Digital Media Environment for Intuitive Modifications of Digital Graphics

In a digital medium environment to process vector objects of a digital graphic in a digital graphics creation system, a system comprising:

• a continuity module implemented at least partially in hardware of a computing device to determine continuity between segments of a Bezier curve using geometry of the segments of the Bezier curve, the continuity further determined where the segments of the Bezier curve meet based on a determination that a handle of the Bezier curve is retracted;
• a mesh generation module implemented at least partially in hardware of the computing device to:
• receive a user input defining handles on the Bezier curve and a user input to deform the Bezier curve by interacting with the handles;
• and
• generate a mesh based on the deformed Bezier curve;
• a curve generation module implemented at least partially in hardware of the computing device to:
• locate control points of the mesh;
• and
• refit the segments of the Bezier curve to the deformed Bezier curve using the control points and maintain continuity between the segments of the Bezier curve;
• and
• a vector output module implemented at least partially in hardware of the computing device to generate a vector artwork based on the deformed Bezier curve having the refitted segments, and output the vector artwork.

In a digital medium environment to process vector objects of a digital graphic in a digital graphics creation system, a system comprising:

• means for accessing the digital graphic, the digital graphic having at least one vector object with a Bezier curve;
• means for receiving user input including:
• defining handles on the at least one vector object;
• and
• interacting with the handles, the interacting indicating a desired change to the at least one vector object;
• means for modifying the at least one vector object based on said interacting by:
• accounting for topology of the at least one vector object;
• and
• maintaining connections between connected segments of the Bezier curve, the connections maintained, in part, based on a continuity determined where the connected segments of the Bezier curve meet and based on at least one of the handles that corresponds to the Bezier curve being retracted;
• and
• means for outputting the modified digital graphic including the at least one vector object.
