A colleague at work, Terry Gomes, (who's doing a bang up job writing
graphics software for us) has asked me to solicit a pointer to a
version of Bresenham's circle algorithm modified for arbitrarily oriented
ellipses.  He has one article about 20 years old, but it is obscure as mud,
and he was hoping for code or a citation to the literature for an easy to
implement and easy to understand recent version.  Any help would be appreciated.

I'm posting from the Well, which is fine for reading mail, and posting news, but
far too slow (VAX 11/750 hosted) for reading news, so I'd appreciate an email
reply, even if the response is also posted.  Thanks!

Kent, the man from xanth.
