Appeal No. 1998-0414
Application 08/202,422
classifies graphic data into groups according to the
attributes of the graphic data and stores the groups into
memory. When a display request is issued, the graphic data
are output into a display device, one group at a time, thereby
reducing the amount of attribute judging and attribute
changing processing, which causes a substantial increase in
the display processing speed.
Representative independent claim 1 is reproduced as
follows:
1. A graphic display method comprising the steps
of:
generating data for graphic elements having a
plurality of attributes;
classifying the generated graphic element data into
groups according to the attributes of the graphic elements and
arranging the groups into memory according to classification;
and
outputting the graphic element data arranged in
memory onto a display device, one group at a time.
