Image forming method and apparatus
First Claim
1. An image forming method for creating raster data based on image data written in a page description language, and forming an image based on the created raster data, wherein different image processing is implemented on first raster data created on the basis of a pattern fill command written in the page description language, and second raster data created on the basis of a command other than the pattern fill command.

Abstract
An image forming method for creating raster data based on image data written in a page description language, and forming an image based on the created raster data, in which different image processing is implemented respectively on first raster data created on the basis of a pattern fill command written in the page description language, and second raster data created on the basis of a command other than the pattern fill command.

- 1. An image forming method for creating raster data based on image data written in a page description language, and forming an image based on the created raster data, wherein different image processing is implemented on first raster data created on the basis of a pattern fill command written in the page description language, and second raster data created on the basis of a command other than the pattern fill command.
- 2. An image forming method for creating raster data based on image data written in a page description language, and forming an image based on the created raster data, wherein different image processing is implemented respectively on first raster data created on the basis of a line drawing command, from among line drawing commands written in the page description language, in which a line width does not exceed a fixed value or a density does not exceed a fixed value, and on second raster data created on the basis of a command other than the line drawing command.
- 3. An image forming method for creating raster data based on image data written in a page description language, and forming an image based on the created raster data, wherein different image processing is implemented respectively on first raster data created on the basis of a character drawing command, from among character drawing commands written in the page description language, in which a character size does not exceed a fixed value or a density does not exceed a fixed value, and on second raster data created on the basis of a command other than the character drawing command.

19. An image forming apparatus for creating raster data based on image data written in a page description language, and forming an image based on the created raster data, comprising:
image processing switching unit which switches between image processing that is implemented on first raster data created on the basis of a pattern fill command written in the page description language, and image processing that is implemented on second raster data created on the basis of a command other than the pattern fill command. - View Dependent Claims (22, 25, 28, 31, 34)
