CA 2146516

ABSTRACT There is provided an image generation apparatus which requires a small amount of data for a draw command and a small capacity for a mixing ratio memory and which is capable of performing full transparent and full opaque processes utilizing a semitransparent process at high speed. The image generation apparatus includes a read circuit for reading the pixel data of the image which has been previously drawn from a frame buffer, a mixing circuit for mixing the pixel data read from the frame buffer and the pixel data of the corresponding position where the next drawing operation is to be performed in a specified mixing ratio, a write circuit for writing pixel data as a result of the mixing at the mixing circuit in the corresponding pixel position in the frame buffer, a mixing ratio memory portion for storing a plurality of mixing ratios, and an index memory for selecting the mixing ratio to be supplied to the mixing circuit from the mixing ratio memory portion according to mixing ratio selection information included in the draw command.
