METHOD FOR DETERMINING WEIGHTING FACTORS FOR THE COLOR CALCULATION OF A COLOR VALUE OF TEXELS FOR A FOOTPRINT

In a method for determining weighting factors for the color calculation of a color value of texels for a footprint covering a plurality of texels in a texel grid, in a graphic system, form information of the footprint is determined at first. Afterwards, the edges of the footprint are determined and the edges determined in this way are approximated by a staircase function. The texels of the texel grid contacted by the staircase function are determined and a weighting factor is determined for each texel containing a portion of the staircase function, depending on the subarea of the respective texel covered by the footprint.
