DDA Line Drawing Algorithm Using OpenGL

The document describes the Digital Differential Analyzer (DDA) line drawing algorithm. It includes the C code implementation of the algorithm. The algorithm takes in four points as input - the starting and ending points of the line segment. It then calculates the increment along the x and y axes for each pixel. It plots the line segment by incrementing x and y by the calculated increments in a loop from the starting to ending point. The code initializes the window, calls the display function containing the DDA algorithm on each refresh, and runs the main GLUT loop.
