Abstract
Graphical constructs are efficiently described by integer-based identifiers, and graphical constructs of the same type are stored in a definitional component. Each client maintains both a pending state representation and a synchronized state representation of the graphical design to independently track the state of the representation at a live editing server. The use of integer-based identifiers for graphical constructs provides an efficient change representation that can be communicated with minimal network traffic. All copies of the graphical design represented among clients reach a consistent state quickly even when multiple users are making changes to the same vector path, eliminating the need to track changes manually or to move large files.
