Abstract
A solid generator allows multiple identical solids to be produced in respective ones of the tiles of a rectangular array of tiles. The tiles may occupy a whole frame, may be shifted relative to the edges of the frame. One row of tiles may be shifted relative to another row. The array may be passed across the frame. The tiles may occupy a part of the frame. A single ramp is defined by R=Ah+Bv_C where A, B and C are signed values, h=pixels along a line and v=lines. Values of A, B and C for various tiles are stored in registers C , C , C , FB , FB , FB and used in relation to the individual tiles.
