dot-app is a Cytoscape 3 app that allows Cytoscape to import and export Graphviz (.dot, .gv) files, also known as DOT files due to the .dot extension and their conformance to the DOT language syntax. The DOT format was originally created in the early 2000s to represent graph topologies, layouts and formatting. DOT-encoded files are produced and consumed by a number of open-source graph applicat...

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a W3C specification for a style sheet language used for describing the presentation of a document written in a markup language, more precisely, for styling Web documents. However, in the last few years, the landscape for CSS development has changed dramatically with the appearance of several languages and tools aiming to help developers build clean, modular and p...

The problem of styling surfaces modeling is tackled. An approach based on section curves fairing is chosen. The concept of template curves is developed for approximating profiles with a monotone curvature variation. Constrained Bezier curves called typical curves are used for that. A curve growing process based on a G typical curve fitting method, is investigated. It consists first in determini...

The fitting of curves in computer aided geometric design is generally regarded as an optimisation problem. According to the application, conditions to be satisfied can make the problem difficult to solve with classical methods. Stochastic ones, such as genetic algorithms, therefore appear as a relevant way of solving. We consider here a curve fitting problem aiming the generation of shapes with...

The digitalization of product-styling tools for the early designdevelopment stage has focused on using raster-type graphics S/Ws. These kinds of S/Ws enable designers freely to generate ideas, and enhance them based on their creativity and aesthetic senses. However, resultants from raster-type tools are no more than images, which are hardly converted to digital forms required by downstream proc...

In this paper we study the problem of hair interpolation: given two 3D hair models, we want to generate a sequence of intermediate hair models that transform from one input to another both smoothly and aesthetically pleasing. We propose an automatic method that efficiently calculates a many-to-many strand correspondence between two or more given hair models, taking into account the multi-scale ...

Industrial Design lies at the interface between the aesthetic elements of styling and appearance, and the innovation which is driven by science and technology. It requires the application of knowledge from a multiplicity of interdependent disciplines. The teaching Industrial Design of at our university, favours the heuristic approach taking inspiration from the natural world[1], the creation of...

“Clothes make the man,” said Mark Twain. This article presents a survey of the literature on Artificial Intelligence applications to clothing fashion. An AIbased stylist model is proposed based on fundamental fashion theory and the early work of AI in fashion. This study examines three essential components of a complete styling task as well as previously launched applications and earlier resear...
