Abstract
A method of processing a figure and a recorded medium are used to obtain an enlarged figure or a reduced figure by moving the sides of a polygon, which is composed by putting a plurality of horizontal trapezoids upon each other, each of the trapezoids having upper and lower sides parallel to the X-axis, in the direction of the Y-axis to the outside or inside of the polygon in parallel with each other. The method comprises the steps of: selecting an objective horizontal trapezoid, extracting first, second and third groups of segments regarding the objective, lower and upper horizontal trapezoids, creating new first, second and third groups of segments moved to outside or inside of the polygon, removing unnecessary groups of segments, sorting the contact point and the division point, drawing parallel lines parallel to X-axis from the contact and division points, and storing the contact and division points included in the parallel line.
