Abstract
A system and method are provided for accelerated graphic rendering a view of a design layout view represented by a plurality of graphic objects defined by respective geometry data therefor. A database stores the geometry data having location and geometric portions. A large object module actuates retrieval of the geometry data for each of the graphic objects within the view selectively classified to be a large object. A small object module actuates partial retrieval of the geometry data for each of the graphic objects within the view selectively classified to be a small object, the location portion being thereby retrieved exclusive of the geometric portion of the geometry data for each small object. A rendering control module generates a composite image of the design layout view for display, which includes a geometric reproduction of each large object and an abstracted representation of each small object within the view.
