ABSTRACT:
A dot pattern data generating device including a character generator constructed to be readable by character code data for storing data representing a character pattern in the form of a matrix according to existence or non-existence of dots in the matrix. The device includes a region readout circuit for reading a local pattern of the matrix with one dot location from the matrix read from the character generator being centered in the matrix portion. An arithmetic circuit is also included for computing horizontal and vertical values from the local pattern. A pattern generating circuit generates a plurality of dots with respect to one dot of the original pattern on the basis of the horizontal and vertical values to generate an enlarged pattern. The enlarged character pattern is generated at a high speed without enlarging stepped portions of the oblique lines simulating smooth portions by generating enlargement dots corresponding thereto.
