Abstract

One disclosed embodiment includes a method of graphics processing. The method includes receiving a first function, wherein the first function indicates a desired sampling rate for image content, wherein the desired sampling rate differs in a first location along a first axial direction and a second location along the first axial direction, and wherein the image content is divided into a plurality of tiles, determining a first rasterization rate for each tile of the plurality of tiles based, at least in part, on the desired sampling rate indicated by the first function corresponding to each respective tile, receiving one or more primitives associated with content for display, rasterizing at least a portion of a primitive associated with a respective tile based, at least in part, on the determined first rasterization rate for the respective tile, and displaying an image based on the rasterized portion of the primitive.
