Vector graphics are an industry-standard way to represent and share visual designs. Designers frequently source and incorporate styles from existing designs into their own work. Unfortunately, popular design tools aren't well suited for this task. We present VST, Vector Style Transfer, a novel design tool for flexibly transferring visual styles between vector graphics. The core of VST lies in leveraging automation while respecting designers' tastes and the subjectivity inherent to style transfer. In VST, designers tune a cross-design element correspondence and customize which style attributes to change. We report results from a user study in which designers used VST to control style transfer between several designs, including designs participants created with external tools beforehand. VST shows that enabling design correspondence tuning and customization is one way to support interactive, flexible style transfer. We also find that someone using VST can significantly reduce the time and work for style transfer compared to experienced designers using industry-standard tools.

翻译：矢量图形是行业中表示和共享视觉设计的标准方式。设计师经常从现有设计中获取并融入风格到自己的作品中。然而，主流设计工具并不擅长此任务。我们提出VST（矢量风格迁移），一种新颖的设计工具，用于在矢量图形之间灵活转移视觉风格。VST的核心在于在利用自动化的同时尊重设计师的品味和风格迁移固有的主观性。在VST中，设计师可以调整跨设计元素的对应关系，并自定义需要更改的风格属性。我们报告了一项用户研究的结果，设计师使用VST来控制多个设计之间的风格迁移，包括参与者事先用外部工具创建的设计。VST表明，启用设计对应关系调整和自定义是支持交互式、灵活风格迁移的一种方式。我们还发现，与使用行业标准工具的经验丰富的设计师相比，使用VST的人可以显著减少风格迁移所需的时间和工作量。
