PURPOSE:To easily adjust the line width with a high precision without requiring the change of hardware like the change of a beam diameter. CONSTITUTION:An address generation part no performs pattern matching based on various pattern conditions with respect to the dot pattern around a noticed picture element out or picture data or a reference area stored in a shift register 5. When the dot pattern meets a pattern condition having a step part at this time, smoothing processing is performed; and when it meets a pattern condition of a line, line width adjustment processing is performed. Thus, the line width is easily adjusted with a high precision without requiring the change of hardware like the change of the beam diameter. |
