Claim 0:
1. A coating method for coating a component with a coating agent, having the following steps:
a) defining a pattern on the component surface of the component to be coated, the pattern being a surface region which is bordered by a contour,
b) areal coating the component surface with the coating agent within the contour,
c) sharp-edged coating of the component surface with a coating agent along at least part of the contour of the pattern, and
further comprising at least one of the following steps:
d) determining the type of a manipulator for guiding an applicator,
e) reading out a manipulator-specific parameter set from a memory, the manipulator-specific parameter set representing properties of the manipulator,
f) defining a type of applicator,
g) reading an applicator-specific parameter set from a memory, the applicator-specific parameter set representing properties of the applicator,
h) defining a path program-specific parameter set, the path program-specific parameter set defining properties of a robot path, including at least one of the following:
h1) coating path width,
h2) curve radius of the robot path,
h3) coating volume flow,
h4) maximum path speed,

i) reading of the pattern from a memory,
j) analysis of the read out pattern to determine the contour,
k) calculation of a path program including at least one of the following:
k1) approach paths,
k2) departure paths,
k3) switch-on points, and/or
k4) switch-off points,

l) visualization of the path program.
