Abstract
A system, method and program for merging objects for raster presentation are described. In response to receipt of an input data set including a plurality of objects intended for raster presentation, the system divides the data set into a plurality of scan regions and determines if a predetermined number of objects per scan line set is exceeded by the plurality of objects. In response to a determination that the predetermined number of objects per set of scan lines is exceeded, the system merges only a portion of a first object among the plurality of objects with at least a portion of a second object among the plurality of objects, where the portion of the first object and the portion of the second object are defined by a particular scan region among the plurality of scan regions.
