Abstract

See full text

In graphics rendering, a texture tile is divided into a plurality of partitions, each partition having a plurality of vertices. A map indicates, for each partition, whether each partition comprises a constant color. Then the plurality of vertices are transferred to a vertex shader, which determines that at least one of the partitions comprises a constant color partition. A vertex shader applies a vertex transformation that associates a set of texel coordinates from the texture tile to each of the vertices of the constant color partition to generate a set of associated texel coordinates. A first coordinate of the set of associated texel coordinates is set to zero. A pixel shader interpolates the associated texel coordinates to generate an interpolated value and accesses a single texel in the constant color partition that corresponds to the interpolated value.
