SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SCALING VECTOR-BASED GRAPHIC DESIGNS

摘要

A method to scale a vector-based graphic design by a non-integer scalingfactor. Therelationships of control points of the vector-based graphic design, withrespect to each otherand with respect to the coordinate system of the workspace, are determinedprior torescaling the vector-based graphic design. Subsequent a multiplication of thecoordinatevalues of the control points by the non-integer scaling factor to scale theoriginalvector-based graphic design, the relationships of the control points, in thescaled vector-basedgraphic design, are determined and compared to the relationships of thecontrol points in theoriginal vector-based graphic design. Adjustments of the position of thecontrol points in thescaled vector-based graphic design are effected to obtain, within a pre-determined tolerance,the same relationships.
