Two dimensional rotation of sub-sampled color space images

A method for rotating a color image stored in a memory, the method comprising:

• reading sub-sampled image data describing the color image, wherein the sub-sampled image data is located at a predefined address of the memory;
• pushing the sub-sampled image data in a memory device;
• re-reading the sub-sampled image data;
• pushing the sub-sampled image data that is re-read in the memory device;
• and
• generating a plurality of pixels, wherein the plurality of pixels form the color image having a predefined angle of rotation, wherein the plurality of pixels are formed by selectively reading the sub-sampled image data.

A display system for rotating a color image, the display system comprising:

• a memory for storing the color image as sub-sampled image data;
• a controller coupled to the memory, wherein the controller includes combinatorial logic to convert the sub-sampled image data into a plurality of pixels, wherein the plurality of pixels form the color image having a predefined angle of rotation, wherein the combinatorial logic is executable for:
• reading sub-sampled image data describing the color image, wherein the sub-sampled image data is located at a predefined address of the memory;
• pushing the sub-sampled image data in a memory device;
• re-reading the sub-sampled image data;
• pushing the sub-sampled image data that is re-read in the memory device;
• generating the plurality of pixels, wherein the plurality of pixels are formed by selectively reading the sub-sampled image data;
• and
• a display device coupled to the controller for displaying the plurality of pixels.
