  • Method and apparatus for an adaptive texture mapping controller
    Patent number: 5812141
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for computer graphics system users or other functions in a graphical display system, to trade off object image rendering speed for object image texture quality. This trade-off is accomplished by providing control signals to the adaptive texture mapping controller which indicate the level of texture quality that the user or other function desires. Upon recognizing these control signals, the adaptive texture mapping controller selects a computation method to be used in generating pixel values necessary to provide the desired level of image texture quality.
