Midpoint circle algorithm information


Rasterizing a circle of radius 23 with the Bresenham midpoint circle algorithm. Only the green octant is actually calculated, it's simply mirrored eight times to form the other seven octants.

In computer graphics, the midpoint circle algorithm is an algorithm used to determine the points needed for rasterizing a circle. It's a generalization of Bresenham's line algorithm. The algorithm can be further generalized to conic sections.[1][2][3]
