In a process for depicting objects using an image reproduction device, data that describe the form and position of objects are fed into at least one image memory. The data are read out line by line and, along with other data describing the other properties of the objects, processed to form video signals which are fed to the image reproduction device.

[ We claim:] [1.] A method for displaying objects using an image reproduction device with a raster of scanlines, comprising the steps of:(a) inputting data from a graphic processor which contain coordinates of successive points of contours (border lines) of the objects;(b) deriving from the coordinates of the points an even number of contour image elements per scanline, including the case of overlapping objects;(c) storing the contour image elements in at least one memory by setting data at addresses which correspond to locations of the contour image elements to predetermined values;(d) inputting and storing in at least one further memory further data which describe colors, there being one color assigned to each object, each of which colors extends over the entire object;(e) reading out the data of the contour image elements scanline by scanline from the at least one memory;(f) changing the read out data by setting the data of image elements between two contour image elements to said predetermined values;(g) supplying the changed data as addresses to the at least one further memory; and(h) reading out the further data under the addresses from the at least one further memory as digital video signals which are fed to the image reproduction device.
