Apparatus, method and computer program product for drawing image on thermal medium

摘要

An apparatus for drawing an image on a thermal medium includes a stroke group generating unit configured to group continuous strokes forming the image of a desired character to be drawn to generate one or more stroke groups of the continuous strokes, a first overlapped part removing unit configured to detect a first overlapped part between a first combination of the strokes associated with the same stroke group to remove the first overlapped part in an arranged order of the strokes within the same stroke group, and a second overlapped part removing unit configured to detect a second overlapped part between a second combination of the strokes associated with plural of the stroke groups to remove the second overlapped part from the stroke groups.

1. An apparatus for drawing an image on a thermal medium, the apparatus comprising:
a stroke group generating unit configured to group continuous strokes forming the image of a desired character to be drawn to generate one or more stroke groups of the continuous strokes, each stroke within each stroke group having at least one endpoint in common with at least one other stroke in the respective stroke group; a first overlapped part removing unit configured to detect a first overlapped part between a first combination of the strokes associated with the same stroke group to remove the first overlapped part in an arranged order of the strokes within the same stroke group; and a second overlapped part removing unit configured to detect a second overlapped part between a second combination of the strokes associated with plural of the stroke groups to remove the second overlapped part from the stroke groups.
