Digital differential analyzer
ID: digital-differential-analyzer
The Digital Differential Analyzer (DDA) is an algorithm used in computer graphics to generate a rasterized line or curve between two endpoints. It operates by incrementing both x and y coordinates using differential equations to produce the closest representation of a straight line or other graphical elements on a pixel-based display. ### Key Features of DDA: 1. **Incremental Approach**: The DDA uses incremental calculations to determine the intermediate points for the line or curve, making it efficient and straightforward.
