Abstract: A graphics processing system generates and employs an affine transformation matrix of transformations for creation of computer graphics replications. The affine transformation matrix encapsulates transformations to the base art to create a replication of a computer graphic. For given transformations, the graphics processing system identifies operations and operation configuration data relating to each operation. For each operation, the graphics processing system generates coefficients for the affine transformation matrix. The affine transformation matrix is multiplied with the base art to generate the repetition. In some configurations, each repetition may require more than one affine transformation matrix to achieve the desired repetition. The order of application of affine transformation matrices to the base art is also modified depending on order of operations to be applied to the base art. A prior repetition may serve as base art for another level of repetition.

Abstract: Scaling arbitrarily complex graphical objects is described by superimposing a grid of four guide lines on a graphical object defined by one or more vectors. The guide lines define nine grid sections.

When executed in a compatible run-time container, the container virtually renders a transformed representation of the graphical object in memory. Using information gathered from analyzing the outline of the transformed representation, the run-time container generates code blocks for transforming each of the vectors within the grid sections an appropriate amount that conforms to the outline information. The resulting transformed vectors are displayed in the running application.

Abstract: A processor is operable to generate a graphics data representation (GDR) for a graphic created at a first resolution and including two or more separated objects. The processor decomposes the objects into contours and determines features and control points along the contours. Additionally, the processor determines constraints for imposition upon the features and control points during scaling, where the constraints include spatial relationships between the control points. The processor stores the constraints, identifications of the features and control points, contour descriptions, and information identifying the first resolution to produce the GDR. Upon acquiring the GDR, a displaying device's processor determines a scaling value based on the first resolution and a second resolution at which the graphic will be displayed, adjusts features and control points of the contours based on the scaling value and the GDR constraints to produce a scaled graphic, and displays the scaled graphic at the second resolution.

Abstract: A method and/or system of scaling images by providing a horizontal macroblock scaler with pixels of the images in units of macroblocks and a vertical macroblock scaler where the pixels of the output image are in units of macroblocks. For the horizontal macroblock scaler macroblocks decoded or vertically scaled are read into the horizontal scaler to generate horizontally scaled macroblocks of pixels. The horizontal scaler need not access data stored in a memory, which reduces the memory bandwidth need for scaling the image. For the vertical macroblock scaler macroblocks decoded or horizontally scaled are read into the vertical scaler from memory to generate vertical scaled macroblocks of pixel. The output of the vertical scaler can be sent directly to an encoder without going through memory first, which reduces the memory bandwidth need for scaling the image.
