Abstract
Methods and systems for enabling components of a computer graphics rasterization pipeline to be arbitrarily ordered are described. Various embodiments can permit a programmer to specify the order that the individual components of the rasterization pipeline are to be employed to process pixel or texel data. Various embodiments can also allow the temporary result of previous stages to be used in later stages for blending.
