Abstract
A method and system for preserving a graphics file that includes at least one graphics object comprises: embedding in the graphics file, by a first application executing on a processor, a semantic representation of the at least one graphics object that is sufficient to re-create and edit the graphic object; and reading the graphics file, by a second application, and extracting the semantic representation and using the semantic representation to re-create the graphics object for display on a display device.
Claims16
A method for preserving a graphics file including at least one graphic object, comprising:
- embedding in the graphics file, by a first application executing on a processor, a semantic representation of the at least one graphics object that is sufficient to re-create and edit the graphic object;
- and
- reading the graphics file, by a second application, and extracting the semantic representation and using the semantic representation to re-create the graphics object for display on a display device.
An executable software product stored on a computer-readable medium containing program instructions for preserving the graphics file, the program instructions for:
- embedding in the graphics file, by a first application executing on a processor, a semantic representation of the at least one graphics object that is sufficient to re-create and edit the graphic object;
- and
- reading the graphics file, by a second application, and extracting the semantic representation and using the semantic representation to re-create the graphics object for display on a display device.
