<p>A method (40) and apparatus (30) is described for performing image rendering of high resolution computer generated images using limited memory and constrained rendering architectures. An image is segmented into a plurality of tiles. A graphics renderer (17), which is usually used for rendering low resolution images onto a display device (19), is used to render one tile at a time. The rendered tile images are combined to form a band of the image and the image data of the band is transferred to a printer engine (20) for printing. Each band is rendered and transferred to the printer engine (20) until the whole image is printed. <IMAGE></p> |
