[Haskell-cafe] Line drawing algorithm

[CK Kashyap]

Thanks Neil ... 


> Are you doing this to learn Haskell, learn about drawing lines, or to just get it implemented?  If either of the latter two, when drawing a straight line you shouldn't need to do floating point operations such as this:

Actually, my reasons are first and third.

Thanks for the link.

Slope would differ right for both case right?

Regards,
Kashyap
