Lines less than one pixel long are handled as a special case. An extension to the algorithm for circle drawing was presented by Xiaolin Wu in the book Graphics Gems II . Just as the line drawing algorithm is a replacement for Bresenham's line drawing algorithm, the circle drawing algorithm is a replacement for Bresenham's circle drawing algorithm.
Julian Beever (born c. 1959) is a British sidewalk chalk artist [1] who has been creating trompe-l'œil chalk drawings on pavement surfaces since the mid-1990s. He uses a projection technique called anamorphosis to create the illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the correct angle.
