold together with #4186 since 26 October, waiting for a decision on how strokes that leave the path should behave. No rush, but is there anything I can do to help move it along?
For context, I've drawn with the Pencil every day for two decades, and lately I've been focused on completing and improving it in VectorCraft. Four Pencil PRs merged so far, and I'd love to keep going. This one is green and ready to merge whenever you get to it. Thanks!
Upstream now fits Pencil Fidelity in screen pixels (freehand_params takes the
ToolContext) and a new stroke with Keep selected off clears the selection
(storytold#5752). The redraw preview draws the stroke as a new unselected path, so it
now passes leaveSelection: the path being redrawn stays selected while the
stroke is drawn, as before.

Hi @echelon and @bflatastic, a quick follow-up on this one. Since my last note, Messhias has approved it twice (5 and 8 Nov), the checks are green, and I’ve cleared the merge conflicts again. Those keep coming back because every PR edits the same status line in the docs and I keep fixing them, so it’s best merged while it’s clean.
Is it still on hold for the decision on strokes that leave the path, together with #4186? Is there anything I can add to help it move forward and get merged, like answering a question or testing a case? Thanks!

Fixes #3793. Also fixes #5157 (redrawing a closed path the longer way round).
Redrawing selected paths is how shapes get built up with the Pencil: stroke by stroke, carving into them and pulling parts out of them. Until now redraw only worked when the stroke started and ended on the path. Anything else dropped out and drew a separate path. This makes the Pencil follow the hand in all those cases. I tested each of them while drawing, many times over, with a tablet.
What changes
All distances come from the existing Edit selected paths within setting. The one new rule is the 70° angle in point 1.
These also work with Live curve fitting off: the stroke is then joined with straight segments, the same as when drawing a new path.
Tests
In
tests_draw2.rs, one test per case: opening a closed shape, cutting an open path, the side an open path keeps when left across it, the loop, the side a closed redraw takes, carving, lifting beyond the distance, closing over open ends, the smooth join, and a shape with a hole.bend_testschecks the end bending on its own. Ingesture.rs,pencil_previews_a_redraw_as_the_stroke_drawn_and_redraws_at_the_releasechecks the preview while drawing and the redraw at the release.cargo xtask cipasses (all 12 steps, Linux, Rust 1.99.0) for the first two commits; for the preview commit the tools tests and clippy pass, and a full run is under way.@nrq6993-a11y's #4186 also works on #3793. I've left a comment there on how the two approaches differ.
