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.

For example, cathode-ray oscilloscopes use analog phenomena to draw lines and curves. The Cartesian slope-intercept equation for a straight line isWith m representing the slope of the line and b as the y-intercept. Given that the two endpoints of the line segment are specified at positions and , we can determine values for the slope m and y-intercept b with the following calculations: so, . (en)
