Abstract

The objective of metafile compositing is to retrieve multi-layered Windows Metafile command records from a picture file and translate them into a set of closed contours in a single layer that delineates a set of contiguous non-overlapping regions. Such processing is useful for a variety of engineering applications including vector graphic compression and optimization which is discussed here. Primary concerns here are the multitude of degeneracies that exist when implementing a geometric algorithm of this nature. These issues are left largely unaddressed in previous literature but can be of substantial importance when attempting to develop a robust implementation.
