Procedurally expressing graphic objects for web pages
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method of drawing an arbitrary graphics object in a web page, the method comprising:
- accessing, by a web browser, a file including coded markup language that specifies a drawing space as an extent within the web page and coded procedural language that specifies a drawing command to draw the arbitrary graphics object in the drawing space in the web page;
creating the drawing space within the web page using the coded markup language; and
drawing, by the web browser, the arbitrary graphics object into the drawing space within the web page using the coded procedural language.

Abstract
A graphics object can be expressed using procedural language embedded in a markup language document. In a embodiment, a drawing space is specified in markup language. A drawing command to arbitrarily draw a graphics object into the drawing space is specified in procedural language. Interpretation of the markup and procedural language commands results in the rendering of the arbitrary graphics object. In another embodiment, there is a browser comprising a rendering engine, an interpreter, and parser. The rendering engine is configured to interpret a markup language instruction that specifies a drawing space as well as drawing commands in procedural language for drawing an arbitrary graphic object into the drawing space. The parser can then parse the drawing commands and convert them into an execution tree of tree objects.

28. A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable storage medium and computer program instructions encoded on the storage medium for drawing an arbitrary graphics object in a web page, the computer program instructions when executed by a processor perform the steps of:
-
accessing, by a web browser, a file including markup language that specifies a drawing space as an extent within the web page and coded procedural language that specifies a drawing command to draw the arbitrary graphics object in the drawing space in the web page; creating the drawing space within the web page using the coded markup language; and drawing, by the web browser, the arbitrary graphics object into the drawing space within the web page using the coded procedural language. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33)

34. A system for drawing an arbitrary graphics object in a web page, the system comprising:
-
a processor; and a computer-readable storage medium comprising computer program instructions, the instructions when executed by the processor are configured to; access, by a web browser, a file including coded markup language that specifies a drawing spaces as an extent within the web page and coded procedural language that specifies a drawing command to draw the arbitrary graphics object in the drawing space in the web page; create the drawing space within the web page using coded markup language; and drawing, by the web browser, the arbitrary graphics object into the drawing space within the web page using the coded procedural language. - View Dependent Claims (35)
