rasterisation

It is, however, a generally less well developed technique than standard polygon-based rasterisation schemes.

Being a vector/curve based format, any rendering resolution can be attained (by rasterisation) with equal accuracy from one relatively small set of data.

The term "rasterisation" in general can be applied to any process by which vector information can be converted into a raster format.

Clipping (in rasterisation)

She programmed for QuickDraw 3D, an early rasterisation API.

This is because there is no motivation for modifying the techniques for rasterisation used at render time and a special-purpose system allows for high efficiency.

Geometry shaders replace a part of the geometry stage subsequent to Primitive Assembly stage and prior to Rasterisation.

For many purposes, such as layout, it doesn't matter what the outline data format is, but for some purposes, such as rasterisation, it is significant.

Dr Karow's Digital Formats for Typefaces is a good introduction to the Ikarus representation, and the challenge of rasterisation in general.

Since 3D graphics hardware accelerators have become popular in regular desktop computers the rendering algorithm of commercial computer games has been limited to the rasterisation technology that has certain advantages, but also limitations.

When a group of vertices (normally 3, to form a triangle) come through the vertex shader, their output position is interpolated to form pixels within its area; this process is known as rasterisation.

The OpenRT project includes a highly optimized software core for ray tracing along with an OpenGL-like API in order to offer an alternative to the current rasterisation based approach for interactive 3D graphics.

Clarifying difference in strengths between Photoshop and Illustrator with the rise of the Internet, Illustrator was enhanced to support Web publishing, Rasterisation previewing, Portable Document Format, and Scalable Vector Graphics.

Raster image processors (RIPs) are used to convert PDF files into a raster format suitable for imaging onto paper and other media in printers, digital production presses and prepress in a process known as rasterisation.

The Generic Mapping Tools (GMT) are an open-source collection of computer software tools for processing and displaying xy and xyz datasets, including rasterisation, filtering and other image processing operations, and various kinds of map projections.

But as printer mechanisms fell in price, the cost of implementing PS became too great a fraction of overall printer cost; in addition, with desktop computers becoming more powerful, it no longer made sense to offload the rasterisation work onto the resource-constrained printer.
