Abstract

An on-screen display with variable resolution capability permits respective parts of a screen to be processed according to their respective resolution requirements. For any active window in the on-screen display, the data format used in memory to represent the pixels of that window can be determined, thereby permitting the window resolution to vary from window to window.
