ABSTRACT:
Transition-encoded information for a single scan line of a font image consists of flags at the addresses of all points of transition upon the scan line from black to white, and from white to black, in order to generate one scan line of the font image. This information is produced, scan line by scan line, in a system receiving the vertical position, the horizontal position, and a starting address within a font memory whereat a run-length-encoded description of a particular character font is stored. This information is developed by adding, in an adder, the initial horizontal displacement plus, in a cumulative fashion, the run-length-encoded font information for each character which appears, in some portion, upon an individual scan line. The transition-encoded information is used to control pixel by pixel image generation in an image generator equivalently to full bit-mapped control but with lower cost, higher speed of conversion, and greater flexibility in the images generated.
