Texture mapping is performed on polygons at the same speed as a polygon drafting process without a texture cache, thereby reducing complexity without an increase in cost. An image memory is constituted in a double-buffer structure, and an address line, a data line and a memory control line are individually connected to each buffer. One of the two buffers is used for texture data, and the other for a drawing result. The texture data is one-dimensional, and the size thereof is less than a maximum value of a column address. The other buffer is an imaginary double buffer with two buffers, one of the buffers being used for reading out image data from a SAM port, the other being used for writing image data produced from polygons. Read/write switching is effected in a vertical flyback period. In the read-out buffer, just after row-directional read-out, the associated row is cleared by the flash write function of a multiport DRAM in a horizontal flyback period, and the next read-out address is output. In synchronism with this, texture data is refreshed.
