Abstract
A system and method for generating a image, where the image comprises both a graphical user interface (GUI) and a subject graphics image. A first graphics pipeline renders the subject graphics image. A second graphics pipeline renders the GUI graphics data. A compositor then composites together the rendered subject graphics data that is produced by the first graphics pipeline, and the rendered GUI graphics data that is produced by the second graphics pipeline.
