Abstract: An image size transforming apparatus of the present invention comprises a DDA processing unit which expands or contracts an original image by the digital differential analysis (DDA) to create an expanded or contracted image, and an initial value setting unit which uses a random number based initial value as the sum total initial value for the digital differential analysis. Upon the image contraction, the DDA processing unit figures out the DDA sum total at the current pixel position by adding a contracted image size to the initialized DDA sum total, at the original image pixel initializing position, but to the DDA sum total figured out at the immediately previous pixel position, at the other pixel positions. If the DDA sum total is not less than the original image size, then the DDA processing unit copies pixels at the current pixel position onto a contracted image and defines the result of subtraction of the image size from the current DDA value as the DDA sum total at the next pixel position.
