Abstract: A sketch-based interface within an animation engine provides an end-user with tools for creating emitter textures and oscillator textures. The end-user may create an emitter texture by sketching one or more patch elements and then sketching an emitter. The animation engine animates the sketch by generating a stream of patch elements that emanate from the emitter. The end-user may create an oscillator texture by sketching a patch that includes one or more patch elements, and then sketching a brush skeleton and an oscillation skeleton. The animation engine replicates the patch along the brush skeleton, and then interpolates the replicated patches between the brush skeleton and the oscillation skeleton, thereby causing those replicated patches to periodically oscillate between the two skeletons.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method for editing an interactive dynamic illustration includes receiving a first input associated with a functional relationship between a first visual entity in the dynamic illustration and a second visual entity in the dynamic illustration, receiving a second input that associates a visual parameter of the first visual entity with the functional relationship, and receiving a third input that associates a visual parameter of the second visual entity with the functional relationship. The method further includes causing a graphical representation of the functional relationship to be displayed that visually links the first visual entity and the second visual entity. At least one advantage of the disclosed method is that a user can graphically define and/or modify interactive behavior of the visual elements of an interactive dynamic illustration without textually editing the software that generates the illustration.
