  • Patent number: 11727193
    Abstract: Described herein is a computer implemented method. The method comprises detecting initiation of a curved text effect in respect of a selected text string of a design; determining a radius; processing the selected text string to split the selected text string into one or more text string elements, each text string element being associated with a glyph; calculating, for each text string element, an element transformation that includes element rotation data and element position data, the element transformation being based on the radius; and rendering each text string element by, for a given text string element, rendering the glyph that the given text string element is associated with based on the element transformation calculated for the given text string element.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10726081
    Abstract: A method includes receiving, at a processor of a computing device, a first search query during editing of a design, the first search query including at least a first search term. The method also includes identifying at least one style attribute associated with the design and searching at least one database based on the first search term, the at least one style attribute, or a combination thereof, to generate search results. The method further includes outputting the search results. A first search result of the search results is ranked higher than a second search result of the search results based on a determination that the first search result more closely matches the at least one style attribute associated with the design than the second search result.
