Were Vector monitors capable of filling any objects?

Were Vector monitors capable of filling any objects? If a raster scan has enough time to fill an entire screen in 1/60th of a second, couldn't a vector monitor do roughly the same?

 

Couldn't you set up your vector monitor to scan ever smaller "concentric rings" inside an object, until you got down to one pixel, in order to fill it? So you'd still see scanlines, of a sort, only they would be shaped like the object and not horizontal.

 

What sort of unique graphics and artwork could we have seen if vector monitor technology was allowed to develop further before being abandoned?

The vectrex homebrew game 'Debris' (and others from here) abandons the vector goodness a bit.

It's neat to see something different, but it's kind of dropping vectrex's #1 feature:

That's all sorts of crazy right there. It's amazing they could do that on the Vectrex, but yeah, it kinda defeats the point OF the vectrex.

The Atari arcade game Quantum also filled in some objects.
