Rendering

<graphics, text> The conversion of a high-level object-based description into a graphical image for display.

For example, ray-tracing takes a mathematical model of a three-dimensional object or scene and converts it into a bitmap image.

Another example is the process of converting HTML into an image for display to the user.
