What and why

Object › Path › Reverse Path Direction (path.reverse) reversed a path's anchors but left its stroke's width profile, pen pressure, tilt, bearing and rotation running the old way, so a tapered, Width-tool or pressure-drawn stroke changed shape when the path was reversed.

The stroke records now turn with the path, through the stroke reorientation blends already use (crates/doc/src/blend.rs, reorient_stroke): the width profile runs the other way with its left and right sides swapped, and the pen records run the other way, so the stroke draws as it did. A closed subpath, which starts at its last anchor after the reversal, has its records moved to the new start. When only some of a path's subpaths turn, the stroke is left as it was, since one profile is read along every subpath; blends follow the same rule. Arrowheads stay at the path's start and end, as before.

path.reverse's params text and docs/mcp.md describe the change.

How it was tested

  • New test tests::attributes::reverse_path_direction_turns_the_width_profile_and_pen_records_with_the_path: an open path and a rectangle with a width profile, pressure, tilt, bearing and rotation are reversed, and at every anchor the widths (sides swapped) and pen values match what they were before. It fails without the fix (at the open path's first anchor the widths read (0.5, 0.9) where (0.6, 0.2) is expected). On the rectangle the width profile is resampled where the new start splits a span, so widths there are checked within 0.02.
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check (only crates/svg/src/lib.rs, from main, is reported), cargo clippy -p vectorcraft-doc -p vectorcraft-engine --all-targets -- -D warnings, and cargo test -p vectorcraft-doc -p vectorcraft-engine (engine library: 6,520 passed, 2 ignored; every other test binary of both crates passed).

Checklist

  • cargo xtask ci passes (fmt, clippy, tests, assets, brands, layers, wasm).
  • 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. Errors are returned as Result and shown to the user
    (why and how).
  • Clean-room: nothing copied from Adobe products or GPL/AGPL code (AGENTS.md).
  • Every new asset has a row in ASSETS.md.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Reversing all subpaths in the same direction now also reverses their stroke width profiles and recorded pen dynamics, helping strokes retain their appearance. This applies to both open and closed paths. Reversing an individual subpath remains unchanged.
  • Documentation

    • Updated the path-reversal guidance to explain how stroke appearance and recorded pen dynamics behave when subpaths reverse together.

…n records with the path

Reverse Path Direction reversed the anchors but left the stroke's width
profile, pressure, tilt, bearing and rotation running the old way, so a
tapered or pressure-drawn stroke changed shape. They now turn with the
path through the blend code's stroke reorientation (the width profile's
sides swap), and the stroke draws as before. A path whose subpaths do
not all turn alike keeps its stroke as it was, as blends do. Arrowheads
stay at the path's start and end.

Walkthrough

The path.reverse command now reverses stroke records before reversing selected subpath geometry when all subpaths turn alike. Open-path arrowhead and scale swapping is handled by reorient_strokes. A regression test covers width profiles and recorded pen attributes.

Changes: Path reversal and stroke records

Layer / File(s) Summary
Stroke record reorientation
crates/doc/src/blend.rs
Arrowhead and scale swapping moves to reorient_strokes. The new reverse_stroke_records function updates records when all subpaths share a non-identity turn.
Command integration and validation
crates/engine/src/cmd/path.rs, crates/engine/src/tests/attributes.rs, docs/mcp.md
path.reverse applies stroke-record reversal before geometry reversal. Documentation describes this behavior, and a regression test checks profiles on open and closed paths.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 6bcc4

Reverse Path Direction now turns stroke width profiles and pen records for ordinary paths. Compound paths still keep their own stroke records in the original order, so a variable-width stroke on a compound path can still look different after reversal. This does not worsen existing behavior, but it leaves the feature incomplete for that case.

Explanation

The title names the main change: Reverse Path Direction now turns the stroke's width profile and pen records along with the path. The changeset matches this. The title is specific and single-sentence, and it names the affected command area (Paths).

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template. It has 'What and why' with a clear explanation and a linked-style reference to the blend code. It has 'How it was tested' with the new test, the failure mode without the fix, and the commands run. The checklist is present. The cargo xtask ci item is unchecked, and the author explains the fmt issue in the testing section. The other two checklist items are checked. The 'Every new asset' item is checked although no asset is described, which is a minor issue. Overall the description is mostly complete.

Reverse the compound path's own stroke records.

paths_in returns only child Path nodes. reverse_stroke_records returns early for any node that is not a Path. A compound path's own stroke width profile and pen records are therefore never reversed. Its geometry reverses through its children, so the stroke draws in the old direction.

Apply the stroke reorientation to the compound node. Combine the per-child reversal masks in member order, because the compound's subpaths are those children's subpaths in sequence. Apply the stroke turn only when all combined subpaths turn alike, as the helper already requires for paths.

This change needs its own helper or an extension of reverse_stroke_records. A one-line call on the compound node is not enough.
