Paint reflection around a curvilinear path

A system for performing paint reflection of a plurality of sample points around a curvilinear path comprising:

• a processor, wherein said processor is adapted to execute a curvilinear paint reflection process, said process further comprising:
• receiving a curvilinear path, wherein said curvilinear path comprises a plurality of points and separates a first region from a second region;
• for a sample point within said first region, determining an associated reflected point in said second region by:
• determining a closest point on said curvilinear path contour;
• and,
• performing a linear paint reflection operation with respect to said sample point and said closest point to generate said associated reflected point.

A computer program product including one or more non-transitory machine-readable mediums encoded with instructions that when executed by one or more processors cause a process to be carried out for performing paint reflection of a plurality of sample points around a curvilinear path, the method comprising:

• receiving a curvilinear path, wherein said curvilinear path comprises a plurality of points, and separates a first region from a second region;
• for a sample point within said first region, determining an associated reflected point in said second region by:
• determining a closest point on said curvilinear path contour;
• and,
• performing a linear paint reflection operation with respect to said sample point and said closest point to generate said associated reflected point.
