In this paper, the algorithms to scan converting conics on hexagonal grid using method of deviation are proposed. The method of deviation computes the pixel nearest to the analogue curve using only integer arithmetic. The proposed algorithm is compared favourably with the latest conics drawing algorithm on hexagonal grid. The idea may be applied to scan converting any arbitrary curves. The transformation function to convert Cartesian coordinate system to hexagonal coordinate system is also proposed. Copyright © 2015 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

An alternative conics drawing algorithm on a hexagonal grid using method of deviation

International Journal of Computer Applications in Technology

In this paper, the idea of semi-circular angle-based circle generation algorithm on a hexagonal grid is proposed. It makes use of the advantages of hexagonal sampling that scan-convert the pixel on the raster with less scan-conversion error. The performance of the proposed algorithm is compared to that of the conventional circle generation algorithm on a hexagonal grid. The qualitative and quantitative analysis shows that the proposed algorithm outperforms the existing circle drawing algorithm on a hexagonal grid in terms of less computation cost. © 2016 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.

Semi-circular angle-based one bit circle generation algorithm on a hexagonal grid

In this paper an algorithm to scan convert a line using method of deviation on hexagonal grid is proposed. The method of deviation computes pixel nearest to analog line using only integer arithmetic. The proposed algorithm is compared favorably with the latest line drawing algorithm on a hexagonal grid. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the same may be applied to an arbitrary curve. Owing to this approach we may visualize design ideas through animation and photorealistic renderings, and simulate how a design will perform in the real world in CAD tool with less aliasing artifact.
