A method, system, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to conduct a hybrid raster/vector based paint operation. A user commences a raster based paint operation. Based on the raster operation, vector-based information is determined and recorded. The system then determines if a requested user operation requires the vector-based information. If the requested user operation requires the vector-based information, a representative raster based stroke is generated/recreated based on the vector-based information and the requested user operation is performed on the representative raster based stroke.

A computer-implemented graphics program for drawing a spline. The spline is drawn using a first method in the graphics program. Thereafter, the graphics program seamlessly switches from drawing the spline using the first method to drawing the spline using a second method, in response to a first user command. Further, the graphics program may also seamlessly switch from drawing the spline using the second method to drawing the spline using the first method, in response to a second user command.

The present invention relates to a system for interactively moving a hit point within a current triangle of the model, where the hit point defines a location of a brush stamp relative to the model, where a circle with a radius either defines the brush stamp or minimally contains the brush stamp. For each vertex of the current triangle containing the hit point, a sub-neighborhood of vertices of the model is defined by including in the sub-neighborhood vertices of the model that are within a distance of the hit point, the distance being a sum of the radius of the circle added to a length of a longest edge that is attached to the vertex. A sub-parameterization for each sub-neighborhood is then computed. The system then finds a barycentric coordinate of the hit point in the current triangle, where the barycentric coordinate has three barycentric values, each corresponding to a vertex of the current triangle. The system the computes a local parameterization by weighted averaging of the sub-parameterizations, where each sub-parameterization is weighted according to the barycentric value of the vertex of its sub-neighborhood.

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to automatically reproduce film grain into a new image. A reference image and new image are obtained. An image of the reference image is subdivided into two or more tiles. A grain simulation tool is then used to automatically determine if an object feature exists in each of the two or more tiles. Response curves are constructed for each of the tiles that does not contain an object feature. Frames of grain are produced/generated based on the response curves and added to the new image.

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provides the ability to process image data. Image data is output as picture screen elements to a display. In response to selecting a sample of the picture screen elements, a reference co-ordinate system is generated. The reference co-ordinate system is used to process each of the picture screen elements. An axis of the reference co-ordinate system defines a distance. The picture screen elements are discriminated and processed according to the distance by proportionally averaging the co-ordinates.

A data processing apparatus, comprising data storage having a plurality of defined storage elements, memory containing usage data indicating which of the storage elements contains data, and a processor is configured to update the usage data in response to data being stored within the data storage. The memory contains a datastore. The processor is configured to analyze the usage data to determine the number of the storage elements not containing data, store information within the datastore indicating the number of storage elements not containing data and read information from the data storage to determine whether the further data may be stored.

A method, apparatus, and article of manufacture provide the ability to conduct a paint operation in a procedural renderer and a reveal paint operation while dynamically selecting multiple layers. For the procedural renderer based paint operation, a schematic view of a flow of clip image data is displayed having nodes and lines connecting the nodes. Within the schematic view, a layer node is obtained utilized to perform a paint operation without processing the operators associated with each node in the schematic view. For the reveal paint operation, a paint application obtains a composite having multiple layers. The paint application dynamically identifies one or more of the multiple layers to be used in a reveal operation. Once identified, the reveal paint operation is performed wherein a reveal tool is used to reveal contents of the one or more identified layers at a position where the reveal tool is used.

The present invention relates to a system of interactive navigation of a tool relative to three-dimensional volumetric data. The tool may be a camera or a brush and the volume data may be points, curves, iso-surfaces, geometric surfaces or combinations thereof. Moreover, the volume data may be explicitly or implicitly created. In the case of a camera and a surface, a surface of the model is viewed from an initial view point with an initial view direction. A two-dimensional vector, as by moving a mouse, is used to translate the initial view point to a next view point in a plane normal to the view direction and intersecting the initial view point. A point of the surface that is closest to the next view point may then be found, and the next direction of the view is set to the direction from the next position of the view point to the closest surface point. The closest point is found by casting rays from the next view point. The next view direction may be set to the direction of the ray corresponding to the point with the smallest distance. The next view point may be further translated toward or away from the closest surface point, along the newly set next view direction, to a location that is a same distance from the surface as the initial view point.
