    Abstract:Vector graphics includes both filled and stroked paths
    as the main primitives. While there are many techniques for
    rendering filled paths on GPU, stroked paths have proved more
    elusive. This paper presents a technique for performing stroke
    expansion, namely the generation of the outline representing the
    stroke of the given input path. Stroke expansion is a global
    problem, with challenging constraints on continuity and
    correctness. Nonetheless, we implement it using a fully parallel
    algorithm suitable for execution in a GPU compute shader, with
    minimal preprocessing. The output of our method can be either
    line or circular arc segments, both of which are well suited to
    GPU rendering, and the number of segments is minimal. We
    introduce several novel techniques, including an encoding of
    vector graphics primitives suitable for parallel processing, and
    an Euler spiral based method for computing approximations to
    parallel curves and evolutes.
