Method and apparatus for rotation of high addressability bitmap images

摘要

Described herein is a method and apparatus for consistently rotating high addressability bitmap images to be rendered on a printing system. A first step encodes the high addressability image to produce a regular bitmap array and then rotates the regular array. A compact dot growth operation is applied to assure that exposure pulses for any gray pixels are consistently positioned to provide a consistent output which is independent of the rotation direction. <IMAGE>
