What is the method for using Bresenham to produce a line with an unspecified thickness?

edit

Bresenham's line algorithm is a method for drawing a line between two endpoints using only integer values. It does not have an inherent method for producing a line with an unspecified thickness. However, one possible method for achieving this effect using Bresenham's algorithm is as follows:

1. Determine the direction of the line (e.g. horizontal, vertical, or diagonal)
2. Determine the thickness of the line (e.g. 1 pixel, 2 pixels, etc.)
3. Use Bresenham's algorithm to draw a line with the desired thickness by drawing multiple lines side-by-side in the appropriate direction. For example, to draw a horizontal line with thickness 3: a. Compute the slope of the line and the distance between the endpoints b. Draw the central line of thickness 1 using Bresenham's algorithm c. Draw two additional lines, one above and one below the central line, each offset by half the thickness. For example, if the thickness is 3 pixels, draw one line with an offset of 1.5 pixels above the central line and one with an offset of 1.5 pixels below the central line.
4. If desired, use anti-aliasing techniques to smooth the edges of the line.
