Abstract

An image creation device includes: a plurality of geometry processing means for creating at least one drawing element list by performing geometry processing to express images, respectively, in parallel, said plurality of geometry processing means having at least one first geometry processing means to perform tyical geometry processing and at least one second geometry processing in cooperation with another geometry processing means; drawing means to perform drawing processing based on said drawing element list; and control means to selectively adopt a first mode which parallelizes said at least one first geometry processing means and said at least one second geometry processing means and a second mode to lead a processing result of said at least one second geometry processing means to an input of said at least one first geometry processing means.
