Abstract: A system and method for provisioning dynamically generated content. One embodiment can interface a content delivery system and a content management system at the fragment level. Depending upon how a page is organized, a fragment may refer to a block within the page, a portion of the page, or a content item presented on the page. When a content item is updated and published onto the content management system, one embodiment can operate to track dependencies of managed pages and invalidate/validate fragment(s) affected by the change(s) accordingly. The updated fragment(s) may then be dynamically assembled on-the-fly or on-demand. The updated fragment(s) may or may not be cached. In this way, changes made to a piece of content can be reflected in all pages which utilize this content almost simultaneously with the changes to the content itself.

Abstract: Systems and techniques to apply an image distortion to two image objects of different graphic types. In general, in one implementation, the technique includes: receiving an image distortion description to be applied to an image portion including a vector graphic and a raster graphic, the raster graphic being distortable separate from the vector graphic, applying the image distortion description to the vector graphic to produce a distorted vector graphic, and applying the image distortion description to the raster graphic to produce a distorted raster graphic, the distorted vector graphic and the distorted raster graphic together forming a distorted image portion.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for simulating various physical effects on 2D objects in two-dimensional (2D) drawing environments. A set of 2D physical simulation tools may be provided for editing and enhancing 2D art based on 2D physical simulations. Each 2D physical simulation tool may be associated with a particular physical simulator that may be applied to 2D objects in an image using simple and intuitive gestures applied with the respective tool. In addition, predefined materials may be specified for a 2D object to which a 2D physical simulation tool may be applied. The 2D physical simulation tools may be used to simulate physical effects in static 2D images and to generate 2D animations of the physical effects. Computing technologies may be leveraged so that the physical simulations may be executed in real-time or near-real-time as the tools are applied, thus providing immediate feedback and realistic visual effects.
