An image composing and displaying apparatus includes frame memory constituent elements of an identical structure, a video input portion, a video output portion, a controller for selecting connection of each element to the video input or output portion, and an image drawing portion for reading and writing video data from and in the memory elements. The memory elements can be used for the input and output operations and hence the size thereof can be easily expanded; moreover, the numbers of the elements respectively connected to the video input and output portion can be adaptively varied.

A graphic processor which controls reading, writing and transfer of graphic data for a display memory that stores graphic data. The processor includes a first unit which stores first address information for addressing the display memory and first pixel address information which points a pixel position in a word specified by the first address information, a second unit which stores second address information for addressing the display memory and second pixel address information which points a pixel position in a word specified by the second address information, a third unit which shifts graphic data of multiple pixels included in two consecutive words to extract continuous 1-word graphic data, and a fourth unit which implements drawing computations pixel-wise concurrently for one word depending on the number of pixels included in a word. Even if transfer source graphic data lies across two consecutive words, the processor fetches the source data in single reading, processes the data word-wise at once, and stores the result in the display memory.

A graphic processing system including a main memory for storing a program and information corresponding to pixels, a main processor for effecting an execution processing of a program transferred from the main memory or from an external device so as to control the system, display/output devices such as a CRT device and a printer for outputting graphic information attained by controlling pixels arranged in a plurality of dimensions, a frame buffer for storing information corresponding to pixels outputted to the display/output devices, and a graphic processor for receiving a command and parameter information transferred from the main memory and/or the main processor, for generating character and graphic data in accordance with a predetermined processing procedure and for performing a transfer control including an execution of a drawing processing to transfer generated data through first and second address buses and first and second data buses to the main memory and/or the frame buffer, respectively. The system also includes bus connection switch circuit to be controlled by the graphic processor to effect a connection control between the first and second address buses and between the first and second data buses so as to enable execution of a drawing processing in the main memory connected to a bus on the main processor side and a data transfer between the main memory and the frame buffer.
摘要:
A graphic processing system has a processor for managing a display area and a character font area both included within an address space. From coded information indicative of a character transferred through a data bus of the system, the processor generates an address at which a character font pattern of the corresponding character has been stored and transfers that character font pattern to a predetermined position on the display area. The graphic processing system realizes high speed development of fonts.

Herein disclosed is a graphic processing apparatus which uses a CRT of raster scanning type. The graphic processing apparatus has functions to compare and judge whether or not within the range of a predetermined region thereby to effect the drawing operation, to compare drawing picture element data and other data in the drawing operation thereby to arithmetically control the drawing picture element data in accordance with the compared result, and to drawing a pattern of an arbitrary size on the basis of a fundamental unit of line and design patterns in the drawing operation.

In an image displaying field where there is a tendency which will increase the data to be handled in accordance with the high integration of a display device, a CRT controller according to the present invention improves the superposed display and the responsiveness of the display and drawing operations by dividing a unit clock into a predetermined number to function with high speed and a multifunction display. When image data are to be inputted to or outputted from a refresh memory corresponding to a display frame, the memory content and the display address are assigned at a ratio of 1:n to effect the processings in parallel. As a result, the time period utilized by the display cycle of the prior art can be assigned to the drawing operation so that the processing can be speeded up while making it easier than the prior art to effect the superposed display of letters, symbols and drawings. The resultant effect is that it is unnecessary to increase the number of refresh memories corresponding to the displayed frame and that the external parts can be simplified to contribute to the improvement in the reliability.
摘要:
A microprogram control system in which the processing speed of a microprogram is increased and the capacity of the microprogram memory is reduced. The decoder previously provided in microprogram control systems to decode the contents of the instruction register are omitted to attain an increased processing speed and the instruction decoding function is integrated into the microprogram memory to attain a general purpose control system. The microprogram memory is divided into pages each consisting of a plurality of words, so that an arbitrary page can be designated as an instruction decode area under the control of the microprogram. Error checking in the system is facilitated by providing a check function for readout error, and a short word memory device is used to reduce the memory capacity of the microprogram memory.
