Questions and Answers

What is the midpoint algorithm used for?

  • Rasterizing circles on a computer screen.
  • Rasterizing lines on a computer screen. (correct)
  • Rasterizing polygons on a computer screen.
  • Rasterizing images on a computer screen.
  • What does the midpoint algorithm assume about the line being rasterized?

  • It has a negative slope
  • It has a positive slope (correct)
  • It has a zero slope
  • It is a curved line
  • What is a key advantage of the midpoint algorithm?

  • It uses floating-point calculations for increased accuracy.
  • It can only be used for lines with positive slopes.

  • It uses only integer arithmetic and is efficient. (correct)
  • Study Notes

    • The midpoint algorithm is for rasterizing lines on a computer screen.
    • It calculates the coordinates of pixels the line intersects.
    • It assumes the line has a positive slope.
    • It can be modified for lines with negative slopes.
    • The algorithm calculates the difference in x and y coordinates.
    • It initializes the decision parameter d.
    • It draws the first pixel and sets the current x and y coordinates.
    • It updates the decision parameter d for each pixel along the line.
    • It uses only integer arithmetic and avoids floating-point calculations.
    • The algorithm is efficient and can be implemented using simple integer operations.
