Fast filled circle

[bplus]

Thanks bplus for the excellent example.
It got me thinking about BF option; why is it there? It seems unneeded.

After experimenting, I found that the BF option, even with single line makes drawing the line 5x faster!
Against common sense I added the BF option to the line statements in my code and surprise... it was 5x faster also.
Now it has the same speed  (even a tiny bit faster) as your routine:

Code: (Select All)

Sub fCircle (x%, y%, r%, c~&)
  'Filled Circle: Transparency OK & >20x faster then Paint
  r2& = r% * r%
  xx% = Sqr(r2& - y2&): Line (x% - xx%, y%)-(x% + xx%, y%), c~&, BF
  For yy% = 1 To r%
    y2& = yy% * yy%: xx% = Sqr(r2& - y2&)
    Line (x% - xx%, y% - yy%)-(x% + xx%, y% - yy%), c~&, BF
    Line (x% - xx%, y% + yy%)-(x% + xx%, y% + yy%), c~&, BF
  Next yy%
End Sub

Ah very interesting! Thanks I like less LOC whenever it makes sense.
