Abstract
An electronic graphic system comprises an image store for storing data defining an initial image, an address generator for generating address data identifying multiple dot areas in the store, and a processor for processing the data in each dot area so that picture elements in the dot area are defined by data of a substantially uniform value. The processed data thus defines a multiplicity of picture elements that together form an image of multiple dot areas derived from the initial image data. The system can be applied to data defining a still image and to video data defining a moving image. When applied to video data the dot areas can be varied on a time basis.
