- 27 Abstract NEED-BELOW PROCESSING ACROSS Z-BAND BOUNDARIES Disclosed is a method for producing a set of compositing instructions to render a region of a page. The method receives (320) a plurality of objects partitioned into at least two z-order bands, the received objects being associated with at least one transparency group that spans at least two bands. A transparency characteristic for at least one object within a z-order band is established. The method identifies (500) a transparency group in the one band which is active in at least one other band and contains at least one object active in the region, determines (520-525) contributing objects for the region in the band using the identified transparency group, the determination being performed by at least interpreting a change (530) of the transparency characteristic of at least one object in the band, and produces (390,391) a set of compositing instructions to render the region using the determined contributing objects. 7785270_1 P086310_speci-lodged r-4 0~ & |
