Abstract

In order to clip a figure using a predetermined frame, coordinate values of cross points defined by a line segment representing a figure to be clipped and each side of the clipping frame or each extension line thereof are detected. A positional relationship between the line segment and the clipping frame, and the presence/absence of the cross points on the clipping frame are obtained, respectively. By utilizing the above information, a new boundary line which does not exist in a figure before clipping can be extracted. Since the detection of cross point coordinates and the extraction of boundaries are independently processed, high-speed processing can be realized.
