<p>An information processing apparatus provided with an auxiliary memory device (40) for storing type skeletal shape information (42a) indicating skeletal shapes of characters, including symbols and pictorial symbols, and element shape information (42b) indicating an outline shape and a skeletal shape of each of constituent elements constituting the characters in advance, and a pattern generator (41) for generating a pattern by changing the element shape information according to the type skeletal shape information, drawing the constituent elements according to a predetermined design corresponding to the changed element shape information, and combining the constituent elements thus drawn. This information processing apparatus is capable of easily generating high-quality patterns, which are colored in various ways according to typeface, by reducing the number of data producing steps and data volume necessary for generating patterns by putting a plurality of colors into each stroke of characters including symbols and pictorial symbols. <IMAGE></p> |
