Abstract
A method for using a graphics processor by an electronic device for subdividing an input image into multiple sub-regions. For each particular sub-region, a data structure is created that identifies one or more primitives that are visible in each quad of the particular sub-region. Existing coverage of one or more quads is erased based on graphics state (GState) information resulting in surviving coverage for one or more quads.
