Abstract

By much the same methodology as is employed in algorithms which generate a quantized representation of a straight line, incremental algorithms using only addition/subtraction and sign testing can generate a close approximation of a circular arc. Several mathematical measures of ‘closeness’ to the true circle can be defined. Discussed will be closeness measures of function residue or squared error, normal deviation or radial error, and rounded or axial intercept error as they apply to both a tri-directional and a bi-directional algorithm for pel by pel generation of a quantized circular arc.
