[comp.graphics] How to draw rotated parabola???

marks@galadriel.bt.co.uk (Mark Shackleton RT4341) (07/11/90)

Does anyone know an incremental algorithm for drawing parabolas rotated
by an arbitrary angle theta about the origin? I have in mind a scheme
a la Bresenham which avoids redrawing pels and costly calculations.
In case it helps, my parab. is given by 'y=a*(1 - x^2/b^2)' + rotation.

Any general pseudo-code or even better 'C' code would be much appreciated,
otherwise references to appropriate algorithms would be the next best
thing.

Thanks in aticipation, Mark.
