Abstract
A method and system for generating a graphical display from data describing at least one three-dimensional object is disclosed. The method and system include providing a plurality of processors and a single interpolator coupled with the plurality of processors. Each of the processors receive a portion of the data for one of the three-dimensional object(s), determine if a current position is located within the portion of the data, and provide an output if the current position is located within the portion of the data. The single interpolator is configured to provide information relating to characteristics of the portion of the data in the processor in response to the processor providing the output.
