What and why

A COLR radial gradient whose color line runs past 0 or 1 can get a circle with a negative radius once its stops are normalized to 0..1. Circles of a negative radius are not drawn: only the side of the circle of radius 0 (the tip of the cone) where the radius is positive is painted. For pad, the stops on the other side can be replaced by one stop at the tip with the color there; for a color line that repeats, any slice of it one period long draws the same (OpenType COLR spec, Radial gradients and the note on implementing them).

Before this change:

  • As vector art, a padded gradient with a stop before 0 and its centers apart was focused on the start circle's center instead of the tip. With its centers together, its stops got offsets below 0.
  • Drawn into an image (a glyph with a sweep gradient, a Porter-Duff composite or a repeating gradient), any such gradient filled the glyph with its first stop's color.

Now both paths recast the circles so neither radius is negative. With pad, the stops on the side that is not drawn become one stop at the tip; stops at the tip stay, so a sharp change of color there keeps the color on the drawn side. With repeat and reflect, the circles move by whole periods of the color line to the drawn side. When no circle is drawn, nothing is painted.

This touches the same lines in crates/text/src/colr.rs as #7403. Whichever merges second keeps both and passes the gradient's extend mode to the new non_negative_radii.

How it was tested

New tests in crates/text/src/tests/colr.rs, built from synthetic COLRv1 fonts:

  • a_radial_gradient_with_a_stop_before_0_starts_at_its_circle_of_radius_0: centers apart (focal point at the tip) and centers together, with a half-opaque first stop so the tip stop's opacity is checked. Both cases fail on main.
  • a_sharp_change_of_color_at_the_circle_of_radius_0_keeps_the_color_beyond_it: fails when stops at the tip are dropped.
  • an_image_of_a_radial_gradient_with_a_stop_past_its_circle_of_radius_0_draws_from_that_circle: glyphs drawn into an image, with a negative start radius, a negative end radius, repeat and reflect. Each case fails without the change: the image is one solid color.

Focused checks on Linux, on the head 660acb12ff. The branch is one commit on main at 1e4e3534f5, the current main.

  • cargo test -p vectorcraft-text: 751 passed (750 unit tests and 1 integration test), 0 failed, 1 ignored.
  • cargo test -p vectorcraft-svg colour: 13 passed.
  • cargo clippy -p vectorcraft-text --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo fmt --all -- --check: clean for these files. main at 1e4e3534f5 already fails it in crates/svg/src/lib.rs, which fmt: format crates/svg/src/lib.rs #7400 and Fix main CI after the craft-libs migration (fmt, wasm) #7407 fix.
  • cargo xtask brands, cargo xtask layers (30 crates) and cargo xtask assets (337 files)

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
    • Improved rendering of COLR radial gradients when color stops or circle radii cross zero, including padded, repeating, and reflecting gradients.
    • Preserved sharp color transitions at zero-radius stops and corrected gradient colors, opacity, and focal-point rendering.
    • Improved consistency between vector and image-rendered gradients, including cases where repeating or reflecting gradients have missing color stops.

…rcle of radius 0

A radial gradient whose color line runs past 0 or 1 can get a circle
with a negative radius once its stops are normalized to 0..1. Circles of
a negative radius are not drawn: only the side of the circle of radius 0
(the tip of the cone) where the radius is positive is painted
(https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/typography/opentype/spec/colr, Radial
gradients). Before:

- As vector art, a padded gradient with a stop before 0 and its centers
  apart was focused on the start circle's center instead of the tip, and
  one with its centers together got stop offsets below 0.
- Drawn into an image (a glyph with a sweep gradient, a Porter-Duff
  composite or a repeating gradient), any such gradient filled the glyph
  with its first stop's color.

Both now recast the circles so neither radius is negative. With pad, the
stops on the side that is not drawn become one stop at the tip with the
color there; stops at the tip stay, so a sharp change of color there
keeps the color on the drawn side. With repeat and reflect, the circles
move by whole periods of the color line to the drawn side. When no
circle is drawn, nothing is painted.

Walkthrough

The change adds shared normalization for radial gradients whose circles have negative radii. The editable-art and raster paths use the adjusted circles and stops. Tests cover pad, repeat, and reflect extensions, including color transitions at radius zero.

Changes: COLR radial-gradient normalization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Normalize intervals for editable gradients
crates/text/src/colr.rs, crates/text/src/tests/colr.rs
non_negative_radii selects a drawable interval around the zero-radius tip and rebuilds its stops. The editable-art path uses the helper before its existing support checks. Tests check padded stops, gradient geometry, focal points, and duplicate stops at zero.
Apply normalization in raster painting
crates/text/src/colr.rs, crates/text/src/tests/colr.rs
The raster painter uses the helper before creating a radial gradient and skips painting when no interval is available. Rendering tests cover negative-radius circles and repeat and reflect extensions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: lehni

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 443ca

Colour glyphs whose radial gradient has equal negative radii may draw a monochrome outline instead of nothing. In a nested-paint case, a later glyph may also draw outside its enclosing clip. These cases are rare and visual only. They should be fixed before or soon after merge, and the main negative-radius gradient behaviour looks sound.

Explanation

The title names the change: COLR radial gradients with a negative radius now draw from their circle of radius 0. The raw summary confirms the change to non_negative_radii in crates/text/src/colr.rs, which recasts circles so neither radius is negative. The title is a single sentence, but the leading 'Type:' prefix is noise and the title is 85 characters, somewhat long. It is still specific and related to the main change.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description follows the template's sections: 'What and why', 'How it was tested', and 'Checklist'. It explains the problem, the fix for pad, repeat, and reflect, and lists new tests and focused check results. Checklist items for panic-free code, clean-room, and ASSETS.md are ticked. The 'cargo xtask ci' checklist item is left unchecked, and the description says it runs only in CI, which the author should clarify. No other section is missing.

Set flooded only after a fill adds its node.

An outer PaintGlyph can contain a layer list with an empty radial paint followed by another PaintGlyph. Skrifa calls fill for the first paint and can call fill_glyph for the second. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

With equal negative radii, the first paint now adds no child, but this assignment leaves flooded = true. The second paint becomes the only child. close then removes the outer clip through its single-child shortcut, so the second glyph can paint outside that clip. Record flooded only when the corresponding fill successfully adds its node. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

non-drawable circles produces a valid empty color result rather than propagating
early with `?`. Preserve existing handling for drawable circles and ensure the
empty result survives `Tree::finish` and the color-content callers.

Comment thread crates/text/src/colr.rs Resolved
A radial gradient whose circles both have the same negative radius (as a
variable font's instance can give) draws no circle. A glyph painted with
only that gradient was read as no colour glyph, so layout drew its
outline instead. It is now colour art that draws nothing.
