ABSTRACT
Contour gradients have color contours that follow the shape of the path being filled. Existing algorithms cannot create them in a resolution- and scale-independent way, causing visible rendering artifacts if enlarged. We describe a new method that approximates them with a set of paths filled by linear gradients. A 3D bevel of the path being filled gives both the shape of these paths and the information needed to compute gradient vectors for the linear gradients. Our representation is efficient, compact, and both resolution and scale independent.

Diffusion curves: a vector representation for smooth-shaded images
We describe a new vector-based primitive for creating smooth-shaded images, called the diffusion curve. A diffusion curve partitions the space through which it is drawn, defining different colors on either side. These colors may vary smoothly along the ...
