Rendering apparatus, rendering method, and storage medium

A method comprising:

• setting, a clip for a first object and a clip for a second object for a page in which both objects are defined;
• performing edge processing an edge scan line on edge information about a first page clip edge corresponding to the first object clip, edge information about a second page clip edge corresponding to the second object clip, edge information about an edge of the first object, and edge information about an edge of the second object;
• setting, for the edge scan line, a first clip count corresponding to the first page clip edge and a second clip count corresponding to the second page clip edge to valid by reading edge information about the first page clip edge and edge information about the second page clip edge;
• and
• rendering the first object after the first clip count set to valid, and rendering the second object after the second clip count is set to valid, wherein
• in a case of performing rendering based on print data in which a plurality of objects for which a clip is not set are defined, and rendering an object on a predetermined scan line, which is a scan line subsequent to the edge scan line,
• an update unit is configured to read edge information about a predetermined page clip edge on the predetermined scan line, and set a predetermined clip count corresponding to the predetermined page clip edge to valid, and set a different clip count corresponding to a different page clip edge to valid;
• and
• a rendering unit is configured to render an object corresponding to both page clip edges after the predetermined clip count and the different clip count are set to valid.
