A method for the autostereoscopic representation of images on a display screen includes the steps of selecting a view mode from a plurality of pre-defined view modes; creating a channel mask that defines a number N of channels per segment of the optical plate, wherein N is larger than or equal to the number of views in the selected view mode; providing a texture for each of the N channels; correlating each screen pixel with at least one texture by reference to the channel mask; applying an allocation algorithm for allocating the total of the image information to be displayed at a time to at least two textures such that each texture includes the information for one view.
