Summary

A stacked line stroke can be dashed: LineStroke::dash, lengths in points, dash and gap in turn, as SVG's stroke-dasharray (an odd list is repeated to make it even). Without one a stroke is solid, as before.

  • map: Dash, a Copy pattern of at most 8 steps (so LineStroke stays Copy), built only through Dash::new (steps 0–500 points, not all 0). Written to a project as a plain list, "dash": [4, 2], skipped when solid. A crafted project's pattern is brought into range: steps clamped, cut to 8, and one left without length reads as a solid line.
  • render: stacked_path strokes it with tiny-skia's StrokeDash, in pixels (ppp). It is drawn solid when a round of the pattern is under a pixel, or when it would cut the path into more than 100,000 dashes (MAX_DASHES; each dash is a path of its own), so a hostile or tiny pattern can't stall a frame.
  • engine: "dash": [points, …] | null on each stroke of layer.lineStrokes; a pattern out of range is refused with the others' error style and leaves the layer as it was.
  • ui: a Dash row on each stroke: typed (8 4, spaces, commas or semicolons; empty is solid), or picked from Dashed, Dotted, Dash-dot and Long dash, sized to the stroke's width. The stroke preview draws the dashes. stroke_json sends dash, so editing a stroke keeps its pattern.
  • docs: cartography.md › Line strokes.

Checked against QGIS

swisstopo's SMV25 QGIS project has 157 dashed line symbol layers (paths, boundaries, contours, tunnels), all custom patterns in mm with flat caps, e.g. 2.47;0.40;0.20;0.40 (dash, dot). Carried over as these patterns, RustGIS's export draws them as QGIS 4.2 does.

Testing

  • map: dash_patterns_are_kept_and_hostile_ones_brought_into_range (building, odd patterns, save/load, crafted values).
  • engine: a_stroke_is_dashed_by_command (set, refused patterns change nothing, null back to solid).
  • render: a_dashed_stroke_leaves_gaps (solid covers the row; [10, 10] leaves about half of it in runs; a sub-pixel pattern draws solid).
  • Looked at the Style pane and the map with a dashed stroke (ui_shot).
  • cargo fmt, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets -D warnings, cargo test --workspace, cargo xtask layers pass locally (except two font-dependent rustgis-render text tests that fail on main here too). Not built for wasm locally (no target here); nothing platform-specific is added.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Line strokes support custom dash-and-gap patterns, including alternating sequences with an odd number of values.
    • Choose from five presets or enter pattern lengths in the stroke editor. Presets scale with stroke width; empty input produces a solid line.
    • Set or clear dash patterns through the line-stroke command. Invalid patterns are rejected without changing the stroke.
    • Patterns too small to render clearly, or that would create excessive dashes, display as solid lines.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the cartography guide with pattern behavior, cap-style effects, and command examples.

Walkthrough

Line strokes now support optional dash patterns. The change adds pattern validation, command and editor controls, and raster rendering that preserves dash placement across clipping. The guide documents pattern behavior and command usage.

Changes: Dashed line strokes

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dash pattern contract
crates/map/src/symbology.rs, crates/map/src/lib.rs
Dash validates patterns of up to eight steps in the 0–500 range, with a positive total. Odd-length patterns repeat for rendering. LineStroke gains an optional dash field. Tests cover construction and serialization.
Dash configuration and editing
crates/engine/src/cmd/layer.rs, crates/engine/src/tests.rs, crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs, docs/user-guide/cartography.md
layer.lineStrokes accepts dash arrays and null; invalid arrays return a stroke-specific error. The editor adds five presets and text input, includes patterns in stroke parameters, and previews dash runs. Tests and the guide describe these controls and pattern behavior.
Dashed stroke rasterization
crates/render/src/lib.rs, crates/render/src/stroke_paths.rs, crates/render/src/stroke_paths/tests.rs
Rasterization converts dash steps to pixel-space patterns, preserves dash phase across clipped line pieces, and uses solid rendering for subpixel periods or paths estimated to exceed 100,000 dashes. Tests cover clipping, dash gaps, solid fallback, and path lengths.

The MAX_DASHES guard uses the path's bounds span, which is only a lower bound on its length. A winding path with small bounds but a very long length can still be cut into far more than 100k dashes. The reverse also happens: a long line zoomed far in (mostly off-screen) has a huge span in pixels and silently turns solid, so the dashes vanish at high zoom. If tiny_skia::StrokeDash already limits the dash count, say so in a comment. Otherwise consider clipping the path to the viewport before dashing. (Confidence: medium-low.)

Thanks, the first point is right. Fixed in e02f6f6: the limit now uses the path's length (path_length: lines exactly, a curve by its control polygon, which is never shorter). The bounds' span was only a lower bound. Test: a_winding_path_counts_its_length_against_the_dash_limit, a zigzag of 200,000 px inside a 10 px square. It's now drawn solid with a 1 px period and dashed with a 4 px one.

The second point is deliberate. tiny-skia dashes the whole path, including the part that's off screen, so the limit has to count all of it to bound the work. At the default 1 pt "Dashed" pattern (6 px a period), a line turns solid only once it's about 600,000 px long on screen, roughly 300 screen widths. Clipping the path to the view before dashing, with the dash phase carried through, would lift that. It's a bigger change, so I've left it for a follow-up and noted it in the doc comment on dash.

Code review

The change is solid overall. Dash validates its input, project files are clamped on load, the command rejects bad patterns without touching the session, and the tests cover the hostile cases. I could only read the code, not run it, so none of the tests were run. I found one nit and one design concern.

Bugs

  • Dashes become solid at high zoom, and the dash cap is loose (crates/render/src/lib.rs, Ctx::dash, medium-low confidence). The MAX_DASHES guard uses the path's bounds span, which is only a lower bound on its length.
    • A winding path with small bounds can still be cut into far more than 100k dashes.
    • A long line zoomed far in has a huge span in pixels, so it silently turns solid and the dashes disappear.
    • Clipping the path to the viewport before dashing would avoid both.

Security

  • Nothing found. The command path rejects bad input with an error. Project files are clamped to at most 8 steps of 0 to 500 points. A pattern with no length becomes solid.

Performance

  • Preview cost (crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs, low confidence). The editor preview is capped at 4096 steps per stroke per frame, and with round caps it can draw up to about 8k circles each. That is acceptable, but a tighter cap or a minimum period would be cheaper.

Quality

  • Misplaced doc comment (crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs:3784, high confidence, nit). /// A stroke as layer.lineStrokes takes it. now sits above DASH_PRESETS, and stroke_json has lost its doc line. I left an inline comment.
  • Silent revert on invalid dash text (crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs, low confidence). An invalid string typed in the Dash box is dropped on focus loss with no feedback. A red outline or a tooltip would help.
  • Preset labels and translation (crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs, low confidence). tl!(label) is called with a non-literal, so the literals in DASH_PRESETS may not be picked up for translation extraction. Check that the extraction tooling finds them.

AGENTS.md

  • No unwrap, expect or panic in the new non-test code, and Dash::new uses get_mut and try_from instead of indexing. The test unwraps are fine.
  • Regression tests cover the command, the project load and the renderer.
  • Dash::is_multiple_of needs a recent toolchain. This is probably fine, since the repo already uses recent features.
  • No new dependencies and no new assets.

🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | 💤 Low value

Document the empty pattern that From<Vec<f32>> can return.

Dash says it is "Built only through [Dash::new]" and that its steps "add up to more than nothing." The From<Vec<f32>> impl does not follow that rule. When Dash::new rejects the clamped steps, the impl returns Dash { steps: [0.0; MAX_DASH_STEPS], len: 0 }. That value has no steps, and period() returns 0.0. A public caller of Dash::from(vec![]) gets a zero period, which the type documentation says cannot occur.

In this workspace, no consumer sees the empty value. Dash deserializes through serde(from = "Vec<f32>"). LineStroke::clamped removes an empty pattern and makes the stroke solid. de_strokes, de_class_strokes, set_class_strokes, and the layer command all call clamped. Dash::new callers use the checked constructor and never receive the sentinel.

The fix is documentation. Either the Dash contract must allow the empty sentinel from From, or the sentinel must not be public. Removing the impl would break the deserialization rule that a pattern without length is solid. A safe code change is not established, so this comment proposes only the documentation update.

🟡 Minor · Bound the dash array while it is read, not after it is read. · symbology.rs:174

crates/map/src/symbology.rs:174
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Bound the dash array while it is read, not after it is read.

Dash deserializes through Vec<f32> (#[serde(from = "Vec<f32>")], crates/map/src/symbology.rs:174). Serde builds the full vector first. From<Vec<f32>> then keeps only the first MAX_DASH_STEPS values. A crafted file can therefore force the full allocation. The bound limits the stored pattern, not the memory used to read it.

The path is reachable today:

  • Project load: Project::from_json and Project::load accept text up to MAX_BYTES, which is 512 MB (crates/engine/src/project.rs:42, 670-674, 685-691). serde_json::from_str::<Project> then reads the file with no array-length check.
  • Layer load: add_layer_file accepts files up to 512 MB (crates/engine/src/cmd/layer.rs:1887-1891). add_layer_text calls serde_json::from_str::<rustgis_map::Layer> (1897).
  • The dash field has no deserialize_with attribute (crates/map/src/symbology.rs:253-254).

A file of about 512 MB can hold roughly 250 million short dash entries. The Vec<f32> alone can reach about 1 GiB, and vector growth adds a transient copy. Opening such a file can exhaust memory on a small machine. The fix limits memory, not parse time. Parsing remains linear in file size.

Fix: implement Deserialize for Dash with a visitor. The visitor should read at most MAX_DASH_STEPS values and discard the rest with serde::de::IgnoredAny. Keep the existing clamping in From. The stored result stays the same.

Unverified concern: parse_dash splits on literal spaces, commas, and semicolons, so a tab- or newline-separated pattern is rejected rather than parsed as whitespace-separated lengths.

Validation was inconclusive.

Potential consequence: The editor silently leaves the previous pattern in place instead of applying a 4-on, 2-off pattern.

Condition requiring verification: A user pastes 4\t2 into the Dash field.

🟡 Minor · Dash pattern anchors to the clipped line start, so dashes can drift during pan. · lib.rs:641

crates/render/src/lib.rs:641
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Dash pattern anchors to the clipped line start, so dashes can drift during pan.

stacked_line passes the path from ring_path(..., false) to stacked_path. For a line that extends past the clip box, clip_line starts the drawn polyline at the clip entry point. dash() then uses a zero phase offset. The dash pattern therefore anchors to that entry point, not to the line's true start. The entry point moves along the geometry as the view pans, so dashes can slide relative to the line.

The effect applies only to dashed strokes whose start lies outside the clip box. Lines that fit inside the clip box are not clipped and keep their pattern. The effect is visual only.

No safe localized fix is established. Preserving the phase requires the arc length removed before the entry point. clip_line does not return that length. The author should decide whether to compute it or accept the current behavior.

Analysis
  • crates/render/src/lib.rs:589-595 (stacked_line): ring_path(&mut pb, part, false) builds the path, which is passed to stacked_path at line 595.
  • crates/render/src/lib.rs:922-970 (clip_line): when t0 > 0, the polyline restarts at a, the clip entry point.
  • crates/render/src/lib.rs:601-611 (dash): StrokeDash::new(steps, 0.0) sets a zero phase offset.
  • No dash_offset or phase adjustment exists under crates/render/src.

Production impact: a dashed line that starts outside the clip box can show shifting dashes while the user pans. The effect is visible but does not affect data or correctness.

🟡 Minor · Bound the dash count with path length, not bounds span. · lib.rs:604-607

crates/render/src/lib.rs:604-607
🚀 Performance & Scalability | 🟡 Minor | 💤 Low value

Bound the dash count with path length, not bounds span.

The guard in RenderCtx::dash estimates dash count from the bounding box, not from the path length. span = (b.width() + b.height()) * 2.0 is compared with MAX_DASHES. A line that winds inside a small box has a much longer path than span. Such a line passes the guard and can produce far more dashes than MAX_DASHES (100,000).

For example, a 10 × 10 px box holds a line of about 100,000 reversals that are 1 px long. Its length is about 100,000 px. With a 1 px dash period, that is about 100,000 dashes. The guard sees span / period = 40 and keeps the dash pattern.

Thinning does not stop this. thin_run keeps a vertex when it is at least tol (L1) from the last kept vertex. Reversals of at least 0.3 px survive.

The tiny-skia Path::dash returns None above 1,000,000 dashes. So the extra cost is bounded, but it can reach roughly ten times MAX_DASHES. Consider a solid stroke or a length-based estimate for these lines.

Suggested change: estimate the length by summing the segment lengths of path (for example, through path.segments()) and compare that sum with MAX_DASHES. Keep the period >= 1.0 check.

🟡 Minor · Decide preview dashes with the device-pixel test that Ctx::dash uses. · panes.rs:3942-3944

crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs:3942-3944
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | 💤 Low value

Decide preview dashes with the device-pixel test that Ctx::dash uses.

The preview tests the fit-scaled period, period * k, against one point. Ctx::dash tests the unscaled period, period * pixels_per_point, against one device pixel. Both tests use the same steps threshold, but they use different units and scales. A stroke can therefore preview as solid while the map draws it dashed.

Trigger: k is below 1 for a stroke with a large offset or width. If period * k is below 1, the preview draws the stroke solid. If period * pixels_per_point is at least 1, the map keeps the dash. At pixels_per_point above 1, a small period can trigger the same mismatch even when k is 1.

Effect: the preview hides gaps that the map draws. Gaps at small periods are faint. Gaps at larger periods are clearly visible. The map output is correct. Only the preview is wrong.

Suggested fix: use the same device-pixel test as Ctx::dash, based on the unscaled period.

🟡 Minor · Stroke dash editor rewrites stored dash lengths on focus loss without an edit. · panes.rs:3796

crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs:3796
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Stroke dash editor rewrites stored dash lengths on focus loss without an edit.

dash_text rounds each dash length to two decimals. The text field shows that rounded string. When the field loses focus, the handler parses the displayed text and calls set if the parsed pattern differs from the stored one. A focus change alone therefore replaces a stored pattern such as [1.234, 2.345] with [1.23, 2.35], even though the user did not edit the value.

Use the stored value unless the user changed the text. Track the edit with the existing temp value and act only when it exists:

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Unverified concern: MAX_DASHES limits each path separately, not the total dash work in a frame; many paths below the threshold may still produce an excessive number of rasterized dash paths.

Validation was inconclusive.

Potential consequence: Interactive rendering or export may stall despite every path passing the limit.

Condition requiring verification: A visible layer contains thousands of independently drawn lines, each generating thousands of dashes.

crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs:4098-4099
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | 💤 Low value

Stroke dash presets on widths below 1 pt do not follow the documented width scaling.

The Dash presets multiply each length by w.max(1.0), so a stroke narrower than 1 pt gets the 1 pt scale. For a 0.5 pt stroke, Dotted stores [1.0, 2.0] points instead of the width-relative [0.5, 1.0]. The stored lengths are twice the width-relative values. The user guide says the presets are "sized to the stroke's width," and the floor is not documented. Either document the 1 pt floor, or change the scaling so it still gives a valid pattern at very small widths.

Do not remove the floor alone. At a width of 0, the scaled pattern is all zeros. Dash::new rejects that case, so the preset would silently set a solid line.

Add a round-trip test for dashed class strokes.

The new test checks dash round-trips only for the layer-level line_strokes. No test saves and reopens a dashed class stroke in a Unique Values or Graduated Colors renderer. A regression in the class-stroke path that drops dash would leave the map tests passing.

The current code keeps the dash. Class strokes go through de_class_strokes, which maps each stroke through LineStroke::clamped. That function clears a dash only when it has no steps. This is a coverage gap, not a current defect.

Add a test for the MAX_DASHES dash-count guard.

a_dashed_stroke_leaves_gaps covers the normal dashed case and the sub-pixel pattern case. It does not cover the dash-count limit. Removing span / period <= MAX_DASHES from Ctx::dash would not fail any test in the render crate. A regression in this safeguard would reach users without warning.

The new test draws one short line across a 200-pixel view with a [10.0, 10.0] pattern. That produces roughly 10 to 20 dashes. The guard allows up to 100,000. The "too fine" case uses period 0.4, which fails the period >= 1.0 check first. Neither case reaches the span / period comparison. No other test in crates/ or apps/ refers to MAX_DASHES.

Add a case where span / period exceeds the limit, for example a path wider than 100,000 pixels with a 1-pixel period. The test should check that the stroke is drawn solid, or that the call returns None from Ctx::dash. This makes the guard's behavior explicit.

Code review

The PR adds dashed line strokes: a Dash type, the layer.lineStrokes dash parameter, rendering, a stroke-editor field with presets, docs and tests. The code looks correct, with one small quality issue.

Bugs

  • None found. I checked these:
    • Dash::new and From<Vec<f32>> reject or clamp NaN, negative, over-long and all-zero patterns.
    • The command path rejects bad dash values before it changes anything, and the test covers that.
    • The renderer returns to a solid stroke when the period is under 1 px or the path would be cut into more than 100,000 dashes. path_length over-counts curves, so it errs toward solid.
    • Dashed strokes also go through the cached-path drawing in stroke_paths.rs, because it calls stacked_path.

Security

  • None found. A hostile project file or command parameter is bounded: at most 8 steps, each 0 to 500, and the renderer caps the dash count. This fits the "never crash" rules.

Performance

  • Low confidence, minor: path_length runs for every dashed stroke on every feature. It is O(points), the same order as stroking the path, so this is acceptable.

Quality

  • Doc comment on the wrong test (high confidence): in crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs around line 4918, the new test a_dash_draft_stays_with_its_layer_and_class sits between the doc comment and the #[test] of stroke_classes_list_a_repeated_value_once. The doc comment now describes the wrong function. I posted an inline comment asking to move the new test above it.
  • Nit (low confidence): DASH_PRESETS scales steps by w.max(1.0). A very wide stroke could push a step past 500, and Dash::new then returns None, so the preset would silently turn into Solid. The current presets stay within range at the 50-point maximum width, so this is not a bug today.

AGENTS.md

  • No unwrap, expect, panic or unsafe in the non-test changes.
  • New UI strings are wrapped in tl!.
  • No new dependencies and no assets.
  • The change should build for wasm, since it adds nothing platform-specific.
  • Docs are updated in cartography.md.
  • Regression tests cover parsing, hostile project files, rendering and the draft logic.

Nit (confidence: medium): when the typed pattern is invalid (4 x, more than 8 steps, a step over 500, 0 0), parse_dash returns None and the draft is silently dropped on focus loss. The box then snaps back to the old pattern with no message. Consider a red outline or a hover note while the draft doesn't parse. Also, the preview treats a period under 1 px as solid using k-scaled steps, while the renderer uses ppp-scaled steps, so the two can disagree for fine patterns.

Both done in 0c8a3e6. Text that doesn't parse as a pattern now gets a red outline while it's typed, since it won't be kept when the box loses focus; the hover text already gives the format. The preview now draws solid by the map's rule: the pattern's own period times the screen's pixels per point, under 1 px. It no longer uses the preview's fitted scale.

Code review

This PR adds dashed line strokes. It adds a Dash type with bounded steps, a dash field on LineStroke, a "dash" parameter on layer.lineStrokes, render support in tiny-skia, an editor field with presets, and docs. I read the diff and the code around it. I did not build the code or run the tests. The tests added in the diff cover the command, the project load path, the render limit and the editor draft.

Bugs

None found. The input handling is sound:

  • Dash::new rejects NaN, infinite, negative, oversized and all-zero patterns.
  • The Deserialize path clamps instead of failing, so a crafted project can't panic.
  • LineStroke::clamped turns an empty pattern into a solid line.
  • stacked_path goes through the same Ctx::dash, so batched strokes in stroke_paths.rs get the same limit.

Security

None found. The render cap on dash count (MAX_DASHES) and the 8-step, 500-point limits bound the work a hostile project file can cause. There is no unwrap, indexing or unsafe in the non-test code.

Performance

None found. path_length is a single pass per stroke per feature. If the path length is NaN, the dashes <= MAX_DASHES check fails and the stroke is drawn solid.

Quality

  • Invalid text typed in the Dash box is dropped without feedback when the box loses focus. The field snaps back to the old pattern. Confidence: medium (nit, see inline comment).
  • The editor preview and the renderer decide separately when a pattern is too fine to dash. The preview uses k-scaled steps and the renderer uses ppp-scaled steps, so they can disagree for patterns near 1 px. Confidence: low.

AGENTS.md

  • Never crash: followed. The command test covers hostile dash params.
  • Translatable text: the new labels and hover text use tl!.
  • Wasm: no std::time or file access added.
  • Assets: none added.

crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs:4103-4106
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Discard the dash draft when Escape cancels editing.

Escape surrenders focus from a TextEdit by default in egui, so r.lost_focus() is true on that frame. This branch then parses the draft and calls set, so Escape commits the typed pattern. The class-label editor in the same file drops its draft on Escape. Apply the same check here and skip set when Escape was pressed.

Minor (confidence ~50%): text that doesn't parse (e.g. 4 x, a step above 500, more than 8 steps, or all zeros) is dropped silently on focus loss. The box reverts to the old pattern with no hint about why. Consider showing an error colour or hover while the draft is invalid, since the rules are stricter than the tooltip says (max 8 steps, each ≤ 500).

Also, dash_text rounds to 2 decimals. A stored pattern such as 0.004 shows as 0, and re-committing the shown text would change it. This is unlikely to matter in practice.

The first point was done in 0c8a3e6 (invalid text gets a red outline while typed). The rounding is fixed in 278b240: lengths show as kept, and the box only sets a pattern that was typed.

Code review

This PR adds dash patterns to line strokes. It touches the Dash type in map, the layer.lineStrokes command, the tiny-skia renderer, the stroke editor UI and the docs. I read the whole diff and found no blocking problems.

Checked, no problems found:

  • Never crash: Dash::new and From<Vec<f32>> clamp or reject NaN, infinite, negative, oversized and too-long input. Slicing uses get/get_mut and there is no unwrap in non-test code. The renderer only draws a dash when period >= 1 and the path would be cut into at most 100,000 dashes. Anything else draws solid. Path length is measured along the whole path, which stops a zigzag in a tiny bounding box from slipping past the limit.
  • Hostile project files: a saved pattern with no length loads as a zero-length Dash. LineStroke::clamped turns that into None (solid). The new tests cover this.
  • Command validation: layer.lineStrokes validates dash before it changes anything. The test confirms a refused pattern leaves the layer and the undo depth alone.
  • Wasm and layering: no new dependencies, std::time or egui use below L6.

Bugs

  • None found.

Security

  • None found.

Performance

  • None found. path_length is one linear pass per dashed stroke, and the dash count is capped.

Quality

  • crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs:4134: an invalid dash entry (unparsable, a step over 500, more than 8 steps, or all zeros) is silently discarded when the box loses focus, so the field just reverts. dash_text also rounds to 2 decimals, so a tiny stored step can display as 0. Confidence about 50%; inline comment posted.
  • Pre-existing and out of scope: dash was not added to the GPU line path (gpu_scene.rs/tile_mesh.rs). That path already has its own dashes field. I did not check whether it reads the new LineStroke::dash.

AGENTS.md

  • The new UI strings are wrapped in tl!. The catalogs don't need updating.
  • Docs and tests are included, including a regression test for hostile input.
  • I couldn't run cargo xtask ci.

Count dash work per contour.

Cargo.lock resolves tiny-skia-path to 0.12.0. That implementation restarts the dash pattern for each contour. The estimate at crates/render/src/lib.rs:606 uses only the total path length, so many short contours can each produce dash segments while the estimate remains below MAX_DASHES. Include a per-contour minimum in the estimate, or otherwise account for contour boundaries before enabling dashed rendering.

@giswqs Done, rebased onto main (4e46ced). The only conflict was the dash paragraph in docs/user-guide/cartography.md, next to #752's reworded "levels" paragraph. Both are kept.

One note: tests::flatgeobuf_and_geoparquet_by_address_are_read_in_place can fail in a full cargo test -p rustgis-engine --lib run, on main as well as this branch. It's a race in Layer::load_all: "Load All Features" on a layer whose web source is still opening returns "the layer's source isn't open". It's fixed separately in #775, with a test that reproduces it.

Focusing and leaving the box without typing can still change the stroke. dash_text rounds each step to 2 decimals, but this compares the re-parsed text with the exact st.dash. Take a preset scaled by a width like 1.333, which gives 5.332. The box shows 5.33, and on blur parse_dash returns 5.33, which differs from 5.332. The pattern is overwritten and an undo entry is added. The command path has the same effect for any non-round value.

Only apply the draft when the user edited it. For example, track r.changed() with a flag in the temp data, or only run this block when draft_for(...) was Some. Confidence: medium.

Fixed in 278b240. The box sets a pattern only when its text was typed (a draft for this stroke exists, or it changed this frame), so focusing and leaving it never touches the stroke or adds an undo entry. It also shows the lengths as kept now, so 5.332 stays 5.332. Test: the_dash_box_sets_only_a_typed_pattern.

Code review

The PR adds dashed line strokes: a Dash type, the dash field on LineStroke, dash-aware clipping and rendering, a stroke-editor field, and docs. The code is generally careful about hostile input, and I found one real issue. It is posted inline.

I read the whole diff and checked these areas:

  • Dash construction and deserialization.
  • The layer.lineStrokes parameter handling.
  • The renderer's dash limits and the clip-box phase tracking.
  • The UI editor.

Bugs

  • Dash text is silently rounded on blur (crates/ui-egui/src/panes.rs:4142, medium confidence). dash_text rounds to 2 decimals, but the blur handler compares the re-parsed text with the exact st.dash. Focusing and leaving the box without typing can replace a pattern such as 5.332 with 5.33 and add an undo entry. This happens most easily after choosing a preset scaled by a non-round stroke width. Inline comment posted.

Security

  • Nothing found. Project files and command parameters are clamped (From<Vec<f32>>, Dash::new). The step count and step length are bounded. The renderer caps the dash count at MAX_DASHES and falls back to solid. No unwrap, panic or unsafe was added in non-test code.

Performance

  • Nothing blocking. path_length and contours run once per dashed stroke per feature. The renderer's dash-count limit bounds the cost.

Quality

  • Low confidence: DashStarts::of silently falls back to unphased dashes when the piece count doesn't match. Examples are the globe branch, or an offset path that merges or drops contours. That is safe, but the dashes then start from zero at each piece with no signal.
  • Low confidence: the dash text box applies its draft on any focus loss, including Escape. Escape therefore commits the edit instead of cancelling it.

AGENTS.md

  • User-visible strings use tl! (Dash, Solid, the hover text and the preset labels).
  • The new dash parameter is documented in the command's param string and in docs/user-guide/cartography.md.
  • New tests cover hostile dash input at the command, serialization and renderer levels.
  • No new dependencies or assets.
  • I did not run cargo xtask ci.

Nit (low confidence): the type doc says a Dash is "built only through Dash::new, so its steps are always in range and add up to more than nothing". This fallback builds an empty Dash (len: 0), which breaks that invariant. It is only safe because LineStroke::clamped() filters empty dashes, and Dash::period() is 0 for such a value. Anything that deserializes a Dash and skips clamped() would see an empty pattern. Two ways to tighten this: make the deserialize path produce Option<Dash> through a deserialize_with function, or state the empty case in the doc.

Fixed in 31f5427. A project's pattern is now read by a field deserializer (de_dash): steps are brought into range, and one left without length reads as None, solid. The empty Dash is gone, so a Dash is only ever built through Dash::new, as its doc says, and LineStroke::clamped() no longer has to filter it. The hostile-pattern test also reads a LineStroke on its own now, without clamped().

Also in this push: rebased onto main for the egui 0.37 bump (#781). The dash box's id comes from Ui::scope_id (3b2101f), which fixes the clippy and wasm32 failures.

Code review

This PR adds dashed line strokes. It adds a Dash type with validated steps, a dash field on LineStroke, and the layer.lineStrokes command parameter. It also adds renderer support that keeps the dash phase across clip-box cuts, a cap on dash count, and a UI editor with presets. I only read the diff and the staged files. I did not build or run anything, and the checks below come from reading the code.

Bugs

  • No confirmed bugs. I checked these paths and found them guarded:
    • Dash counting: NaN and infinite counts fall back to solid.
    • Path-piece count mismatch: DashStarts::of checks that the counts match, so a mismatch falls back to one stroke.
    • Phase: rem_euclid(period) is safe because the period is at least 1 px.
    • The empty-Dash fallback is covered by clamped() and by the period >= 1 check.
  • Minor, low confidence: the dash phase offsets come from the unshifted path, but strokes with an offset are drawn on the offset path. The phase can drift slightly on tight curves. This is cosmetic.

Security

  • No issues. Project-file dashes are clamped, limited to 8 steps and treated as solid if they have no length. The renderer bounds the dash count, and the command parameters are validated. The hostile-input tests cover these cases.

Performance

  • No issues. path_length is O(n) per stroke. The renderer clones steps once per path piece, and that only happens on the rare clipped-and-dashed path.

Quality

  • Low confidence: the Dash doc claims an invariant that the From<Vec<f32>> fallback breaks by producing an empty value. I raised this as an inline comment.

AGENTS.md

  • No violations. There are no unwrap, expect or panic! calls in non-test code, and tests accompany each layer (map, engine, render, UI). The new UI strings use tl!, and the docs are updated.

A stacked line stroke can be dashed (`LineStroke::dash`): lengths in
points, dash and gap in turn, as SVG's stroke-dasharray (an odd list is
repeated). Kept in a project as that list; a crafted project's steps are
clamped to 0..500 points, cut to 8, and a pattern without length is a
solid line.

- render: stroked with tiny-skia's dash, in pixels; drawn solid when a
  round of the pattern is under a pixel, or would cut a path into more
  than 100,000 dashes.
- engine: `"dash": [points, ...] | null` on each stroke of
  `layer.lineStrokes`, refused when out of range.
- ui: a Dash row on each stroke (typed, such as `4 2`, or picked:
  dashed, dotted, dash-dot, long dash, sized to the stroke's width), and
  the stroke preview draws the dashes.

Low confidence: contours drops any piece finish() rejects (a lone move-to), but stacked_path zips its output with starts.of(drawn), which matched the move-to count. If a piece is dropped, or offset_path removes or splits a piece, the pieces and starts silently shift by one and later pieces get the wrong dash phase. contours could return (Option<Path>, …) or keep indices so the starts stay aligned. Alternatively, assert contours.len() == at.len() before zipping and fall back to the solid or unphased path when they differ. The change is cosmetic (dash phase only), so it isn't blocking.

Fixed in 508d45b, the second way you suggest: stacked_path uses the starts only when contours(drawn) gives exactly as many pieces as there are starts. Otherwise it strokes the path as one, unphased, as it does for a line that wasn't cut. In practice the counts match: of() counts the drawn path's move-tos, and every piece of a finished tiny-skia path is a path of its own again, even a lone move-to and close. But a mismatch now can't shift the later pieces' dashes.

Code review

This PR adds a per-stroke dash pattern. A new Dash type is validated on construction, and the layer.lineStrokes command and project loading both accept it. The renderer dashes strokes and keeps the pattern in phase across clip-box cuts. The stroke editor gets a Dash box with presets. I found no blocking problems.

Bugs

  • Dash phase can drift when contours() and starts fall out of step (crates/render/src/lib.rs, inline comment posted). stacked_path zips contours(drawn) with starts.of(drawn), and that length check counts the path's move-tos. If contours drops a degenerate piece, or offset_path removes or splits one, the phases shift by one piece. The effect is cosmetic, only a wrong dash phase. Confidence: low (~25%).

Security

  • Nothing found. Project files and command parameters are both bounded: at most 8 steps, each 0 to 500 pt. Non-finite steps are clamped on load and rejected by Dash::new, and an all-zero pattern becomes solid. The renderer also falls back to solid when a pattern would cut a path into more than 100,000 dashes, and path_length counts the control polygon, so winding paths are covered.

Performance

  • path_length and dash() run for every dashed stroke on every feature, and contours() allocates for every cut line. Both are cheap relative to the stroking, so this is only worth keeping in mind. Confidence: low.

Quality

  • The tests are thorough: hostile input, a save and load round trip, an undo-depth check on refused patterns, clip-cut phase continuity, and the dash-count limit.
  • The editor's dash box handles focus, Escape and drafts per layer and class sensibly. The helper functions are unit-tested.

AGENTS.md

  • No unwrap, expect or panic in non-test code, and no indexing. Slicing goes through get.
  • New interface text is wrapped in tl!.
  • There are no new dependencies and no assets.
  • I did not run cargo xtask ci, so I can't confirm fmt, clippy and layering pass.

Two small concerns here (confidence: medium-low):

  1. starts holds distances along the unshifted line, but drawn can be the offset path. An offset curve's length differs from the centre line's (inner/outer side of bends), so a cut line's dash phase drifts slightly for offset strokes. It's cosmetic, but the doc says dashes keep "where they'd be uncut".
  2. When the contour count doesn't match (c.len() != at.len()), the code silently falls back to one dash phase of 0 for the whole path. That means a clipped line's dashes jump at each cut. A test for an offset or multi-part dashed line would pin down which behaviour is intended.

Thanks. Taking them in turn:

  1. Right: the starts are distances along the line itself, so an offset stroke on a line that bends before the cut gets a start that is off by how much longer or shorter the shifted line is up to there. That is a fraction of the offset per bend, and only on lines cut at the clip box, so I left it. Measuring it exactly would mean offsetting the whole uncut line for each offset stroke, just to measure up to each cut, which is the work the clipping exists to avoid. On a straight line the shifted line is as long as the line, and e469e6c pins that down: a_line_cut_at_the_clip_box_keeps_its_dashes_where_they_were now also draws a stroke offset 3 pt and checks its dashes against the same offset line drawn uncut. With no starts, 15 pixels of the row differ, so the test does catch a lost phase.

  2. The fallback is deliberate. It is what every dashed line did before 55f46b6, and with today's paths it is reached only when offset_path leaves a run with no length (all its points the same), which leaves nothing to draw there anyway. Using wrong starts would be worse than restarting the pattern.

Code review

This PR adds dashed line strokes. It covers the Dash type, the layer.lineStrokes command, rendering with the dash phase kept across clip-box cuts, a stroke editor field, and docs. I found no crash or security problems. I read the diff and surrounding files only. I did not build the code or run any tests.

Bugs

  • Dash phase on offset or non-matching paths (low–medium confidence). crates/render/src/lib.rs:658: DashStarts records distances along the unshifted line, but offset strokes are dashed on the shifted path. The phase therefore drifts slightly at bends. If the contour count doesn't match, the whole path falls back to phase 0, so dashes jump at each clip cut. Inline comment posted.

Security

  • No issues. Project files and command parameters are handled as hostile input:
    • de_dash clamps steps, cuts the list to MAX_DASH_STEPS and treats a zero-length pattern as solid.
    • The command rejects out-of-range or malformed patterns.
    • The render side limits dash count (MAX_DASHES) and skips patterns under 1 px.
    • There is no unwrap or indexing in the new non-test code.

Performance

  • No issues. The path-length check guards against runaway dash counts, including winding paths. Pieces are only split when clipping actually happened.

Quality

  • Inconsistent handling of bad dash values (low confidence). The command rejects negative steps, but de_dash silently clamps them to 0 when loading a project. This is documented, but the two paths behave differently.
  • UI preview threshold (nit). The preview decides "solid" using d.period() * ppp, without the stroke scale k. This matches the code comment ("at the pattern's own size"), but it can disagree with what the map renders.

  • The new interface strings are wrapped in tl!.
  • Tests cover hostile dash input, the hostile_params_never_panic area, and round-trips.
  • std::time is not used.
  • ATTRIBUTION.md is not affected, since there are no new assets.

Code review

PR #765 adds dashed line strokes. I found no blocking bugs, and the design looks sound. The notes below are minor or low-confidence. I read the diff and the surrounding stacked_path code, and I did not build or run anything. I posted no inline comments, because none of the concerns is a clear defect with a small committable fix.

Bugs

  • Offset strokes with a cut line (low confidence, ~25%). DashStarts records where each piece starts along the unshifted line. For an offset stroke, drawn is the shifted path, so the phase is only exact where the shifted length equals the original length. The test covers a straight line only. On curves, the dashes of an offset stroke can drift by a fraction of a dash relative to the centre line after a clip cut. This is cosmetic and rare, because it needs a line cut at the clip box and a curved offset. A one-line note in the doc comment would be enough.
  • Non-finite project values (low confidence, ~20%). In de_dash, an overflowing 1e40 becomes inf after the f32 cast and is mapped to 0.0, not MAX_DASH_STEP. That is the opposite of how finite large values are treated, and it could turn a "very long dash" into a gap. Hostile input is handled safely, so this is only an inconsistency.
  • Non-numeric entries in a project's dash list (low confidence, ~25%). An entry such as ["a"] makes Vec<f32> deserialization fail, and with it the whole layer. The doc comment says out-of-range values are brought into range rather than rejected, so this edge differs from that intent. Check whether a bad dash should lose the whole layer.

Security

  • No issues found. The engine command, the project loader and the renderer all bound hostile input: at most 8 steps, 0–500 points per step, a period of at least 1 px, and at most 100k dashes. Nothing used unwrap, indexing or unsafe.

Performance

  • Per-feature cost on the render path (low). For each dashed stroke of each feature, Ctx::dash allocates (even_steps() plus a Vec) and walks the whole path in path_length. When a line is cut, contours() also rebuilds the paths. This is fine at normal scale, but caching the scaled steps per stroke would remove the allocations on layers with many features.

Quality

  • Preset conversion in the UI (nit). DASH_PRESETS scaled by w.max(1.0) can exceed MAX_DASH_STEP for wide strokes (for example 50 points × 8 = 400, so it is still in range). If it ever exceeded the limit, Dash::new would return None and the preset would silently set a solid line. Today that cannot happen, but it relies on MAX_STROKE_WIDTH staying at or below 62.
  • Duplicated validation (nit). The Dash range rules are written out three times: Dash::new, the engine command's clamp-then-new, and de_dash. The pieces agree, but a shared Dash::from_lossy helper would keep the loader and the command in step.
  • Clarity (nit). DashStarts::push and of use an implicit "empty means nothing cut" convention, and pieces doubles as a count of pushes. This is correct but subtle. A short example in the doc comment would help.

AGENTS.md

  • Never crash: the new code uses get, get_mut and try_from instead of indexing or unwrap. Regression and hostile-input tests are added for the map, engine and render crates. OK.
  • Translatable text: the UI uses tl! for "Dash" and the hover text, and the preset labels go through tl!(label). The engine error strings are not translated, which is correct for commands. OK.
  • Layering and wasm: no new dependencies or platform-specific code. OK.
  • Docs: cartography.md is updated. OK.
  • Not verified here: CI results, cargo xtask ci, and the wasm build.

…, not 0; notes on offset starts and DashStarts

Thanks for the review. On the notes:

  • Offset strokes on a cut line: done as a doc note in 801eeb5, on stacked_path: the starts are exact for an offset stroke on a straight line (pinned by the test from e469e6c) and a little off after bends. Exact starts there would mean offsetting the whole uncut line per stroke; see the inline thread.
  • Non-finite project values: fixed in 801eeb5. A step too large for an f32 (1e40, infinite once read) now clamps to MAX_DASH_STEP like any large one; only NaN reads as 0. Added to the hostile-pattern test.
  • Non-numeric entries: left as is. A non-number in a project fails that layer the same way for every numeric field (width, offset, a renderer's sizes), and the clamping in de_dash is about numbers out of range, not about the wrong type.
  • Per-feature allocations: left for now. Ctx::dash is one small Vec and a walk of the path per dashed stroke, next to stroking the same path; I would rather measure before caching.
  • Presets above MAX_DASH_STEP: cannot happen while MAX_STROKE_WIDTH is 50 (8 × 50 = 400 ≤ 500). If either changes, the preset would fall back to solid, not panic.
  • Duplicated validation: the two paths differ on purpose. The command rejects a bad pattern with an error, so a script learns about it, while a project file is brought into range, so a hand-edited file still opens. Both build through Dash::new, which holds the rules.
  • DashStarts: 801eeb5 adds an example to its doc comment ([0, 0, 41] after a third piece starting at 41) and says what pieces counts.

Code review

I read the whole diff and the surrounding code for LineStroke::clamped, the dash types and the render path. I found no blocking problems. I only read the code, so I didn't build it or run the tests.

Bugs

  • None found. The areas I traced:
    • clip_line: the start offset is set only when a new piece begins, and Ctx::dash limits the number of dashes.
    • DashStarts: the pieces/at bookkeeping is consistent. of() returns None unless the starts match the path's pieces one to one, and stacked_path then falls back to a single path starting at 0. Offset paths that drop pieces take the same fallback.
    • Dash::new and de_dash: they reject empty, NaN, negative, oversized and all-zero patterns and truncate extra steps. Infinite values clamp to the longest step.
    • stacked_path: rem_euclid(period) is safe because period >= 1.0 once Ctx::dash returns Some.

Security

  • No issues. Project-file dash lists are bounded to 8 steps and 0–500 pt. The dash count per path is capped at 100,000. The command path rejects bad patterns without changing state, and a test covers that.

Performance

  • Low confidence, minor: each dashed stroke of each feature in each frame calls path_length, contours and even_steps, which allocate. Solid strokes are unaffected, so I wouldn't change it now. If dashed line layers with many features render slowly, caching these per feature is the first thing to try.

Quality

  • Low confidence, nit: layer.lineStrokes rejects a step above 500 pt (the test expects [1e9] to be an error). Loading a project clamps the same step to 500. The difference is defensible, because project files are hostile input and commands should report errors, but a short comment saying so would help the next reader.
  • Nit: DASH_PRESETS labels go through tl!(label) with a non-literal. This is fine if the macro supports it, which the AGENTS.md notes imply since missing catalog entries fall back to English.

AGENTS.md

  • No unwrap, expect, panic or unsafe in non-test code. Indexing is replaced by get.
  • The layer.lineStrokes params doc is updated.
  • The user guide documents the feature.
  • The new UI strings use tl!.
  • The new dependencies and asset rules aren't touched.
  • I didn't see the hostile-params test list extended explicitly. a_stroke_is_dashed_by_command covers hostile dash values, and the existing hostile_params_never_panic test should still cover the command.

Thanks. The command-versus-project nit is done in f4f22b7: a comment at the dash parsing in layer.lineStrokes says why it rejects a pattern out of range while de_dash brings a project's into range. tl!(label) with a non-literal is used the same way elsewhere in the UI (bookmarkpane.rs, geometrycalc.rs, editpanes.rs); the preset labels aren't in the catalogs yet, which AGENTS.md says a PR needn't do (they show in English until the release translation). I am leaving the per-feature caching until a dashed layer shows up slow in a profile, as you suggest.

Code review

I read the whole diff and found no blocking issues. I could not build or run anything here (no Bash tool), so none of this was compiled or tested. I posted no inline comments, because nothing seemed worth pinning to a line.

Bugs

  • None found, in the following areas.
    • Dash::new and de_dash are consistent: the sum check and the Option returns cover NaN and infinite steps, an empty list, too many steps, and all-zero steps.
    • The padding in steps is always zero, so the derived PartialEq is sound.
    • In clip_line, start = before + len * t0 is set whenever a new part opens, so each part's start is right.
    • DashStarts::of and the contours length check fall back to the uncut dashing if an offset path drops a piece.
    • at.rem_euclid(period) cannot divide by zero, because Ctx::dash already requires period >= 1.0.
    • The globe branch pushes no starts, so of() returns None and the stroke is drawn with plain dashing. (confidence: medium-high)
  • The dash phase after a bend on an offset stroke is approximate. The code comment says so, so this is a known trade-off and not a bug. (confidence: high)

Security / Never crash

  • No unwrap, expect or indexing was added in non-test code.
  • The command path rejects hostile dash input: wrong types, too many steps, steps out of range, and 1e9. The project-file path clamps it instead.
  • Dashing is bounded by MAX_DASHES and a period of at least 1 px. Both the winding-path case and the many-dashes-per-round case are tested.
  • hostile_params_never_panic should still cover the new parameter. I did not confirm that the junk-parameter fixtures include dash. (confidence: low)

Performance

  • Ctx::dash calls path_length for every dashed stroke of every feature, and stacked_path calls contours and clones steps per piece. Both only happen for dashed strokes, and the dash limit is what bounds them. Memoising the path length across the strokes that share a drawn path would be a small optimisation. (confidence: low, nit)

Quality

  • layer.rs rejects a dash that is out of range, while de_dash clamps one read from a project file. The comment explains why, which is fine.
  • Dash::period() builds a Vec through even_steps() just to sum it. It is called in the UI preview on every frame. This is trivial, but a direct sum would avoid the allocation. (confidence: low, nit)
  • DASH_PRESETS is scaled by w.max(1.0). The highest value is 8 × 50 = 400, under MAX_DASH_STEP, so Dash::new never returns None for a preset. (confidence: medium)

AGENTS.md

  • The new UI strings use tl!.
  • The user documentation is updated in docs/user-guide/cartography.md.
  • Tests were added in the engine, map, render and UI crates, including regression tests for hostile input.
  • No new dependencies and no new assets.
  • cargo xtask ci is the gate. I could not run it, so please confirm it is green. This includes the wasm build, which relies on is_multiple_of (needs Rust ≥ 1.85).
