Abstract
Disclosed is a method, system, and logic for processing pixel data. A first and second logic units each receive line work data and control data for pixels on a sheet from at least one object. The control data for one pixel indicates whether to use the line work data for the pixel or contone data for the pixel. Multiple objects may provide line work data and control data for a same pixel. The first and second logic units output control data indicating to use contone data or line work data for the pixel. A third logic unit receives the line work and control data outputted from the first and second logic units. The third logic unit then outputs control data indicating to use the contone data or line work data for the pixel.
