Abstract: A frequency selective reflector including a reflecting member reflecting the electromagnetic waves; and a dielectric layer that: is disposed at an incident side of the electromagnetic waves with respect to the reflecting member; includes a concave and convex structure in which a plurality of a unit structure including a thickness distribution of increasing thickness in a predetermined direction is arranged; and transmits the electromagnetic waves, wherein the unit structure of the dielectric layer includes a plurality of cell regions of which thickness differs from one another; the dielectric layer includes, as the unit structure, at least a first unit structure including three or more of the cell regions of which thickness differs from one another; and a reflection direction of the electromagnetic waves is controlled by controlling a relative reflection phase distribution of the electromagnetic waves by the thickness distribution of the dielectric layer.

Abstract: A domain covering a drawing data subjected to information processing is determined and equally divided into meshes of predetermined smallest size. For each of vectors constituting a drawing data subjected to the processing, the number of the meshes traversed by the vector is counted. When the number of the meshes traversed by a given one of the vectors exceeds a predetermined value, the domain is equally divided into meshes of a larger mesh size and the number of the updated meshes traversed by the given one vector is counted. By repeating this operation, all the vectors are stored in a memory as the drawing information in terms of the mesh size and the coordinates of the meshes traversed by vector. Since the number of the meshes traversed by the vector thus can not exceed the predetermined value, the speeding-up of the drawing information processing can be accomplished. A predetermined value may be provided for the mesh size, if desired.
