    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipping_(computer_graphics)

    Clipping, in the context of computer graphics, is a method to selectively enable or disable rendering operations within a defined region of interest. Mathematically, clipping can be described using the terminology of constructive geometry. A rendering algorithm only draws pixels in the intersection between the clip region and the scene model.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_blit

    The development of fast methods for various bit blit operations gave impetus to the evolution of computer displays from using character graphics to using raster graphics (bitmap) for everything. Machines that rely heavily on the performance of 2D graphics (such as video game consoles ) often have special-purpose circuitry called a blitter .
