Abstract
An image forming apparatus capable of reproducing a hand-written document by automatically correcting it. The apparatus discriminates figure images including hand-written rules and character images which are carried on a document. Thereafter, the apparatus corrects, among the figure images, straight lines images in a designated direction while preserving their relationship to the other figure images as to connection. Further, the apparatus changes the distance between nearby straight line image such that all the straight line images are spaces apart by the same distance.
