  3. Line Drawing

  4. Line Drawing Draw a line on a raster screen between two points What’s wrong with statement of problem? doesn’t say anything about which points are allowed as endpoints doesn’t give a clear meaning of “draw” doesn’t say what constitutes a “line” in raster world doesn’t say how to measure success of proposed algorithms Problem Statement Given two points P and Q in XY plane, both with integer coordinates, determine which pixels on raster screen should be on in order to make picture of a unit-width line segment starting at P and ending at Q Scan Converting Lines

  5. Special case: Horizontal Line: Draw pixel P and increment x coordinate value by 1 to get next pixel. Vertical Line: Draw pixel P and increment y coordinate value by 1 to get next pixel. Diagonal Line: Draw pixel P and increment both x and y coordinate by 1 to get next pixel. What should we do in general case? => Fast - Digital differential analyzer (DDA) algorithm - Mid-point algorithm - Bresenham algorithm Finding next pixel:

  6. Scan Conversion of Line Segments • Start with line segment in window coordinates with integer values for endpoints • Assume implementation has a write_pixel function y = mx + h

  7. Basic Algorithm Find equation of line that connects two points P(x1,y1) and Q(x2,y2) Starting with leftmost point P, increment xi by 1 to calculate yi= m*xi+ h where m = slope, h = y intercept Draw pixel at (xi, Round(yi)) where Round (yi) = Floor (0.5 + yi)

  8. Strategy 1 – DDA Algorithm • Digital Differential Analyzer • DDA was a mechanical device for numerical solution of differential equations • Line y=mx+ h satisfies differential equation dy/dx = m = Dy/Dx = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1) • Along scan line Dx = 1 for(x=x1; x<=x2;x++) { y+=m; write_pixel(x, round(y), line_color); }

  9. Example Code // Incremental Line Algorithm // Assume x0 < x1 void Line(int x0, int y0, int x1, int y1) { int x, y; float dy = y1 – y0; float dx = x1 – x0; float m = dy / dx; y = y0; for (x = x0; x < x1; x++) { WritePixel(x, Round(y)); y = y + m; } }

  10. Problem • DDA = for each x plot pixel at closest y • Problems for steep lines

  11. Using Symmetry • Use for 1  m  0 • For m > 1, swap role of x and y • For each y, plot closest x

  12. Problem void Line(int x0, int y0, int x1, int y1) { int x, y; float dy = y1 – y0; float dx = x1 – x0; float m = dy / dx; y = y0; for (x = x0; x < x1; x++) { WritePixel(x, Round(y)); y = y + m; } } Rounding takes time

  13. Assume that line’s slope is shallow and positive (0 < slope < 1); other slopes can be handled by suitable reflections about principle axes Call lower left endpoint (x0, y0) and upper right endpoint (x1, y1) Assume that we have just selected pixel P at (xp, yp) Next, we must choose between pixel to right (E pixel) (xp+1, yp), or one right and one up (NE pixel) (xp+1, yp+1) Let Q be intersection point of line being scan-converted and vertical line x=xp+1 Strategy 2 – Midpoint Line Algorithm (1/3)

  14. Strategy 2 – Midpoint Line Algorithm (2/3) NE pixel Q Midpoint M E pixel Previous pixel Choices for current pixel Choices for next pixel

  15. Line passes between E and NE Point that is closer to intersection point Q must be chosen Observe on which side of line midpoint M lies: E is closer to line if midpoint M lies above line, i.e., line crosses bottom half NE is closer to line if midpoint M lies below line, i.e., line crosses top half Error (vertical distance between chosen pixel and actual line) is always <= ½ NE pixel Q M E pixel Strategy 2 – Midpoint Line Algorithm (3/3) • Algorithm chooses NE as next pixel for line shown • Now, need to find a way to calculate on which side of line midpoint lies

  16. Line equation as function f(x): Line equation as implicit function: for coefficients a, b, c, where a, b ≠ 0 from above, Properties (proof by case analysis): f(xm, ym) = 0 when any point M is on line f(xm, ym) < 0 when any point M is above line f(xm, ym) > 0 when any point M is below line Our decision will be based on value of function at midpoint M at (xp + 1, yp + ½) Line

  17. void MidpointLine(int x0, int y0, int x1, int y1) { int dx = x1 - x0; int dy = y1 - y0; int x = x0; int y = y0; float c = y0 * dx – dy * x0; writePixel(x, y); x++; while (x < x1) { d = dy * x – (y + 0.5) * dx + c; if (d > 0) { // Northeast Case y++; } writePixel(x, y); x++; } /* while */ }

  18. Decision Variable d: We only need sign of f(xp+ 1, yp + ½) to see where line lies, and then pick nearest pixel d = f(xp + 1, yp + ½) - if d > 0 choose pixel NE - if d < 0 choose pixel E - if d = 0 choose either one consistently How do we incrementally update d? On basis of picking E or NE, figure out location of M for that pixel, and corresponding value d for next grid line We can derive d for the next pixel based on our current decision Decision Variable

  19. Increment M by one in x direction dnew = f(xp + 2, yp + ½) = a(xp + 2) + b(yp + ½) + c dold = a(xp + 1)+ b(yp + ½)+ c dnew - dold is the incremental difference E dnew= dold+ a E= a = dy We can compute value of decision variable at next step incrementally without computing F(M) directly dnew= dold + E= dold+ dy E can be thought of as correction or update factor to take dold to dnew It is referred to as forward difference Strategy 3 – Bresenham algorithm If E was chosen:

  20. Increment M by one in both x and y directions dnew= F(xp + 2, yp + 3/2) = a(xp + 2)+ b(yp + 3/2)+ c NE = dnew – dold dnew = dold + a + b NE = a + b = dy – dx Thus, incrementally, dnew = dold + NE = dold + dy – dx If NE was chosen:

  21. At each step, algorithm chooses between 2 pixels based on sign of decision variable calculated in previous iteration. It then updates decision variable by adding either E or NE to old value depending on choice of pixel. Simple additions only! First pixel is first endpoint (x0, y0), so we can directly calculate initial value of d for choosing between E and NE. Summary (1/2)

  22. First midpoint for first d = dstartis at (x0 + 1, y0 + ½) f(x0 + 1, y0 + ½) = a(x0 + 1) + b(y0 + ½) + c = a * x0 + b * y0 + c + a + b/2 = f(x0, y0) + a + b/2 But (x0, y0) is point on line and f(x0, y0) = 0 Therefore, dstart = a + b/2 = dy – dx/2 use dstart to choose second pixel, etc. To eliminate fraction in dstart : redefine f by multiplying it by 2; f(x,y) = 2(ax + by + c) this multiplies each constant and decision variable by 2, but does not change sign Summary (2/2)

  23. Example Code void Bresenham(int x0, int y0, int x1, int y1) { int dx = x1 - x0; int dy = y1 - y0; int d = 2 * dy - dx; int incrE = 2 * dy; int incrNE = 2 * (dy - dx); int x = x0; int y = y0; writePixel(x, y); while (x < x1) { if (d <= 0) { // East Case d = d + incrE; } else { // Northeast Case d = d + incrNE; y++; } x++; writePixel(x, y); } /* while */ } /* MidpointLine */

  24. Drawing Circles

  25. Bresenham’s Circle Algorithm • Circle Equation • (x-xc)2 + (y- yc)2 = R2 • Problem simplifying • Making the circle origin (xc, yc) in the coordinate origin • Symmetry points(y,x), (y,-x),(x,-y),(-x,-y),(-y,-x),(-y,x),(-x,y)

  26. Scan Converting Circles (0, 17) (0, 17) (17, 0) (17, 0) Version 1: really bad For x = – R to R y = sqrt(R *R – x *x); Pixel (round(x), round(y)); Pixel (round(x), round(-y)); Version 2: slightly less bad For x = 0 to 360 Pixel (round (R • cos(x)), round(R • sin(x)));

  27. Suppose circle origin is (xc,yc), radius is R. Let D(x, y) = (x-xc)2+(y-yc)2–R2 If point(x,y) is outside the circle, D(x,y)>0。 If point(x,y) is inside the circle, D(x,y)<0。 (xc, yc)

  28. (xi, yi) (xi+1, yi) (xi+1, yi-1) (xi, yi-1) (xi, yi) (xi+1, yi) (xi+1, yi-1) (xi, yi-1) Bresenham’s Circle Algorithm Two choice: (xi+1, yi) or (xi+1, yi-1)

  29. Use Symmetry (x0 + a, y0 + b) R (x0, y0) (x-x0)2 + (y-y0)2 = R2 • Symmetry: If (x0 + a, y0 + b) is on circle • also (x0± a, y0± b) and (x0± b, y0± a); hence 8-way symmetry. • Reduce the problem to finding the pixels for 1/8 of the circle

  30. Scan top right 1/8 of circle of radius R Circle starts at (x0, y0 + R) Let’s use another incremental algorithm with decision variable evaluated at midpoint Using the Symmetry (x0, y0)

  31. x = x0; y = y0 + R; Pixel(x, y); for (x = x0+1; (x – x0) < (y – y0); x++) { if (decision_var < 0) { /* move east */ update decision_var; } else { /* move south east */ update decision_var; y--; } Pixel(x, y); } Sketch of Incremental Algorithm E SE

  32. Decision variable negative if we move E, positive if we move SE (or vice versa). Follow line strategy: Use implicit equation of circle f(x,y) = x2 + y2 – R2 = 0 f(x,y) is zero on circle, negative inside, positive outside If we are at pixel (x, y) examine (x + 1, y) and (x + 1, y – 1) Compute f at the midpoint What we need for Incremental Algorithm

  33. Decision Variable Evaluate f(x,y) = x2 + y2 – R2 at the point We are asking: “Is positive or negative?” (it is zero on circle) If negative, midpoint inside circle, choose E vertical distance to the circle is less at (x + 1, y) than at (x + 1, y–1). If positive, opposite is true, choose SE æ ö 1 + - ç ÷ x 1 , y 2 è ø 2 æ ö æ ö 1 1 + - = + + - - 2 2 ç ÷ ç ÷ f x 1 , y ( x 1 ) y R 2 ø è 2 ø è E P = (xp, yp) M ME SE MSE

  34. Decision based on vertical distance Ok for lines, since d and dvertare proportional For circles, not true: Which d is closer to zero? (i.e. which of the two values below is closer to R): The right decision variable? + = + + - 2 2 d (( x 1 , y ), Circ ) ( x 1 ) y R + - = + + - - 2 2 d (( x 1 , y 1 ), Circ ) ( x 1 ) ( y 1 ) R + + + + - 2 2 2 2 ( x 1 ) y or ( x 1 ) ( y 1 )

  35. We could ask instead: “Is (x + 1)2 + y2 or (x + 1)2 + (y – 1)2 closer to R2?” The two values in equation above differ by Alternate Phrasing (1/3) + + - + + - = - 2 2 2 2 [( x 1 ) y ] [( x 1 ) ( y 1 ) ] 2 y 1 (0, 17) fE = 12 + 172 = 290 (1, 17) E fSE = 12 + 162 = 257 (1, 16) SE fE – fSE = 290 – 257 = 33 2y – 1 = 2(17) – 1 = 33

  36. The second value, which is always less, is closer if its difference from R2 is less than i.e., if then so so so Alternate Phrasing (2/3) æ ö 1 - ç ÷ ( 2 y 1 ) 2 è ø - + + - 2 2 2 R [( x 1 ) ( y 1 ) ] 1 - y ( 2 1 ) < 2 1 2 2 2 < - + + + - - 0 y ( x 1 ) ( y 1 ) R 2 1 2 2 2 < + + - + + - - 0 ( x 1 ) y 2 y 1 y R 2 1 2 2 2 < + + - + - 0 ( x 1 ) y y R 2 2 æ ö 1 1 < + + - + - 2 2 ç ÷ 0 ( x 1 ) y R è 2 ø 4

  37. The radial distance decision is whether is positive or negative And the vertical distance decision is whether is positive or negative; d1 and d2 are apart. The integer d1 is positive only if d2 + is positive (except special case where d2 = 0). Alternate Phrasing (3/3) 2 æ ö 1 1 = + + - + - 2 2 ç ÷ d 1 ( x 1 ) y R 2 4 è ø 2 æ ö 1 = + + - - 2 2 ç ÷ d 2 ( x 1 ) y R 2 è ø

  38. How to compute the value of at successive points? Answer: Note that is just and that is just Incremental Computation, Again 2 æ ö 1 = + + - - 2 2 ç ÷ f ( x , y ) ( x 1 ) y R 2 è ø + - f ( x 1 , y ) f ( x , y ) D = + ( x , y ) 2 x 3 E + - - f x y f x y ( 1 , 1 ) ( , ) D = + - + ( x , y ) 2 x 3 2 y 2 SE (1/2)

  39. If we move E, update by adding 2x + 3 If we move SE, update by adding 2x + 3 – 2y + 2. Forward differences of a 1st degree polynomial are constants and those of a 2nd degree polynomial are 1st degree polynomials this “first order forward difference,” like a partial derivative, is one degree lower Incremental Computation(2/2) F F’ F’’

  40. The function is linear, hence amenable to incremental computation, viz: Similarly D = + ( x , y ) 2 x 3 E D + - D = ( x 1 , y ) ( x , y ) 2 E E D + - - D = ( x 1 , y 1 ) ( x , y ) 2 E E D + - D = ( x 1 , y ) ( x , y ) 2 SE SE D + - - D = ( x 1 , y 1 ) ( x , y ) 4 SE SE Second Differences(1/2)

  41. For any step, can compute new ΔE(x, y) from old ΔE(x, y) by adding appropriate second constant increment – update delta terms as we move. This is also true of ΔSE(x, y) Having drawn pixel (a,b), decide location of new pixel at (a + 1, b) or (a + 1, b – 1), using previously computed d(a, b). Having drawn new pixel, must update d(a, b) for next iteration; need to find either d(a + 1, b) or d(a + 1, b – 1) depending on pixel choice Must add ΔE(a, b)or ΔSE(a, b) to d(a, b) So we… Look at d(i) to decide which to draw next, update x and y Update d using ΔE(a,b) or ΔSE(a,b) Update each of ΔE(a,b) and ΔSE(a,b) for future use Draw pixel Second Differences(2/2)

  42. Bresenham’s Eighth Circle Algorithm void MEC (int R) /* 1/8th of a circle w/ radius R */ { int x = 0, y = R; int delta_E, delta_SE; float decision; delta_E = 2*x + 3; delta_SE = 2*(x-y) + 5; decision = (x+1)*(x+1) + (y - 0.5)*(y - 0.5) –R*R; Pixel(x, y); while( y > x ) { if (decision < 0) {/* Move east */ decision += delta_E; delta_E += 2; delta_SE += 2; /*Update delta*/ } else {/* Move SE */ y--; decision += delta_SE; delta_E += 2; delta_SE += 4; /*Update delta*/} x++; Pixel(x, y); } }

  43. Uses floats! 1 test, 3 or 4 additions per pixel Initialization can be improved Multiply everything by 4 No Floats! Makes the components even, but sign of decision variable remains same Questions Are we getting all pixels whose distance from the circle is less than ½? Why is y > x the right stopping criterion? What if it were an ellipse? Analysis

  44. Equation is i.e, Computation of and is similar Only 4-fold symmetry When do we stop stepping horizontally and switch to vertical? 2 2 x y + = 1 2 2 a b + = 2 2 2 2 2 2 b x a y a b D D SE E Aligned Ellipses

  45. When absolute value of slope of ellipse is more than 1, viz: How do you check this? At a point (x,y) for which f(x,y) = 0, a vector perpendicular to the level set is f(x,y) which is This vector points more right than up when Ñ é ù ¶ ¶ f f ( x , y ), ( x , y ) ê ú ¶ ¶ x y ë û ¶ ¶ f f - > ( x , y ) ( x , y ) 0 ¶ ¶ x y Direction Changing Criterion (1/2)

  47. Patterned primitives Non-integer primitives General conics Other Scan Conversion Problems

  48. Patterned line from P to Q is not same as patterned line from Q to P. Patterns can be geometric or cosmetic Cosmetic: Texture applied after transformations Geometric: Pattern subject to transformations Cosmetic patterned line Geometric patterned line Patterned Lines Q P Q P
