Abstract
A method which evaluates each sequence of pixels provided in a polygon to determine whether the pixels vary linearly, selects sequences of adjacent pixels which vary linearly, determines a processing factor for the sequence of pixels, processes only every one of a selected number of pixels of the sequence, and interpolates the data for pixels of the sequence between the processed pixels after the processed pixels have been processed.
