ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for rasterizing a geometric shape. A rasterizer is outfitted with a counter. The counter is started in the rasterizer and a geometric shape is rasterized in the rasterizer while the counter is counting. One or more signals are output from the rasterizer to indicate that a predetermined rasterization time for the geometric shape has been exceeded if the counter reaches a target count before rasterization of the geometric shape is completed.
