Abstract:
1. A computer implemented method comprising: in response to a graphics command received from an API, the graphics command including a scale factor to scale a graphics data in a processing unit, determining an up scale factor larger than the scale factor, wherein the up scale factor can be stored arithmetically in the processing unit; sending an up scaling command to the processing unit to scale the graphics data into a temporary graphics data according to the up scale factor; determining a down scale factor based on the scale factor and the up scale factor, wherein the down scale factor can be stored arithmetically and wherein a combined scale factor corresponds to a combination of the up scale factor and the down scale factor; and sending a down scaling command to the processing unit to scale the temporary graphics data according to the down scale factor and wherein the down scaling command is performed after the up scaling command is performed.
