Implementing Midpoint Circle Algorithm in C++

The Midpoint Circle Algorithm (MPC) is an efficient way to draw a circle using raster graphics. It is an improved version of Bresenham’s circle drawing algorithm and avoids using floating-point calculations, making it faster for computer graphics. This blog post explains a C++ program that implements the Midpoint Circle Algorithm using the graphics.h library.

Implementing Midpoint Ellipse Algorithm in C++

Ellipses are fundamental shapes in computer graphics, widely used in various applications such as image processing, animation, and CAD systems. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to draw an ellipse using the Midpoint Ellipse Algorithm in C++ with graphics.h.

Introduction to Midpoint Ellipse Algorithm

The Midpoint Ellipse Algorithm is an efficient way to generate an ellipse using only integer operations. It is based on the midpoint method, which determines the next pixel position by evaluating a decision parameter.

This algorithm divides the ellipse into two regions:

  1. Region 1: The slope of the curve is less than 1.
  2. Region 2: The slope of the curve is greater than 1.

Each region is processed separately to ensure a smooth curve.

C++ Code Implementation

Below is the C++ program that implements the Midpoint Ellipse Algorithm. It uses the graphics.h library, which is part of the Turbo C++ environment.
