David, Check out Bresenham's Algorithm for line drawing: (URL) It's been around forever and does not require complex math - which was not available on older computers anyways. Sometimes the old guys knew how to do stuff right. Ralph (18 years ago, 23-Mar-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) You mean like this? (URL) have that packaged up in a MyBlock, and other than rounding errors it works nice and fairly quickly. (...) Not exactly; it really depends on the precision you want/need. (18 years ago, 23-Mar-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) The points on the line take the form y = mx + b, where b is the intercept with the y-axis and m is the slope. For the problem as you describe it, b is 0 since the line crosses the y-axis at zero, and m = 1.5 or 15/10 since the slope is the (...) (18 years ago, 23-Mar-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
