Diagramming & Text

Why we did this

Qpixel could only paint blocks. To draw diagrams it needed lines, arrows and a way to type labels.

What happened

The editor gained line and arrow characters, a text tool, nudge buttons, and select, copy and paste. Its colors now match Qpoint's design system.

In wordsThe palette gained seven groups of line characters: light, heavy, double, rounded, dashed, arrows and diagonals.

How we got here

Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.
