The present disclosure provides systems and methods displaying and formatting text on an electronic display. A gesture input may be received via a gesture input device associated with the electronic display. For instance, a touchscreen may receive a touch gesture input. Each of a plurality of gesture inputs may be associated with a formatting rule and/or a text-component for selecting a portion of displayed text. Selected text may be formatted according to the formatting rule associated with the received gesture input. The formatted text may be displayed on the electronic display. A data store may associate each of the plurality of gesture inputs with a formatting rule that can be applied to selected text. Alternatively, a data store may associate each of the plurality of gesture inputs with a formatting rule and a text-component that defines to which component of text the formatting rule should be applied.

Systems and methods for gesture-based formatting

A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor to receive a set of data elements associated with a user-defined content having a content type. The processor interpolates the set of data elements to produce a first set of content data based on a filter domain associated with the user-defined content. The processor further refines the first set of content data based, at least in part, on the content type to produce a second set of content data. The processor also sends a signal representing the second set of content data such that the user-defined content is displayed based on the second set of content data.

Methods and apparatus for providing a digital illustration system

A non-transitory processor-readable medium storing code representing instructions to be executed by a processor to define a set of indicators encoding a set of content segments from the set of content segments. The processor further defines, for each content segment, a first link between that content segment and an indicator from the set of indicators, such that the first link associates a center component of the content segment to that indicator. The processor also defines, for each content segment, a second link between that content segment and an adjacent content segment within the sequence of content segments, such that the second link associates an edge component of that content segment to an edge component of the adjacent content segment. The processor also defines a presentation of the set of content segments based on the first link and the second link, for each content segment.

Methods and apparatus for providing graphical view of digital content

A method is provided that comprises receiving, from a user device, a first input indicating a first color, from a color palette, as a source color. The method further comprises receiving, from the user device, a second input indicating a second color from the color palette as a target color. The method also comprises receiving, from the user device, a plurality of user movement indicators representing an incremental mixing of the target color into the source color. The method further comprises defining a plurality of colors based on the first input, the second input and the plurality of user movement indicators. The method also comprises storing, data associated with each color from the plurality of colors. The method further comprises sending, for each color from the plurality of colors, a signal to display a representation of that color on the user interface associated with the user device.

Methods and apparatus for providing color palette management within a graphical user interface

A graphical user interface (GUI) including an illustration can be rendered. In response to receiving a signal from an input device indicating a location within the illustration, a layer can be defined. When the layer is applied to the illustration, the GUI can be updated such that a portion of the illustration under a filter is displayed as an altered feature. The filter can overlay the indicated location. In some embodiments, another portion of the illustration different from indicated location may not be filtered. Similarly stated, only a portion of the layer can include the filter and/or the layer may not overlay the entire illustration. A signal can be received from the input device indicating a use of the tool on the layer and, in response, the altered feature can be modified.

Methods and apparatus for providing partial modification of a digital illustration

A system for displaying hybrid image data produced by embedding additional media objects within street-level panoramic images includes a user interface through which a user may view, search for, and/or navigate through additional media objects in the context of browsing a virtual environment of a location at street level. In response to user input indicating a request to view a geographic location and/or an additional media object, street-level panoramic image data associated with the geographic location, in which one or more additional media objects also associated with the geographic location have been embedded, may be provided for display through the user interface. The user interface may be provided by a client device including one or more processors that receive hybrid image data produced by one or more processors of a server and display the image data to the user.

Viewing media in the context of street-level images

In accordance with one or more aspects, multiple folders are generated each corresponding to one of multiple levels of an image pyramid, and each of the multiple levels including one or more tiles. In each of the multiple folders, one or more files are stored, each file including image data for a tile of the level corresponding to the folder. In accordance with other aspects, a first version of an image is generated, the first version of the image having a lower resolution than the image. The image is compressed using a first compression process, and the first version of the image is compressed using a second compression process, the second compression process being a higher quality process than the first compression process. Both the compressed image and the compressed first version of the image are stored as an image pyramid for the image.

Multiple resolution image storage

A system and method are disclosed, that may include establishing communication between a first computer and a second computer over a communication link, the second computer having an image collection stored therein in the form of compressed image data; selecting a plurality of images in the collection for communication to said first computer; and transmitting low-resolution image data for all of the selected images from the second computer to the first computer before transmitting full-resolution image data for any of the selected images.

System and method for managing communication and/or storage of image data

A system and method are disclosed which may include converting data identifying a plurality of visual features into a plurality of pixel characteristic data values; and forming an image file with pixels having the respective pixel characteristic data values.
