Line Drawing (cuneiform)
Line drawing may mean: *Line art, a style of two-dimensional art featuring only two, unshaded, contrasting colors *Line drawing algorithm, in computer graphics See also *Box-drawing character Box-drawing characters, also known as line-drawing characters, are a form of semigraphics widely used in text user interfaces to draw various geometric frames and boxes. Box-drawing characters typically only work well with monospaced fonts. In ...

Line Art
Line art or line drawing is any image that consists of distinct straight lines or curves placed against a background (usually plain), without gradations in shade (darkness) or hue (color) to represent two-dimensional or three-dimensional objects. Line art can use lines of different colors, although line art is usually monochromatic. Techniques Line art emphasizes form and drawings, of several (few) constant widths (as in technical illustrations), or of freely varying widths (as in brush work or engraving). Line art may tend towards realism (as in much of Gustave Doré's work), or it may be a caricature, cartoon, ideograph, or glyph. Form One of the most fundamental elements of art is the line. An important feature of a line is that it indicates the edge of a two-dimensional (flat) shape or a three-dimensional form. A shape can be indicated by means of an outline, and a three-dimensional form can be indicated by contour lines.Sayre, Henry M. ''A World of Art''. Prentice Hall. ...

Line Drawing Algorithm
In computer graphics, a line drawing algorithm is an algorithm for approximating a line segment on discrete graphical media, such as pixel-based displays and printers. On such media, line drawing requires an approximation (in nontrivial cases). Basic algorithms rasterize lines in one color. A better representation with multiple color gradations requires an advanced process, spatial anti-aliasing. On continuous media, by contrast, no algorithm is necessary to draw a line. For example, cathode-ray oscilloscopes use analog phenomena to draw lines and curves. List of line drawing algorithms The following is a partial list of line drawing algorithms: * Naive algorithm * Digital Differential Analyzer (graphics algorithm) — Similar to the naive line-drawing algorithm, with minor variations. *Bresenham's line algorithm — optimized to use only additions (i.e. no division Multiplications); it also avoids floating-point computations. *Xiaolin Wu's line algorithm — can perform s ...
