It continues to frustrate me that no one seems to have a better name for this process than "rasterization". It frustrates me because that word very clearly seems to say "turning non-raster data into rasters". This process does this, but so does ray-tracing. For that matter, various algorithms for turning 2d vector data into 2d raster data would also seem to be covered by "rasterization", like filling triangles with scanlines, or the like. Just another lost battle, I suppose.
