Abstract

Method, systems, and apparatus, including computer program products, for selective transformation of overlapping image objects. One method includes identifying, in a computer graphics illustration, an overlapping region formed by a region of an overlapping image object having transparency positioned over a region of an overlapped image object, wherein the overlapping image object and the overlapped image object are resolution independent image objects, combining the region of the overlapping image object and the region of the overlapped image object to form a transformed region that is resolution independent, and storing the transformed region and other regions of the computer graphics illustration, which other regions are not combined to form the transformed region to provide for further processing.
