Using Bresenham's circle algorithm (or another alternative algorithm) to draw an arc
I'm trying to create some graphic functions for a ZX Spectrum (Z80) machine in assembler. I already have the basics except for the arc.
I need a fast algorithm to draw an arc, ideally one that uses ...

Algorithm for drawing generalised circles
A generalised circle is either a circle in the plane or a line. The general equation of one is:
$$A(x^2 + y^2) + Bx + Cy + D=0,$$
where $4AD - B^2 - C^2 \leq 0$. This can be checked by completing the ...

Bresenham circle drawing algorithm, compute the distance?
In the Bresenham circle drawing algorithm, we have to choose between the top and bottom pixel, but what we always do is using the circle's equation ($f(x, y) = x^2 + y^2 = r^2$) to determine which of ...

What is the point of having integer-based draw routines in software rasterizer?
I wonder why all the well known algorithms of drawing for example circles (bresenham, mid-point, etc) all use integer arithmetics? For example, here is a simple circle drawn with bresenham algorithm:
...
