Image forming apparatus capable of speeding up drawing process, an image forming method, and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes a control circuit configured to determine whether one of an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate of a path specified in each of successive drawing commands for vector objects is the same, wherein the successive drawing commands are received in incoming printable data. The control circuit is further configured to execute, when there is a new successive drawing command for a vector object in which one of an x-coordinate and a y-coordinate of the path specified by the new successive drawing command is different from the x-coordinate or y-coordinate that has been determined to be the same for previously received successive drawing commands, all of the previously received successive drawing commands having the same x-coordinate or y-coordinate.
