Abstract:
1. A method for controlling a thin line growth when producing a second image at a second resolution from a first image at a first resolution, comprising: receiving the first image in the first resolution, wherein each pixel of a plurality of pixels within the first image is marked with a first tag and a second tag, wherein the first tag is used to determine whether each pixel is on or off in the first image and the second tag is used to determine whether a thin line growth for each pixel is on or off in the first image; and producing the second image in the second resolution based upon the first image in the first resolution, wherein the second image of the second resolution comprises a plurality of sub-lines, wherein each line of the first image in the first resolution corresponds to two or more of the sub-lines of the plurality of sub-lines in the second image in the second resolution, wherein a thin line is grown by performing a pixel-by-pixel analysis by tracking a current position of each pixel of the second image and turning on each pixel in a sub-line of the plurality of sub-lines that is adjacent to a different pixel from a different sub-line of the plurality of sub-lines having the first tag on and the second tag of the each pixel in the sub-line is on, wherein second tag is set before the pixel-by-pixel analysis is performed.
