Systems and methods are described for generating automatic illustrator guides. The method may include generating a plurality of candidate guides for a digital image (e.g., using an automated shape detection engine), where each of the plurality of candidate guides is a simple shape such as a line or a circle, combining at least two of the candidate guides based on the shape information to create refined candidate guides, generating a pixel coverage map for each of the refined candidate guides, prioritizing the refined candidate guides based on the corresponding pixel coverage maps, selecting one or more drawing guides from the one or more refined candidate guides based on the prioritization, and displaying the digital image along with the one or more drawing guides.

Techniques are disclosed for generating a reference point on a path of a vector image using a preview reference point. In some examples, a method includes receiving selection of a path included in one or more paths of a vector image presented on a display, thereby identifying an active path; causing display, via the display, of a preview reference point on the active path; receiving a moving off-path input gesture and causing the preview reference point to move along the active path correspondingly with the moving off-path input gesture; and in response to the moving off-path input gesture terminating, set a current position of the preview reference point on the active path to a final reference point on the path, the current position of the preview reference point on the active path corresponding to a last position of the off-path input gesture. The display may be a touch-sensitive display.

Reference point generation on a vector path

This disclosure covers systems and methods that sharpen the appearance of a digital illustration while moving the digital illustration. In certain embodiments, upon receiving a command to move a digital illustration, the disclosed systems and methods move the digital illustration (and its constituent line segments) to positions that both sharpen the appearance of the digital illustration and respond to the command. To facilitate sharpening the appearance of a digital illustration as part of a seemingly continuous movement, in some embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods move a blurry digital illustration to a position that sharpens the appearance of blurry axial-line segments by translating the digital illustration according to a translation vector and a command to move the digital illustration.
