Display processing apparatus, display processing system, display processing method, and computer program

摘要

A display processing apparatus perform display processing of a preview image showing a result of image formation of document data in an image forming apparatus. The document data includes color plane image data and transparent plane image data. The color plane image data includes a plurality of drawing areas and indicates an area for which use of a color developer in the image forming apparatus is specified. The transparent plane image data indicates an area for which use of a transparent developer in the image forming apparatus is specified together with a type of transparent processing performed on the area by using the transparent developer in units of the drawing areas. The display processing apparatus includes a transparent display data generating unit, a preview image generating unit, and a display control unit. The transparent display data generating unit generates, based on the document data, a plurality of pieces of transparent display data that show a result of image formation corresponding to the transparent processing performed with the transparent developer on the drawing areas on which the same transparent processing is performed for each type of the transparent processing. The preview image generating unit arranges a color display plane on which the color plane image data is displayed at a predetermined position of the color display plane in the preview image and arranges in a superimposed manner a plurality of transparent display planes on which the pieces of transparent display data are displayed at a plurality of positions of the transparent display planes that are determined based on the position of the color display plane in accordance with a predetermined rule and that are different from one another, so as to generate the preview image obtained by projecting the color display plane and the transparent display planes that are arranged in a three-dimensional space onto a two-dimensional plane. The display control unit displays the preview image on a display screen.
