Abstract: A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for boundary-aligned anti-aliasing. In one embodiment, artwork input comprising a first set of one or more graphical elements and a second set of one or more graphical elements may be received. The first set may comprise at least one horizontal or vertical line segment. Each graphical element in the first set of one or more graphical elements may be automatically aligned to pixel boundaries based on a pixel resolution of a target imaging device. An anti-aliasing function may be applied to generate a selectively anti-aliased artwork based on the artwork input. Applying the anti-aliasing function may comprise applying anti-aliasing effects to the second set of one or more graphical elements and not to the first set of one or more graphical elements. The selectively anti-aliased artwork may be displayed on the target imaging device.

Abstract: A touchscreen device may be configured to facilitate drawing lines, circles, and shapes through use of a guide device placed on the touchscreen. The touchscreen device may detect the position and orientation of the guide device, for example, by determining an axis of the guide device based on a set of locations at which the guide device triggered contact signals on the touchscreen. Based on the detected position and orientation of the guide device on its touchscreen, the touchscreen device may display one or more lines or shapes on the touchscreen. If a user traces a portion of such a displayed line or shape, the touchscreen device may display the traced portion. A button on the guide device may be configured to cause the touchscreen device to sequentially display available lines and shapes. The user may also configure the button to display one or more user-generated shapes.
