Abstract:
An apparatus for displaying a polygon on a horizontal scan display device, the display device having a plurality of pixels that are selectively lit for displaying the polygon, the apparatus comprising:a first rasterizer having an input for receiving polygon data relating to the polygon, the first rasterizer determining a first set of pixels that are to be lit for display of the polygon, the first rasterizer further determining display characteristics of the first set of pixels; a second rasterizer having an input for receiving polygon data relating to the polygon, the second rasterizer determining a second set of pixels that are to be lit for display of the polygon, the second rasterizer further determining display characteristics for the second set of pixels; the first set of pixels and second set of pixels having no common pixels, the first set of pixels and second set of pixels each being vertical stripes of pixels on the display device, the vertical stripes being transverse to the direction of the horizontal scan.
