ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus for digitally synthesizing non-uniform and seamless images representing textured marks. A method for rendering a mark in a graphics application includes receiving information specifying a mark and generating a representation of the mark based on the received information. The representation includes a sequence of one or more pattern instances. Each pattern instance is selected from a collection of patterns. Each pattern in the collection of patterns includes an arrangement of graphical elements and, furthermore, is selectable while the second component is being generated. The collection of patterns incorporates some variation among the arrangement of graphical elements of the patterns of the collection.
