RENDERING MODULE FOR BIDIMENSIONAL GRAPHICS, PREFERABLY BASED ON PRIMITIVES OF ACTIVE EDGE TYPE

摘要

A graphics module for the rendering of a bidimensional scene on a displaying screen is described, comprising a sort-middle-type graphics pipeline, said graphics pipeline comprising: a first rasterizer module so configured as to convert an edge-type input primitive received by a path processing module into a primitive of active-edge-type; a first processing module so configured as to associate said primitive of active-edge-type to respective macro-blocks corresponding to portions of the screen and to store said primitive of active-edge-type into a scene buffer; a second processing module so configured as to read said scene buffer and to provide said primitive of active-edge-type to a second rasterizer module.
