1. A drawing processing apparatus for making an approximation to an object to be drawn with a parametric curve represented by coordinate points associated with a single parameter, the apparatus comprising: a factor data memory part which stores a group of representative values of an internal division factor at two points in a domain of the parameter in a one-dimensional parametric coordinate system defined for each of segments, or component units, of the parametric curve, the internal division factor being given by a linear function of the parameter; an interpolation processing part which interpolates the group of representative values of the internal division factor stored in the factor data memory part by using a linear interpolator with a value of the parameter specified in a segment to be processed as an interpolation factor, thereby calculating an interpolated value of the internal division factor corresponding to the specified value of the parameter; and a subdivision processing part which performs an internal division operation on a plurality of control points defining shape of the segment to be processed at a ratio based on the interpolated value of the internal division factor, thereby calculating a vertex coordinate on the parametric curve corresponding to the specified value of the parameter in the segment to be processed.
