Patent number: 11301125Abstract: Techniques are described for performing inter-object interactions between vector objects to adjust the appearance of one vector object based on another vector object. For example, a vector object interaction framework may be implemented in which designers drag a vector object onto another vector object to trigger an interaction between the objects. Candidate interactions between pairs of object types may be pre-defined and stored in a suitable data structure. Thus, when one vector object is dragged onto a recipient vector object and a pause is detected, the object types for the dragged and recipient objects may be determined, and a corresponding set of candidate interactions for the pair of object types may be accessed, ranked, simulated, and/or presented as selectable previews. As such, one of the candidate interactions may be selected and executed to form one or more output vector objects that may be saved, exported, modified, and/or reused.Type: GrantFiled: April 24, 2020Date of Patent: April 12, 2022Assignee: Adobe Inc.Inventors: Tarun Beri, Tarun Gehlaut, Siddharth Bhasin, Ankit Aggarwal
