Abstract
Methods and computer programs for processing a computer graphics illustration having overlapping pieces of artwork. The method includes flattening at least some of the pieces of artwork into non-overlapping regions, storing information describing how the appearances of one or more pieces of artwork can be combined to determine an appearance for at least one of the non-overlapping regions, determining an appearance for at least one of the non-overlapping regions based on the stored information, and outputting the determined appearance.
