Abstract: In some examples, a system selects a spanning region of an image spanning an intersection between adjacent sub-images that partition the image. The spanning region is divided based on a non-linear path that is determined on the basis of a user input, resulting in respective modified adjacent sub-images. Print data to cause a printing device to print the respective modified adjacent sub-images is generated on the basis of the dividing.
