Abstract
The invention provides a method for integrating an inset geometry within a background geometry. The method comprises the step of identifying a perimeter of the inset geometry. A further step is extending a skirt, having an outer perimeter and an inner perimeter, from the perimeter of the inset geometry out over the background geometry. An additional step is removing portions of the background geometry that are covered by the inset geometry and skirt. Another step is modifying the skirt so that the outer perimeter of the skirt matches background geometry behavior and the inner perimeter matches inset geometry behavior and a continuous transition exists between the outer perimeter and the inner perimeter.

12. A method for integrating an inset geometry within a background geometry in a video graphics display system, comprising:
-
determining a perimeter geometry of the inset geometry;
defining a skirt geometry to match the perimeter geometry of the inset geometry and the skirt geometry extends out to the background geometry;
joining the geometry of the inset geometry to the skirt geometry to form a boundary region between the inset geometry and the skirt geometry;
covering the boundary region to prevent gaps from being exposed during display; and
displaying the inset geometry and skirt geometry within the background geometry. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)
