Abstract
A method of rendering a graphical object on a page in a pixel sequential renderer () processing a page having a plurality of scanlines, is disclosed. Each of the scanlines is divided into at least a first swathe and a second swathe. The method tracks a plurality of edges of the graphical object and sorts a first portion of the tracked edges on a first swathe of one or the plurality of scanlines using a first sorter to control first activation information. A second portion of the tracked edges on a second swathe of said one of the plurality of scanlines is sorted using a second sorter to control second activation information and the second activation information is synchronized with the first activation information. The graphical object is rendered on the page in the pixel sequential renderer () using the first and the synchronized second activation information.
