Abstract
Disclosed is a process () for converting an image, comprising a set of vector input edges, to a set of corresponding pixel-aligned non-overlapping output edges. The process () traverses () a first scanline to detect the intersection of a first active vector input edge with the first scanline. The process then identifies () a fill compositing sequence referenced by the detected first input edge, and then creates () a first pixel aligned output edge associated with the first input edge. The process then traverses () a second scanline to detect the intersection of a second active vector input edge with the second scanline, after it determines () whether the detected second input edge can be associated with the first output edge on the first scanline. If so then the process extends () extends the first output edge from the first scanline to a pixel boundary in the vicinity of the intersection of the second input edge with the second scanline.
