Scan converting a point refers to the process of determining which pixel on a raster display should be illuminated or assigned specific attributes to represent the given point Since a point has no spatial extent scan converting a point involves choosing a single pixel location to represent it The process of scan converting a point is relatively straightforward The coordinates of the point are usually given in terms of the x and y positions on the display The pixel corresponding to the nearest integer values of the point's coordinates is typically selected to represent the point In some cases rounding
