Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus for data compression that includes representing each sub-pixel of each pixel with a pointer corresponding to an attribute of the sub-pixel, the attribute being a floating point binary number. An overall attribute of each pixel is then determined. The determining of the overall attribute of each tile may include any one of assigning the attribute of the sub-pixels to the overall attribute of the pixel when the sub-pixels are represented by an identical pointer, and resolving the overall attribute of the tile by the attributes of the sub-pixels when the sub-pixels are represented by non-identical pointers of the pixel.
