Seven new diagrams, a colour rule for the old ones, and 18 titles that match the app
New diagrams: the three Regular Polygon tools, Paint Region in three panes,
Point: Center of Circle, Reverse Direction, Show Region Direction.
Colour, on Blossom's call: a diagram carries the colour of what it produces.
Curves green, regions orange, direction marks take the colour of the thing
they mark, clicked points navy, calculated points hollow point-blue. Ten
draw-tool scenes lost their fill and went green; five shape-node cards had
their fill matched to their stroke and gained numbered points with a socket
legend. Select is deliberately untouched: its blue and green are the marquee
colours, not output types.
Naming: 18 page titles disagreed with the app's own command names, Compass
Circle being the oldest of them. All 18 retitled, with their breadcrumbs,
17 Menu paths, 137 link texts and 2 stale node link texts. Slugs left alone
so the app's Help buttons still resolve.
Also: the socket legend work caught two wrong labels, a socket called Point
that is really On Circle, and Major and Minor for Major Axis and Minor Axis.
Revert to Saved loses the switch-documents section, an edge case documented
in more detail than the behaviour deserved.
The File and View menus get pages for their commands
Every File and every View command pointed at a concept page; neither menu had a
page of its own for anything in it. Ten File pages and ten View pages now cover
them, with the rows, the sidebar and the reading chain wired to match.
Lock Guides was missing from the wiki altogether. Command Descriptions is a
palette setting rather than a View item, and now says so. Mirror moves from
Transform to Construct, where the app puts it. Transform gains the ten align
and distribute commands it had never listed. A duplicate row that sat inside
the Combine breadcrumb is gone.
Node cards regenerated for 21 nodes, five of which had silently stopped
rendering months ago. New pages for Regular Polygon: Edge, Regular Polygon:
Center and Reverse Direction, and new effect diagrams for Schematic, Alignment
Snaps and View Seams.
Bottom nav on every page, Apollonius, and the Combine menu completed
Navigation
- Every page's own Previous/Next line is now repeated at the bottom, directly
above the Related heading. Done by tools/add_bottom_nav.py, which finds that
heading BY NAME rather than by position, so the nav never lands in the middle
of a real section.
circles-arcs
- New Apollonius section with its own figure, apollonius-cases.png, built by a
new generator build_apollonius.mjs. Three worked cases: two lines and a
circle, three circles, two points and a line. One solution solid, the rest
light and dotted. Placed immediately before the Arc tool heading.
- circle-methods.png reverted: Apollonius gets a separate diagram, not a
fourth panel on the existing one.
selection
- Select Outer Edges removed. It is a node-side command and does not belong on
the modeling-view page. Added a Related link to the node page instead.
transform-tools
- Rewritten so the page only ever speaks of transforming POINTS. Locus does not
transform objects, it transforms the free root points an object is built
from, and everything standing on them re-solves and follows.
- New callout before the Transform menu heading: if root points are shared with
objects you do not want to move, run Edit > Detach first.
- Reference and handle clicks snap in all the same ways a point does.
align-distribute
- The same Detach callout added at the bottom, below the refusal paragraph.
regions-booleans
- Paint Region added to the list of ways to build a region.
menu-combine
- The Combine menu has eight commands and this page listed six. Paint Region
and Split (Bake) added, in menu order.
- Two new pages: combine-paint.md and combine-split.md. Split's page says
plainly that it is a one-shot bake, not a live boolean.
- The Previous/Next chain shifted, so combine-fill, combine-autoregion,
combine-difference and menu-transform changed their nav lines, and _Sidebar
gained both entries.
- Both icons rendered by the normal exporter from Vera's glyphs, tinted region
like the rest of the row.
Keyboard characters only: sweep all 245 English pages
Every character that cannot be typed on a US keyboard is replaced. Em dash
becomes a colon where it introduces a list bullet's description, matching how
the Italian pages already read, and a spaced hyphen everywhere else. The
Previous/Next angle quotes and the breadcrumb arrows become < and >, the menu
path triangle becomes >, arrows spell out as -> and <->, the ellipsis becomes
three periods, and the en dash and minus sign become a hyphen.
Two characters do two jobs and are split by context. The middle dot is a pipe
where it separates links and " x " where it is multiplication, as in Min + k x
Step and Radius x cos(Angle). The degree sign becomes " degrees" after a digit
and is dropped after a letter, where it was a stale reference to the Rotate
node's Angle socket, which no longer carries one.
Also: superscript two becomes 2, the square root sign becomes sqrt, the
division sign becomes /, less-than-or-equal becomes <=, and the decorative
emoji in Home, the footer, the sidebar, community and licensing are removed.
Kept: the command, shift and option key glyphs in the shortcut lines, and the
Greek letters used as math notation.
Verified: no file changed its line count, and no markdown table row changed its
cell count.

Node pages: add Related back-link to the matching modeling tool
The 29 node pages that have a modeling twin each gain an "In the modeling view" entry pointing to the tool that builds the same thing on the canvas — the reverse of the modeling-to-node pass. On the seven that already had a Related section (the field-consumer, transform, and boolean nodes), the back-link is inserted as the lead bullet.
Edit menu (12 per-command pages incl. Snap to Objects); Node Library prev/next descends into all 79 node pages; enrich menu-select
Add Parallel, Perpendicular, Perpendicular Bisector, Tangent effect diagrams
Breadcrumb + section header on all pages; wallpaper-groups → intro + four lattice pages; remove Fundamental domains
Add breadcrumb nav to all content pages; split wallpaper-groups into intro + 4 lattice pages; remove Fundamental domains

Docs: add input-type sections to type-polymorphic nodes
Icons: switch node-doc icons from SVG to transparent PNG (reliable GitHub rendering)
Docs: node page titles match category pattern — inline 60px icon, baseline, spaced
