Abstract
Encoded information is provided about how an image is rendered. When the image is initially rendered, preselected colors are used. The image is re-rendered so that colors used to re-render the image encode information about how the image was originally rendered. For example, the colors for the re-rendered image indicate for each part of the image, the number of vertices included in that part of the image. Alternatively, the colors for the re-rendered image indicate for each part of the image, which type of primitive within a graphics library is used to re-render the first part of the image, or the colors for the re-rendered image indicate for each part of the image, scheduling path within the graphics library used to render that part of the image.
