<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a color image forming apparatus which generates neither moire nor uneven coloring even if hatching lines are displayed to be superimposed on an image including a color, the image has a line structure, or the image does not have a line structure but has directivity just like a screen subjected to dither processing. <P>SOLUTION: When analyzing image data of a print object to extract a region including an image of a predetermined color, and then forming hatching with superimposing on the extracted region, the apparatus analyzes the dot structure of the region extracted by a specific color region extraction means, and determines the type and direction of hatching lines to be superimposed on the region according to the analyzed dot structure. The apparatus forms hatching to be superimposed on the color of the region according to the determined direction. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
