Abstract
In a case where a size of a path object contained in drawing data is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value, a drawing instruction to draw a line of a predetermined line width along an outline of the path object is added to the drawing data.
Claims20
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory that stores a program;
- and
- at least one processor that executes the program to perform:
- determining whether a size of a path object contained in drawing data is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value;
- and
- adding, to the drawing data, a drawing instruction to draw a line of a predetermined line width along an outline of the path object the size of which is determined to be less than or equal to the predetermined threshold value.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to perform:
- determining whether a size of a path object contained in drawing data is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value;
- and
- adding, to the drawing data, a drawing instruction to draw a line of a predetermined line width along an outline of the path object the size of which is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold value.
An information processing method for controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining whether a size of a path object contained in drawing data is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value;
- and
- adding, to the drawing data, a drawing instruction to draw a line of a predetermined line width along an outline of the path object the size of which is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold value.
A printing apparatus comprising:
- a size determination unit configured to determine whether a size of a path object contained in page description language (PDL) data is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value;
- an addition unit configured to add, to the PDL data, a drawing command to draw a line of a predetermined line width along an outline of the path object the size of which is determined to be less than or equal to the predetermined threshold value by the size determination unit;
- and
- a rasterization unit configured to execute rasterization processing based on the PDL data to which the drawing command has been added by the addition unit.
A control method for controlling a printing apparatus, the method comprising:
- determining whether a size of a path object contained in page description language (PDL) data is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value;
- adding, to the PDL data, a drawing command to draw a line of a predetermined line width along an outline of the path object the size of which is determined to be less than or equal to the predetermined threshold value;
- and
- executing rasterization processing based on the PDL data to which the drawing command has been added.
