Verfahren und Vorrichtung zur Erzeugung eines überlappenden Bildgebietes

摘要

An overlapping image area is generated on a boundary between a linework image and a picture image by processing one-page linework data and one-page picture data previously prepared without the overlapping process. The overlapping process includes an outer mode and inner mode. In the outer mode, the linework data is corrected such that an overlapping image area is produced in an effective linework area of the one-page linework image, and the picture data is corrected such that an effective picture area is expanded in the one-page picture image. The corrected picture data and corrected linework data are then combined with each other to form a final composite image.
