Patent ID: 8681167

Claim:
A non-transitory processor readable storage medium storing content that when executed by the processor causes the processor to: receive configuration information, wherein the configuration information defines a first quantity of different types of pixel planes to be rendered and a first blending order to define order with which different type of pixel planes rendered are to be blended for display; configure at least a first subset of universal pixel planes, from a plurality of universal pixel planes available, to render the first quantity of the different type of pixel planes defined in the configuration information, wherein a universal pixel plane can be configured as one of a plurality of different types of pixel planes, wherein each of the first subset of universal pixel planes is configured as an appropriate type of pixel plane based on the first blending order defined in configuration information; and render the appropriate type of pixel plane for each of the first subset of universal pixel planes by retrieving pixels from an associated memory and performing appropriate operations thereon.
