 # Effect paint along the stroke, and live effect paint
 
-- **Along the stroke** (`set_effect_paint` `map: { by: "stroke", length, repeat }`): the effect is
-  rendered as a strip `length` px long (16..4096, default 300) and 256 px across. Each pixel takes
+- **Along the stroke (native path)** (`set_effect_paint` `map: { by: "path" }`): when an effect has
+  a path control (`format: "svg-path"`, reported by `describe_effect` as `pathControls` and
+  `accepts: ["path"]`), each stroke passes its centreline `[x0, y0, x1, y1, …]` in canvas pixels
+  directly to that control and renders at the canvas size. The effect draws and lights itself along
+  the stroke's exact curve (e.g. a neon beam, laser trail or signature whose glow and lighting
+  belong to the path), while the brush's dabs and coverage still decide where paint lands. Strokes
+  with more than 256 points are evenly resampled to 256 points rather than refused. **Prefer
+  `by: "path"` over `by: "stroke"` whenever the effect has a path control** (`accepts: ["path"]`);
+  `set_effect_paint` refuses `by: "path"` on effects without a path control and tells you to use
+  `by: "stroke"` or `by: "canvas"`. Each stroke is a render of its own at the canvas size, so:
+  - A stroke painted by hand shows the effect along the path drawn so far while it is drawn,
+    re-rendered one render at a time, so it trails the pen by about one render. It is painted
+    again along its whole path when the pen lifts, as one undo step; if the preview already
+    rendered the whole path, at once. On a slow provider the editor is busy until that lands
+    (`effectPaintRendering`). `paint_stroke` and `stroke_path` know the path up front and paint
+    it at once.
+  - Wet brushes can't be painted by hand this way, as the simulation can't run twice; give them
+    the points through `paint_stroke`, or use `by: "stroke"`.
+  - With `live: true`, every stroke is a live source of its own, so at most 8 can play.
+  - Symmetry copies sample the same render, which only follows the original stroke: paint each
+    copy as its own stroke if it should draw too.
+- **Along the stroke (strip)** (`set_effect_paint` `map: { by: "stroke", length, repeat }`): for
+  effects without a path control, the effect is rendered as a strip `length` px long (16..4096,
+  default 300) and 256 px across. Each pixel takes
   the colour at its distance along the stroke and its place across the tip, so the pattern follows
   the stroke's turns instead of staying fixed to the canvas. `repeat` starts the strip again
   (default), `mirror` runs it back, `clamp` holds the last colour. Use it for ribbons, ropes,
-  flames and textures that should flow with the mark; use the default canvas mapping to reveal one
-  hidden picture across many strokes. Every colour-laying brush takes it (watercolour, gouache, oil
-  and impasto too; sprayed stickers at their centre); particle and bristle marks take the place of
-  their pen dab.

   Scaled replays (`export_high_res`) scale `length` with the canvas.
 - **Live** (`live: true`): on a stroke layer (`add_layer {type: "strokes"}`) each stroke keeps
   playing the effect, so the paint moves. Paint the strokes, then `set_effect_playback`
