Abstract

A method is described that involves redefining a primitive surface to create a redefined primitive surface. The redefining involves clipping a first edge of the primitive surface to a second edge of a displayable screen area. The first edge of the primitive surface extends outside a guard band region prior to the clipping. The guard band region surrounds the displayable screen area. The clipping causes the redefined primitive surface to have an edge running within the guard band that the primitive surface does not have.
