Raster Image Processor

RIP structure and functions

Dynamic mapping can be considered as digital pro-active mapping, which is sufficiently well integrated to be presented via a single interface, or manipulated by a single program. The purpose for exploring spatial data via dynamic mapping is to reveal unknowns and is typically accomplished via a high degree of human interaction; animation is frequently an important component of data exploration. But standalone spatial data exploration is also possible.

The vector image is convert by a Raster Image Processor (software or hardware) to be readable for the printer. While the raster image can be directly read by the printer.
