LINEAR DRAWING

摘要

For efficiently drawing wide lines in a graphics display system, a method and apparatus are disclosed which identify a wide line to be drawn; draw a first line of pixels of the wide line; determine if a next pixel line in the wide line has a different first coordinate value from a first coordinate value of the first line; generate at least one additional pixel value for the next line if the first coordinate value of the next line is different from the first coordinate value of an immediately previously drawn line; this being repeated until the wide line has been completely drawn.
