1. A computer-implemented method of defining bounding boxes for a primitive in a tile-based graphics processing pipeline, the primitive comprising a plurality of vertices, the method comprising:
determining at least one part-way point on the primitive, wherein, for each pair of vertices, at least one of the part-way points is part-way between that pair of vertices; and
defining a plurality of bounding boxes, wherein each bounding box intersects at least one of the part-way points.
