Abstract
This graphics system has a geometric sub-system that does not have to take into consideration memory resources for the raster sub-system of the graphics system. The graphics system sequentially receives from a host computer system data sets that define a graphic object and downloads texture data for graphics from the host computer system, so that geometric processing and rasterization are performed on the graphic object for display on a computer screen.
