Imaging data stream method and apparatus for full-color support

An apparatus comprising one or more processor-readable storage devices having a processor-readable code embodied on said one or more processor-readable storage devices, said processor-readable code programs one or more processors to perform the method, comprising:

• providing a highlight Line Conditioned Data Stream, LCDS imaging data stream;
• and
• modifying said highlight Line Conditioned Data Stream, LCDS imaging data stream utilizing existing constructs of said highlight Line Conditioned Data Stream, LCDS imaging data stream in order to provide extensions to said highlight Line Conditioned Data Stream, LCDS imaging data stream by adding extensions to said highlight Line Conditioned Data Stream, (LCDS imaging data stream) for multiple full-color rendering capabilities without re-writing or converting said highlight Line Conditioned Data Stream, LCDS imaging data stream into another format.

A non-transitory program product residing in a computer, said program product comprising:

• non-transitory instruction media residing in said computer for providing a highlight Line Conditioned Data Stream, LCDS imaging data stream;
• and
• non-transitory instruction media residing in said computer for modifying said highlight Line Conditioned Data Stream, LCDS imaging data stream utilizing existing constructs of said highlight Line Conditioned Data Stream, LCDS imaging data stream in order to provide extensions to said highlight Line Conditioned Data Stream, LCDS imaging data stream by adding extensions to said highlight Line Conditioned Data Stream, (LCDS imaging data stream) for multiple full-color rendering capabilities without re-writing or converting said highlight Line Conditioned Data Stream, LCDS imaging data stream into another format.
