Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus comprising: a memory module in which image data is drawn; a processing circuit for generating pixel data based on primitive parameters and address data which is two-dimensional coordinate data of the pixels, said processing circuit outputting the pixel data and address data and first attribute parameters of the pixels; a color calculation circuit for calculating color based on the first attribute parameters of the processing circuit and outputting second attribute parameters of the pixels after the color calculation; a pixel increasing circuit for generating a plurality of the pixels based on the second attribute parameters of the color calculation circuit and generating addresses of the plurality of pixels based on the address data of the processing circuit, the pixel increasing circuit including a drawing parameter generation unit for generating parameters of nearby pixels based on the second attribute parameters and an expanded coordinate generation unit for generating the two-dimensional coordinate data of the nearby pixels based on the two-dimensional coordinate data of the processing circuit; and a memory controller for drawing a plurality of pixels generated by the pixel increasing circuit in the memory module, wherein the primitive being drawn is a gaseous object.
