A tracing method in which tracing is performed by moving a spatial optical modulation device in a predetermined scanning direction relative to a tracing surface is provided. The spatial optical modulation device includes multitudes of tracing elements for modulating inputted light according to control signals transferred in accordance with tracing information. The method allows the spatial optical modulation device to perform the modulation rapidly to reduce the tracing time. The special modulation device is divided into a plurality of blocks A to D, and the control signals for each of the blocks A to D are transferred to the blocks in parallel. |
