Abstract

A page may be divided into several blocks which do not span the entire width of a page. A bit map representing the page content may be generated by rendering the display lists representing the blocks. According to another aspect, a display list may be generated associated with a big portion of a page. The big portion may be divided into smaller portions at/before rendering, and bit maps may be generated for the smaller portions.
