A method of processing received objects in a rendering system determines whether a detection scheme which already has grouped objects exits. The rendering system has a plurality of detection schemes, with each detection schemes having an associated object group type. If such a detection scheme does not exist and a previously received object has been stored, then the method determines in descending priority order whether one of the detection schemes is operative to group the received object with the previously received object. If it is determined that none of the detection schemes is operative to group the received object with the previously received object, then the previously received object is output for rendering the received object is stored. If it is determined that one of the detection schemes is operative to group the received object with the previously received object, then the received object is grouped with the previously received object.
