Abstract
The second graphic data for display is obtained by performing reduction processing using over-sampling on the first graphic data corresponding to the image generated by performing texture mapping processing based on polygon data, thereby the resolution of an image comprising the first graphic data is enhanced maintaining the memory capacity minimized, thus the display resolution of the second graphic data is enhanced. Further, each pixel of an component of the second graphic data is the average value of adjacent four pixels in the first graphic data, hence, for example, a 16 bit direct color image is equivalent to a 24-bit full color image.
