The previous chapter has introduced basic objects and geometric transformations for two-dimensional computer graphics using the principles of vector graphics. As already mentioned in the introduction, drawing geometric objects in a raster graphics framework requires efficient algorithms. This chapter illustrates the basic problems and solutions in the context of drawing lines and curves within raster graphics.
