摘要: In a graphics processing pipeline, unit establishes bounding box around polygon in order to identify sample points that are covered by the polygon. For given point included within box, constructs set of lines intersect at point, where each line is parallel least one side When all vertices reside on lines, may reduce size exclude point.
