ABSTRACT:
System and method for pixel processing using a limited set of equations modified by coefficients stored in tables. The invention provides a method for implementing the wide range of functions required by graphics processing without increasing the code size and without increased function call overhead. Each function is specified in terms of variables and coefficients. Different tests for each function are used to select the coefficients for that function. Coefficients are maintained in tables that can be easily accessed without function call overhead.
