Latest Patents
One of her latest patents is titled "Method for converting non-zero winding to even-odd fill polygons." This invention discloses a method, apparatus, and article of manufacture for converting Non-Zero Winding to Even-Odd rule polygons, regardless of their shapes. The invention can handle convex, concave, self-intersecting polygons, and polygons with holes. It accepts Non-Zero Winding fill polygons and computes all intersection points between the polygons. An initial intersection point between a first polygon and a second polygon is selected, and the perimeter of either polygon is traced from this point. The tracing switches between the perimeters of the polygons as additional intersection points are reached, and the process continues until all intersection points have been encountered.
Another significant patent is "Immediate mode drawing interface for the construction of graphics." This invention discloses an apparatus, method, and article of manufacture for generating graphic images. An application program receives commands from a computer user via an input device and provides an output command stream to multiple renderer programs. These renderer programs selectively modify the output command stream and transmit it to a graphics peripheral device or to other renderer programs.
