1. A method for converting graphic object data that defines a graphic object, comprising steps of:

  • (a) converting the graphic object data from a path format to a second format, the path format including path elements that are each associated with a fill style and define one or more polygon shapes at least partially filled with the associated fill style, the path elements collectively defining the graphic object, the conversion including;

    (i) redefining the polygon shapes defined by the path elements as groups of triangles; and

    (ii) combining at least some of triangles in the groups of triangles into further polygon shapes that fall within predetermined complexity thresholds.
