I need to find all points that are on a line. I tried Bresenham's algorithm but it doesn't work on the following case:
(0, 0)
.-----------+-----------+-----------.
|...........| | |
|...........| | |
|.....XXXX..| | |
|........XXXX | |
|...........XXXXX | |
+-----------+---XXXX----+-----------+
| |......XXXXX|...........|
| |..........XXXX.........|
| |...........|.XXXXX.....|
| |...........|...........|
| |...........|...........|
`-----------+-----------+-----------´
(2, 1)
X
is the actual line, .
is what Bresenham's algorithm returns, notice the line crosses (1, 0)
but it is not marked.
How can I find all the pixels a line goes through efficiently? I don't need this anti-aliased so I think Wu's algorithm is an overkill. The line endpoints are in middle of the pixels.
To reference the algorithm I have is:
int dx = System.Math.Abs(x0 - x1);
int dy = System.Math.Abs(y0 - y1);
int sx = x0 < x1 ? 1 : -1;
int sy = y0 < y1 ? 1 : -1;
int err = dx - dy;
int lx = x0;
int ly = y0;
for(int i = 0; true; i++)
{
Mark(x0, y0);
if(x0 == x1 && y0 == y1)
break;
int e2 = err * 2;
if(e2 > -dy)
{
err -= dy;
x0 += sx;
}
if(e2 < dx)
{
err += dx;
y0 += sy;
}
}
