Consider a line from (0,0) to (5,5). Rasterize the line using Bresenham line drawing algorithm.

We have been given the start points and endpoints of a line.


X0 = 0

Y0 = 0


The first step in Bresenham's Line Drawing Algorithm is to find the value of ΔX and ΔY.


ΔX = 5

ΔY = 5


The initial decision parameter is given by 2ΔY - ΔX = 10 - 5 = 5.


Since the decision parameter is positive, the next value of X and Y is calculated as

X = X+1 = 0+1 = 1

Y = Y+1 = 0+1 = 1

P = P+(2ΔY - ΔX) = 5+5 = 10


Again since the decision parameter is positive, X and Y are calculated as:

X = X+1 = 1+1 = 2

Y = Y+1 = 1+1 = 2

P = P+(2ΔY - ΔX) = 10+5 = 15


Again since the decision parameter is positive, X and Y are calculated as:

X = X+1 = 2+1 = 3

Y = Y+1 = 2+1 = 3

P = P+(2ΔY - ΔX) = 15+5 = 20


Again since the decision parameter is positive, X and Y are calculated as:

X = X+1 = 3+1 = 4

Y = Y+1 = 3+1 = 4

P = P+(2ΔY - ΔX) = 20+5 = 25


Again since the decision parameter is positive, X and Y are calculated as:

X = X+1 = 4+1 = 5

Y = Y+1 = 4+1 = 5

P = P+(2ΔY - ΔX) = 25+5 = 30


Since this is the end point, we terminate our algorithm here. Let us draw the line we have rasterized.
