Image generating apparatus, image generating method, and computer program
First Claim
1. An image generating apparatus for drawing a three-dimensional image comprising:
- a drawing object information generating device for generating drawing object information, which is information for drawing objects as the three-dimensional image, in a single coordinate system;
a coordinate transformation information generating device for generating coordinate transformation information, which is information for defining at least one of a view point and a field of view concerning the three-dimensional image;
a drawing object information storing device for storing the drawing object information;
a coordinate transformation information storing device for storing the coordinate transformation information; and
a drawing device for generate the three-dimensional image by using the stored drawing object information and the stored coordinate transformation information.

Abstract
A picture generating apparatus (1) is provided with: a drawing application processor (11) for instructing a drawing device (13) to generate a 3D image; and a graphics library (12). The drawing application processor is provided with a drawing object information generation device for generating drawing object information to generate an image; and a coordinate transformation information generation device for generating coordinate transformation information. The drawing device generates the 3D image by applying the coordinate transformation information to the drawing object information. Consequently, this ensures the high-speed generation of the image and the ability of replacement of the drawing device.
