A Mathematical Overview of Bresenham Algorithms in the Determination of Active Pixel Positions

Makanjuola Daniel

A computer display monitor, usually called simply a monitor, is a piece of electrical equipment which displays viewable images generated by a computer without producing a permanent record. The monitor comprises the display device, circuitry to generate a picture from electronic signals sent by the computer, and an enclose or case. Within the computer, either as an integral part or a plugged-in-interface, there is circuitry to convert internal data to a format compatible with a monitor. The CRT or Cathode Ray Tube is the picture tube of a monitor. The back of the tube has a negatively charged cathode. The electron gun shoots electrons down the tube and onto a charged screen. The screen is coated with a pattern of dots that glow when struck by the electron stream. Each cluster of three dots, one for each colour, is one pixel. Several algorithms and models have been staged up at determining the position of pixels resourceful at displaying an image on the screen. This paper is inclined to illustrate a bird-view of mathematical-based bresenham’s algorithms used in determining the positions of active pixels in forming images on the screen of a display system.
