Piecewise linear irregular rasterization

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media that include instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform the steps of:

• for each region included in a plurality of regions of a screen space associated with a display screen:
• computing a first sampling factor that comprises a horizontal sampling factor for pixels located in the region,
• computing a second sampling factor that comprises a vertical sampling factor for the pixels located in the region,
• computing a first offset that comprises a horizontal position associated with the region, and
• computing a second offset that comprises a vertical position associated with the region;
• determining that the geometry object intersects two or more regions;
• generating a first instance of the geometry object for a first region intersected by the geometry object;
• and
• generating a second instance of the geometry object for a second region intersected by the geometry object,
• wherein the first region and the second region are at least one of horizontally adjacent in screen space and vertically adjacent in screen space, and
• wherein the first sampling factor associated with the first region is different than the first sampling factor associated with the second region, and the second sampling factor associated with the first region is different than the second sampling factor associated with the second region.

A system, comprising:

• a display screen;
• and
• a graphics processing pipeline that is configured to:
• divide a screen space associated with the display screen into a plurality of regions that are arranged in a set of rows and a set of columns;
• for each region included in the plurality of regions:
• compute a first sampling factor that comprises a horizontal sampling factor for pixels located in the region,
• compute a second sampling factor that comprises a vertical sampling factor for the pixels located in the region,
• compute a first offset that comprises a horizontal position associated with the region, and
• compute a second offset that comprises a vertical position associated with the region;
• determine that the geometry object intersects two or more regions;
• generate a first instance of the geometry object for a first region intersected by the geometry object;
• and
• generate a second instance of the geometry object for a second region intersected by the geometry object,
• wherein the first region and the second region are at least one of horizontally adjacent in screen space and vertically adjacent in screen space,
• wherein the first sampling factor associated with the first region is different than the first sampling factor associated with the second region, and the second sampling factor associated with the first region is different than the second sampling factor associated with the second region.
