Abstract:
A tiling unit assigning primitives to tiles in a graphics processing system which has a rendering space subdivided into a plurality of tiles. Each tile can comprise one or more polygonal region. Mesh logic of the tiling unit can determine that a plurality of primitives form a mesh and can determine whether the mesh entirely covers a region. If the mesh entirely covers the region then a depth threshold for the region can be updated so that subsequent primitives which lie behind the depth threshold are culled (i.e. not included in the display list for a tile). This helps to reduce the number of primitive IDs included in a display list for a tile which reduces the amount of memory used by the display list and reduces the number of primitives which a hidden surface removal (HSR) module needs to fetch to perform HSR on the tile.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 5 , wherein said using the identified intersection points to determine whether the mesh entirely covers the region of the tile comprises, for each edge of the region:\n determining whether a pair of consecutive intersection points on the line aligned with the edge encompass the edge of the region on the line, with the section between the consecutive intersection points on the line being within the mesh, wherein if, for each edge of the region, a pair of consecutive intersection points encompass the edge of the region with the section between the consecutive intersection points on the line being within the mesh, then it is determined that the mesh entirely covers the region.
