Abstract

A method for converting an image from a run representation to a bit map, includes the steps of: storing a plurality of run representations of an image in a buffer; initializing a line of data; converting, by table lookup, each run representation, in said line, to a picture element representation, storing said picture element representation of said line; repeating the steps of initializing, converting and storing for remaining run representations until said image has been converted to a bit map representation.
