Abstract
Symmetry axis digital content generation techniques and systems are described that support diverse types of art included in the digital content and may do so in real time as part of creating and editing symmetry art. A symmetry art generation system determines a portion of the source object, defined as encompassed by a path, that is to be reflected to generate the reflected object. As a result, the symmetry art generation system involves a reduced number of low-cost computations in order to calculate the path. The path also defines a minimized area defining a relevant portion of the source object to be reflected and thus reduces computational resource consumption by a computing device that implements these techniques and works for a wide range of art types.
