Abstract
Disclosed are an image data processing method and apparatus for reading image data out of a memory and processing the image data, in which the memory stores image data representing an image as a collection of a plurality of partial images and from which the image data can be read out upon specifying image data in units of the partial images. If sequence information indicating the display sequence of the plurality of partial images of the image is stored in association with the image, then the partial images can be read out and displayed in accordance with the sequence information. By displaying completed partial images upon appending specific information thereto, it is possible to distinguish partial images whose display has been completed on a screen from partial images whose display has not been completed on the screen.
