Abstract: A method for rendering data of a display image for a display unit includes rendering the data of the display image using at least one shader unit, where the at least one shader unit is represented by an effect graph that has a structure and is representative of at least one graphical effect of the shader unit on the data of the display image as input data for generating output data. The method also includes adjusting, during the rendering, the shader unit dynamically and in real time by conditionally changing the structure and/or a topology of the effect graph based on a status of the display unit.

Abstract: In order to represent an item of three-dimensional graphical information on a display device, in particular of a vehicle, a method calculates a first item of two-dimensional graphical information for at least one first area of the display device from the three-dimensional information using a graphics processor, The display device represents the three-dimensional information in a two-dimensional manner. A second item of two-dimensional graphical information is calculated for at least one second area of the display device from the three-dimensional information using a universal processor. The second area is part of the first area.

Abstract: A method, and corresponding device, are provided to generate a graphic effect, in particular for a plurality of electronic devices. Them method determines the graphic content in which the graphic effect is to be used; calculates the graphic effect; generates a platform-independent model of the calculated graphic effect during run time; compiles the platform-independent model into a platform-dependent representation of the graphic effect; and displays the platform-dependent representation of the graphic effect on a display device.
