  2. Line drawing algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_drawing_algorithm

    A simple way to parallelize single-color line rasterization is to let multiple line-drawing algorithms draw offset pixels of a certain distance from each other. [2] Another method involves dividing the line into multiple sections of approximately equal length, which are then assigned to different processors for rasterization. The main problem ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_characters

    Box-drawing characters, also known as line-drawing characters, are a form of semigraphics widely used in text user interfaces to draw various geometric frames and boxes. These characters are characterized by being designed to be connected horizontally and/or vertically with adjacent characters, which requires proper alignment.

  9. Xiaolin Wu's line algorithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiaolin_Wu's_line_algorithm

    The algorithm consists of drawing pairs of pixels straddling the line, each coloured according to its distance from the line. Pixels at the line ends are handled separately. 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 ...
