ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for efficiently filling an image on a display screen through hardware acceleration are provided. One exemplary device includes a display controller. The display controller includes image generation circuitry configured to generate an address and a color for each pixel of an image to be drawn on a display screen. The image generation circuitry includes pen width selection circuitry configured to identify and select coordinates of adjacent and non-overlapping sectors to an initial footprint of the image on the display screen to be drawn. The display controller includes data processing and selection circuitry configured to interface with a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory. The data processing and selection circuitry in communication with the image generation circuitry and configured to receive the address and the color for each pixel of the image. A system and methods for filling an image on a display screen are also provided.
