Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for optimizing a glyph-based file. Individual components may be identified within glyphs of a file. Each identified component within a glyph may be a portion of the glyph, and may be a joint component or disjoint component. Groupings of components may then be determined, where the groupings are determined based at least in part by identifying similarly shaped components. A representative component may then be selected from each grouping. Composite glyphs may be generated and stored in an optimized file, where each composite glyph includes a reference to at least one representative component.

Abstract: A panel view module receives a comic comprising one or more pages, which comprise one or more panels. The panel view module may identify candidate comic panels and determine confidence levels for the candidate comic panels. The panel view may also generate a panel view for the comic based on the confidence levels for the candidate comic panels.
