The Computer Graphics Manual
The main idea behind octantal DDA is to move along the line either horizontally
or diagonally, but not vertically (the precise rule depends on the slope). The main
feature of such lines is that they are made of segments that do not overlap ...

Computer Graphics and Geometric Modeling
Exercise 2.4: Do it. The main advantage of the octantal over the quadrantal DDA
is the number of pixels per line, which is closer to the length of the line. Lines
drawn using this method look finer and more precise. For lines close to horizontal
or ...

a“. “217* If g = 5. this term is = = , so that with 8. quadrantal deviation of 6° 30' this
should introduce an octantal deviation of 1°. We may therefore safely fix three ...

The Magnetism of Ships, and the Deviations of the Compass
Mr. Evans, it is understood, shows by experiments that the Admiralty standard
comuuss card with four parallel needles is free from the octantal error here
alluded to. The double needle card is now almost universally used in the
merchant ...

Elements of Electronic Navigation,2e
(a) The ground station equipment error is mainly the octantal error in the
installations using two antenna pairs and a rotating goniometer for obtaining the
rotating figure-of-eight pattern. Octantal error can also arise owing to in
homogeneity in ...

They show, in the expression for the deviation, sextantal and octantal terms f very

Admiralty standard compass was tested in circumstances otherwise similar.

The Collected Papers of Lewis Fry Richardson:
To prevent them, all quantities peculiar to the octantal arrangement have a star
affixed. This new convention does not change the meanings of n and <j>, for they
were defined over the quadrant, but we now have an octantal n* connected with ...
