ABSTRACT:
A method, system, and computer-readable storage medium are disclosed for rendering Bézier curves using a graphics processing unit (GPU). In one embodiment, a plurality of quadratic Bézier curves approximating a cubic Bézier curve are automatically generated. In one embodiment, the plurality of quadratic Bézier curves are rendered using the GPU.
