20150022531 | Method for Labeling Segments of Paths as Interior or Exterior - A method for labeling a segment of a two-dimensional input path defined according to a nonzero winding rule as either interior or exterior is described. A winding number is initialized. A scan line that intersects the segment is identified. For each contour of the input path, winding values are accumulated into the winding number for any segments of the contour that cross the identified scan line, where the accumulation for coincident segments that cross the identified scan line at a same location as the segment is postponed. These coincident segments are marked and saved in a list. The labeling of the segment as either interior or exterior is determined from the list and the winding number. | 01-22-2015 |

The image data generating device includes: a first data buffer that retains a first plurality of image data constituent elements contained in an upper text line of two vertically adjacent text lines out of the two or more text lines; a second data buffer that retains a second plurality of image data constituent elements contained in a lower text line of the two vertically adjacent text lines out of the two or more text lines; and a data analysis section that determines whether or not one image data constituent element out of the first plurality of image data constituent elements is present in a lower row of each column contained in the upper text line and whether or not one image data constituent element out of the second plurality of image data constituent elements is present in an upper row of each column contained in the lower text line. The data analysis section decides whether to decrease a spacing between the two vertically adjacent text lines on the basis of the determination result, and determines a decreased width in a case where the spacing is decreased. | 02-19-2015 |
20150097841 | DRAWING APPARATUS, DRAWING METHOD, AND RECORDING MEDIUM - A drawing apparatus that displays a character rendered in an outline method includes a number-of-commands identification unit configured to identify a number of drawing commands required for the character based on outline data that corresponds to a shape of the character, a level determination unit configured to determine a level of an antialiasing process to be performed on the character based on the number of the drawing commands found by the number-of-commands identification unit, and a drawing unit configured to execute the antialiasing process of the level determined for the character by the level determination unit, when the character is drawn based on the outline data of the character. | 04-09-2015 |
20160078655 | Text Realization - In one example, a graphics processing unit may use an optimized geometric realization to render a text shape as a scalable geometry. The graphics processing unit may generate an inner geometry for a text shape. The graphics processing unit also may generate a tessellated edge geometry abutting the inner geometry for an edge of the text shape. The graphics processing unit further may assign a coverage gradient to the tessellated edge geometry to create an anti-aliased edge for the text shape. | 03-17-2016 |

20090091574 | Rendering device, image output device, and program - A rendering device includes: a outline rendering unit that renders outlines of a character on a rendering area, based on outline data of the character; a specifying unit that specifies a data size of a variable which increases/decreases depending on a drawing direction of each of the outlines, when the rendering area where the outlines are rendered is scanned along predetermined scan lines; a variable storage unit that scans the rendering area where the outlines are rendered, for each of the scan lines, and stores the variable of the data size specified by the specifying unit, for each of pixels existing on the each of the scan lines; and a paint unit that specifies areas inside the outlines on the rendering area, based on the variable stored by the variable storage unit, and arranges pixels of a rendering color in the specified areas. | 04-09-2009 |
20100053171 | METHOD FOR GENERATING STROKE-BASED FONT CHARACTERS FOR A LOW-RESOLUTION DISPLAY - A method and computer graphical user interface tool for generating and/or modifying character font data to be suitable for low-resolution display are provided. The method generally includes four steps. First, a set of characters to be displayed on a low-resolution display is received. Each character is formed with one or more strokes/glyphs, and all of the strokes/glyphs are represented by a set of basic strokes/glyphs, wherein each basic stroke/glyph is defined by key points and width values. Second, the received set of characters is projected on a low-resolution pixel matrix screen having two-dimensional coordinates and corresponding to the low-resolution display. Third, each stroke/glyph forming the set of characters is redefined, with key points and/or width values of the stroke/glyph are adjusted according to predefined rules, to thereby form a redefined set of characters. Fourth, the redefined set of characters are rendered according to predefined rendering criteria. | 03-04-2010 |
20100123721 | IMAGE DEVICE AND DATA PROCESSING SYSTEM - An image device and a data processing system. In order to process subpixel rendered RGB data such as Clear Type™ font data to be processed and put correctly on a non-RGB stripe image device such as a 2×2 matrix RGBW quad pixel image device, a matching 2×2 quad pixel image device is selected to cope with the corresponding input data triplet from the subpixel rendered RGB input data string. Since the blue dot carries the least luminance information in a white balance, Green/Blue/Red (GBR) triplet from the subpixel rendered input RGB data string is selected to match with a 2×2 matrix quadpixel image device where G and R dots of the 2×2 quad pixel have the maximum overlapping area with the corresponding G and R dots from the GBR stripe pixel data. | 05-20-2010 |
20110216073 | ADAPTIVE AND DYNAMIC TEXT FILTERING - A device sensor determines an external state of a device. Text to be displayed on a display screen of the device is dynamically filtered based on the external state of the device. | 09-08-2011 |
20120320065 | RENDERING STROKE PAIRS FOR GRAPHICAL OBJECTS - The principles of the present invention relate to rendering stroke pairs. A graphical object includes at least a first stroke and a second similarly oriented second stroke collectively representing a stroke pair. A calculated distance between the first stroke and the second stroke is constrained (e.g., to a center line between the strokes) to mitigate the possibility of rounding errors causing the represented stroke pair to be inappropriately rendered. After the stroke pair is constrained, controls points of the individual strokes can be adjusted so that the individual strokes are appropriately rendered at their respective constrained locations. The adjusted stroke pair is constrained between external reference points for appropriate rendering relative to other graphical objects. The graphical object, including the adjusted constrained stroke pair, is rendered at an output device. | 12-20-2012 |
