Abstract: In a method and system for controlling rotation of a color image stored as sub-sampled image data in a memory, a controller includes a finite state machine (FSM) operable to fetch the sub-sampled image data and provide the sub-sampled data as a plurality of pixels to form the color image having a predefined angle of rotation. The FSM provides a predefined address of sub-sampled image data describing the color image stored in the memory to an addressing unit. The addressing unit is operable to read twice the sub-sampled image data located at the predefined address. A memory device is operable to push each read instance of the sub-sampled image data. A pipeline controlled by the FSM is operable to pull and selectively read the sub-sampled image data from the memory device for generating the plurality of pixels.

Abstract: A method, comprising determining parameters for a first window and a second window on a display screen, said first window superimposed in front of the second window. The method further comprises determining which areas of the second window are not superimposed by the first window and dividing the areas into multiple portions, each portion abutting a separate side of the first window. For each of the portions, the method comprises fetching pixel data from a memory using an addressing mode suitable for said portion and displaying said pixel data on the display screen.
