ABSTRACT:
A technique for rasterizing a line having a predetermined width and slope, including the step of providing stored data associated with predetermined slopes and widths of lines, such data including information indicative of raster data for portions of lines of the predetermined slopes and widths. The stored data associated with the slope and width of the line to be rasterized is accessed, and raster data for one of predetermined portions of the line to be rasterized is generated from the accessed data, wherein the predetermined portions collectively form the line to be rasterized. The generated raster data is copied to a bitmap memory, and the steps of generating and copying raster data are repeated until the entire line has been rasterized.
