Abstract: The method and system of the current invention allows any type of drawing, whether raster or vector, to be transformed into an intelligent scalable vector graphics objects. An intelligent scalable vector graphics object is created for each part within a parts diagram. The intelligent scalable vector graphics objects can be viewed using a standard browser. The intelligent scalable vector graphics objects may contain interactivity intelligence and external link intelligence. The files created using the present method and system are extremely small, and can be used with applications on mobile devices.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method of creating a bounding polygon around a graphical object, wherein the method comprises: creating a rectangular bounding box; placing a plurality of bisectors perpendicular to one side of the rectangular bounding box; for each bisector, determining a set of intersection points between the bisector and the graphical object; and for each set of intersection points, determining edgemost intersection points; wherein the bounding polygon is defined by a set of points created from the edgemost intersection points for each bisector.
