Abstract
Provision is made for search digital synthetic graphics data (e.g., displayed single page scenes, multi-page files or multi-file databases) to find graphical patterns which match a user specified graphical search pattern. Furthermore, there is support (i) for performing pre-recorded macro operations on all or some of the matches that are found, or (ii) for substituted user-specified replacements for some or all of the geometric characteristics and graphical properties of the pattern matches that are found.
