Abstract
An image data processing system operates so that foreground color codes are held in a foreground register, background color codes are held in a background register, and the foreground or background color codes are selectively output by a selector according to the patterns of the pattern data or character fonts to be extended to color codes. Accordingly the pattern data or character font patterns can be extended quickly to the foreground or background color codes. Also, to extend the same pattern data repetitively and quickly to the foreground or background color codes, a rotator or selector is used to enable the pattern data to be used repetitively, and according to the output value thereof the foreground or background register is selected.
