Abstract
A process and implementing computer system for graphics applications in which polygons from a frame buffer, which may have three dimensional depth, color and other characteristics, are compactly reassembled and drawn to a fast memory for high speed and highly efficient processing. Polygons are divided into shaped segments which correspond to the shapes of the polygons. Corresponding memory storage references to the polygon objects themselves enable optimal processing efficiency and speed.
