Abstract
Methods and devices to improve the quality of graphics objects based on adaptive stroke thickening are disclosed. The method includes receiving a graphics object having a stroke, where the stroke defines a fill region. The received graphics object is identified as a fill object based on the stroke including a first cell of a stroke color being different from a fill color of a second cell associated with the fill region. The stroke color and the fill color are compared with a background color of a third cell associated with a background according to a predefined condition, where the first cell, the second cell, and the third cell are linearly adjacent to each other. Based on the comparison, an adapted color being different from the background color of the third cell is selected to adaptively strengthen the first cell, which is associated with the stroke, away from the fill region.
