Abstract
A graphic processing system to compute a texture coordinate. An embodiment of the graphic processing system includes a memory device, a texture coordinate generator, and a display device. The memory device is configured to store a plurality of texture maps. The texture coordinate generator is coupled to the memory device. The texture coordinate generator is configured to compute a final texture coordinate using an arithmetic operation exclusive of a division operation. The display device is coupled to the texture coordinate generator. The display device is configured to display a representation of one of the plurality of texture maps according to the final texture coordinate. Embodiments of the graphic processing system facilitate a simple hardware implementation using operations other than division.
