[comp.graphics] Antialiased line in microcode/hardware

myers@utcsri.UUCP (Brad A. Myers) (11/12/86)

A friend needs to implement anti-aliased lines in microcode and/or
hardware.  Can anyone point me to published algorithms?  I seem to remember
one from Waterloo.  The background will be a fixed color and the intersection
of two lines is irrelevent.

Thanks,
