A graphics integrated circuit chip is used in a set-top box for controlling a television display. The graphics chip processes analog video input, digital video input, a graphics input and an audio input simultaneously. The chip uses window descriptors to describe logical surfaces, or windows, of graphics information to be displayed on the screen. The chip incorporates a unified memory architecture that provides a high level of system performance while conserving memory bandwidth and chip size. Video and graphics scaling capabilities as well as anti-flutter filtering capability are provided.

The invention claimed is: 1. A graphics display system comprising: a data structure memory; a graphics processor for processing graphics images to be displayed on a display; a data structure stored in the data structure memory, the data structure for defining a corresponding one of a plurality of logical surfaces on which the graphics images are arranged, at least one of the graphics images including pixels of a single color, the data structure comprising: a field indicating a relative depth of the corresponding one of the logical surfaces; a field indicating a location of the corresponding one of the logical surfaces on the display; and a field indicating a color of the corresponding one of the logical surfaces, wherein the pixels for the graphics image including pixels of the single color are generated by the graphics processor using the color indicating field by applying the single color to the corresponding one of the logical surfaces. 2. The graphics display system of claim 1, wherein the data structure further comprises at least one of a field indicating an alpha value for the graphics image on the corresponding one of the logical surfaces, a field indicating a location in memory where the graphics image for the corresponding one of the logical surfaces is stored, or a field indicating a format of the graphics image to be displayed on the corresponding one of the logical surfaces. 3. The graphics display system of claim 2, wherein the format of the graphics image is any one selected from a group consisting of YUV, RGB, CLUT and alpha-only formats. 4. The graphics display system of claim 3, wherein the alpha-only format is a format in which the graphics image is represented in the memory by alpha values only. 5. The graphics display system of claim 1, further comprising a field indicating a method of selecting an alpha value for each pixel in the graphics image on the corresponding one of the logical surfaces. 6. The graphics display system of claim 5, wherein the alpha value for each pixel is selected using chroma keying, CLUT alpha values, luminance (Y) values or a window alpha value. 7. The graphics display system of claim 2, wherein the alpha value contained in the field indicating the alpha value is applied to pixels of the graphics image on the corresponding one of the logical surfaces. 8. A method of using a data structure to define a corresponding one of a plurality of logical surfaces on which graphics images are arranged, at least one of the graphics images including pixels of a single color, the method comprising: indicating, in the data structure, a relative depth of the corresponding one of the logical surfaces on a display with a first field; indicating, in the data structure, a location of the corresponding one of the logical surfaces on the display with a second field; indicating, in the data structure, a color of the corresponding one of the logical surfaces with a third field; and storing the data structure in a memory; providing at least one of the first, second, or third fields by the memory to a graphics processor; generating the pixels of the single color for the at least one of the graphics images by applying the single color to the corresponding one of the logical surfaces using the color specified in the data structure by the graphics processor. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising indicating in the data structure for the corresponding one of the logical surfaces, at least one of an alpha value for the graphics image, a location in memory where the graphics image is stored, or a format of the graphics image to be displayed. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the format of the graphics image is any one selected from a group consisting of YUV, RGB, CLUT and alpha-only formats. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the alpha-only format is a format in which the graphics image is represented in the memory by alpha values only. 12. The method of claim 8, further comprising indicating, in the data structure, a method of selecting an alpha value for each pixel in the graphics image on the corresponding one of the logical surfaces. 13. The method of claim 12, wherein the alpha value for each pixel is selected using chroma keying, CLUT alpha values, luminance (Y) values or a window alpha value. 14. The method of claim 9, further comprising applying the alpha value for the graphics image to pixels of the graphics image on the corresponding one of the logical surfaces. 15. The method of claim 8, generating the pixels of the single color for the at least one of the graphics images by applying the single color to the corresponding one of the logical surfaces using the color specified in the data structure by the graphics processor further comprises: generating the pixels of the single color for the at least one of the graphics images by applying the single color to the corresponding one of the logical surfaces using the color specified in the data structure, at the location specified in the data structure, and with the relative depth specified by the data structure by the graphics processor.
