Abstract
Compressed data having as rendering commands region designation data that designates a region of an image, and a parameter for designating image quality of that region is input, and the input compressed data is expanded by an expansion module. A first rendering module develops first bitmap data based on the input rendering commands, and stores it in a BM1 memory. A second rendering module generates attribute information corresponding to respective pixels of the first bitmap data on the basis of attribute information of intermediate data. A conversion module can switch the conversion process by switching parameters in accordance with the attribute information upon converting the first bitmap data into second bitmap data.
