Hi, I think if you use Bresenham's algorithm, or the midpoint algorithm (which
are similar), you should be able to do it.  That can certainly draw straight
lines and circles.

Consult a graphics text book (e.g. Computer Graphics, Principles and Practice,
Foley and Van Damm).

Hope this is of some help,
