Abstract
The movement of an image component is determined using the plot information, such as the position, size of the image component, etc., at each time. The complex movement of each image component can be easily generated by providing a plurality of plot information generating units for each image component and combining a plurality of pieces of plot information generated by the plot information generating units when an image is reproduced.
Claims11
A dynamic image composition apparatus for combining and plotting one or more images, comprising:
- a plurality of plot information generating devices generating plot information used to plot a dynamic image on a screen, the plot information being one of a plot position, a size, and a rotation angle of the dynamic image on the screen to update the dynamic image correspondingly to a movement element for generating a movement of the dynamic image;
- an image management device managing image data of each image and generating plot information at a present time of each image by combining one or more pieces of information generated by one or more of the plurality of the plot information generating devices;
- and
- a plotting device receiving the image data and the plot information at the present time from the image management device and plotting the image data based on the plot information at the present time.
A computer-readable storage medium on which is recorded a program for enabling a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:
- generating a plurality of pieces of plot information used to plot an image on a screen, the plot information being one of a plot position, a size, and a rotation angle of the dynamic image on the screen to update the dynamic image correspondingly to a movement element for generating a movement of the dynamic image, for each image;
- generating plot information at a present time of each image by combining the plurality of pieces of plot information;
- and
- plotting each image based on the plot information at the present time.
A dynamic image composition method for combining and plotting one or more images, comprising:
- generating a plurality of pieces of plot information used to plot an image on a screen, the plot information being one of a plot position, a size, and a rotation angle of the dynamic image on the screen to update the dynamic image correspondingly to a movement element for generating a movement of the dynamic image, for each image;
- generating plot information at a present time of each image by combining the plurality of pieces of plot information;
- and
- plotting each image based on the plot information at the present time.
A dynamic image composition apparatus for combining and plotting one or more images, comprising:
- a plurality of plot information generating means for generating plot information used to plot a dynamic image on a screen, the plot information being one of a plot position, a size, and a rotation angle of the dynamic image on the screen to update the dynamic image correspondingly to a movement element for generating a movement of the dynamic image;
- image management means for managing image data of each image and generating plot information at a present time of each image by combining one or more pieces of information generated by one or more of the plurality of the plot information generating means;
- and
- plotting means for receiving the image data and the plot information at the present time from the image management means and plotting the image data based on the plot information at the present time.
A display system, comprising:
- first and second display attribute generators producing display attribute data comprising spatial position, size and rotational position for corresponding first and second graphic image elements;
- an image manager storing the first and second graphic image elements and combining the attribute data with the first and second graphic image elements;
- and
- a display device displaying the first and second graphic image elements responsive to the attribute data.
