Abstract
This patent discloses a system and method to compile a set of display points that define a two dimensional representation of a straight line graphic object using three dimensional rasterization algorithms. In one embodiment, a three dimensional (3D) graphics accelerator may receive data. The data may define three vertices (x, y, K), (x, y, K), and (x, y, K) of a triangle primitive. Attributes K=(K+K)/2 and coordinates (x, y), (x, y), and (x, y) form an isosceles triangle primitive. Coordinates (x, y) and (x, y) define a base of the isosceles triangle primitive. The isosceles triangle primitive may be rendered using the three dimensional rasterization algorithms to obtain the set of display points that define a two dimensional representation of the base of the isosceles triangle primitive.
