Persisting graphics structures across resolution change in graphics remoting environment

A computer readable medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing system, cause the processing system to perform a method comprising:

• receiving, by a local system, a graphics structure generated from an application hosted within the local system and accessed by a remote system, the graphics structure representing a display output from the application, wherein the graphics structure is generated in response to a change of display characteristics of the local system;
• generating a first hash from the graphics structure according to a hash algorithm;
• determining whether there is an existing hash maintained by the local system that matches the first hash;
• and
• transmitting the first hash to the remote system without sending the graphics structure if there is an existing hash matching the first hash, wherein the first hash is used by the remote system to identify a graphics structure maintained by the remote system for rendering a display of the remote system.

A machine-implemented method for persisting graphics structures in a graphics remoting environment, the method comprising:

• receiving, by a rendering agent of a local system, a hash from a remote system representing a graphics structure, the graphics structures representing a display output of an application hosted by the remote system and accessed from the local system, wherein the graphics structure is generated by the remote system in response to a change of display characteristics of the remote system;
• identifying, by the rendering agent, a graphics structure from a pool of one or more graphics structures maintained by the local system based on the hash, wherein the one or more graphics structures of the pool were received from the remote system previously;
• and
• rendering, by the rendering agent, the identified graphics structure to a display of the local system.
