The scan line algorithm processes polygon vertices to determine the endpoints of line segments needed for rendering. It calculates the maximum and minimum y-values from the vertices and iterates through each scan line to find active edges, determining the corresponding x-values. Finally, it draws horizontal lines between the calculated x-values for each scan line within the polygon's bounds.
