We study the problem of the generation and tr/nansfer of spectral line intensity and po-/nlarization in models of stellar atmospheres with horizontal plasma inhomogeneities. We solve the/nnon-LTE radiative transfer problem in full 3D geometry taking into account resonant scattering/npolarization and its modification by magnetic fields via the Hanle effect. We show that horizon-/ntal fluctuations of the thermodynamical conditions of stellar atmospheres can have a significant/nimpact on the linear polarization of the emergent spectral line radiation and its center-to-limb variation.
