Systems and methods for efficiently generating and modifying an outline of electronic text

Abstract:

Certain embodiments involve efficiently generating and/or modifying an outline of electronic text. For example, a system obtains data indicating a glyph identifier associated with a first glyph of a plurality of glyphs displayed via a graphical user interface. The system retrieves a first outline of the first glyph from a cache using the glyph identifier and determines a transformation matrix associated with the first outline of the first glyph. The system generates first base art data for the first glyph, the first base art data including the first outline of the first glyph and the transformation matrix. The system converts the first glyph into the first outline based at least in part on the first base art data and then displays the first outline via the graphical user interface.
