发明名称 Method and apparatus for determining line positions for display and manipulation by a computer system
摘要 A circuit for determining the X values of each end of a series of horizontal scan lines connecting a pair of line segments each of which is defined by a pair of vertices, the horizontal scan lines defining an area to be rendered on a computer output device, comprising first and second circuit portions, each of said circuit portions including apparatus to determine the slope of a line segment, apparatus depending on the slope for determining the beginning and ending X values for each line segment for each scan line in the area to be rendered, apparatus for causing the two circuit portions to begin operation at the same scan line, and apparatus for changing the Y value for each circuit portion to the Y value of the next adjacent scan line at the same time.
