Font Decoration by Automatic Mesh Fitting
نویسنده
چکیده
Glorious Fonts, a new graphically-based font type, allow interesting effects to be applied to existing character sets. The difficulties of automating this process are examined in the context of applying Celtic knotwork designs to plain text characters. An analysis of knotwork construction techniques shows how complete designs may be described by an expanded tile set. This paper also presents an algorithm for automatically fitting a flexible mesh to arbitrary character outlines, based on a semiregular distribution of internal points and their Delaunay triangulation. This mesh is of particular interest as it is composed of well-formed quadrilateral elements, with few supporting triangular elements, upon which the knotwork design may be realised.

Fast, Automatic, Topology-Preserving Gradient Mesh Generation for Image Vectorization
Gradient mesh vector graphics representation, used in commercial software, is a regular grid with specified position and color, and their gradients, at each grid point. Gradient meshes can compactly represent smoothly changing data, and are typically used for single objects. This paper advances the state of the art for gradient meshes in several significant ways. Firstly, we introduce a topolog...
متن کاملA Thin-plate CAD Mesh Model Splitting Approach Based on Fitting Primitives
Extracting structural information from mesh models is crucial for Simulation Driven Design (SDD) in industrial applications. Focusing on thin-plate CAD mesh models (the most commonly used parts in electronic products such as PCs, mobile phones and so on), we present an algorithm based on primitive fitting for segmenting thin-plate CAD mesh models into parts of three different types, two of whic...
متن کاملDecoration of plastic objects using multi view-dependent textures
This work takes place in the context of an industrial project, which aims to decorate 3D plastic objects using Insert Molding technology. The goal of our work is to compute the decoration of 3D virtual objects, using data coming from polymer film characterisation and mechanical simulation. To do this, we introduce a new method to bind texture mapping techniques to a physical process. In the gen...

متن کاملReal-Time Grid Fitting of Typographic Outlines
This paper describes an auto-hinting algorithm to grid fit glyph outlines. Instead of generating new hints for font files or font editors, the computations are done in real-time while rendering the glyph, posing strong efficiency constraints. A freely available implementation can be found in the FreeType font rendering library.
