Different methods to draw a curve
Method 1:
Using circle symmetry property, we generate the circle path with vertical spans in the octant from x = 0 to x = y, and then reflect pixel positions about the line y = x to y=0
Method 2:
Another method for displaying thick curves is to fill in the area between two Parallel curve paths, whose separation distance is equal to the desired width. We could do this using the specified curve path as one boundary and setting up the second boundary either inside or outside the original curve path. This approach, however, shifts the original curve path either inward or outward, depending on which direction we choose for the second boundary.

Method 3:
The pixel masks discussed for implementing line-style options could also be used in raster curve algorithms to generate dashed or dotted patterns
Method 4:
Pen (or brush) displays of curves are generated using the same techniques discussed for straight-line segments.
Method 5:
Painting and drawing programs allow pictures to be constructed interactively by using a pointing device, such as a stylus and a graphics tablet, to sketch various curve shapes.
