ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for determining representative values for the chrominance components to be associated with a plurality of luminance components in a horizontally shrunken or stretched image for graphics controllers wherein display image data is stored in a buffer memory in a form associating a single set of U and V chrominance components with a plurality of Y luminance values. For a four to one shrinkage of an image in a format associating one set of chrominance components with four pixel luminance values wherein each pixel luminance value in the shrunken image initially has as associated set of chrominance components U.sub.0, U.sub.1, U.sub.2 and U.sub.3 and V.sub.0, V.sub.1, V.sub.2 and V.sub.3, the multiple values of the chrominance components are sequentially accumulated in a 3/4:1/4 ratio in such a manner as to provide an approximate average value for U and V for each set of four pixel luminance values in the shrunken image. Circuitry for processing the chrominance components making use of interpolation circuitry already used for interpolation between pixels for a stretched image is disclosed.
