A computer system 100 for production of ink separations from an object-based print pre-process apparatus using a page description language. The print pre-process system facilitates creation of object spreads for any combination or configuration of objects on the rendered page. For each object on a rendered page, the computer system 100 makes use of a spread table to determine spread incidences. For each spread incidence, the computer system generates set union, intersection and difference for spreading, receiving, and obstructing objects by use of a modified Weiler algorithm. The modified Weiler algorithm creates a simplified graph of contour histories providing a visible portion of the spread object. The visible object is strokable within a clipped window set to the receiving object. The stroke color and width, set by the spread table, can be knockout print or overprint.
A method for spreading a first object into a second object in the presence of an obstructing object that obstructs the first object, wherein a page description language defines the first, second, and obstructing objects with discrete paths which trace outlines of the first, second, and obstructing objects on a page of a display medium, the method comprising the steps of:
A spreading method, comprising the steps of:
A method for spreading a first object into a second object in the presence of an obstructing object which obstructs the first object wherein said first, second, and obstructing objects are defined with discrete paths which trace outlines of the first, second and obstructing objects on a page, comprising the steps of:
A method of stroking only the outermost portion of a border object that includes a plurality of subobjects of which at least two subobjects intersect one another, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for spreading a first object into a second object in the presence of an obstructing object that obstructs the first object, wherein a page description language defines the first, second, and obstructing objects with discrete paths which trace outlines of the first, second, and obstructing objects on a page of a display medium, the method comprising the steps of:
A method for spreading a first object into a second object in the presence of any obstructing objects wherein a page description language defines the first, second, and obstructing objects, said method comprising the steps of:
A method for spreading a first object into a second object wherein a page description language defines the first and second objects, said method comprising the steps of:
