  • Infinite resolution scheme for graphical user interface object
    Patent number: 6606103
    Abstract: A method and system for creating a controllable, shaped, and scalable graphical user interface (“GUI”) object for use in an application program displayed on a computer. An infinite resolution scheme according to the present invention may display a GUI in any shape at any size with minimal or no loss of original image quality. Infinite resolution may be accomplished by storing optimized vector image data (“OVID”), as opposed to raster-type data, for the outline and body of the image to be displayed. When the image is resized or reshaped, the OVID is accessed so that the original quality of the image is captured and maintained.
