Eva Marco 2f47be6c15 🐛 Show the size badge on paths and straight lines (#12066)
* 🐛 Show the size badge on paths and straight lines

The badge was hidden when the shape was smaller than the badge in
either side. Flat paths have a zero width or height, so they never
showed it, and straight two-point paths hid it on purpose.

Paths now only compare their longest side with the badge width. A
straight line compares its length, and the badge runs along the
line, rotated with it and kept upright. Near the bottom of the
viewport the badge moves to the other side of the line.

The badge now reads the size from the shape :selrect, like the
measures inputs, so a rotated path shows the same values in both
places. The three badge branches share a single render block.

* ♻️ Extract the size badge layout and add tests for it

Move the badge geometry out of selection-size-badge* into the pure
size-badge-layout function, so it can be tested without rendering.
The component now only picks the color and draws the result.

Add unit tests for rects, flat paths and straight lines: when the
badge hides, where it sits, how it rotates and how it moves when it
reaches the bottom of the viewport. Keep the line rotation between
-90 and 90 degrees instead of returning 360 for lines drawn leftward.

The e2e test still expected straight lines to hide the badge. It now
checks that the badge shows and follows the line angle.

* ✨ Show the length of straight lines in the size badge

A straight two-point path is measured by its length, not by the box
around it, so its size badge now shows the length with two decimals at
most instead of width x height. Other shapes and paths keep width x
height.

The shorter text makes the badge narrower, so it also shows on shorter
lines; the rule is the same, the badge needs the line to be at least as
long as the badge.

Relates to #12064

* 🐛 Hide the path size badge when the path is lower than it

Paths other than a straight line only hid the size badge when their
longest side was narrower than it, so a wide but low path, or a narrow
but tall one, still showed it. Flat paths no longer need that special
case, since straight lines get their own length badge. Use the same
rule as any other shape: hide the badge when either the width or the
height of the path is smaller than the badge.

Penpot is the open-source design platform for teams that build digital products at scale.

Penpot’s key strength lies in giving you full ownership of your design infrastructure. Built on open source and designed for self-hosting, it puts teams in complete control of their design environment supporting strict compliance and governance requirements. Whether used in the browser or deployed on your own servers, Penpot works with open standards like SVG, CSS, HTML, and JSON.

Real-time collaboration strengthens this foundation, helping teams scale and bring design closer to the product through top-tier capabilities. Additionally, developers feel at home using Penpot, because design is expressed as code, enabling a direct translation and shipping products faster.

Best-in-class native Design Tokens provide a single source of truth between design and development. They ensure consistency, improve collaboration, and make it easier to manage complex design systems.

The MCP server takes it further by enabling multi-directional workflows between design and code. A powerful open API and plugin system makes the workspace programmable, enabling automation, AI-driven workflows, and integrations with the tools and systems you already use.

With CSS Grid and Flex Layout, teams can design responsive interfaces that behave like real code from the start.

Combined, these features turn Penpot into a full-stack design platform for building scalable design systems and fully integrated product development processes.

If your organization is scaling and needs extra support, we’re here to help. Talk to us
