Claim:
1. A method for creating a graphics data representation for a graphic that includes a plurality of objects separated by one or more predefined spatial relationships, the graphics data representation facilitating scaling of the graphic from a first resolution at which the graphic was created to a second resolution at which the graphic is to be displayed, the method comprising: determining a plurality of constraints to be imposed upon features of a plurality of contours of the plurality of objects and control points of the plurality of contours during scaling of the graphic, the plurality of constraints including spatial relationships between control points of two or more contours constituting at least part of two or more spaced apart objects; establishing at least one priority among the plurality of constraints, the at least one priority including favoring an imposition of a first constraint of the plurality of constraints over an imposition of a second constraint of the plurality of constraints; and storing the plurality of constraints, the at least one priority, identifications of the features and the control points, descriptions of the plurality of contours, and information identifying the first resolution as a graphics data representation in a format understandable by a processor of an electronic device.
