Abstract

The system and method of forming a display from a sequence of blocks of pixel data includes intermediate storage of selected blocks of pixel data in sequence for subsequent selective access in the stored sequence. One or more accesses to a given block of pixel data from intermediate storage provides zoom expansion or compression of displayable images represented by the blocks of pixel data.
