Abstract
Methods, systems and data structures produce a rasterizer. A graphical state is detected on a machine architecture. The graphical state is used for assembling a shell rasterizer. The machine architecture is used for selecting replacement logic that replaces portions of shell logic in the shell rasterizer. The machine architecture is used for selectively inserting memory management logic into portions of the shell logic to produce.
Claims22
A method comprising:
- representing a desired graphical state as processing logic;
- and
- modifying a shell rasterizer to include a reference to the processing logic for purposes of subsequently producing the desired graphical state.
A machine accessible medium having associated instructions, which when processed, result in a machine performing:
- modifying a rasterizer in response to a desired graphical state, a machine's architecture and properties associated with that architecture;
- indexing the modified rasterizer for subsequent access in response to the desired graphical state.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a tokenizer to assemble processing logic for a given graphical state;
- and
- a composer to modify a shell raster to include a pointer to the processing logic.
A system, comprising:
- a tokenizer to assemble processing logic for a given graphical state;
- a composer to modify a shell raster to include a pointer to the processing logic;
- and
- a display to interface with a machine that produces the modified shell raster, and wherein the display is to present an image subsequently produced by a rasterizer, which is derived from the shell raster.
