ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for preparing and printing pen-stroke image information on a raster-type output device. The image is first vectorized, then given one of a number of slope classifications. For vertical vectors and vectors within a predetermined angle of the vertical, only every n'th dot on the vector is printed. For vectors in the next slope class closer to the horizontal, every (n/2)'th dot is printed. For vectors in the next slope class closer to the horizontal, dots nk, nk+m.sub.2, and nk+m.sub.1 are printed, where k is any integer, m.sub.2 is n/4, and m.sub.1 is n/2. For dots in the next slope class closer to the horizontal, every (n/4)'th dot is printed. A novel vector endpoint modification scheme, novel redundant dot removal schemes, and a novel adaptive print speed control are also disclosed.
