Abstract
In this paper we present a system that allows to build synthetic graphical documents for the performance evaluation of symbol recognition systems. The key contribution of this work is the building of whole documents like drawings or maps. We exploit the layer property of graphical documents by positioning symbol sets in different ways from a same background using positioning constraints. Experiments are presented to build two kinds of test document databases : bags of symbol and architectural drawings.
