Rendering / Rasterization

Rasterization is a generic term that describes the conversion from a two-dimensional or three-dimensional vector representation to an x-y coordinate representation.

In the case of graphics cards (or printers), this process turns an image into points of colour. A rasterizer can be a 3D card, or it can be a printer for that matter
