  2. Midpoint circle algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midpoint_circle_algorithm

    A circle of radius 23 drawn by the Bresenham algorithm. In computer graphics, the midpoint circle algorithm is an algorithm used to determine the points needed for rasterizing a circle. It is a generalization of Bresenham's line algorithm. The algorithm can be further generalized to conic sections. [1] [2] [3]

  4. Computer graphics (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_graphics...

    Computer graphics is a sub-field of computer science which studies methods for digitally synthesizing and manipulating visual content. Although the term often refers to the study of three-dimensional computer graphics, it also encompasses two-dimensional graphics and image processing.

  5. Line drawing algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_drawing_algorithm

    Two rasterized lines. The colored pixels are shown as circles. Above: monochrome screening; below: Gupta-Sproull anti-aliasing; the ideal line is considered here as a surface. In computer graphics, a line drawing algorithm is an algorithm for approximating a line segment on discrete graphical media, such as pixel-based displays and printers.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_geometry

    Computational geometry is a branch of computer science devoted to the study of algorithms which can be stated in terms of geometry.Some purely geometrical problems arise out of the study of computational geometric algorithms, and such problems are also considered to be part of computational geometry.

  9. Circular layout - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_layout

    Circular layouts are a good fit for communications network topologies such as star or ring networks, [1] and for the cyclic parts of metabolic networks. [2] For graphs with a known Hamiltonian cycle, a circular layout allows the cycle to be depicted as the circle, and in this way circular layouts form the basis of the LCF notation for Hamiltonian cubic graphs.
