Abstract
Aspects of the present invention are related to systems and methods for rendering graphical objects in a printing system. According to one aspect of the present invention a graphic list may be partitioned, and the graphic-list partitions may be rendered “out-of-order” or concurrently.
Claims20
A printing system comprising:
- a) a partition generator for partitioning a graphic list associated with a print job;
- b) a partition-renderer scheduler for associating a partition of said graphic list with a renderer;
- and
- c) a partition bit-blitter for bit-blitting a rendered partition.
1 more element
A method, in a printing system, for rendering a print job, said method comprising:
- a) partitioning a graphic list associated with a print job, thereby producing, at least, a first partition and a second partition;
- b) sending said first partition to a first renderer;
- c) sending said second partition to a second renderer;
- d) rendering said first partition at said first renderer and said second partition at said second renderer;
- and
- e) bit-blitting said rendered first partition and said rendered second partition.
3 more elements
A printer driver comprising a partition generator for partitioning a graphic list associated with a print job into concurrently renderable partitions requiring bit-blitting.
