Abstract
The disclosure introduces polar stroking for representing paths. A system, method, and apparatus are disclosed for representing and rendering stroked paths employing polar stroking. In one example, a method of approximating a path is provided that includes: (1) evaluating, in parallel, multiple links of a path, wherein each link of the multiple links is evaluated in steps based on tangent angle changes of the link, and (2) providing a polar stroked representation of the path employing the steps. A computing system for rendering is also provided. In one example, the computing system includes one or more processing units to perform one or more operations including generating, in parallel, a polar stroked representation of individual links of a path, and rendering a stroked tessellation of the path based on the polar stroked representations of the individual links.
