Abstract
An improved image data processing architecture utilizes a negotiation protocol with an information push technique to provide a more efficient and effective image data rendering pipeline. The improved image data processing architecture allows the optimization of data transfer through the use of image transfer parameters and flags. In another aspect of the invention, a selection mechanism is provided to allow a client application to easily select an image frame as the current frame in a multi-dimensional image. Image sinks within the invention may further support non-blocking behavior.
