Generating an intermediate representation for converting between legacy vector paths and vector networks

A system comprising:

• one or more memory devices;
• and
• one or more processors configured to cause the system to:
• determine, for a vector image comprising a plurality of paths, a first path representation of the plurality of paths comprising a set of junctions corresponding to shared points in the vector image and pairs of junctions corresponding to primitives within a vector network graph;
• generate, from the first path representation, a bidirectional intermediate representation of a vector image comprising vertices at the set of junctions connected by edges representing the primitives according to the pairs of junctions, wherein the bidirectional intermediate representation comprises vertices, edges, and edge sequence mappings for converting between Bezier curves and the vector network graph;
• generate, utilizing the bidirectional intermediate representation in connection with a request to perform an image editing operation on the vector image, a second path representation of the plurality of paths by generating path data according to the vertices while traversing the edges of the bidirectional intermediate representation, the vertices comprising end points of Bezier curves;
• and
• perform the image editing operation according to the path data from the second path representation.

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions thereon that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:

• determining, for a vector image comprising a plurality of paths, a first path representation of the plurality of paths comprising path data including end points and control points of the plurality of paths, the path data corresponding to Bezier curves;
• generating, from the first path representation, a bidirectional intermediate representation of a vector image comprising vertices of the end points connected by edges representing the plurality of paths according to the control points of the plurality of paths, wherein the bidirectional intermediate representation comprises vertices, edges, and edge sequence mappings for converting between the Bezier curves and a vector network graph;
• and
• generating, utilizing the bidirectional intermediate representation, a second path representation of the plurality of paths comprising a vector network graph including a set of junctions corresponding to the vertices and primitives corresponding to the edges.
