Image data processing method in image processor and computer readable medium storing program therefor for rendering a texture based on a triangulation pattern

Abstract

An image data processing method in an image processor includes: a vertex shader which determines, based on received vertex data of a polygon, positions on a display unit corresponding to the vertex data; a rasterizer which determines pixels on the display unit that are necessary to display, on the display unit, an image in which a designated texture is mapped on the polygon based on positions of apices on the display unit determined by the vertex shader; and a pixel shader which determines, whenever information indicating a position of an individual pixel on the display unit where to determine a pixel value is received from the rasterizer, a pixel value of the position through interpolation using values of prescribed texture pixels around the position to display, on the display unit, the image in which the designated texture is mapped on the polygon, and the pixel shader is as defined herein.
