Bresenham's line algorithm in node. ES6 generators are supported! \o/
$ npm install bresenham
Calls fn with points between (x0, y0) and (x1, y1).
The points have integer coordinates.
If fn is omitted, an array of points is returned.
The algorithm uses no floating point arithmetics, so it's considered to be fast. But JS numbers are not integers, so I'm not sure whether this is a faster approach than the naive algorithm or not.
If you require('bresenham/generator'), you can use the generator API.
Creates a generator that yields every point between (x0, y0) and (x1, y1).
var line = bresenham(1, 2, 3, 4);
do {
var point = line.next().value;
// do something
} while(point);

The bresenham-line package provides a similar functionality to the bresenham package, implementing Bresenham's line algorithm. It offers a straightforward API to calculate line points between two coordinates. Compared to bresenham, it may have different performance characteristics or additional features, but both serve the same primary purpose of line drawing on a grid.
