摘要:
A dot pattern signal generator comprises an outline memory (1) for storing data representing an outline of a pattern, outline reproducing means (2 to 5) responsive to an external signal for selectively reading out the stored data and for computing pattern outline data on the basis of the read out data, and means (6) for generating from the computed pattern outline data dot pattern data representing the pattern as an arrangement of a plurality of dots. The outline reproducing means include adjustment means (4, 5) for determining from the computed pattern outline data a proximity of adjacent outline segments (P, Q), and for controlling the dot pattern data generating means so as to generate adjusted dot pattern data representing the pattern as the arrangement of the plurality of dots from which respective ones of the dots are selectively omitted.

摘要:
The invention provides a method and apparatus for generating pattern data for a display and/or a printer. Data storage means (1) are provided for storing outline data for a pattern of a standard size and correction data determined with respect to pattern size. Read out means (2) are responsive to received selection data for reading out the outline data from the outline data storage means, and outline arithmetic means (3) are responsive to received size data for computing outline co-ordinates on the basis of the outline data and the correction data. These outline co-ordinates are then converted by dot pattern data generating means (4) into dot pattern data for output.
