RASTER IMAGE PATH ARCHITECTURE

摘要

A raster image path architecture having the capacity for supporting the rendering and output of a device-independent grayscale raster image, while also offering the capacity for supporting the rendering and output of a device-dependent grayscale raster image, thus offering the advantages o f outputting a device-independent grayscale raster image while preserving the performance and image quality advantages of a conventional binary raster image path architecture.
