History / transform tools

Splines: five new pages, fifteen edits, two diagrams New: splines, draw-pen, edit-convert-to-spline, edit-cut-spline, edit-close-spline. Sidebar and Previous/Next chains wired for all five. Edits: selection gains anchor selection and the nudge multipliers; transform-tools gains the bound-anchor refusal; transform-mirror says a spline reflects as a copy; edit-reverse-direction says a spline turns its anchors around; import and file-import-svg say an import is a path until converted; layers-panel tells Pth from Spl; the Draw and Edit menu listings gain the four commands. Diagrams: the anchor and handle legend, and the four Pen gestures. node-flatten now says why it exists, which is the weld; node-weld-seams says its Across Groups default changed. Also carries the node page work that was sitting uncommitted.

Explode pins a Kind, cluster sockets carry an Order, and a seam is green Theo's v0.3.52 list, twenty-one pages. Explode gains the Kind pulldown and its ten values, an Outputs section split between Auto and pinned, and a section on why you would pin it: a cluster is edited with its inputs empty, so on Auto there are no sockets to wire. Separate XY is deprecated in favor of Explode with Kind set to Point, and documents are converted as they load. The six per-kind banners read Deprecated rather than retired. Cluster Input and Cluster Output carry Order. Cluster Output also gains In, which was missing from the page entirely, and its Outputs now say the node has none on the canvas. clusters.md replaces "drag one up or down to reorder" with the order being a number, not a position, and adds the paragraph on an untouched socket reading its real value rather than zero. Weld Seams gains Across Groups, a boolean on by default, and its alt text no longer calls the seam dashed. Flatten loses the claim that a tiled pattern needs a Flatten in front of Weld Seams, which Across Groups made untrue; the page now says what Flatten is for in general and does not mention Weld Seams at all. Sort gains key 5 Name and a paragraph for each of the six keys, written against sortKey and compareNames rather than from prose. Data Box describes nesting and names, which of the two kinds of name survives a flatten, and what the summary counts. Wallpaper Groups gains the fourth numbered step, which hands the cluster its cell vectors and had never been one, plus the cell-vector figure, the straight edge on a finite block, and cm and cmm counting in twos. Organizing gains a Buses section between Relays and Tidy Layout, covering both commands and why they are a pair, and Tidy Layout gains a paragraph on routing the lanes deliberately. Credits gains an "Ideas, not code" section with two debts that are not libraries. C.a.R., or Zirkel und Lineal, by René Grothmann at the Catholic University of Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, maintained since 1996: the live-construction model this program starts from, credited for the conventions and the direction. Orbi, by the Grasshopper Collective at Nuremberg Tech, for the named bus that a run of Relays carries. Upright becomes Deskew on three pages, matching the app's own label. Four diagrams rebuilt. The weld seam is solid seam green, not dashed accent blue, and the two cluster cards show the sockets the nodes actually have. Also removes .fuse_hidden0000002c00000001, a bridge artifact committed by mistake in 89f4ea9 on 2026-08-25.

Name the colour a reader sees, and fix the 17 diagrams that drew the wrong one Every alt text that said "accent" now says what is actually on screen: curve green, region orange, point blue or number purple for a produced type, plain blue where the colour only marks which item is new, selection red where the subject is what is selected, and group blue for a group box. Fifty in all, and no alt text in the English wiki contains the word "accent" any more. Reviewing the pictures against the words found seventeen drawing the wrong colour. The pale-blue-interior-under-a-recoloured-outline fault, found in the booleans, repeated in Cleanup, Filter by Area, Select by Condition and List Length. The six Explode scenes hand back points and were drawing them in the old highlight blue. The two selection scenes were still blue after the switch to red. Area's measured hexagon is a region. Select Outer Edges now fills its four cells and draws their shared edges as the regions they are. Separate by Type carries all three type colours at once rather than one. Vector Math Cross is the number colour, because Cross hands back a number. Explode Polygon is a pentagon now. A four-sided box read as the Rectangle and Square nodes. List Length numbers its boxes 1 to 5, positions rather than indices, so the run ends on the same 5 the read-out states. The group box says box rather than folder, in English and in all six locales. Two labels that sat on the lines they labelled, the Radius read-out and the Through point, are offset perpendicular to those lines. The two Tidy layout images are regenerated from the documents they were always built from. They were thought to have no generator; the generator takes its output filename as an argument, so searching for the filename found nothing. Page corrections from reviewing the node pages against the app: Math, Move, Crossing Census and Stability Sweep were missing the editable marker their app sockets carry, Move and Preview were missing their defaults, Preview had no Outputs section where the absence of one is the point, and Weave called Flip a boolean where every other page says on/off.

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.

Three new node pages, a tool page, Align & distribute, and the docs the code left behind New pages. Switch, Oblique Grid and Circle: Tangent shipped without wiki pages, which hid their Help menu items. Circle: Tangent also gets the construction-tool page it was the only Construct tool missing. Align & distribute is documented for the first time: ten palette commands, six align and four that space things out. Corrected against source, not against the commit messages. Grid gained Lattice V1, Lattice V2 and Spacing Override; Tri Grid gained Lattice V1 and Spacing Override. Grid reads V2 for its LENGTH only, never its direction, so its cell stays a rectangle; only Oblique Grid shears. Math gained Round, Floor, Ceiling, Min, Max, Square Root, Sine and Cosine, and the trig pair takes degrees. Colour lists. Collect now passes non-geometry values through as a plain list, Item at Index indexes those lists and accepts a LIST of indices, Random accepts a list of seeds, and Style's Fill and Stroke accept a colour list that cycles across the items. Four pages updated. Convert to Nodes said dimensions were left in place. They convert now, each into its matching Dimension node, with the two forms that need a point built for them. Preferences still put the video overlay at the bottom of the window; it moved to the lower-left corner. Diagrams: six node cards re-rendered for the socket and operation changes. Sidebar entries added and the neighbouring pages' Previous/Next lines fixed.

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.
