ABSTRACT:
A system for generating respective X and Y beam deflection command signals as respective running binary counts in X and Y deflection counters utilizing digital computations based on the straight line expressions Y=X tan .alpha., where .alpha. is the line slope. Relative clock rates are defined by the tan .alpha. relationship therebetween, and, by defining a line as lying in one of eight 45.degree. octants, and a circle as successive points of tangency of a plurality of lines tangent to the circle comprising circumferential segments in eight contiguous ones of the octants, the system effects generation of respective X and Y counts to trace a line of selected length and slope as well as a circle of selected radius utilizing but a single table of tangents for angles between 0.degree. and 45.degree. as the required data storage.
