description Diffusion curves image (DCI) is a kind of vector graphics with its geometric primitives defined by a set of Bézier curves. As one of the vector graphics, editability is an important property for diffusion curves. However, most of the current DCI shape manipulation methods are typically limited to single curve. It is tedious for users to edit the shape of DCI by deforming each curve individually, especially with the increasing number of curves. In addition, the image contents cannot well preserved because there is no constraints among curves. We present an efficient and flexible DCI manipulation method by combining global and local deformations. The overall shape is easily changed by our global manipulation tool with a few user interactions, while the local manipulation tool is used to modify details. These two tools can be combined to obtain desired effects. In both cases, the constraints during deformation preserve the quality of the editing results. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method provides more convenient control for DCI shape editing than existing techniques based on diffusion curves.
