Given a raster of square pixels, this leads to every square containing a part of the line being colored. A generalization of 4-connected line drawing methods to three dimensions is used when dealing with voxel grids, for example in optimized ray tracing, where it can determine the voxels that a given ray crosses.
Plotting the line from (0,1) to (6,4) showing a plot of grid lines and pixels. All of the derivation for the algorithm is done. One performance issue is the 1/2 factor in the initial value of D. Since all of this is about the sign of the accumulated difference, then everything can be multiplied by 2 with no consequence.
A line is then sampled at unit intervals in one coordinate and corresponding integer values nearest the line path are determined for the other coordinate. Considering a line with positive slope, if the slope is less than or equal to 1, we sample at unit x intervals (dx=1) and compute successive y values as + = +
A temporal raster plot is a graphic representation of occurrences in a certain temporal relation. Temporal raster plots are also sometimes referred to as carpet plots . Each occurrence is registered in a Cartesian coordinate system, in which both axes show time but have different time resolutions: one axis shows slices of data, the other some ...
Just as with Bresenham's line algorithm, this algorithm can be optimized for integer-based math. Because of symmetry, if an algorithm can be found that only computes the pixels for one octant, the pixels can be reflected to get the whole circle.
Waterfall plots are often used to show how two-dimensional phenomena change over time. [1] A three-dimensional spectral waterfall plot is a plot in which multiple curves of data, typically spectra, are displayed simultaneously. Typically the curves are staggered both across the screen and vertically, with "nearer" curves masking the ones behind.
A carpet plot with two independent variables and one dependent variable is often called a cheater plot for the use of a phantom "cheater" axis instead of the horizontal axis. As a result of this missing axis, the values can be shifted horizontally such that the intersections line up vertically.
Raster-based stacked surfaces depict the surface of each buried geologic unit, and can accommodate data on lateral variations of physical properties. In this example from Soller and others (1999), [32] the upper surface of each buried geologic unit was represented in raster format as an ArcInfo Grid file. The middle grid is the uppermost ...
