Glyph editing using adornment objects in digital content
The patent US12073499B2 outlines a method and system for managing the relationship between glyphs and adornment objects in digital content displayed in a user interface. The method involves receiving user inputs to identify a glyph and an adornment object, obtaining their respective anchor points, and generating a link between these anchor points. This link allows for the propagation of edits made to the spatial properties of the glyph—such as position or scale—to the adornment object, ensuring that the glyph remains editable as live text. The system includes various modules, such as an anchor point module, a linkage module, and an edit propagation module, which work together to facilitate these operations and render the updated digital content for display.
Additionally, the patent specifies that the link between the glyph and adornment anchor points can be stored as metadata, potentially as part of stylesheet data associated with the glyph. The system is designed to automatically select anchor points based on proximity or other criteria, and it supports non-destructive edits, allowing for continued typographic operations on the live text after modifications. The patent also covers the storage of instructions on computer-readable media that enable these functionalities, emphasizing the integration of user inputs and the dynamic nature of digital content editing.
