Abstract
In a method of image processing for rendering a two-dimensional pixel image from a plurality of triangular image primitives to be projected onto an image plane, parameter values at positions within the triangles are translucency values. All the translucent pixel fragments are characterised as partial fragments, and the fragments are inserted into a pixel fragment buffer from front to back. The final colour of a pixel is determined from the foremost fragment.
