Abstract
A data transmission system discriminates, for each one of a plurality of pieces of data representing an image provided in a frame, whether the one piece of data is a first type of data, which is to be developed into bit map data in a bit map area corresponding to the frame, or a second type of data, which is not to be developed into bit map data. The first type of data is developed into bit map data in the bit map area in response to the discrimination. Layout information of the second type of data in the frame is generated such that variation or rotation of the developed bit map data can be directed in the layout information. The developed bit map data, the generated layout information, and the second type of data are transmitted separately to an external apparatus.
