Smoothing of line segments on a computer display |
November 25, 2003 |
| The middle of line segments may be drawn on a computer display using an iterative method that reduces the number of calculations required. The process is repeated for each column. The first pixel is plotted according to a formula that allows the first pixel to best represent the location |
