Claims10
A method, in a printing system, for rendering a print job, said method comprising:
- receiving, associated with a print job, a graphic list comprising a first graphic-list element, an immediately previous graphic-list element and an immediately subsequent graphic-list element;
- assigning said first graphic-list element to a first partition, wherein said first partition is a partition associated with said immediately previous graphic-list element when a first graphical-object type associated with said first graphic-list element is the same as a third graphical-object type associated with said immediately previous graphic-list element and said first partition is a newly created partition, not associated with said immediately previous graphic-list element, when said first graphical-object type is not the same as said third graphical-object type;
- comparing said first graphical-object type with a second graphical-object type associated with said immediately subsequent graphic-list element;
- when said first graphical-object type and said second graphical-object type are the same, assigning said immediately subsequent graphic-list element to said first partition;
- and
- when said first graphical-object type and said second graphical-object type are not the same, creating a second partition and assigning said immediately subsequent graphic-list element to said second partition.
