Abstract

In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, methods, and/or processes may display, via a graphical user interface, a graphic; and for each time value in ordered multiple time values: may determine, based at least on the time value of the ordered multiple time values, first multiple light intensity values of respective first multiple pseudo light sources at respective first multiple positions with respect to the graphical user interface and associated with a first clipping path of the graphic; for each pixel of first multiple within the first clipping path of the graphic, may determine a lightness value for the pixel of the first multiple pixels based at least on non-linear relationships of distances between the pixel of the first multiple pixels and each of the first multiple positions; and may display, via the graphical user interface, the first multiple pixels within the first clipping path of the graphic.

Dependent claims

An information handling system, comprising:

at least one processor;
and
a memory medium, coupled to the at least one processor, that stores instructions executable by the at least one processor, which when executed by the at least one processor, cause the information handling system to:
display, via a display, a graphical user interface;
display, via the graphical user interface, a graphic;
and
for each time value in an ordered plurality of time values:
determine, based at least on the time value of the ordered plurality of time values, a first plurality of light intensity values of a respective first plurality of pseudo light sources at a respective first plurality of positions with respect to the graphical user interface and associated with a first clipping path of the graphic;
for each pixel of a first plurality of pixels within the first clipping path of the graphic, determine a lightness value for the pixel of the first plurality of pixels based at least on non-linear relationships of distances between the pixel of the first plurality of pixels and each of the first plurality of positions;
display, via the graphical user interface, the first plurality of pixels within the first clipping path of the graphic;
determine, based at least on the time value of the ordered plurality of time values, a second plurality of light intensity values of a second first plurality of pseudo light sources at a respective second plurality of positions with respect to the graphical user interface and associated with a second clipping path of the graphic;
for each pixel of a second plurality of pixels within the second clipping path of the graphic, determine a lightness value for the pixel of the second plurality of pixels based at least on non-linear relationships of distances between the pixel of the second plurality of pixels and each of the second plurality of positions;
and
display, via the graphical user interface, the second plurality of pixels within the second clipping path of the graphic.
