Introduction • Scan Conversion: It is a process of representing graphics objects a collection of pixels.
• Rasterization: It is the technique of taking an image
described in a vector graphics format and transform it into a set of pixels for output on a screen.
• Rendering: It is the process of generating a photorealistic or
non-photorealistic image from a 2D or 3D model by means of a computer program. The resulting image is referred to as the render. Graphics Display Devices • Interactive Devices: – Joystick.
