Abstract
A CPU sequentially reads bit data on a figure stored in a character-to-be-converted area. When the last read bit data is '0' and the current read bit data is '1', the CPU saves into a character saving area that character data of character string data stored in a character processing area and pointed out by a pointer, then arranges the character data pointed out by the pointer in a corresponding position in a three-dimensional image creation area, and updates the pointer. When the last read bit data is '1' and the current read bit data is '0', the CPU inserts the character data saved in the character saving area at a position pointed out by the pointer in the character processing area, arranges the character data at a corresponding position in the three-dimensional image creation area, and updates the pointer. When the last read bit data is equal to the current read bit data, the CPU arranges the character data pointed out by the pointer in the character processing area in the three-dimensional image creation area, and updates the pointer. In this way, the CPU arranges the character string data stored in the character processing area in the three-dimensional image creating area to create three-dimensional data on the figure stored in the character-to-be-converted area and to be converted and prints the created three-dimensional data on recording paper with a printer.
