[comp.graphics] Line Drawing Algorithm

eephltn@gdr.bath.ac.uk (H L T Ng) (01/10/90)

In article <1551@aber-cs.UUCP> in comp.arch, pcg@aber-cs.UUCP said that
there is a line drawing algorithm to rasterize lines. The idea is to
break the line up to small section which is repeated over and over.
Hence, you just need to calculate this section and then copy it again
and again. He also said that this algorithm is developed around the same
thime as Brezenham's by a Belgian mathematician.

Does any one know the details of this algorithm ?

Thanks in advance !
