Abstract
In one embodiment, image data that corresponds to a single image, received through multiple DDI calls, is analyzed and merged or otherwise combined into a single image element. This single image element can then be processed, as by being serialized into XAML, so that it can be somewhat more efficiently consumed by a consuming device. Merging of the image data can eliminate or at least reduce noticeable seams, conserve parsing time and reduce memory consumption.
