Zusammenfassung:Disclosed is a method (400) of generating an image (FIG. 5) of a scalable graphical object for reproduction on a display device (914,984). The method provides a pixel map (200) and a scaling factor (401), the map being a representation of at least of portion of the image with each pixel of the map corresponding to a pixel of the image and having a corresponding (220) pixel coverage representation (210). The method, for at least one pixel in the map, identifies (420) the pixel coverage representation associated with the pixel, and determines (430) a pixel coverage value (431) for the pixel using the pixel coverage representation and the scaling factor. The method then renders (460) the scalable graphical object using the determined pixel coverage value for the pixel on the display device.
