Abstract

Texture mapping apparatus in which two sides of a polygon on a display plane and two sides of a polygon on a texture plane are linearly interpolated synchronously, line segments obtained are linearly interpolated synchronously, linear interpolation data of the line segments on the texture plane are loaded in a mapping memory, and data read out from the mapping memory are projected on the display plane, whereby a texture original figure is mapped.
