  • System and method for creating mark-making tools
    Patent number: 7079153
    Abstract: A mark-making tool creator creates mark-making tool definitions for a graphic computer software application having a mark-making tool handler for handling mark-making tools based on mark-making tool definitions. The mark-making tool creator comprises a donor handler for receiving definitions of selected donor mark-making tools and a control value synthesizer. Each definition has a set of donor control values defining the respective donor mark-making tool. The control value synthesizer interpolates the sets of donor control values of the selected donor mark-making tools to generate one or more new sets of control values, and provides the new sets of control values to the mark-making tool handler as new definitions to create and display new mark-making tools for user's preview.
