Abstract: In implementations of systems for generating blend objects from objects with pattern fills, a computing device implements a blend system to generate a source master texture using a first pattern fill of a source object and a destination master texture using a second pattern fill of the a destination object. First colors are sampled from the source master texture and second colors are sampled from the destination master texture. The blend system determines a blended pattern fill for the first pattern fill and the second pattern fill by combining the first colors and the second colors. The blend system generates an intermediate blend object for the source object and the destination object for display in a user interface based on the blended pattern fill.

Abstract: Digital representation techniques of intertwined vector objects are described. These techniques support a non-destructive representation of intertwined digital objects. Additionally, these techniques support editing of overlaps to change a visual ordering in an intuitive and efficient manner. Optimization operations are also implemented that remove redundancy, combine overlaps into a single representation, address visual artifacts at borders between the intertwined objected, and so forth.

Abstract: A mechanism for error containment in a data processing system includes receiving a transaction request at a gateway between a host and a device, allocating an entry for the request in a local request tracker of the gateway and sending a link request, to a port of the gateway. In response to an isolation trigger, the port is moved into isolation by completing in-process requests with entries in the tracker and locking the entries. On receiving a response to an in-process request while the port is in isolation, the response is dropped, the associated entry is unlocked, and allocation of the entry is enabled. A completion response is sent to the requester without dispatching a new link request to the port. When requests are completed, the system is quiesced, locked entries are unlocked, and the port is moved out of isolation.

Abstract: In implementations of systems for efficient rendering of clipping objects, a computing device implements a clipping system to generate a clipping tree that includes a root node and a node for each clipping group included in a layer of an input render tree. The clipping system generates a segment buffer having rows that each represent coverage of a branch of the clipping tree and columns that each represent coverage of a level of the clipping tree. The segment buffer is mapped to two-dimensional array, and the clipping system computes coverage for a clipping object of a clipping group included in the layer of the input render tree based on an identifier of a row of the two-dimensional array.

Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed for blending complex objects. The method may include identifying a first complex object and a second complex object. A first primary object associated with the first complex object and a first sequence of geometric repeat operations are determined. A second primary object associated with the second complex object and second sequence of geometric repeat operations are also determined. A blending operation is applied to the first primary object and the second primary object to generate one or more intermediate primary objects. One or more intermediate complex objects are generated from the one or more intermediate primary objects.

The blending system generates a shape mask based on the unique shape identifiers. A color of a pixel of a blend object is computed based on particular objects of the objects that contribute to the blend object using the shape mask. The blending system generates the blend object for display in a user interface based on the color of the pixel.

Abstract: In implementations of systems for efficiently rendering vector objects, a computing device implements a rendering system to identify unique geometries from a set of geometries of vector objects included in a render tree.

Mappings are generated between the vector objects included in the render tree and the tessellated unique geometries using the unique identifiers. The rendering system renders the vector objects included in the render tree for display in a user interface based on the mappings.
