1. A computer-based method for processing vector-based information for an image, comprising: identifying a first subset of one or more pixels from a set of pixels comprising the image, where the first subset comprises one or more pixels used in a raster representation of an element in the image; and performing a first operation in parallel for the respective one or more pixels in the first subset, using a computer-based processor, where the first operation comprises at least a first portion of a function for generating an image pixel value used to represent the element in the image.
