Abstract (en)
[origin: GB2186766A] A logic processor-controlled data display apparatus has a display memory in which pixel data representing text for display is stored in bit-map form. The pixel data is produced for each display from character data stored in a background memory. The character data is stored in the form of machine code sub-routines. The sub-routine for a character contains instructions for identifying the shape-defining pixels (dots) of the character relative to a base dot position and the sub-routine is run to write these pixels into the display memory following location of the base dot position in the display memory. The invention requires fewer programme steps than when character data is stored in the background memory in bit-map form. <IMAGE>
