Abstract
A display list contains a plurality of entries which each point to a block of data to be displayed on a display screen. An attribute field associated with each entry defines the type of data in the block, so that the data may be properly processed and converted to a displayable image. The display list allows for multiple windows of different data types to be quickly processed and simultaneously displayed on the display screen.
