Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for pixel-based techniques for combining vector graphics shapes. In particular, in one or more embodiments, the disclosed systems and methods comprise receiving a selection of a plurality of vector graphics shapes to be combined based on an operation type, identifying a dominant shape based on the operation type, applying stroke and fill properties associated with the dominant shape to each of the plurality of vector graphics shapes, initializing a buffer at least as large as a bounding box associated with the plurality of vector graphics shapes, the buffer storing pixels inside the bounding box, and populating each pixel of the buffer with values representing pixel types determined from the plurality of vector graphics shapes based on the operation type.
