Patent ID: 8115780

Claim:
A method of generating an image on a display comprising a plurality of pixels from a vector description of a scene, the method comprising: sampling data from the vector description to provide the data samples at locations defined in relation to the pixels from the vector description, wherein the data samples are at locations defined in relation to the pixels from the vector description and are relative to a central sample as determined by a rasterizer, and wherein the locations comprise a first and a second location at the edges of the pixels, a third location at the corner of the pixels and a fourth location at the center of the pixels; storing the data samples in a buffer; processing the data samples taken for each of the pixels to give an averaged data value for each of the pixels; and generating the image on the display by applying the averaged data value to each of the pixels, wherein the storing comprises loading data samples into the buffer such that samples taken at locations having the same vertical coordinate in the vector description are located in the same row of the buffer.
