Abstract
The fill processing time for filling a closed figure identified by one stroke is reduced. The difference between the total number of line segments in the plus Y axis direction and that in the minus Y direction intersecting a line perpendicular to a specific first direction is counted when a figure identified by one stroke is scanned in the X axis direction. Pixel positions in a range in which the counting result is not '0' are filled.
