Abstract
A graphic processing system for accomplishing high-speed processing of data conversion processing by effectively utilizing file information of input graphic data to improve processing efficiency of data processing inside blocks, and by optimizing block division. This system includes a processing portion for dividing input graphic data in a block unit and executing conversion processing of the graphic data to mask production data, and a storage portion having an optimization condition file for storing the input data information, optimization information of the graphic data to be divided by the processing portion, processing result information, etc, capable of updating and registering the optimization information, and comprises the steps of executing graphic processing by utilizing file data when graphic data existing inside the block is approximate to the graphic data information registered to the optimization condition file; scanning the graphic data inside the block so as to judge whether or not the quantity of the graphic data inside the block exceeds a memory capacity in the processing portion for executing the conversion processing, and to judge the density and the property of the graphic data when the graphic data is not approximate to the graphic data information; and dividing the graphic data into optimum blocks so that the data quantity becomes the quantity that can be processed by the processing portion; and storing the divided information, the input graphic data information and the processing result information.
