[Oberon] FPGA - Simple Graph Line

[Jörg]

Hi Tomas
I would discriminate the special case of horizontal/vertical lines...
And try to optimize your IF ELSIF structure..

Hi,
Talking about line drawing, I tried to parameterise the line algo below. I am surprised it takes more coding than circle.

  PROCEDURE Line*(col, x, y, x0, y0: INTEGER);
    VAR w, h, x1, y1, d, u: INTEGER;
  BEGIN
    w := x0-x; h := y0-y;
    IF (w >= 0) & (h >= 0) THEN (*north-east*) d := 1
    ELSIF (w < 0) & (h >= 0) THEN (*north-west*) d := -1; u := x0; x0 := x; x := u
    ELSIF (w >= 0) & (h < 0) THEN (*south-east*) d := -1; u := y0; y0 := y; y := u
    ELSIF (w < 0) & (h < 0) THEN (*south-west*) d := 1; u := x0; x0 := x; x := u; u := y0; y0 := y; y := u
    END ; w := ABS(w); h := ABS(h);
    IF h < w THEN
      x1 := x+w; u := (h-w) DIV 2;
      IF d = -1 THEN INC(y, h) END ;
      WHILE x < x1 DO
        D.Dot(col, x, y, D.replace); INC(x);
        IF u < 0 THEN INC(u, h) ELSE INC(u, h-w); INC(y, d) END
      END
    ELSE y1 := y+h; u := (w-h) DIV 2;
      IF d = -1 THEN INC(x, w) END ;
      WHILE y < y1 DO
        D.Dot(col, x, y, D.replace); INC(y);
        IF u < 0 THEN INC(u, w) ELSE INC(u, w-h); INC(x, d) END
      END
    END
  END Line;
