A storage circuit stores respective information items of each of texture pixels constituting the texture data and at least one texture pixel in a vicinity of the each of the texture pixels, in a continuously-accessible region thereof.

A readout circuit reads out the corresponding set of the information items from the address calculated by the address calculation circuit. A synthesis circuit synthesizes the corresponding set of the information items read out by the readout circuit. A drawing circuit draws, based on texture pixel information synthesized by the synthesis circuit, a corresponding pixel of the polygons.
