Will you please provide me a reference to help me understand how scanline based rendering engines works?
I want to implement a 2D rendering engine which can support region-based clipping, basic shape drawing and filling with anti aliasing, and basic transformations (Perspective, Rotation, Scaling). I need algorithms which give priority to performance rather than quality because I want to implement it for embedded systems with no fpu.

    I’m probably showing my age, but I still love my copy of Foley, Feiner, van Dam, and Hughes (The White Book).

    Jim Blinn had a great column that’s available as a book called Jim Blinn’s Corner: A Trip Down the Graphics Pipeline.

    Both of these are quited dated now, and aside from the principles of 3D geometry, they’re not very useful for programming today’s powerful pixel pushers.

    OTOH, they’re probably just perfect for an embedded environment with no GPU or FPU!
