bresenham's circle algorithm uses the approach of code example
Example: bresenham circle drawing algorithm
void EightWaySymmetricPlot(int xc,int yc,int x,int y)
{
putpixel(x+xc,y+yc,RED);
putpixel(x+xc,-y+yc,YELLOW);
putpixel(-x+xc,-y+yc,GREEN);
putpixel(-x+xc,y+yc,YELLOW);
putpixel(y+xc,x+yc,12);
putpixel(y+xc,-x+yc,14);
putpixel(-y+xc,-x+yc,15);
putpixel(-y+xc,x+yc,6);
}
void BresenhamCircle(int xc,int yc,int r)
{
int x=0,y=r,d=3-(2*r);
EightWaySymmetricPlot(xc,yc,x,y);
while(x<=y)
{
if(d<=0)
{
d=d+(4*x)+6;
}
else
{
d=d+(4*x)-(4*y)+10;
y=y-1;
}
x=x+1;
EightWaySymmetricPlot(xc,yc,x,y);
}
}
