Abstract
Clipping individual rows or columns of pels from patterns stored as pels is accomplished by passing quads of pels through a clipper before rotation is effected. Integral numbers of quads are clipped by skipping their address when reading from the pattern store or inhibiting their transfer. This permits more detailed pages to be composed for printing.
