Abstract
Paper fiber structure data simulating the paper fiber structure required for drawing a bled figure, and a method and apparatus for drawing, based upon the paper fiber structure data, a bled figure which gives an impression as if the figure were actually drawn on a paper sheet with ink. Specifically, the paper fiber structure is modelled to form paper fiber structure data set for correspondence with respective pixels in a figure. The ink flow through the paper fiber interstices is modelled for forming picture data representing a bled figure based upon the paper fiber structure data. Based on the picture data, the picture of the bled figure is displayed on a display device.
