Candidates 4 of 9: the rules no guard holds

FIG. A6The atlas's own drawing rules as nine numbered pairs, each incorrect use crossed in red beside its correct form at one scale. Under each pair, and in the schedule, stands the guard that catches it, or no guard, which makes the rule a candidate for one.

GENERAL NOTES

Method. The page follows page 1.6 of the NASA Graphics Standards Manual (NHB 1430.2, January 1976, Danne & Blackburn, in NASA's later reprint, PDF), whose incorrect uses draw nine wrong logotypes, number them and name each in a sentence. Here the subject is the atlas's own drawing rules: each rule is read at build time from the file that states it, docs/ISOMETRIC.md or docs/COPY.md, and each guard from the file that holds it, so a rule whose wording moves, or a guard that loses its check, stops the build. The counts of sheets calling assertPlots and solidFaces are read off the sheet modules the same way.

The pairs. 1, lettering on a mass face, and 2, a mass past the viewBox, are two of the three counts of generator/audit-frames.mjs, which exits 1 on any. 3, overlapping footprints, throws in assertPlots on the 12 sheets that call it. 4, a face written as stroke and fill in one polygon, draws no fill, because each stroke class declares fill: none and the class outranks the attribute; the rear block's edges read through the front one. solidFaces rewrites such a face on the 7 sheets that call it, and stops nothing; face() is the correct form. 9, a count written by hand, is held sheet by sheet with a throw against the plate, sheet 3B's TALLEST among them. 5, a solid hairline leader, 6, a dash drawn as a hidden edge, 7, accent on five elements, and 8, a title box inside the drawing, have no guard: the rules stand in docs/ISOMETRIC.md and in review alone, and these 4 are the candidates.

The plate keeps its own rules. The frame audit reads this plate as it reads the others, so lettering inside a panel is drawn as two rules standing for a line of text: pair 1's incorrect panel sets its rules on the block's face, a fault the audit cannot see because no text is there. Pair 2's block is cut by a drawn frame standing for the viewBox, inside the real one. Pair 4's incorrect panel is written the incorrect way, a stroke class and a fill attribute on one polygon. Pair 7 is the one place the plate spends accent: five caps in the incorrect panel, one cap and its callout in the correct one, and the key names that meaning. The third count of the audit, text-on-text, and the history words the atlas-copy skill greps for by hand stand outside the nine.

KEY

an incorrect use, crossed
its correct form, at the same scale
a line of lettering, drawn as two rules
a pair number, the schedule's
accent, in pair 7 only: the specimen of its own rule
a rule no guard holds: a candidate
