Thanks for posting the Bresenham algorithm, and the excellent explanation.

So, whats the circle-drawing algorithm? ;-)  Seriously, you don't need to
make another long great post if you don't have time.  I am mainly
interested in the reference you recommend for Bresenham's algorithms.  As I
said to another person who also responded to my question,
