More Information
Summary:Techniques are disclosed for enabling scaling graphical elements defined based on one or more mathematical functions, while retaining certain features of the graphical elements. In various embodiments an example method may include defining a shape relative to a primitive object based on one or more functions, the shape including a feature based on a configurable parameter associated with the one or more functions. An image of the shape is then rendered and displayed via a display device. The example method continues with receiving an input indicative of a request to scale the shape. In response to receiving the input, the rendering and display of the image of the shape is dynamically updated by scaling the primitive object based on the input, wherein scaling the primitive object scales the shape, but retains a scale of the feature as set by the configurable parameter.
