Methods and apparatus implementing a technique for applying a graphical pattern to a path. The technique includes defining a path for display in an electronic document and defining a repeatable graphical pattern. The technique also includes repetitively placing instances of the repeatable graphical pattern along the path to form a continuous pattern which conforms to the path, determining whether a geometry of the path changes and automatically reapplying instances of the repeatable graphical pattern to the path if the geometry of the path changes.

Methods and apparatus, including computer program apparatus, implementing techniques for processing digital artwork. In one aspect, the techniques process aggregations of artwork where both the aggregation and at least some of the aggregated artwork have attached styles. The techniques handle various combinations of conditions resulting in applying style elements to the aggregation before or after applying style elements to underlying artwork. In another aspect, the techniques implement editable path objects having multiple attached fills and/or strokes. The techniques provide user interfaces for using the foregoing features.

A method of blending artwork objects. In the method, user input is received selecting a first parameter setting and a second parameter setting for an effect on an object. The first parameter setting, the second parameter setting and a blend parameter setting are passed to the effect. A third parameter setting is generated in the effect from the first parameter setting, the second parameter setting and the blend parameter setting. The effect is applied to the object with the third parameter setting to generate an rendered version of the object.

Techniques for assigning a subpath attribute to a subpath in a drawing are disclosed. One technique includes editing the drawing to define a current path having a current subpath, matching a previous vertex in a previous path with a current vertex in the current path, and assigning a current subpath attribute to the current subpath based on the vertex match. Another technique includes editing the drawing to define a current path having a current subpath, comparing the current subpath with a previous subpath having a previous subpath attribute, and assigning a previous subpath attribute to the current subpath based on the comparison.

Techniques for assigning a region attribute to a region in a drawing are disclosed. One technique includes editing the drawing to define a current region, associating the current region with a previous region having a previous region attribute, and assigning the previous region attribute to the current region. Another technique includes deriving a previous path attribute and a relation for a previous path, editing the drawing to define a current set of paths having current regions, and assigning the previous path attribute to at least one current region based on the relation of the previous path.
