Abstract
A selection of a key path of a vector image displayed using a graphical user interface (GUI) may be received, via the GUI. At least one candidate path of the vector image is identified. A pairwise comparison of the key path with the at least one candidate path is executed, the pairwise comparison including characterization of a translation, scaling, and rotation of the at least one candidate path with respect to the key path. Based on the pairwise comparison, it is determined that the at least one candidate path is within a similarity threshold defined with respect to the key path. A visual indicator of the at least one candidate path within the GUI, identifying the at least one candidate path as being within the similarity threshold, may be provided.
