Abstract:
The present invention provides a system and method for rendering a smooth gradient of colors across a boundary surface of two or more shapes by creating a polygon mesh representation of the surface of the two or more shapes and rendering the mesh for display such that the curvature of colors is minimized across the mesh.

Claim (Index 15):
A computer vector drawing system for rendering a smooth color gradient across internal seams of a combination shape, comprising:\n at least one input unit for accepting the combination shape, accepting a set of initial node color specifications, and accepting a request for smooth color gradients between certain seams of the combination shape, wherein the combination shape is defined by at least two component shapes, the at least two component shapes are defined by closed path outlines containing initial nodes, the closed path outlines define shared seams between the at least two component shapes, and the set of initial node color specifications define an initial color for each node; at least one system processing unit for rendering the combination shape as a mesh of simple polygons, the polygon mesh defined by the initial nodes of the closed path outlines and a set of additional rendered polygon mesh nodes inside the at least two component shapes, wherein the system processing unit is configured to assign curvature minimization equations to the colors of the nodes of the polygon mesh, and configured to solve the system of equations formed by the curvature minimization equations to determine a derived set of colors, the derived set of colors defining a color for each node of the set of rendered polygon mesh nodes; and at least one graphics processing unit for rendering the color gradient over the combination shape using the derived set of colors and the set of initial node color specifications.
