Abstract

A method for drawing a composite figure by combining a plurality of figures. The contours of the plurality of figures are first drawn, and thereafter the insides of the contours are successively filled with in accordance with plane filling attributes of the corresponding figures. Thus, a composite figure with unnecessary contours made to disappear at superposed portions of the figures can be obtained.
