ABSTRACT:
A method (1005) generates one or more linear blends. Initially, the method has a list of already received one or more fill-paths defining a current linear blend, and a newly received fill-path, where the fill-paths each comprise a single colored parallelogram (eg.700). The method adds (1090) the new fill-path to the list to become the last fill-path in the list, if the difference (1230) in color between the new fill-path and the last fill-path in the list is no greater, in each color channel, than a predetermined threshold value multiplied by the difference in color between the last and second-last fill-paths in the list. The predetermined threshold value is preset to such a value so that the new fill-path will not be added to the list if the new fill-path does not visually form part of the current linear blend. The method repeats this step for each new fill-path received until the aforementioned condition is not satisfied. Then, the method generates (1040) one or more linear blends from the first fill-path in the list to the last fill-path in the list.
