Abstract
In rendering a page description on a rendering system, a method comprises the step of receiving objects and generating one or more sets of render instructions. For each received object it is first determined whether by adding the corresponding render instructions of a current received object to a current set of render instructions the resources of the rendering system will be exceeded. If the resources would be exceeded then a new set of render instructions are created, render instructions are added thereto to draw the current set of render instructions as a background image, and then the corresponding render instructions of the current received object are added to the new set. On the other hand, if the resources would not be exceeded then the corresponding render instructions of the current received object are added to the current set. Finally, the method renders the one or more sets of rendering instructions.
