Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for manipulating and/or mapping tiles of graphical object data are provided. For example, a method for manipulating an original tile of graphical data may include generating a mirrored copy of the original tile by mirroring the original tile with respect to a first side of the original tile, superimposing the mirrored copy on the original tile, erasing a first portion of the superimposed mirrored copy of the original tile, and blending at least some of the remaining portion of the superimposed mirrored copy of the original tile with the original tile to create a manipulated tile. The manipulated version of the original tile may be patterned (e.g., in an extensible manner) along a layer of a virtual canvas that may have various aspect ratios, while maintaining a seamless or fluid transition between adjacent tiles.
