Abstract
When performing tile-based rendering in a graphics processing system, lists indicative of fragments to be processed are maintained for respective sub-regions of tiles to be rendered, with each list entry representing a group of one or more fragments and including an indication of the coverage within the tile sub-region of the group of fragments that the list entry represents. The coverage information for the list entries is then used to set for entries in the list indicative of fragments to be processed for a sub-region, information indicating whether one or more processing operations are eligible to be performed for fragments that entries in the list represent.
