Abstract:
A method for rendering a brush stroke on an electrical document, the method comprising the steps of:(a) setting a number of nibs to be rendered in the brush stroke;(b) setting initial position values determining an initial position of each nib relative to a center point;(c) setting movement variables representative of movement of each nib relative to the centre point to a value other than zero;(d) determining a current position of the centre point relative to the document;(e) calculating a new position for each nib, relative to the current position of the centre point, based on the initial position values and the movement variables;(f) rendering a dab at the new position of each nib; and(g) repeating the steps (d) to (f) while the centre point is being moved so as to render the brush stroke.
