Abstract
When processing graphics primitives in a graphics processing system, the render output is divided into a plurality of regions for rendering, each region comprising a respective area of the render output. It is determined for which of the plurality of regions of the render output a primitive should be rendered for. Associated state data for rendering the primitive is stored in a 'state data' data structure in memory. For each region of the render output it is determined the primitive should be rendered for, a reference to the associated state data for rendering the primitive is stored in a respective, different data structure for each different region of the render output it is determined the primitive should be rendered for.
