slab
1. n. A continuous horizontal line of pixels, all with the same color. 2.
vi. To paint a slab on an output device. Apple's QuickDraw, like most other
professional-level graphics systems, renders polygons and lines not with
Bresenham's algorithm, but by calculating slab points for each scan line on
the screen in succession, and then slabbing in the actual image pixels.
