Abstract
A drawing processing apparatus has a drawing data input section 2 for receiving the drawing data to be drawn. A drawing data determination section 3 determines the drawing data type from the drawing data input to the drawing data input section 2 and passes the drawing data having an outline shape to a vector generation section 4 and a drawing attribute processing section 5 and the drawing data having no outline shape to the drawing attribute processing section 5 according to the drawing data type. The vector generation section 4 prepares a vector representing an outline shape from the drawing data received from the drawing data determination section 3. The drawing attribute processing section 5 gets different drawing attributes for each drawing data type from the drawing data passed from the drawing data determination section 3 and performs processing as required.
