Image processing apparatus, image processing method, and computer readable medium with parallel rendering

Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a rendering processor that renders a plurality of objects on a page in a parallel process, an overlap determiner that determines a plurality of objects overlapping each other in accordance with coordinate information of each object on the page and acquires coordinate information of an overlap area between the objects, a timing controller that controls a timing of the rendering of each object in the parallel process of the rendering processor in accordance with the coordinate information of the overlap area, and a renderer that renders a lower-layer object in the overlap area in accordance with timing information generated by the timing controller prior to rendering an upper-layer object on the lower-layer object in a superimpose fashion.
