Abstract
The 2D/3D converting unit converts two-dimensional (2D) polygon data to three-dimensional (3D) polygon data by substituting an X-coordinate value of the 2D polygon data for an X-coordinate value of the 3D polygon data, a Y-coordinate value of the 2D polygon data for a Z-coordinate value of the 3D polygon data, and a prescribed value for a Y-coordinate value of the 3D polygon data. The drawing unit draws three-dimensional graphics according to the 3D polygon data generated by the 2D/3D converting unit. Since the 2D/3D converting unit generates the 3D polygon data from the 2D polygon data solely by simple substitutions of the coordinate values, complicated operations are unnecessary for generation of the 3D polygon data. Thus, the three-dimensional graphics drawing apparatus is able to draw the three-dimensional graphics at high speed.
