of optimizing the center-fill of large circles. Outline circles were of optimizing the center-fill of large circles. Outline circles were

The best way to accelerate circle drawing is to not draw a full circle.
Instead, draw an approximation of a circle using a series of lines. This
is a common technique when using 3D graphics hardware, as they are
generally geared toward polygon rendering. Outline circles would see a
significant improvement, with some reduction in quality.
