Abstract
A graphics processing system is provided. The graphics processing system includes a front end module for receiving pixel data. A setup unit is coupled to the front end module and generates parameter coefficients. A raster unit is coupled to the setup unit and generates stepping information. A virtual texturing array engine textures and colors the pixel data based on the parameter coefficients and stepping information. Also provided is a pixel engine adapted for processing the textured and colored pixel data received from the virtual texturing array engine.
