Claim:
1. A computer-implemented method for displaying a vector graphic and replacing the vector graphic with a new vector graphic, the method comprising steps of: retrieving, by a processing device, a first set of points describing a first vector for a first display element from a first memory location; retrieving, by the processing device, a second set of points describing a second vector for a second display element from a second memory location; modifying, by the processing device, the first set of points by modifying one or more points in the first set of points to form a modification of the first vector; modifying, by the processing device, the second set of points by modifying one or more points in the second set of points to form a modification of the second vector; and displaying, on a display coupled to the processing device, the first vector, then displaying the modification of the first vector to display a modified first vector comprising one or more points, then replacing the modified first vector with a modified second vector comprising one or more points in the display, and then removing the modification of the second vector to display the second vector, wherein the step of replacing the modified first vector with the modified second vector is performed when a deviation of the one or more points of the modified first vector is at or near a maximum.
