What and why

#7319 made a PDF-compatible .ai saved with editing data keep each wrap object's Text Wrap Options. A clipping group whose clipping object is a group, an image, a symbol instance or type, or whose clipping path or compound path sits inside art cut to another clipping object, is written as its members cut to that object (clip_contents in crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer.rs). There the options went only on the object's fill or stroke. An object with no paint (a group, an image, an unpainted path) lost its Offset and Invert Wrap, and a fill cut by the outer clipping object moved the options onto the cut shape, so area type wrapped around a smaller outline after the file was opened.

The help page says area text can wrap "around any object, including type objects, imported images, and objects you draw" (the help page), and that "Fill and stroke are removed automatically when you convert an object to a clipping mask" (the help page), so a clipping object usually has no paint to carry its options.

  • clip_contents now writes the clipping object's options on an unpainted path, or a compound path for several subpaths, of the outline area type wraps around, under the art it clips. The path is not cut by an outer clipping object, and it is locked and hidden as the object is. Its fill and stroke parts no longer carry the options, so they are written once. Without room for the path under the object limit, the options are left out and the output still parses.
  • vectorcraft_doc::text::wrap_outline (crates/doc/src/text/wrap.rs) returns the outline resolve_wrap uses for a wrap object, so the saved path has the same outline area type wraps around before the save.
  • The written form is the one the .ai reader already reads: paint (crates/eps/src/import/ai/read/art.rs:184) makes a path from a path that is neither filled nor stroked, u and *u open a group or compound path (crates/eps/src/import/ai/read/ops.rs:215-222), and text_wrap (crates/eps/src/import/ai/read/document.rs:732-742) reads the dictionary's options and gives them to the object before it (:807-813). Writing the options on such a path is VectorCraft's own rule.
  • A symbol instance used as the clipping object still hides the art it clips, as before; only its options are now kept.
  • docs/target-app-parity.md has one line for it.

A painted clipping path inside art cut to another clipping object now keeps its options on the new path instead of on its fill. #7471 changed the same lines of clip_contents and has merged; the branch has it through the merge of main. git merge-tree shows no conflict with #7466.

How it was tested

New tests in crates/eps/src/ai_editing/tests.rs, each failing without the change:

  • a_clipping_object_not_written_whole_keeps_its_text_wrap: for a group with a hidden member, a hidden group, a locked group, an image, a symbol instance, type, an unpainted path and an unpainted compound path inside an outer cut, a painted path partly cut by the outer clipping object, and an object without options, the file is written and read back. It checks that one object carries the options, the Offset and Invert Wrap read back, the carrier's lock and visibility, and that resolve_wrap gives area type below the object the same shapes before and after.
  • a_clipping_objects_text_wrap_is_left_out_without_room: for every object limit from 0 to the full count, the output parses, stays within the limit, and carries the options only when there is room for the whole path.

Checks on the head f8f19f78ca, which has main at 676f0524cc merged in:

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo clippy -p vectorcraft-doc --all-targets -- -D warnings and cargo clippy -p vectorcraft-eps --all-targets -- -D warnings
  • cargo check --workspace --tests
  • cargo test -p vectorcraft-eps --lib -- text_wrap clipping: 42 passed, 0 failed
  • cargo xtask brands, layers (30 crates) and assets (337 asset files)
  • cargo xtask ci runs in this pull request's CI.

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

    • Text wrap settings on clipping objects are now preserved when exporting and re-importing artwork, including when the clipping object is hidden or locked.
    • Wrap settings are omitted when there is not enough room to include the required clipping outline, preventing incomplete settings from being saved.
  • Documentation

    • Updated compatibility guidance to describe how text wrap settings are handled for clipped artwork.

A clipping group whose clipping object is a group, an image, a symbol
instance or type, or whose clipping path sits inside art cut to another
clipping object, is written as its members cut to that object. The
object's text wrap options went only on its fill or stroke, so an object
with no paint lost them, and a fill cut by the outer clipping object
changed the outline area type wraps around after the file was opened.

The options now go on an unpainted path (a compound path for several
subpaths) of the outline area type wraps around, written under the
clipped art, uncut, locked and hidden as the object is. The .ai reader
reads such a path and gives it the dictionary after it. Without room
under the object limit the options are left out.

Walkthrough

This change adds a public outline helper for text wrapping, changes clipped-art EPS writing to store wrap options on an unpainted carrier path, and extends tests and parity documentation for preserved wrap data, hidden or locked state, and object-limit behavior.

Changes: Clipping-object text wrap preservation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Public wrap outline helper
crates/doc/src/text.rs, crates/doc/src/text/wrap.rs
text now re-exports wrap_outline. wrap_outline returns a node outline as PathData by using existing outline logic and returns an empty path when no outline is produced.
Carrier-based clip wrap serialization
crates/eps/src/ai_editing/writer.rs, crates/eps/src/ai_editing/tests.rs, docs/target-app-parity.md
clip_contents now writes clipping-object wrap options through wrap_carrier before clipped paint output and removes wrap metadata from fill and stroke objects. wrap_carrier emits an unpainted outline carrier only when wrapping is active and an outline is written, while preserving hidden or locked state and transparency. Tests cover round-trip wrap shape preservation, indirect or cut clipping objects, hidden or locked objects, unsupported forms, and omission when object capacity is too small. The parity doc records the same cut-art behavior and object-limit omission.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the primary change: a clipping object written cut keeps its text wrap options in the .ai save path. The changeset matches: clip_contents now writes wrap options on an unpainted outline carrier, and the new tests and wrap_outline support it. The title is specific and concise, and it has a clear prefix. It is 67 characters, which is a little long but still readable.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description is thorough and matches the template's sections. It explains the problem (#7319 follow-up, clip_contents writing Text Wrap Options on fill/stroke, lost Offset and Invert Wrap), the change (unpainted path or compound path under the clipped art, uncut, locked and hidden like the clipping object, fill/stroke no longer carry options), and the new public helper wrap_outline. The How it was tested section names the two new tests, what they check, and the commands run with results. The checklist is present. Two gaps: the first checklist item (cargo xtask ci passes) is left unchecked and the description says only that CI runs it, so the status of the full ci run is unreported; and the checklist items for the 'no panics' and clean-room boxes are checked without the description showing evidence for the no-panic claim beyond the author's assertion. These are minor and do not make the description largely incomplete.
