An apparatus, method and computer readable medium containing a program are described for generating a line corresponding to a desired straight line, including identifying a plurality of segments between two endpoints of the desired straight line to be generated, and generating the line corresponding to the desired straight line comprising identifying, in parallel, pixels in each of more than one of the segments. By processing in parallel, processor time is reduced. Also, anti-aliasing techniques can be similarly performed in parallel to reduce processor time.
