ABSTRACT:
To rapidly draw straight lines and circular arcs of width 1 on a raster scan graphic display by determining whether or not the point, the X coordinate of which is incremented by 1 relative to the current point, and the point, the Y coordinate of which is incremented by 1 relative to the current point, are between the outlines f1 and f2 defining a straight line of width 1. If the point, the x coordinate of which is incremented by 1, is between the outlines f1 and f2, it is plotted and selected as the next pixel. If this is not the case, and the point, the y coordinate of which is incremented by 1, is between the outlines f1 and f2, it is plotted and selected as the next point. If neither point is between the outlines f1 and f2, the point, the x and y coordinates of which are incremented by 1, is plotted and selected as the next pixel.
