PATTERN DRAWING METHOD, PATTERN DRAWING DEVICE, DATA PROCESSING DEVICE AND DATA PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable starting drawing in a short time with stable execution, in regard to pattern drawing on a drawing object while making a drawing pattern coincident with an underlying pattern.;SOLUTION: A run-length data 212 is generated by rasterizing (RIP processing) vector-form design data 211 before drawing processing. In the drawing processing, the run-length data 212 is stripped, or directly corrected on the basis of each division pattern, so as to reconfigure strip data 212a. Based on the strip data 212a, the division pattern is drawn on a substrate. Accordingly, it is possible to start the pattern drawing in a short time as compared to the conventional technique in which the RIP processing is performed during drawing. Also, the pattern drawing can be executed stably, because a time required for drawing each division pattern is substantially identical, irrespective of drawing pattern contents.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT
