Abstract
A page description language representation of the page is received, the page description language representation having a plurality of sequential graphic objects ordered by drawing order. One or more groups of sequentially adjacent graphic objects of the plurality of sequential objects is formed according to the drawing order. An intermediate representation for each of the groups is generated, the intermediate representation comprising a set of regions where each region of the set of regions is associated with a set of operations required to render at least one of the adjacent graphic objects of one of the groups that intersect the region. An adjacently located set of the intermediate representations is merged to render the page.
