ABSTRACT:
A graphics display system digital vector generator system includes three position vector generators generating position information for each of three different pixel location dimensions and three visual characteristic vector generators operating synchronously with the position vector generators to generate dynamic intensity information for three different dimensions of visual characteristics. Optical processing of visual characteristic vectors includes normalization to generate Phong shading intensity vectors, pattern shape generation, and mixing of hue and intensity information with selectable resolution to obtain a desired visual characteristic pixel data representation.
