Abstract: Embodiments of provide systems, methods, and computer storage media for scaling raster content using pre-computed scalar fields, such as images or textures. In an example implementation, an initial raster image is processed to generate a representation of three scalar fields: an unsigned distance field, an adjacency field, and a color plane (also called a color field or a color texture). These three fields are pre-computed prior to scaling (e.g., outside of a rendering loop), and then subsequently used (e.g., by a GPU as textures) to render a scaled version of the initial raster image.

Abstract: Live text glyph modification is described. A content processing system receives a selection input to select a glyph via a user interface of a content editing application. Responsive to this selection, the content processing system generates an outline of the glyph's geometry and enables modification of the outline relative to left-bearing, right-bearing, and baseline positions for the glyph, which define the glyph's position relative to other glyphs of the text content.

Abstract: A graphics or image rendering system, such as a map image rendering system, receives image data from an image database in the form of vector data that defines various image objects, such as roads, geographical boundaries, etc., and textures defining text strings to be displayed on the image to provide, for example, labels for the image objects. The imaging rendering system renders the images such that the individual characters of the text strings are placed on the image following a multi-segmented or curved line. This rendering system enables text strings to be placed on a map image so that the text follows the center line of a curved or angled road or other image feature without knowing the specifics of the curvature of the line along which the text will be placed when creating the texture that stores the text string information.
