Claim 19:
20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions which, when executed in a computer system, cause the computer system perform operations comprising:
generating a primitive batch including a sequential sequence of a plurality of primitives;
computing respective bin intercepts for each of the plurality of primitives in the primitive batch; and
shading the primitive batch by iteratively processing each of the respective bin intercepts computed until all of the respective bin intercepts are processed,
wherein iteratively processing each of the respective bin intercepts comprises:
identifying a particular bin intercept from each of the respective bin intercepts computed,
rasterizing a first primitive and all other primitives that have the particular bin intercept, and
selecting a new particular bin intercept from a remaining subset of the respective bin intercepts computed, wherein the first primitive has the new particular bin intercept.
