ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for generating and displaying points along a centerline curve and right and left offset curves of a freeform stroke, wherein the distances from the centerline curve to the right and left offset curves vary in the same parameter as the horizontal and vertical coordinates of the centerline curve. Preferably, the centerline curve is a spline curve and the points along the centerline curve are generated using a subdivision technique in accordance with predetermined termination criteria.
