Program 8: Drawing A Line Using Bresenham's Algorithm

This document describes a C++ program that implements Bresenham's line drawing algorithm to draw a line in OpenGL. It includes functions to initialize the display window, set individual pixels, implement the core line drawing logic according to Bresenham's algorithm, clear the display and set the line color and thickness, and contains a main function that initializes GLUT and GLUT_RGB display mode before calling the line drawing function.
