Each entity built its own, and what they offered had drifted apart from
what the geometry actually has:
- An arc offered no quadrants at all. It now offers the ones its sweep
covers, and no more.
- A spline offered its control points as endpoints. For a control-point
spline those are not on the curve, so the cursor landed in empty space
beside the geometry. It now offers its two real ends and its midpoint,
with the fit points — which are on the curve — still on offer.
- An elliptical arc had no midpoint and no ends.
A new SnapHint::Endpoint carries an end that cannot go in key_vertices.
Consecutive entries there are taken to be joined by a straight segment
and their midpoint offered, which is right for a line or a polyline and
wrong for anything curved: an arc's two ends would also produce a snap
out on the chord. Splines lose their key_vertices for the same reason —
the chord between two fit points of a curvy spline does not run along
it.
A polyline's midpoints and arc-segment centres stay out of snap_pts
deliberately. The engine already derives a chain's midpoints from its
vertices, and a wire carrying a centre is treated as round elsewhere,
which a polyline with one bulge in it is not.
