1. A method for generating pixels for a display device, the method comprising: receiving graphics data; rendering a plurality of samples into a sample buffer in response to said graphics data; and filtering said plurality of samples to generate one or more pixels, wherein said filtering comprises: (a) reading said plurality of samples from the sample buffer; (b) determining filter coefficients for a subset of said plurality of samples; (c) multiplying a first sample attribute of each sample in said subset by a corresponding one of said filter coefficients to generate first weighted sample attributes; (d) adding the first weighted sample attributes to generate a first weighted attribute sum; (e) computing a normalization factor by adding the filter coefficients which correspond to said subset of samples; (f) dividing the first weighted attribute sum by said normalization factor to generate a first pixel attribute for a first of said one or more pixels.
