Rendering apparatus, rendering method, and computer product

A rendering method that is executed by a computer, the rendering method comprising:

• acquiring graphic information including coordinates positions of vertices of a figure to be rendered in a rendering area;
• specifying based on the acquired graphic information and for a division area created by dividing the rendering area, at least a part of the graphic information to be rendered in the division area;
• calculating based on data size of the specified graphic information and for the division area, total data size of the specified graphic information to be rendered in the division area;
• selecting from among division areas, one or a plurality of the division areas to be used as a rendering destination for the figure to be rendered, the one or plurality of the division areas being selected based on the calculated total data size and based on a data capacity of a memory area to which the specified graphic information is to be stored;
• writing to the memory area, the specified graphic information that is to be rendered in the selected one of plurality of the division areas;
• and
• generating based on the graphic information written to the memory area, an image for the selected one or plurality of the division areas.

A non-transitory, computer-readable recording medium that stores a rendering program that causes a computer to execute a process comprising:

• acquiring graphic information including coordinates positions of vertices of a figure to be rendered in a rendering area;
• specifying based on the acquired graphic information and for a division area created by dividing the rendering area, at least a part of the graphic information to be rendered in the division area;
• calculating based on data size of the specified graphic information and for the division area, total data size of the specified graphic information to be rendered in the division area;
• selecting from among division areas, one or a plurality of the division areas to be used as a rendering destination for the figure to be rendered, the one or plurality of the division areas being selected based on the calculated total data size and based on a data capacity of a memory area to which the specified graphic information is to be stored;
• and
• writing to the memory area, the specified graphic information that is to be rendered in the selected one or plurality of the division areas.
