Abstract

A method and system for editing a figure is provided. The method performs the steps of storing a representation of the figure in digital format in a storage medium, separating the representation of the figure into a general sweep feature and a detail feature, and editing at least one of the general sweep feature and/or the detail feature to produce a processed general sweep feature and a processed detail feature. The processed general sweep feature and the processed detail feature are then combined into an edited representation of the figure, which is output from the storage medium.
