The scanline algorithm as described on wikipedia for instance is concerned with generating the pixels in order, lefttoright and toptobottom, with each pixel needing to be touched only once.
This is not the only way to render triangles, and if youve written any software rendering code in the past, chances are good that you used a scanline rasterization approach instead.
