The invention is directed to a method and apparatus for selecting pixels to write to a buffer when creating an enlarged image. The apparatus includes a display pipe for buffering a row of pixels to be rendered in a display space, and a controller for writing display pixels to the display pipe. The controller is adapted for determining which pixels in a row of pixels are non-display pixels so that the controller does not write the non-display pixels to the display pipe. Preferably, the apparatus includes a memory for storing the original image. The method includes the steps of determining which pixels in a row of pixels are non-display pixels; and forwarding the display pixels for rendering in the display space so that the non-display pixels are not forwarded for rendering in the display space.
An apparatus for creating, from an original image, an enlarged image for rendering in a display space, the original image and the display space each being defined by a matrix of pixels, wherein the original image includes display pixels that will be rendered in the enlarged image and non-display pixels that will not be rendered in the enlarged image, the apparatus comprising:
A method for creating, from an original image, an enlarged image for rendering in a display space, the original image and the display space each being defined by a matrix of pixels, wherein the original image includes display pixels that will be rendered in the enlarged image and non-display pixels that will not be rendered in the enlarged image, the method comprising:
An system for creating, from an original image, an enlarged image for rendering in a display space, the original image and the display space each being defined by a matrix of pixels, wherein the original image includes display pixels that will be rendered in the enlarged image and non-display pixels that will not be rendered in the enlarged image, the system comprising:
A machine-readable medium embodying a program of instructions executable by a machine to perform a method for creating, from an original image, an enlarged image for rendering in a display space, the original image and the display space each being defined by a matrix of pixels, wherein the original image includes display pixels that will be rendered in the enlarged image and non-display pixels that will not be rendered in the enlarged image, the method comprising:
