Abstract
A method of implementing a move-draw format to control the operation of a graphics accelerator of a computer system which includes the steps of providing a designation in a process for rendering an element defining the total element being drawn, referring to the type designation to determine whether the graphics accelerator is able to implement an algorithm for such type, and selecting the individual coordinates from the format to implement the process while ignoring the move-draw elements if the graphics accelerator is capable of implementing the algorithm.
