Methods and apparatuses for controlling transformation of two and three-dimensional images

A method of modifying a starting graphical image comprising:

• (a) generating a starting image having a plurality of characteristics;
• (b) storing in a library a plurality of sets of modification data;
• (c) retrieving a first set of modification data from said library;
• and
• (c1) multiplying said first set of modification data by a multiplier value;
• (d) modifying said starting image based on said first set of modification data, such that a first characteristic of said starting image is changed, wherein a feature of said starting image is modified based on said first set of modification data multiplied by said multiplier value.

A method of modifying a starting graphical image comprising:

• (a) generating a first starting image having a plurality of characteristics;
• (b) storing in a library a plurality of sets of modification data;
• (c) retrieving first and second sets of modification data from said library;
• and
• (d) multiplying each of said first and second sets of modification data by at least one multiplier value;
• (e) simultaneously modifying a feature of said starting image based on said first and second sets of modification data multiplied by said at least one multiplier value.

A method of modifying a graphical image comprising:

• (a) generating a starting graphical image of a character, said character capable of expressing a plurality of transformations;
• (b) generating at least a first graphical object located proximately to said starting graphical image, said graphical object including a data structure defining a transformation applicable to said starting graphical image;
• (c) determining a spatial relationship between said starting graphical image and said graphical object;
• (d) generating a multiplication value based on said relationship between said graphical object and said starting graphical image;
• (e) multiplying a first set of modification data by said multiplication value, wherein one of said transformations to said starting graphical image is capable of being implemented based on said modification data;
• and
• (f) modifying said starting graphical image based on said first set of modification data.
