Abstract
An image processing method converts line vectors of an input graphic path and an input clip path into run sets in dot coordinates passed by the line vectors, and generates a region run describing a closed region represented by the entire path from the run sets, so as to obtain a graphic region run and a clip region run, and extracts an overlapping portion of the graphic region run and the clip region run to generate a plot region run. The scan line conversion and the clipping form a rasterizing process.
