Abstract

Techniques for processing vector objects of vector artwork in a digital media environment are described in which the number of vector objects are adaptively reduced at low zoom levels. In an example, a central processing unit (CPU) of a computing device accesses a set of vector objects that are smaller than the size of a pixel in a vector artwork to be rendered by a GPU of the computing device. The CPU selects a subset of the set of vector objects from within the area of the pixel, such as based on locations of the vector objects within the pixel. The CPU generates an additional vector object based on colors of the subset of vector objects. The CPU then outputs the additional vector object in the vector artwork to the GPU, and the GPU renders the additional vector object in the vector artwork.
