  • Publication number: 20020175923
    Abstract: A graphics processing method using depth parameters for manipulating the inter-overlapping situation between graphic objects and image objects. For each of the graphic objects, the pixels thereof are assigned to respective depth parameters by a three-dimensional transformation procedure. Each of the image objects is assigned to one constant value as its depth parameter. The rendering of the image objects and the graphic objects is performed by sequentially displaying these objects according to their depth parameters. On an overlapping region between these objects, a visible object is selected from the overlapping objects according to the depth parameters assigned to the parts of these objects corresponding to the overlapping region. The resulting image is further processed by processing surface intersections of the overlapping regions of the overlapping objects to smooth the boundary area.

  • Publication number: 20020118216
    Abstract: A method for rendering a trimmed ribbon image with a string. The user first inputs the string to be attached to the trimmed ribbon. Then a ribbon route of the trimmed ribbon is generated by a wrap function. Next, the ribbon route of the trimmed ribbon is cut into a plurality of sub-paths by several cutting points. The cutting points are determined by their slope values of tangent lines. The sub-paths and the attached string are applied by desired effect or shading functions to generate a plurality of segments of the trimmed ribbon, respectively. Finally, the segments are combined to produce the complete trimmed ribbon image.
