Abstract
A method of generating a markup language document containing image slices in a computer graphics program running on a computer in which a portion of an original image from a computer-readable graphics document is identified as background from information stored in the graphics document. An image portion boundary is automatically computed for each non-background portion of the original image from information stored in the graphics document, and one or more image slice boundaries are computed from any overlapping image portion boundaries. An image slice and an image slice file are generated corresponding to the portion of the original image inside each image slice boundary. A markup language document is generated containing references to the image slice files.
