  • Patent number: 11568836
    Abstract: A system may render glyphs based on stored textures without loss of quality at subpixel scales. The system may determine a content of a pixel of a display corresponds to a glyph, determine a subpixel alignment offset of a specified screen coordinates for the glyph with respect to the pixels of the display, based on the subpixel alignment offset, select one or more versions of the glyph from a plurality of versions of the glyph, a first version of the glyph of the plurality of versions of the glyph having a corresponding first subpixel alignment offset and a second version of the glyph of the plurality of versions of the glyph having a corresponding second subpixel alignment offset, and generate a display version of the pixel based on the selected one or more versions of the glyph and the subpixel alignment offset of the specified screen coordinates.

  • Publication number: 20220091824
    Abstract: A visual-programming tool provides an encapsulation mechanism configured to operate as a discrete section of a graph corresponding to a program in a visual-programming language. The encapsulation mechanism is configured to bind control flow of the visual-programming language to the encapsulation mechanism, determine logic associated with an encapsulated section of the graph, determine input and/or output associated with the encapsulated section, and present a visual representation of the encapsulation mechanism encompassing a visual representation of the input and/or output and logic in a graphical-user interface associated with the visual-programming tool. In some examples, the visual-programming tool can automatically position nodes associated with the encapsulation mechanism in the graphical-user interface.
