IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, PRINTING APPARATUS, DISPLAY APPARATUS, PLOTTING PROCESSING METHOD, AND PROGRAM

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To process PDL data in parallel on a language level step. SOLUTION: In an image forming apparatus provided with a plurality of image processing processors 102 to 104 capable of performing parallel plotting processing, a plotting instruction division part 101 judges whether a plurality of plotting objects to be plotted by inputted plotting data intersect with each other or not, collects the plurality of plotting objects whose intersection is judged as one object group and sets one plotting object judged as no intersection with other plotting objects as one group. Plotting instructions related to respective grouped object groups are respectively allocated to respective image processing processors 102 to 104 in each object group to execute corresponding plotting processing in parallel.
