A method for creating a span-based multisample Z-buffer pixel processor in a computer graphics system to thereby reduce a quantity of data that must be stored for each pixel in a frame buffer thereof. By taking advantage of areal coherence, the quantity of data that must be stored in each pixel is reduced. By employing merging, the method is also able to ensure than pixel storage requirements do not grow beyond a predetermined limit.
