Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and system for extending characters. The method automatically identifies sections of a character to elongate and sections of the character to not elongate. The method moves the sections of the character that are not to be elongated and elongates the sections that are to be elongated. The sections to be elongated are those sections of the character that are parallel to an axis for extending the character.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A machine-implemented method of extending a character, the method comprising: receiving a character comprising a set of graphical data that defines a shape of the character; automatically analyzing the set of graphical data that defines the shape of the character to identify a set of sections of the character that are parallel to an axis of the character and a set of sections of the character that are not parallel to the axis of the character; for at lea…
