Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method for reproducing vector images based on signed distance field samples, the method comprising: approximating an outline of a vector image using a set of circular arcs, wherein the vector image is associated with a two-dimensional grid of points corresponding to a region of space in which the vector image is to be reproduced; computing a signed distance value for a selected group of points in the two-dimensional grid based on a location of each of the selected points with respect to the approximated outline of the vector image; for each point in the selected group of points, identifying an arc from the set of arcs having a lowest absolute distance from the location of the respective point relative to other arcs in the set of arcs; assigning the signed distance value to each point in the selected group based on the identification; and reproducing the vector image within the region of space corresponding to the two-dimensional grid of points based on the signed distance value assigned to each point in the selected group.
