Yet More Circle Generators
Department of Computer Science, Brunel University, Uxbridge, Middlesex, UB8 3PH, UK
This paper presents efficient algorithms for generating points on the circumference of a circle, based on extensions to an ellipse-drawing algorithm attributed to Minsky. The algorithms have direct use in the control of the path of machine tools, particularly through their acceleration and deceleration phases.
