A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12002133B2) discloses a method and system for generating strokes with variable widths on a user interface. The method involves receiving an input defining a stroke, determining the width of the stroke using a smooth noise function to apply jitter, generating a vector object representing the stroke with variable width, and displaying it on the user interface. The width of the stroke is adjusted based on pressure and velocity data associated with the input, and jitter is applied at specific locations along the stroke to create the variable width effect.

Furthermore, the system described in the patent includes a processing device and computer-readable storage medium storing executable instructions to perform operations such as receiving input defining a stroke, determining locations for applying jitter, adjusting the width of the stroke using a smooth noise function, generating a vector object with variable width, and displaying it on the user interface. The system also allows for controlling the amount of jitter applied at different locations along the stroke, ensuring a smooth and visually appealing variable width effect. The patent also covers a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions for determining jitter amounts, adjusting the stroke width, and generating a vector object with variable width, providing a comprehensive solution for creating strokes with dynamic widths on a user interface.
