A method for producing a frame for a graphic object whose contour is defined by a sequence of Bezier curves is disclosed. To that end, a frame curve that is likewise a Bezier curve and that proceeds approximately parallel to the given Bezier curve is likewise produced for each Bezier curve of the contour. A mid-point PM is formed on the given Bezier curve. Proceeding therefrom at the spacing of the frame width, a mid-point QM for the frame curve to be produced is defined. The checkpoints of the frame curve are defined such that they proceed through the point QM.
