Abstract
An image processing apparatus processes image data representative of an image for a plurality of pixels of a display. The pixels have positions designated by locational addresses. The image data includes data elements and a first and second positional address for each data element corresponding to the locational addresses indicating to which pixel each data element corresponds. The image processing apparatus includes a device for sorting the data elements according to each of the first positional addresses. The device generates an output including the data elements and the second positional addresses of each data element in a first positional address order. An additional device sorts the output for the first positional addresses according to the second positional addresses. The additional device generates a display output of the data elements in a first positional address/second positional address order. A method for processing this image data includes sorting the data elements and second positional addresses of each data element according to the first positional addresses thereof. An output is generated including the data elements and their second positional addresses for each data element in a first positional order. The output is sorted according to the second positional addresses for each data element and a display output is generated of data elements in a first positional/second positional order.
