Abstract
A drawing apparatus includes a drawing head and a control device. If a drawing target surface has a first region acclivitous and declivitous respectively in first and second directions different from one another, the drawing head draws first pixels to be drawn on the first region while performing first and second scans in which the drawing head moves respectively in the first and second directions. The control device controls a ratio of a drawing amount of a first scan drawing pixel to be drawn in a line of the first region during the first scan to a drawing amount required for pixels in the line among the first pixels to be higher than a ratio of a drawing amount of a second scan drawing pixel to be drawn in the line during the second scan to the drawing amount required for the pixels in the line.
Claims11
A drawing apparatus comprising:
- a drawing head which performs drawing on a drawing target surface while moving in a first direction and a second direction different from one another;
- and
- a control device which controls operation of the drawing head,
- wherein:
- in a case in which the drawing target surface has a first region which is acclivitous in the first direction and declivitous in the second direction, the drawing head draws a plurality of first pixels to be drawn on the first region while performing each of (i) a first scan in which the drawing head moves in the first direction and (ii) a second scan in which the drawing head moves in the second direction, and
- the control device controls a ratio of a drawing amount of a first scan drawing pixel to be drawn in a line of the first region by the drawing head during the first scan to a drawing amount required for a plurality of pixels in the line among the plurality of the first pixels to be higher than a ratio of a drawing amount of a second scan drawing pixel to be drawn in the line by the drawing head during the second scan to the drawing amount required for the plurality of the pixels in the line.
A drawing method for performing drawing on a drawing target, the drawing method comprising:
- in a case in which a drawing target surface of the drawing target has a first region which is acclivitous in a first direction and declivitous in a second direction different from the first direction, controlling a ratio of a drawing amount of a first scan drawing pixel to be drawn in a line of the first region by a drawing head during a first scan to a drawing amount required for a plurality of pixels in the line among a plurality of first pixels to be drawn on the first region to be higher than a ratio of a drawing amount of a second scan drawing pixel to be drawn in the line by the drawing head during a second scan to the drawing amount required for the plurality of the pixels in the line,
- wherein the first scan and the second scan are performed by the drawing head moving in the first direction and the second direction, respectively.
