  • Patchification system
    Patent number: 4942541
    Abstract: Disclosed is a page printing system which uses virtual (logical) memory for mapping images. Physical memory which is used for creating a page image bitmap for synthetic graphics is to be allocated as patches. A path in general corresponds to a rectangular area of a page when the page exists in bitmap form. Each patch is represented by a set of non-contiguous segments of logical memory which, when mapped to physical memory, are contiguous.
