Abstract
A method of stroking a curved path with a fill of pre-determined thickness, where the path has line segments defined by a number of points, the method being performed by forming a number of projection lines normal to the curved path at the points, where each of the projection lines has a length based on the fill thickness, determining an intersection between a set of the projection lines, the intersection indicating the occurrence of a void in stroking the curved path, and then constructing one or more polygons filling in the void in the stroked path.
