First Claim
Patent Images
1. A printing system comprising:
- a first rendering processor; and
a partition-renderer scheduler for associating a first graphic-list partition with said first rendering processor based on a partition characteristic of said first graphic-list partition, wherein said first graphic-list partition comprises a partition type, a rendering-order indicator indicating the placement of said first graphic-list partition in a rendering sequence, a processor indicator indicating at least one rendering processor which may be used to render said first graphic-list partition, and a partition body comprising a plurality of graphic-list elements.
