The **raster mark** renders a [raster image](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raster_graphics)—that is, an image formed by discrete pixels in a grid, not a vector graphic like other marks. And whereas the [image mark](./image.md) shows an *existing* image, the raster mark *creates* one from abstract data, either by [interpolating spatial samples](#spatial-interpolators) (arbitrary points in **x** and **y**) or by sampling a continuous function *f*(*x*,*y*) along the grid.
