<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of efficiently using a memory which draws an image. <P>SOLUTION: When acquiring a drawing command with respect to a graphics drawing section during drawing a photograph image by a photograph image drawing section, a command analysis section checks a drawing area of a graphics image, and determines whether or not a photograph image is being drawn. If the photograph image is not being drawn, a parameter is set in the graphics drawing section to activate the graphics drawing section. On the other hand, if the photograph image is being drawn, it is determined whether or not a drawing area of the photograph image and the drawing area of the graphics image are superimposed with each other. When both of the drawing areas are not superimposed with each other, the command analysis section sets the parameter in the graphics drawing section to activate the graphics drawing section. When both of the drawing areas are superimposed with each other, the command analysis section waits until drawing of the photograph image is finished, and sets the parameter in the graphics drawing section to activate the graphics drawing section. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
