Just out of curiosity on my part, is it different from the mechanism I suggested in Reply #7?
...R

plotLine(x0,y0, x1,y1)
  dx=x1-x0
  dy=y1-y0

  D = 2*dy - dx
  plot(x0,y0)
  y=y0

  for x from x0+1 to x1
    if D > 0
      y = y+1
      plot(x,y)
      D = D + (2*dy-2*dx)
    else
      plot(x,y)
      D = D + (2*dy)
