Outline System Abbreviations Glossary

Because Unity places strict limitations on the full lenght of the file paths of packages uploaded to the Asset Store (139 characters is not a lot when organizing a large collection) most long words of the filenames and folders are abbreviated. To convey as much meaning as possible directly in the names of the shader and material files the abbreviations below are used troughout the Outline System:

Msk  = 🎭Mask  
Cmp  = 🖼️Composite  
Sil  = ⭕Silhouette  
Cntr = 🌐Contour
FS   = 🎦Full-Screen
Edge = 🕵️Edge-Detection
DT   = 🤿Depth Tested
JFA  = 🌊Jump Flood Algorithm  
DF   = 💓Distance Field  
SDF  = 💗Signed Distance Field

Outline System Emoji Symbols Glossary

To meanings or 'values' of the Emoji symbols in the context of the Outline System are described below. (Some of the symbols are only used internally in the runtime scripts and shaders):

🔳 = Outline = OutlineSystem = Outline3D MonoBehaviour component = OutlineThickness

🌠 = 'Star with thick line in space' = _OutlineThicknessSpace
🖌️ = Brush = Applies paint to canvas = Applier = Outline3DTeamColorApplier
🎨 = Palette = Color Palette = Colors = OutlineColor = Outline3DTeamColorRegistry
🐦‍🔥 = Phoenix = Probably meant "griffin" in Greek (Wikipedia) = Hybrid
🫧 = Soap Bubble = Zeepbel(Dutch) = Sobel Kernel
✂️ = Scissors = Schaar(Dutch) = Scharr Kernel
🧽 = 'Wipe clean' = Clear
✏️ = Draw = Sketch
✨ = 'Sparkle into existence' = Instantiate = Create
🏒 = Hockey Stick = 'Sticky' is old word for joint = Joint = Ricky = Canada = 'Pass the joint' = Pass = Render Pass
📞 = Calling = Events
🗝️ = Key = Keyword  
🔗 = Link = Reference = Required Reference
↪️ = 'Add to bottom of list' = Enqueue
⛺ = 'Setup Tent' = Setup

🔬 = 'Looking at a sample' = Sampler State
🔴 = Point = Record = 'Zen: Everything is a point'
👞 = Shoe = Just a shoe (for now)

Other Abbreviations Glossary

Other image processing and edge detection abbreviations used troughout the system:

NPR = Non-Photorealistic Rendering (Basically every style of rendering that doesn't try to be photorealistic but is more stylized or cartoony. Games like Borderlands and Jet Set Radio Future are commonly used as examples of NPR style games.)

ULP = Unit in the last place (From WikiPedia : In computer science and numerical analysis, unit in the last place or unit of least precision (ulp) is the spacing between two consecutive floating-point numbers, i.e., the value the least significant digit (rightmost digit) represents if it is 1. It is used as a measure of accuracy in numeric calculations.)
