Rasterization of lines in a polar pixel grid |
April 26, 2005 |
| A method of rasterizing a line on a display having pixels with locations defined by a polar coordinate system uses the sign of a discriminant to choose which of two candidate pixels is to be the next pixel on the rasterized line. The discriminant, which is derived from the desired line, |

Rasterization of lines in a cylindrical voxel grid |
December 3, 2002 |
| In a cylindrical coordinate system, the dominant direction of a line changes in a predictable manner. A rasterizer uses this fact to efficiently render a desired line on a volumetric display. It does do by determining whether first and second points on the desired line are on first a |
