 GameDev.net - Bresenham's Line and Circle Algorithms
One property of lines is that they are symetrical about their mid-points, and we can use this property to speed up the algorithm.
Circles have the property of being highly symetrical, which is handy when it comes to drawing them on a display screen.
Note that if you are writing a line routine for mode 13h (for example) you can speed it up by converting the inner loop to assembly and including mode 13h specific code.
